This book, which accompanies a forthcoming exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim Museum, investigates the legacy of northern Romantic landscape painting in contemporary photography, sculpture and video. It presents artists' reveries on place, which transform the idealism of the Romantic tradition through the specificity of photographic representation. The book features works by some seven artists who are inspired by the northern climes in which they live, including Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Eiger Esser, Thomas Flechtner, Roni Horn and Armin Linke.

OLeinen m. OU. 71 S.; pp. SEHR GUTER ZUSTAND, Verlagsfrisch, in Orginalfolie eingeschweißt. zahlreiche Abb. Ill mint. EAN (ISBN-13): 9780892073702 True North features the work of contemporary artists whose photographic or video-based work evokes the formal conventions of Northern Romantic landscape painting as well as its legacy in later nineteenth-century photography. Yet unlike their Romantic antecedents, the works in this exhibition are historically and politically self-reflexive and problematize the notion of a pure, unchangeable North. Rather than report a uniquely Northern essence or truth, this presentation is premised on the idea that our visions of the North are structured through our own varying positions. A fantastical place of fear, desire, refuge, conquest and decay, the North has played an increasingly important role in the work of contemporary artists interested in the socio-political issues of colonization and pollution, as well as aesthetic notions of the sublime. Accompanying a spring 2008 exhibition at Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, this catalogue includes entries on the featured artists: Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Elger Esser, Thomas Flechtner, Roni Horn, Armin Linke and Orit Raff. In the introduction, Jennifer Blessing, Curator of Photography at the Guggenheim Museum, sketches a theoretical framework for the exhibition, linking the recent focus on Northern locales to the qualities of the photographic medium itself. Rebecca Solnit's poetic essay gathers together personal recollections, reflections on literature and environmental and political concerns to explore various cultural fantasies and symbols associated with the North. Fotografien von Nordregionen, aufgenommen von Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Elger Esser, Thomas Fechtner, Roni Horn, Armin Linke und Orit Raff. Text von Rebecca Solnit Size: 25 x 27 Cm. 1100 Gr.
