In the continual disappointment of failed political and social utopias--the 60 and the Eastern Bloc come to mind--artists, like everyone else, often find themselves indulging melancholic nostalgia. Between Two Deaths collects work addressing those feelings of uneasiness and loss, critical-artistic reflections on the political, social and cultural trends towards regret and retrospection. The assembled work observes conservative cultural debates, stagnation, regression, fear, insecurity, lethargy and nostalgia, not with censure but with interest--with curiosity about these feelings, and about the cynical pessimism or oft-prescribed optimism that follows. With contributions from Bas Jan Ader, Sebastian Diaz-Morales, Elin Hansdottir, Jutta Koether, Javier Tellez, and Mark Titchner, Harry Dodge, Sue de Beer, Stanya Kahn, Brock Enright and Barnaby Furnass.

Hardcover. Etat : Sehr gut. Etat de la jaquette : Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 328 Seiten/pp., 385 Abbildungen/ills. Leinen/linen-hardcover - Between Two Deaths presents a critical artistic reflection on the political, social, and cultural trend toward melancholic introspection. The effects can be felt everywhere: conservative cultural debates, insecurity, and lethargy are spreading. Key terms for this growing trend in contemporary art are neo-Romanticism, angst, horror, and neo-goth. Featuring essays by philosophers, psychoanalysts, art historians, and sociologists on topics such as melancholy and melodrama in contemporary art, this publication does not reject this diagnosis, but challenges an affirmative attitude toward this situation while suggesting alternatives. An appendix with texts on the works included and brief biographies and bibliographies of each artist completes the volume. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1608646483115
