Présentation de l'éditeur

Edited by Kunsthalle Wien; foreword by Nicolaus Schafhausen; texts by Joshua Decter and Tom McDonough---------------The Only Female Fool is how Isa Genzken describes herself in the self-chosen title of her exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien. This statement is typical of the fluid boundaries between deep seriousness and the exuberant, eccentric spirit that pervades her work. Genzken's artistic practice is characterized by a wide spectrum of media and forms, although her roots in sculpture always remain visible. The exhibition and catalogue focus on specific aspects of her oeuvre, including the mirror motif, the examination of architecture, and space as a social sphere; where early works are juxtaposed with series from later creative periods. Genzken's collaboration with other artists and her admiration for certain artistic positions is also brought into focus, and selected works by Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Lawrence Weiner are presented in dialogue with Genzken s multilayered work.----------------Copublished with Kunsthalle Wien on the occasion of Isa Genzken's exhibition ''I'm Isa Genzken, the Only Female Fool,'' May 28 to September 7, 2014---------------Design by Kummer & Herrman
