Book Description: Walther Konig, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Supernatural beings dictate entire texts, voices from the beyond give commands to paint, spirits draw attention to themselves with knocking sounds and make mediums speak unknown languages. It was not only in the fine arts that occult practices, voices of supernatural beings and magic moments were often felt to be suspicious. For the first time, the exhibition The Message ? The Medium as Artist presents the astonishing history of the impact of a largely unknown phenomenon in art from 1850 until the present day: the exhibition, curated by Claudia Dichter, Michael Krajewski and Susanne Zander, brings together paintings, drawings and automatic etchings by more than 25 artists. Moreover, with films, photographs and audio recordings, it traces a line from the earliest mediumistic works from the second half of the 19th century to the present. Theodor PrinzArt works by mediums who were very famous in their day such as Hélène Smith (1861-1929), Georgiana Houghton (1814-1884), Victorien Sardou (1831-1908) and Augustin Lesage (1876-1954) are on exhibit, as well as the astonishing paintings of the Swedish artist Hilma Af Klint (1862-1944), who developed almost in isolation early abstract compositions parallel to Wassily Kandinsky.In 1933, the writer André Breton compared the inexplicable phenomena with the art of the surrealists in his detailed essay ?The Automatic Message? At the end of the 60s, the American Ted Serios took thought photographs (?thoughtographs?) in front of the running cameras of the broadcaster Sender Freies Berlin ? Polaroid pictures and the film will be presented at the Art Museum of Bochum. About 40 ghost photographs from the famous archive of the Munich parapsychologist Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862-1929) fixate the contact with the extrasensory in pictures; historical recordings of mediums make occult voices audible for the first time.Free Delivery Confirmation.
