Synopsis
Engage in pursuit of democracy and social change through the provocative and political art of Hans Haacke.
Hans Haacke is a legend of political conceptual art, and at the same time, his work is highly topical and of great relevance today. As a founding figure of artistic institutional critique, Haacke redefined the relationship between art and society, as well as influenced generations of artists. This lavishly illustrated volume, Hans Haacke, presents a comprehensive introduction to the German-American artist with works from 1959 to the present day.
Haacke’s works are provocative and political, but also humorous and poetical. In his early work of the 1960s, he initially reflected on biological and physical (eco-)systems before turning his attention to socio-political structures, which he then subjected to a sharp—often unsparing—analysis. Thus, he examines the abuse of power, historical and political upheavals, the entanglement of public institutions, politics and the economy, and anti-democratic tendencies. He insists on the societal relevance of art and its transformative potential.

Gebunden. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesenes, vollständiges Exemplar; in sehr gutem Zustand, leichte Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -Hans Haacke ist eine Legende der politischen Konzeptkunst - zugleich ist sein Werk hochaktuell und von großer Relevanz in der Gegenwart. Als Gründungsfigur der künstlerischen Institutionskritik hat Haacke das Verhältnis von Kunst und Gesellschaft neu definiert und nachfolgende Generationen von Künstler\*innen geprägt. Der reich bebilderte Band stellt den deutsch-amerikanischen Künstler mit Arbeiten von 1959 bis heute umfassend vor.Hans Haackesuvre ist provokant und politisch, aber auch humorvoll und poetisch. In seinem Frühwerk in den 1960er Jahren reflektiert er zunächst biologische und physikalische (Öko-)Systeme, um dann sozio-politische Strukturen in den Blick zu nehmen und einer scharfen, oft schonungslosen Analyse zu unterziehen. So thematisiert er Machtmissbrauch, geschichtspolitische Verwerfungen, Verquickungen von öffentlichen Institutionen, Politik und Ökonomie und nicht zuletzt antidemokratische Tendenzen - er besteht auf der gesellschaftlichen Relevanz von Kunst und ihrem verändernden Potenzial. 264 pp. Englisch.
