Item description from seller

Unoag. Mit einem Brief des Künstlers. Einband leicht berieben. - Beat Huber's figures, cut out of flexible foam, are more than works of art; they are an analysis - a structuralist analysis of the human constitution, of a (socialized) body and gender. Roland Barthes* said that a person who engages in structuralist activity (activity that is independent of any other discipline) does not accept things as natural givens but rather reads them as things saturated with the processes of acquiring meaning. For Barthes, the goal of structuralist activity, whether reflexive or poetic, consists of reconstructing an 'object' in such manner that its reconstitution reveals the rules according to which it functions, i.e. reveals what its functions are. The "object" that is simulated is man. Of interest are the unconscious "rules" that produce (generate) him. The flexible-foam figures are a language, a language of the body. Ferdinand de Saussure defined language as a system of signs and values that express ideas; it is a classifying system, a social institution. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
