Items related to Jahresring 50
A multi-generational selection of 31 artists was invited to contribute work for this 50th anniversary issue of Jahresring, the Cologne journal of art criticism. After 49 issues dealing in various aspects of art criticism, the editors decided it was time to let art itself take the limelight. Artists such as Fischli & Weiss, Rosemarie Trockel, Richard Artschwager, Diana Thater, On Kawara, Ellen Gallagher, Wolfgang Tillmans and Gerhard Richter contributed that deals with questions about the potential of art, the importance of aesthetics, the conditions needed for beauty today, and whether or not beauty and sensuality are still relevant.

About the Author:
Peter Fischli and David Weiss were both born in Zurich, Switzerland--Fischli in 1952 and Weiss in 1946. They began to work collaboratively in 1979, and had their first solo exhibition in 1981 at the Galerie Balkon in Geneva. Solo exhibitions of their work have been organized by the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others. They represented Switzerland in both the 1995 and 2003 Venice Biennales, winning the Golden Lion award in 2003, and were included in the 1987 and 1997 Documentas. They live and work in Zurich.
Ghada Amer was born in 1963 in Cairo. She attended in art school in Paris and currently lives and works in New York. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including a solo show at the Contemporary Art Museum in Houston and such group shows as the 2000 Whitney Biennial 2000, the 1999 Venice Biennale, the Kwangju Biennale and the Short Century.
Francis Alys was born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1959. Trained as an architect, Alys moved to Mexico in 1986 and within a few years began to work as a visual artist. Known initially for his paintings, Alys has also become a highly regarded video artist, interventionist and performance artist. His work received a great deal of attention in 2002, when he staged a ceremonial procession commemorating The Museum of Modern Art's move from midtown Manhattan to its temporary home in Long Island City, Queens. Alys has also exhibited work in group exhibitions at The Hayward Gallery, London, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York.
Olafur Eliasson was born in Copenhagen in 1967 to Icelandic parents. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art, and now lives and works in Berlin. He says of his site-specific work that iinstalling it elsewhere is possible but then it is an other piece for me.i Nevertheless, his work is represented in public and private collections including those of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Deste Foundation, Athens. Venues for his solo shows have included the Menil Collection; the Danish Pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Tate Gallery.
Ellen Gallagher was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and educated at Oberlin College and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. She has had solo exhibitions at the Gagosian Gallery in New York and Anthony D'Offay Gallery in London. Her work has been reviewed in major art and general-interest publications throughout the world, including Artforum, W, the New York Times, and many others, and is in major public collections nationwide. She lives and works in New York City and Provincetown, Massachussetts.
Isa Genzken was born in 1948. She has exhibited her work in Germany and internationally since the 1970s. Her artistic vocabulary acknowledes modernism as both model and loss and is characterized by the use of a variety of often unexpected materials, ranging from kitchen utensils to newspaper headlines and press release flyers. Her work often addresses architectural themes and the experience of contemporary urbanism.
Gerhard Richter was born in 1932 in Dresden, Germany. Since the early 1960s he has emerged as one of the essential painters of the postwar period, pioneering photorealism with paintings made from found photographs (amateur snapshots, advertisements and book and magazine illustrations) and then from his own photographs. His work has also profoundly engaged with and influenced such genres as Pop and abstract art. A retrospective of Richter's work was shown in 2001 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition was one of the largest ever organized there for a living artist, and traveled to The Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.
Rosemarie Trockel was born in 1952 in Schwerte, Germany. She studied painting in Cologne in the mid-70s, and had her debut show at Galerie Philomene Magers in Bonn, in 1983; since then, she has exhibited widely in Europe and North America, including in such major shows as the 1996 and 1999 Venice Biennales, the 1995 and 1999 Istanbul Biennials, and Documenta X. Recent solo exhibitions were presented at the Sammlung Goetz, Munich and the Kunsthalle, Hamburg. Trockel lives and works in Cologne.
