Synopsis
In the fall of 1999, Edition Patrick Frey published Piotr Uklanski's artist book, The Nazis, which quickly went out of print and became a highly coveted cult book. Whereas The Nazis collected stills of actors playing Nazis in various Hollywood movies, Uklanksi's new book, Real Nazis, juxtaposes them with the real thing: Nazi party bigwigs, decorated "war heroes" and war criminals. Painstakingly culled from a variety of archives, this follow-up compilation superimposes fact upon fiction: the stagey, propagandistic imagery of the Third Reich is mixed in with the Nazi iconography of Hollywood, revealing an uncanny, even spooky, resemblance between the play-acting and real-life exponents of evil. Designed with the same format and production values as its predecessor, Real Nazis asks who are the "real" Nazis in this picture puzzle? What is a bona fide Nazi? Which pictures are "real" and which are "fake?" This hall of mirrors serves as a radical commentary on our alarming current condition, in which the lines between populist and fascistic politics are increasingly blurring. Then as now, "Beneath all the insignia and accoutrements of evil lurks the iconography of media kitsch and ridicule. It's all about the power of costumes and the costumes of power, about the glamour of evil, the glistening shine of fake medals made of fake gold."

About the Author
Piotr Uklanski (né en 1968 à Varsovie) a émergé sur la scène artistique new-yorkaise au milieu des années 1990 grâce à une œuvre emblématique, The Dance Floor (La Piste de Danse), qui intègre simultanément le legs du minimalisme et le flou de l'art et du divertissement qui caractérise l'époque actuelle. Tantôt à New York, tantôt à Varsovie ou à Paris, Uklanski a fabriqué un corpus de travaux éclectiques qui exploite plusieurs types de supports (sculpture, photographie, collage, performance et vidéo) tout en intégrant confusément des références culturelles. Son œuvre a été exposée dans divers contextes internationaux dont la Biennale de Venise en 2003, le Musée d'Art Contemporain de New York, Manifesta 2, le musée Ludwig à Cologne, la Biennale de Sao Paolo en 2004, la Kunsthalle à Bâle, etc.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Glamouröse Fiktion des Bösen: Im Herbst 1999 erschien The Nazis, ein legendäres Kultbuch der Edition Patrick Frey, längst vergriffen, nach wie vor heiss begehrt. Während The Nazis noch eine Bildersammlung von Nazi-Darstellern im Film war, fügt der polnische Künstler Piotr Uklanski nun seiner Arbeit einen weiteren Bilderzyklus hinzu. Es ist ein radikaler Kommentar zur aktuellen politischen Stimmungslage, in der die Grenzen zwischen dem Populistischen und dem Faschistoiden zunehmend verschwimmen: Real Nazis versammelt Bilder «echter» Nazis - Parteigrössen, Kriegshelden und Verbrecher. Aus zahlreichen Archiven sorgfältig zusammengestellt, legt das Folgebuch nun die propagandistisch-inszenatorische Bilderwelt des Dritten Reichs wiederum folienhaft über die fiktionale Nazi-Ikonografie Hollywoods. Und die fiktiven und die realen Exponenten desBösen sind sich auf gespenstische Weise zum Verwechseln ähnlich. Auch in der gleich gehaltenen Gestaltung und Materialität spiegelt der «hässlichen realen Bruder» das «glamouröse» Künstlerbuch. Und wie 1999 könnten wir notieren: «Aber hinter all den Zeichen des Bösen lauert die Ikonographie des medialen Kitsches und der Lächerlichkeit. Es geht um die Macht der Verkleidung und die Verkleidung der Macht. Es geht um den Glamour des Bösen, um das Scheinen und Schimmern der falschen Orden aus falschem Gold.» Wer sind nun die «wirklichen» Nazis in diesem Vexierbild Was qualifiziert einen zum Nazi Welche der Bilder sind real und welche nicht Alle Keines Uklanskis Real Nazis erscheint am 7. Juni 2017 im Rahmen der Eröffnung der documenta 14 in Kassel. Seller Inventory # 9783906803524
