Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the work of artists such as Bernd &amp; Hilla Becher, Ed Ruscha and Bruce Nauman, to its rise to art-world prominence in the work of the artists of the late 70s and early 80s including Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman. Intended as a major genealogy of the rise of a still-powerful and evolving photographic practice by artists, the checklist will include a wide array of works examining a range of issues: performativity and photographic practice; portraiture and cultural identity; the formal and social architectonics of the built environment; societal and individual interventions in the landscape; photography's relationship to sculpture and painting; the visual mediation of meaning in popular culture; and the poetic and conceptual investigation of visual non-sequiturs, disjunctions and humorous absurdities. Bringing together a newly commissioned body of scholarship with reprints of important historical texts, The Last Picture Show seeks to define the legacy that has produced a rich body of photographic practice in the art world today.

This monograph is unusual in bringing the voices from a wide range of people - writers, curators, gallerists, collectors, colleagues, art critics - who have given way to and influenced the artist's work throughout the years. The concept and layout do not only mirror Buren's artistic structures and aesthetics but also his playful way of thinking by offering fragments of works from specific times and letting the reader collect the final pieces herself. The written contributions will be accompanied by a generous amount of visual material.

Giovanni Anselmo

Emerging out of the Arte Povera movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, the work of Giovanni Anselmo has stood the test of time, and his sculptures have pushed the boundaries of art for more than three decades. Anselmo creates sculpture using a diverse array of materials: stone, wood, earth, cotton and even lettuce, as well as installations using slide projections. His work attempts to resolve the tensions between concepts such as the particular and the infinite, or nature and art, and does so with a remarkable combination of force and delicacy.

Ediciones Polígrafa

Italian edition - Volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra realizzata nel 1989 dalla Galleria Civica di Modena: 96 opere dal 1965 al 1988. Testo di Beatrice Merz. Nota bio-bibliografica di Walter Guadagnini. `Io, il mondo, le cose, la vita, siamo delle situazioni di energia ed il punto è proprio di non cristallizzare tali situazioni, bensì di mantenerle aperte e vive in funzione del nostro vivere. Poiché ad ogni modo di pensare o di essere deve corrispondere un modo di agire, i miei lavori sono veramente la fisicizzazione della forza di un'azione, dell'energia di una situazione o di un evento...` (Giovanni Anselmo)

Hopeful Monsters

This remarkably clever, endearingly sweet book for children brings to life the art of Arte Povera, telling the Tales of Stone and More in short passages that describe the work of artists like Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, and others who use stone, glass, wood, and fabric to create their works of art. It teaches that stones can think, that clothes thrown in a room become a rainbow, and that trees are infinitely more glorious than skyscrapers. The text and pictures will fire the imagination of readers young and old, inspiring them to think of how they can make art in their bedrooms and backyards out of things they find in their houses and neighborhoods.

Stanze #1 Anselmo - Kounellis, è la prima di una serie di mostre che Riso, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia dedica agli artisti che con le loro opere sono presenti nella sua collezione permanente. Il progetto espositivo riflette e rimette in gioco la storia, l'identità e la funzione del museo e persino la natura particolare dei suoi spazi. In questa esposizione Giovanni Anselmo e Jannis Kounellis hanno realizzato delle grandi opere basandosi sul principio dell'accumulazione; un principio che agisce sia all'interno della loro esperienza artistica che in una straordinaria relazione con le sale del museo. Il libro presenta, attraverso una vasta documentazione iconografica, questa particolare esperienza espositiva. Le immagini, e a margine il commento critico, sono il mezzo per reintrodurre una forma narrativa all'interno dell'attuale sistema museo-arte contemporanea.
