Lucy McKenzie works in her native Glasgow, but also shows regularly in London, where she recently lured the artist Paulina Olowska from Poland for a collaborative performance called Hold the Color. The film of their performance, Oblique Composition, was later shown at the Tate Modern. In both, the artists enact what the Tate calls, "the caricatured roles of 'working women'," with McKenzie playing an artist and Olowska an architect. As McKenzie begins to draw a portrait of Olowska, she changes the scene entirely, recreating Olowska as an object and allowing the audience to watch and judge a developing work. Olowska's work has appeared at the 2003 Venice Biennale and in shows at Marc Foxx in Los Angeles and the Sculpture Center in New York; McKenzie's work has been shown at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and in solo shows at Metro Pictures, New York, and the ICA in Boston.

Sammlung Goetz

The sixth and final volume of the Imagination Becomes Reality series, featuring works from the renowned Goetz Collection in Munich, includes a selection of works by 50 of the most interesting and relevant artists of our day, all of whom expand on the discourse of painting without ever being limited to one medium. Ingvild Goetz remarks: "Many artists expand the medium of painting in sculpture, photography and video; that is, they 'paint' on different surfaces, whereas conversely, painters often first generate their pictures on computers to then ultimately transfer them to canvas." This volume collects key works by Franz Ackermann, Olaf Breuning, James Casebere, Peter Doig, Inka Essenhigh, Barnaby Furnas, Wade Guyton/Kelley Walker, Eberhard Havekost, Lothar Hempel, William Kentridge, Mark Leckey, Loretta Lux, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman, Michael Raedecker, Wilhelm Sasnal, Dana Schutz, Markus Selg, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Hiroshi Sugito, Tal R and Jeff Wall, among others.

Matthew Barney works in film, video, photography, drawing, installation and sculpture, as well as sound. This catalogue, produced in collaboration with the artist, documents works from the world-famous Goetz Collection in Munich--spanning from early sculptural and performance pieces beginning in 1992 through the artist's most recent work in digital media. As in his 2003 retrospective at New York's Guggenheim Museum, Barney's Goetz Collection exhibition presents all five Cremaster films, with sound, simultaneously, thus turning the series into an installation that addresses all of the human senses. This volume contains an introductory essay by Stephan Urbaschek; a text on the use of sound in Barney's work by Brandon Stosuy; interviews with the artist and his composer, Jonathan Bepler; a text on Cremaster 1 through 5 by Domenika Szope; a summary of Drawing Restraint 9 and a glossary by Karsten Löckemann; and a select bibliography and exhibition checklist by Katharina Vossenkuhl.

Featuring interviews with, and artwork by, such hot British artists as Mona Hatoum, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rachel Whiteread, Willie Doherty, Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon, Abigail Lane, Angela Bulloch and Sarah Lucas, Art from the UK documents an exhibition at the Goetz Collection in Munich. The Goetz Collection is one of the most important collections devoted solely to contemporary art, and is housed in its own small private museum, designed by renowned Swiss architects Herzog &amp; de Meuron. The works presented here exemplify the Goetz Collection's dedication to innovative art--from Mona Hatoum's surprising and complex mixture of media, to Rachel Whiteread's inverted spaces, to Sam Taylor-Wood's explorations of the erotic entanglements of people in closed spaces. The interviews offer a tremendous insight into the changing creative processes and aesthetic philosophies of this new wave of British artists.

This volume considers the work of Mike Kelley alongside the collaborations of Peter Fischli and David Weiss. Kelley's works are firmly anchored in an ironic, detached attitude towards his Irish Catholic upbringing; he makes use of the pictorial language of specific subcultures and the aesthetics of 'low culture,' to probe such concerns as the representation of childhood and the social construction of sexual behavior and cultural identification. Peter Fischli and David Weiss have been making art together since 1979, addressing various theoretical and philosophical explanations of the world with their subtle and humorous manipulations of common objects. The work of the American Kelley and the Swiss Fischli and Weiss resonate with each other in curious ways, most significantly in their exploration of everyday consciousness and 'low' materials. This publication documents the work of Peter Fischli and David Weiss in the Goetz Collection during a recent exhibition, along with interviews, essays and two texts by Kelley himself.

This new catalogue documents a current exhibition of works by German artist Thomas Schütte at the Goetz Collection in Munich, and features over 60 full-color reproductions of his work. Schütte's work in various media, including sculpture and installation, has gained increasing recognition Stateside over the past few years, after impressing audiences and critics in Europe. In addition to Schütte's works, there are several illuminating essays on the artist's oeuvre: Cay Sophie Rabinowitch focuses on Schütte's work from the past five years, particularly his large-scale sculptures of nude women; Jan Avgikos discusses the reception of Schütte's work in the United States; Robert Fleck places Schütte's work in the context of contemporary European art; and Rainald Schumacher documents the exhibition history of the works presented in the catalogue, and explores their connection to other works by Schütte.

Rosemarie Trockel

When Rosemarie Trockel emerged in the early 1980s as a principal figure in the German art scene, a member of the generation that followed Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter and Georg Baselitz, she was almost alone in addressing feminist issues and sexuality. Her pictures, made from machine-knitted wool and patterned with consumerist and political icons, challenged the privileged status of the male-dominated province of painting as high art, and exposed the emptiness of the icons that decorate our everyday lives.

As a young artist living in New York, Andrea Zittel started to design furniture that satisfied her needs and desires and saved space. In search for organization systems in all areas of life, she acts as a researcher, test person, inventor and fabricator efficiently rolled up into one, producing objects, dwelling units and clothing. Zittel founded A-Z Administrative Services in 1992 as a laboratory, shop, conceptual organization, apartment and office founded on the idea that a person's possessions and living conditions can influence their views and behavior, and since then has created Personal Panels, Cover, Dining Room Carpet, Perfected Pillow, Carpet Bed, Chamber Pot, Dishless Dining Table and many other works that accommodate her psychological and social needs. This publication looks at her production over the last decade and includes the A-Z Cellular Compartment Units Customized by Sammlung Goetz, a 6-compartment living unit designed specifically for the needs of the Goetz Collection.
