Reciprocity

Más información sobre el libro

Two exhibitions at Galerie Stadtpark with François Morellet and Manuel Knapp and with Jessica Stockholder, David Hanvald, and Priscila Fernandes continue the line of the earlier program of curatorial juxtapositions of current, contemporary positions with establishes ones (earlier iterations included Fred Sandback, Franz Erhard Walther, and Bill Bollinger). The novelty of this catalog and the exhibitions from 2014 to 2016 that it presents is that it includes the solo exhibitions of contemporary, already canonized artists such as Dóra Maurer and Maria Lai, which deliberately exclusively focus on early works in the spirit of a snapshot in time. Reciprocity—and this renders the title programmatic—aims to show the possible interrelationships of the works, less in the sense of closed entities or in the context of each individual exhibition than that of aesthetic practices. This book therefore offers a space of interpictorial and intermedial ramifications where aesthetic, epistemic, and discursive interferences become manifest.
