Description
Although the end of painting has been evoked many times since the advent of modernism, the medium has experienced a vigorous comeback in the last few years. "Space Invaders: A Discussion About Painting, Space, and its Hybrids" concentrates on spatial concepts in contemporary painting, scrutinizing its conventional boundaries, and going beyond this. With both a conceptual and real involvement in the capture of space, painting emphasizes the possibilities of reflecting itself and its condition, and explores new territories. * * The publication includes interviews with artists as John Armleder, Gerwald Rockenschaub, and Toby Paterson, essays by international art historians and critics such as Joshua Decter and Michel Gauthier. * * With works by John Armleder, Stéphane Calais, Stéphane Dafflon, Dominique Figarella, Shaun Gladwell, Lori Hersberger, Renée Levi, Toby Paterson, and Gerwald Rockenschaub. * * "Space Invaders" is an essential contribution to comprehension of new possibilities of painting. * * Published with the Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel.
