Description
Dieser Band untersucht Simon Dennys Metaverse Landscapes, seine Gemäldeserie, die Grundstücke in digitalen Welten darstellen. Sie enthüllen historische Resonanzen zwischen Territorium, Abstraktion und Finanzialisierung - in einer neuen Art von Landschaftsmalerei.
Landscapes vereint detaillierte Reproduktionen der Gemälde, Ausstellungsdokumentationen aus dem Kunstverein Hannover und dem Frans Masereel Centrum (Belgien) sowie Kommentare prominenter Autoren wie Christina Barton, Adina Glickstein, Martin Herbert, Omar Kholeif und Fred Turner.
"Even as they depict various kinds of digital real estate in naturalistic detail, Denny's paintings revel in the ways that digital technologies dissolve the material world into bits and bytes." Fred Turner
"It's almost as if the virtual is coming to attack me somehow or coming to inform me that I am not paying attention." Omar Kholeif
"Denny exploits the tension between material objects and abstract signs, actual and depicted spaces, imagined worlds and real places, to show us the illusion, the promise, the dream, and then to bring it down to earth, render it crude and transient." Christina Barton
