6 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS FROM KOREA.

Author: Hansen, Mikael and Iben From, eds
Year: 2005
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

The show intends partly to take part in globalisation and partly to limit the focus to visual arts and the plethora it represents. The exhibition accomplishes this by presenting six selected artists, all Korean residents, and thus in a Danish perspective providing the Danish audience with an opportunity of experiencing how a group of contemporary Korean visual artists work. The artists utilize an international form language in installations, conceptual art, and videos while at the same time researching into developing and refining these expressions.

–IJER, MAYA EIZIN.

Author: Zeipel, Agneta Von, ed
Year: 2004
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

A major figure on the art scene in Sweden ever since the 1970s, the world of images she uses are instantly fascinating whether it be mixed media on canvas or photography. The bright red contrasting the color black, a sublime and subversive vocabulary of images characterized by desire, corruption, dreams and shadowy landscapes. The aim of the book is to document her extensive oeuvre from the 1970s right up to her most recent paintings from 2004 in both words and pictures. Essays by Lars O. Ericsson, Jan-Erik Lundstrm and John Peter Nilsson approach Maya’s work from different angles, offering readers a comprehensive view. Her work is very up-to-date and has a sense of sophistication.

AF KLINT, HILMA: I DESCRIBE THE WAY AND MEANWHILE I AM PROCEEDING ALONG IT. A Short Introduction on Method and Intention in Hilma af Klint’s Work from as Esoteric Perspective

Author: Lindén, Gurli
Year: 1998
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a progressive and spiritualist painter and a pioneer among women artists. She regarded herself to to be a disciple of “High Masters” from another dimension, and she expressed in her painting what she understood as her dialogue with the movements of Theosophy and Rosicrucianism. She was also a student of Rudolph Steiner’s teachings. Her work ranges from the colorful, geometrical style of early modernism, to excellent portraits, to an abstracted fantasy world reminiscent of Klimt. This short monograph contains a biographical essay presenting her ideas, her reasoning and her ambitions in a most intriguing and concise manner.

AMPHIBIAN STAND, THE. A Philosophical Essay Conerning Research Processes in Fine Art

Author: Nilsson, Per
Year: 2009
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

Per Nilsson was born in Gävle in 1963. During his childhood he moved often and lived from Kiruna in the north to Kristianstad in the south. In 2001 he received his PhD in Philosophy at Umeå University with the thesis “Nature Science and Reason: Dialectic of Enlightenment, and the other modern.” Since 2001 he has worked as a philosopher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Umeå. In his new book, The Amphibian Stand: A Philosophical Essay Concerning Research Processes in Fine Art . Nilsson develops a philosophy of art and relates it to the debate on art and research. He argues that art's critical potential and its dialectical deconstructive approach to including language, norms and philosophy render it suitable as a research discipline. The core of the book is the discourse theory developed by Per's metaphors Ampibian and Littoral landscape of culture, metaphors that point out that our cultures are the illusory positions of dogmatism and relativism. It is in the littoral landscape that the amphibians presented live their lives, well-adapted to their environment.

ANASTASI, WILLIAM. A Retrospective

Author: Delin Hansen, Elisabeth, Christina Helvad, and Iben Overgaard, et al
Year: 2001
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

This retrospective exhibition marks the first large-scale presentation in Scandinavia of works by this important American artist. He employs a wide spectrum of techniques: sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, collage, “sound objects,” incisions into the wall, even paint poured or thrown onto a wall. With a touch of humor, he inserts reality-elements into the artistic context and enlists the aid of randomness as a collaborator. This catalogue also includes key essays that introduce Anastasi’s entire oeuvre and analyse his work from the 1960s.
