New York, Guggenheim Museum, 2008. Hardcover. White boards, 256 pp. illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2008-2009 exhibition. "During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. For these artists an exhibition can comprise a film, a novel, a shared meal, a social space, a performance or a journey. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the U.S. to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists -- Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Holler, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija -- a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landscape of the 1990s and beyond." (publisher) With a plethora of illustrative essays. As New (shrinkwrapped) .
