Thomas Hirschhorn : Establishing a Critical Corpus

description

Monograph / exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with exhibition held at Swiss Pavilion of the 2011 Venice Biennale, 2011. "Establishing a Critical Corpus is the first theoretical examination of the work of Thomas Hirschhorn (born 1957), in six illustrated essays by authors including scholars Claire Bishop and Hal Foster and the poet Manuel Joseph, providing a variety of angles on Hirschhorn's practice." -- publisher's statement.

"This 'textbook' is a dense, charged, and meaningful book of texts to think about, and which develop different topics about my work in general, a specific part of my work, or issues that extend beyond my work. These texts are the center, the 'hardcore' of the book, with pictures of my work to 'illustrate' each text. This book wants to assert and give form to one of my goals: to establish a 'critical corpus' with my work, through a critical and sovereign approach to art, to an artwork of today, and - in this case - to my artwork. I invited six authors to contribute : Claire Bishop, Seabstian Egenhofer, Hal Foster, Manuel Joseph, Yasmil Raymond, and Marcus Steinweg, because - beside friendship - we have established a critical relationship throughout my work. I love what they are doing and I hold in great esteem their work and their integrity as authors. The Book is published on the occasion of my work 'Crystal of Resistance' at the Swiss Pavilion of the 2011 Venice Biennale." -- Thomas Hirschhorn.
