Michael Asher
BücherAngebote / Angebote:
Michael Asher (born in 1943), one of the foremost installation artists of the Conceptual art period, is a founder of site-specific practice. Considered a progenitor of institutional critique, he spearheaded the creation of artworks imbued with a self-conscious awareness of their dependence on the conditions of their exhibition context. In the work Kunsthalle Bern 1992, Asher removed the radiators from all the museum¿s exhibition spaces and reassembled them in its entryway gallery. This ¿displacement of givens¿ offers a perfect example of site-specific practice, one that took the gallery space and the institution itself as its subject. In this detailed examination of Kunsthalle Bern 1992, Anne Rorimer considers the work in the context of Asher¿s ongoing desire to fuse art with the material, economic, and social conditions of institutional presentation.
