advent calendar n°14: Yoshimoto Nara

Zwanzig Jahre Punk und Rock'n Roll: Die erste Monografie zu Yoshitomo Naras Oeuvre stellt seine Bilder, Skulpturen, Fotografien und Zeichnungen seit den frühen 1980er Jahren zusammen. Die unbequemen und scheinbar einfachen, aber doch teuflisch frechen Kinderfiguren und Tierdarstellungen sind typisch für sein Werk, mit dem Nara den Verlust der Unschuld in einer postmodernen Welt erkundet. Zugleich sind seine Figuren Symbole einer Rebellion und Zeichen der Coolness für seine Fans rund um den Globus. Nobody's Fool zieht auch Querverbindungen zwischen Naras Werk und Rock und Punk Inspiration und Thema vieler seiner Arbeiten. Mit Leichtigkeit überspringt er die Grenzen zwischen Hochkultur, Alltagskultur und jugendlichen Subkulturen, was ihn zu einem der weltweit populärsten Künstler der zeitgemäßen Spielart der Pop Art macht.

Yoshitomo Nara (geb. 1959) zählt zu den einflussreichsten japanischen Pop-Art- Künstlern der Gegenwart. Er studierte zunächst in Japan an der Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music und von 1988 bis 1993 an der Staatlichen Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Seine Werke werden weltweit in Ausstellungen gezeigt und sind in bedeutenden Sammlungen vertreten. Nara lebt in Tokio.

Denys Wortman's New York: Portrait of the City in the 30s and 40s

Denys Wortman's New York is not only a tribute to Wortman; it is a tribute to New York, the city that sparked Wortman's voracious creative output. From coal cellars to rooftops, from opera houses to boardinghouses, Wortman recorded the sailors, dishwashers, con artists, entertainers, pushcart peddlers, construction workers, musicians, hoboes, society matrons, young mothers, secretaries, and students who collectively made the city what it was and is today.

Denys Wortman (1887-1954) was born in Saugerties, New York. He studied at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, where his classmates included George Bellows, Rockwell Kent, and Edward Hopper. In 1924, he took over the comic feature Metropolitan Movies in the pages of the New York World and found his true passion as a cartoonist.

advent calendar n°7: 'Am falschen Ort'

Brecht Evens: Am falschen Ort

Die Party ist in vollem Gange, aber verdammt, wo bleibt Robbie? Kommt er, kommt er nicht? Alle wollen ihn, alle wissen unglaubliche Dinge über ihn zu erzählen... Ist er so ruhelos, so unfähig sich zu binden, weil seine erste große Liebe von einem Jäger erlegt wurde, der sie irrtümlich für einen Fasan gehalten hat? Oder ist das die tragische Geschichte einer ganz anderen Person?

In "Am falschen Ort" beschäftigt sich Brecht Evens mit zwischenmenschlichen Verhaltensmustern und der Zerbrechlichkeit der Identität. Seine Nachtschwärmer sind charismatisch, chaotisch, hemmungslos. Sie werden zur Farbpalette des Künstlers, verblassen, verschwimmen und verschmelzen schließlich zu einer Geschichte.

REPRODUKT, 176 Seiten, farbig, 26 x 21 cm, Flexcover
