Their works appear not together as a single exhibition, but in scattered locations throughout the extensive grounds of EXPO 2000. The participating artists engage with questions surrounding the role of art in public spaces, the means by which art can assert itself in the midst ..."

"A giant spoon with an enormous red cherry snaking out of the earth, a humongous badminton birdie, an oversized piece of cake, squishy scupltures--these are some of the works for which Claes Oldenburg, the artist who helped redefine sculpture in the 1960s, is best known. However, because they have been less documented, Oldenburg's happenings and performances have not been fully integrated into the critical discourse surrounding his work. ..."

"German artist Leni Hoffmann (born 1962) revisits the potentials of modernist and avant-garde (particularly Russian Constructivist) painting, but using materials such as concrete, ceramic and plastic tarps. Returning to the aspirations of El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko, Hoffmann in turn questions the social neutrality of art, through colorful site-specific installations that extend painting into architectural space and everyday lif ..."
"Born into the semiotic seductions of the 1980s, Scottish painter Lucy McKenzie reworks the iconography of that decade to foster associations between the most unlikely sources--East European propaganda murals, German abstract painting, Cold War imagery, industrial typefaces and 1980s synth-pop. To embellish this wide-ranging lexicon, she often collaborates with fashion designers, musicians and interior designers on works that have been e ..."
"The German Fluxus artist Tomas Schmit worked in actions, concepts, language pieces, texts, books, editions and, especially, the enigmatic, questioning, often humorous drawings gathered in this small, four-decade survey--published one year after the artist's 2006 death in Berlin."
"Kasper Konig, Craigie Horsfield. • mi with the object, because, as she said, it
invites touch, but you can't merely do what you like with it. It has a life of its own. It
was this that really interested Clark - the contradiction and reciprocity between
self and other, subject and object. Clark left the conventional art scene after her
early work in the kinetic mode. She worked with groups of students. Later she

"The last decade of the Cold War era left a legacy greater than legwarmers. Flashback takes a close and critical look at what many see as the decade of painting. Or the decade of the art-market boom. Or as Cindy Sherman once called it, the decade of media criticism. Is it any wonder that what emerges from the diversity of artistic approaches in Flashback is an extraordinarily heterogeneous time, and that in the end the book raises the qu ..."
"In chess, when a pawn reaches the eighth square on the far side of the board, the player can swap it for a piece from his opponent's set. So the pawn--a lowly foot soldier--can transform into a queen, the least powerful figure can transform into the epitome of power, and a man can become a woman--just like that. Issues of sexuality are playing out around us all the time, quaking and transmuting under the surface of every family exchange ..."

"This book is the first comprehensive publication on one of the most influential artists of the Fluxus movement. George Brecht is a pioneer of an art that depends completely on the viewer. His works of the 1960s and 70s are 'events works', everyday items arranged by chance, which become an 'event' when the viewer accepts the 'invitation' to interact with them. With his uncompromising stance, which paid little heed to the nature and deali ..."
