• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Catalog for an exhibition of Matthew Metzgerâ¿s paintings at the Renaissance Society.   Published on the occasion of Matthew Metzgerâ¿s exhibition Heirloom at the Renaissance Society, this is the first book dedicated to the artistâ¿s paintings, which echo and explore various kinds of abstraction. Anchored by the new paintings Metzger made for this exhibitionâ¿a set of works conceived as an installation for the Renaissance Societyâ¿s space that also serve as the subject of an essay by curator Karsten Lundâ¿the book also features four other series of paintings by the artist, each of which further charts his evolving aesthetic and conceptual strategies.   For this publication, Metzger has also invited six writersâ¿including Kris Cohen, Fumi Okiji, Hamza Walker, Jan Verwoert, and Anna Zettâ¿to reflect on how abstraction functions more broadly, whether as a psychological tendency, a social phenomenon, or a technological side effect, among many other possibilities.
