Since its inception in 1998, the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art has become one of the most important events of contemporary art worldwide. 2014 marks the 8th Biennale, and supplementing the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art Guidebook is the Berlin Biennale 8: Excursus. In contrast to a classical exhibition catalogue, the aim of this exclusively image-based publication is to function as an additional print venue of the 8th Berlin Biennale. Each participating artist was invited to submit an original visual proposal covering up to four pages with various format options; creations from famed contemporary artists such as Anri Sala, Jimmy Robert, Wolfgang Tillmans, Carlos Amorales, Rosa Barba, Carsten Höller, Olaf Nicolai, Jimmie Durham, Monica Bonvicini, Tacita Dean, Angela Bulloch and Glenn Ligon fill the pages. Excursus reaches beyond the immediate domain of the 8th Berlin Biennale―those who cannot attend the experimental context-specific exhibition can still own this unique art object compiling works from key players in today's art world. 自1998年创办以来,柏林当代艺术双年展已经成为全球当代艺术最重要的活动之一。2014年是第八届双年展,补充第八届柏林双年展当代艺术指南的是柏林双年展8: Excursus。与经典展览目录不同,这份完全基于图像的出版物旨在作为第八届柏林双年展的额外印刷场所。每位参赛艺术家都被邀请提交一份涵盖多达四页的原创视觉提案,并提供各种格式选项;当代著名艺术家如安利·萨拉、吉米·罗伯特、沃夫冈·提尔门斯、卡洛斯·阿莫拉莱斯、罗莎·巴尔巴、卡斯滕·赫勒、奥拉夫·尼古拉、吉米·达勒姆、莫妮卡·邦维奇尼、塔西塔·迪恩、安吉拉·布洛克和格伦·利贡的作品占据了整个版面。Excursus超越了第八届柏林双年展的直接领域――那些不能参加实验性的特定背景展览的人仍然可以拥有这个独特的艺术对象,汇集了当今艺术界主要参与者的作品。 Product details Publisher : Hatje Cantz (November 30, 2014) Language : English Paperback : 284 pages ISBN-10 : 3775738762 ISBN-13 : 978-3775738767 Item Weight : 3.26 pounds Dimensions : 8.7 x 1 x 12.5 inches
