Real Nazis - Piotr Uklanksi - Bog - Edition Patrick Frey - Plusbog.dk

Real Nazis - Piotr Uklanksi - Bog - Edition Patrick Frey - Plusbog.dk

Glamorous impersonations of evil: In the fall of 1999 Edition Patrick Frey published The Nazis, which soon became a legendary cult book. It has long since been out of print and remains highly coveted to this day. While The Nazis showed stills of actors playing Nazis in various Hollywood movies, Polish artist Piotr Uklanksi has now juxtaposed them with the real thing: Nazi party bigwigs, decorated “war heroes” and war criminals. Painstakingly culled from a great many different archives, this follow-up compilation superimposes fact on fiction, the stagey, propagandistic imagery of the Third Reich on the mockup Nazi iconography of Hollywood, revealing an uncanny, even spooky, resemblance between the play-acting and real-life exponents of evil. Real Nazis, using the same format and production values as its predecessor, is the “real” brother that now seems an ugly reflection of that “glamorous” artist’s book The Nazis. So who are the “real” Nazis in this picture puzzle? What qualifies as constituting a bona fide Nazi? Which pictures are “real” and which are “fake”? All of them? None of them?This play of mirrors serves as a radical commentary on our alarming present condition, in which the lines between populist and fascistic politics are increasingly blurring. Then as now: “Beneath all the insignia and accoutrements of evil lurks the iconography of media kitsch and ridicule. It’s all about the power of costumes and the costumes of power, about the glamour of evil, the glistening shine of fake medals made of fake gold. ” Uklanski’s Real Nazis is coming out on the occasion of the opening of the Documenta 14 on June 7, 2017 in Kassel, Germany.

Orlando - Klodin Erb - Bog - Edition Patrick Frey - Plusbog.dk

Klodin Erb’s Orlando series is based on the eponymous novel by Virginia Woolf, in which a poet lives for over five centuries and mysteriously changes sex. So far the series comprises nearly two hundred mostly small painted portraits in a wide range of different styles. The subjects are male, female or of undefined gender. The series is, on the one hand, a study in portrait painting that also explores “the history of art and the time inherent in and associated with it”, as the artist explains. It’s also an investigation of her own identity as a painter, on the other hand. “The sheer quantity of images makes it possible to immerse oneself, even lose oneself, in the faces,” writes Erb, “transforming the viewer into a universal being in a timeless existence. ” Paradigms of demarcation and identification are dissolved as a result and reworked into a larger context (I am many, I am you, etc. ). Klodin Erb’s artistic exploration of identity was fleshed out during a conversation over dinner in a pavilion by Lake Zurich. The object of this event was to dispense with everyday egos by donning costumes and make-up and, in the experimental setting of a performance-art dinner, tap into a meta-ego in order to discuss the themes of the Orlando series: identity, gender and role models, the construct of time, ageing and the longing for eternal life/youth, humanoids and artificial intelligence, the last human. The transcript of this conversation runs through the book and ties it all together. With an interview between the artist and Kathleen Bühler, Jacqueline Burckhardt, Finn Canonica, Gregory Hari, Susanna Koeberle, Nina Kunz, Katarina Lang, Chris Luebkeman, and Romeo Koyote Rosen.
