Product description

Die Berggemeinde Amden am Walensee (Schweiz) war bereits Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ein Ort des gesellschaftlichen und künstlerischen Experiments. In den vergangenen 15 Jahre sind viele Künstlerinnen und Künstler eingeladen worden, im Atelier Amden, einer kleinen Scheune, eine Ausstellung zu zeigen oder die gegebene Situation für die Produktion eines Werkes zu nutzen.
Die Ausstellungsreihe im Landschaftsraum von Amden ermöglichte den Künstlern die Realisierung situationsspezifischer Projekte vor Ort und dem Publikum eine individuelle, kontemplative Rezeption der Ausstellungen und Installationen.
Die vorliegende Publikation zeigt alle seit 1999 veranstalteten Ausstellungen und Installationen und beschreibt und diskutiert die einzelnen künstlerischen Projekte. Essays zur Landschaft, zur Scheune und ihrer Neunutzung als Aus-stellungsraum, zum kuratorischen Konzept und dessen Entwicklung in den vergangenen Jahren runden das Werk ab.




The mountain community of Amden am Walensee (Switzerland) was a place of social and artistic experiments as early as the beginning of the 20th century. In the last 15 years, many artists have been invited to exhibit in the Amden Atelier, a small farm, or to use the facilities for the production of a work of art.
This publication includes all exhibitions and installations staged since 1999 and describes and discusses the individual art projects. The work is complemented by essays on the landscape, the place and its change of use to an exhibition space, on the curating concept and its development in recent years.

I really didn't expect to love this as much as I did. The Reactor is, in the most general sense, a memoir that tries to approach grief by relating it to radioactive decay (and particularly the Chernobyl disaster). Studies on grief seem to be a thing right now, and I have to say I tend to be somewhat sceptical about the kind of symbolic generalization that can come with it. However, Blackburn isn't too keen on that either - basically, this book is a perpetual reflection of his inability to actually make sense of anything, least of all the death of his father. This deliberate no-sense-making feels raw, unfinished, like a sketch. In essayistic(ish) fragments, the reader follows Blackburn along an unruly path where the next step is often less determined by cohesive structure than it is by associative references. He never loses his thread, though: this strange kaleidoscopic genre-mix will pull you in like a maelstrom.
This is the most fantastic coloring book I know, and I mean that in both definitions of the word:
1.: extraordinarily good/ attractive.
2.: imaginative/ fanciful; remote from reality.
It usually takes me weeks to complete even one page, but then it makes a wonderful present; especially when appropriately framed!
