Michalis Pichler ed. Annette Gilbert and Clemens Krümmel

A cross-reference book of information on aesthetic boundaries, consisting of a bibliography into which inserted text, critical essays, art works, and documents, are arranged chronologically and focused on a selection of so-called »greatest hits« and conceptual poetics. It contains mentions of such vaguely designated areas as appropriation, postnaive, unboring boring, détournement, object perdu, and erasure poetry — or writing through — as they currently occur (with occasional political overtones) in the work of Michalis Pichler.

This bilingual monograph is focused on the practice of artist/author Michalis Pichler. Featuring eleven critical essays, an extensively illustrated catalogue, a conversation with John Stezaker, and selected writings by the artist, the book delivers a solid introduction into conceptual poetics.

Trece años: la materialización de ideas de 2002 a 2015: un libro de referencias cruzadas e información acerca de algunos límites estéticos: compuesto por una bibliografía a la que se le insertan textos, ensayos críticos, obras de arte y documentos ordenados cronológicamente y centrado en los llamados “greatest hits” y en la poética conceptual, con menciones a áreas vagamente definidas como apropiación, bibliofagia, post naive, aburrimiento entretenido, détournement, objet perdu, borrado de poesía o escritura transversal, ocurriendo ahora en el obra de Michalis Pichler (con connotaciones políticas ocasionales), editado por Annette Gilbert y Clemens Krümmel.
