Writings 1953-2016Metzger, GustavBringing together more than 180 texts written between 1953 and 2016, this comprehensive volume establishes artist and activist Gustav Metzger as a towering figure of the 20th century, a long-overdue ... recognition of the artist's influential vision. Renowned for his use of unstable materials and chemical reactions to create artworks that embody processes of change, destruction, and renewal, Metzger was also a prolific writer, theoretician, and satirist. His interest in technology and science lead him to create such concepts as auto-destructive and auto-creative art terms he coined with his manifestos on "Auto-Destructive Art" in 1959 and "Auto-Creative Art" in 1961. He put these ideas into action with artworks made to decay, desintegrate, or change following natural processes. Edited by Gustav's long-time friend and curator Mathieu Copeland, this anthology of writings makes Metzger's key thinking from the 1950s onward available to a wide audience. It includes seminal writings such as his manifestos of auto-destructive and auto-creative art (1959 and 1961), "On Random Activity in Material/Transforming Works of Art" (1964), "The Possibility of Auto-Destructive Architecture" (1966), his inspiring interview with R. Buckminster Fuller from 1970, "The Artist in the Face of Social Collapse" (1998), and his legacy manifesto entitled "Remember Nature" from 2016, as well as art criticism, political satires, and lecture transcriptions. His writing allows a challenging reading of the contemporary (art) period as analyzed by one of its most discerning figures a pioneering artist and thinker involved in environmental and societal issues very early on.Vrsta gradiva - knjiga ; neleposlovje za odrasleZaložništvo in izdelava - Geneva : JRP Editions, cop. 2019Jezik - angleškiISBN -COBISS.SI-ID - 69440515
