Matthew Brannon Ordre des livres (chronologique)

For 20 years, Parkett has explored and discussed significant international contemporary artists through the insights of esteemed writers and critics. Issue No. 73 continues this tradition, featuring collaborations by Paul McCarthy, Ellen Gallagher, and Anri Sala. McCarthy's provocative 1970s performances invite us into the realm of LA-based experimental art, confronting our primal urges and repulsions. Delve into McCarthy's post-pop masquerade to uncover the roots of his unique sensibility. Gallagher's work presents meditative, collaged canvases that tackle sobering race relations with playful elements like toy eyeballs and Mammy-styled lips. Sala, an internationally acclaimed Albanian-born artist, captivates with enigmatic videos and photographs that evoke a sense of déjà vu. His images serve a documentary purpose, showcasing moments like his mother’s interview for the Communist Party and friends on a beach coaxing ghost crabs to "score." Also featured in this issue are artists Jason Dodge, Wangechi Mutu, Tania Bruguera, Lucy McKenzie, Matthew Brannon, and Carsten Nicolai. The writings include contributions from Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, Michelle Cliff, Ben Okri, Lane Relyea, Tim Martin, Jeremy Sigler, Mark Godfrey, Jan Verwoert, Lynne Cooke, Isolde Brielmaier, RoseLee Goldberg, Angela Rosenberg, Dominic von den Boogerd, Debra Singer, Natasa Petresin, and Fabrice Stroun.
