Ballerina in a Whirlpool

More about the book

An exhibition catalog of a show focusing on four artists represented in Switzerland s Hauser & Wirth Collection, Isa Genzken, Richard Jackson, Roman Signer and Diana Thater. What are these artists doing together? Despite their various American or European backgrounds, the varied media and lines of inquiry, their works share one formal motif - a circle, circular pattern or rotating movement. Whether this movement is real or implied, possible, inherent in the work or performed by the viewer in space, it s there and brings together this fascinating group of installational works. Perspectives are lost only to be rediscovered, presenting themselves anew and in multiplied form. An exciting collection of work including video, sculpture, painting and photography. Contributions by Michaela Unterdorfer, Karolin Kober, Sabine Sarwa, Fritz Emslander and Barbara Wagner.
