{"product_id":"liz-magor","title":"LIZ MAGOR, 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her native Canada and beyond, the artist Liz Magor (b. 1948) is regarded as one of the most influential contemporary sculptors; the oeuvre she has built since the 1970s has guided an entire generation of younger artists. Her art investigates the culture of production and value and the associated ambivalent relationship humans have with consumer goods. The retrospective focuses on sculptures and installations the artist created in her studio in Vancouver over the past three decades. Composed of found everyday objects, her allegorical tableaus question idealized notions of nature embedded in modern culture and penetrate the psychology of desire and addiction. From an art-historical perspective, Liz Magor’s decades-long engagement with the world of material things and their resonance has led her to stake out a highly idiosyncratic position. Presented casually, without pedestals, her meticulously finished sculptures are defined by a profoundly affecting physicality. In light of the recent “material turn” in the work of younger artists, but also in the humanities and cultural studies, Magor’s art speaks forcefully to contemporary concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by\u003cbr\u003eDan Adler\u003cbr\u003eLesley Johnstone\u003cbr\u003eHeike Munder\u003cbr\u003eBettina Steinbrügge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor(s)\u003cbr\u003eDan Adler\u003cbr\u003eIan Carr-Harris\u003cbr\u003eGéraldine Gourbe\u003cbr\u003eLesley Johnstone\u003cbr\u003eTrevor Mahovsky\u003cbr\u003eHeike Munder\u003cbr\u003eIsabelle Pauwels\u003cbr\u003eChris Sharp\u003cbr\u003eBettina Steinbrügge\u003cbr\u003eCorin Sworn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerman\/ English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-3-03764-474-4\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 2017\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 208x275 mm\u003cbr\u003e256 pages\u003cbr\u003eImages: 200 color\u003cbr\u003eDesign: makara, Marc-André Roy\u003cbr\u003ePublished by JRP|Ringier with the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and the Kunstverein Hamburg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17161296445491,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/3434\/7315\/files\/Kat_Ausst_LizMagor_Page_01.jpg?v=1779094798","url":"https:\/\/shop.migrosmuseum.ch\/en\/products\/liz-magor","provider":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
