Made in Germany: Young Contemporary Art from Germany
Text by Martin Engler.
Published by Hatje Cantz
This comprehensive overview of current contemporary German art surveys the latest developments in a country not only reunified, east and west, but one with Europe. In recent years, more and more foreign artists have chosen to live and work in Germany. This volume offers a snapshot of their increasingly interdependent ecosystem, where national tradition mingles with cultural exchange. The book doesn't group its 50 featured subjects by region of origin--half are from some kind of international background--or even necessarily by their current homes: it tracks the places where their works have been created, treating artistic production as an outcome of living and working together. Its subjects include a few of the most promising newcomers around, including Candice Breitz, Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset, Sabine Hornig, Bjørn Melhus, Jonathan Monk, Julian Rosefeldt, Florian Slotawa, Simon Starling and Amelie von Wulffen.
