Raleigh, NC, and Munich, Germany: North Carolina Museum of Art; Prestel, 2003. Cloth, xix, 220 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm. Exhibition held November 2, 2003 to March 7, 2004. BRAND NEW. A fine copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The North Carolina Museum of Art and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina launched the nation's most ambitious contemporary art exhibition celebrating the centennial of powered flight. Defying Gravity: Contemporary Art and Flight presents approximately 91 major works and several special commissions derived from the interaction between aviation and the imagination and exploring the human desire to fly.Works included in Defying Gravity were created during the last quarter of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st, and span a diverse range of styles, approaches and media, including painting, sculpture, installations, photography, video and film. Artists featured in the show range from American masters Jonathan Borofsky, Roger Brown, James Rosenquist, Frank Stella and Wayne Thiebaud to international art figures such as Alighiero Boetti, Andreas Gursky, Malcolm Morley and Panamarenko, and to young masters and emerging artists including Lawrence Gipe, Margot Gran, Vera Lutter and Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. Also featured are several artists with North Carolina connections, such as Brent Cole, Kara Hammond, Marvin Jensen and Michael A. Salter. While straightforward imagery of the airplane is represented in the show, the exhibition also investigates aviation's wide-ranging symbolic implications. For instance, a plane can be a source of anxiety and fear, as revealed in such works as Exploding Plane by Heide Fasnacht and a modern-day Saint Sebastian - an airman whose body is pierced by airplanes rather than arrows - by the late Michael Richards, an artist killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center. It can also triumphantly be a symbol for creativity and transcendence, as in Rosemary Laing's color photographs of an effervescent human figure, reveling in being airborne as seen in the picture above. Man's personal desire to fly is also explored with a video of a self-propelled flight over Greenland by Simone Aaberg Kærn and works by Jamaica-born Albert Chong and North Carolina resident Hoss Haley, who were each inspired by the myth of Icarus and Daedalus. Flight's effect on artistic perspective can be detected in aerial views such as Ed Ruscha's maplike painting of Los Angeles streets and in the video component of Brent Cole's installation, which simulates flight by taking viewers on a virtual journey through the Museum, out the door and around the grounds. And equally engaging perspectives can be found at airports themselves: striking, large color photographs taken from inside airport terminals by the Swiss team of Peter Fischli and David Weiss will be joined by John Schabel's photographs, taken from the tarmac, of passengers seen through plane porthole windows and by Leo Rubinfien's views of passengers taken aloft. Additionally, several artists use actual airplane parts and materials to create art, including Donald Lipski, who draws materials from the salvage yard of Grumman Aero-space Corporation, and Mark Newson, who uses the aluminum and rivets more commonly associated with a fuselage to construct futuristic furniture. And Chilean Eugenio Dittborn uses the airplane in a much different manner - folding each of his paintings to fit into an envelope and sending them around the world via airmail, a practice he began in the mid-1980s to circumvent the censorship of the Augusto Pinochet regime and the resulting cultural boycott. Two paintings, each with its envelope detailing the work's itinerary, will be on view. The Museum has commissioned several pieces specifically for the exhibition." - Publisher.

XIX, 220 S. Mit zahlr., auch farb. Abb., Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag. Vom Vorbesitzer mit Mängelstempel auf Fussschnitt erworben. - The centenary of the Wright brothers' outlandish feat prompted the North Carolina Museum of Art to organize an exhibition celebrating their creativity. The show and this accompanying, fully illustrated publication show how the human obsession with flight has provided fertile ground for contemporary artists working in disparate media. Nearly as long as human beings have contemplated the stars, they have nurtured a wish to fly. Since the Wrights' success at Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903, the dreams continue; they expand, double back, and soar. The Wrights' daring invention radically revised everyday life-its pleasures and perils-and altered visual perspective. Defying Gravity brings together a ravishing array of work created in the last quarter century that demonstrates the role flight plays in contemporary art- and its significance as metaphor for self-fulfillment and transformation. Works by artists ranging from Panamarenko and Malcolm Morley to Albert Chong and Vera Lutter illustrate the protean response flight has engendered. The exhibition notes the paradoxical gifts of technology and the psychic benefits of fantasy concoctions (hybrids merging man, machine, and natural fliers like birds, bats, and butterflies). The social commentary of Roger Brown and Phong Nguyen and the revealing neutrality of Fischli and Weiss coexist with the laconic wisdom of Ed Ruscha and the sleek abstractions of James Rosenquist in this ecumenical study of the impact of aviation on modern society and the new vantage point it literally and figuratively makes possible. Variously inspired-by the Wrights or Icarus or terrifying bombing-the contemporary works of art in Defying Gravity are touching or disquieting, comical or dream-inducing. Together with commentary by the curators-including entries on each of the fifty-six artists in the exhibition-and essays and a chronology providing historical context, this book leads to an understanding of the impulse to defy limitation, and of the wrenching and awe-inspiring results that impulse can yield.
