Kristján Guðmundsson (born 1941) is a contemporary Icelandic conceptual artist. He started his career as an artist in the 1960s as a member of SÚM – a group of young artists influenced by then-new currents in conceptual and installation art. Guðmundsson’s art reflects both prevailing traditions in late 20th century western art in general, and the dominance of abstract and conceptual art in the post-war art of Iceland in particular. He has said, “I am trying to work within the field of tension that exists between nothing and something”.

Produced on the occasion of Gerhard Rühm’s exhibition Liederbilder Klangkörper Scherenschnitte at
Galerie beim Steinernen Kreuz Brigitte Seinsoth, Bremen, 19 May–26 June, 1992.

Gerhard Rühm is noted for his work in acoustic art, including sound poetry, spoken word, and photomontage. In the early 1950s he developed a body of work, crossing the boundaries between many different mediums. He also experimented in drawing, visual poetry, and photomontage, using such diverse techniques as overpainting (l’essentiel de la grammaire [The Essentials of Grammar], 1962) and collage (Typocollagen [Type Collage], 1955–1963).

This first monograph on Ei Arakawa allows a profound understanding of Arakawas complex artistic practice in general: on behalf of Illustrations, performance scripts, notes, and sketches it unfolds a kind of archive along the performances as well as the performance people the artist has worked with over the past ten years.

With texts from Ei Arakawa, Eva Birkenstock, Sarah Chow, John Kelsey, Jutta Koether, Erika Lindström & Reiko Tomii. Reiko Tomii’s talk on Ei Arakawa can be seen here.
