Family, kin, clan, clique, coterie, fandom, elective affinity, alliance, collaboration, network. These forms of social structures are reflected in the materials assembled in this catalogue: invitation cards, flyers, fanzines, journals, and texts from the 1990s and 2000s. Documents that are arranged chronologically on a timeline provide an insight into the developments of visual art at that time in Cologne and New York. Selected historical essays and reviews reflect virulent theoretical debates; interspersed data point to socio-political events and influential exhibitions. The catalogue accompanies the exhibition of the Schröder Donation with works by Kai Althoff, Cosima von Bonin, KP Brehmer, Tom Burr, Lukas Duwenhögger, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Renée Green, Ull Hohn, Hilary Lloyd, Lucy McKenzie, Christian Philipp Müller, Nils Norman, Stephen Prina, and Danh Vo.
Jana Euler’s artistic practice is stylistically varied, at the same time critically incisive, direct and witty, sometimes even silly, always attuned to the social and material bases of her chosen medium. This richly illustrated monograph highlights Euler’s unique approach to producing exhibitions, which the artist has likened to a kind of “body, made up of all the parts that go into the different aspects of exhibiting.” Exhibitionism traces her evolving practice through her own memories and studio archive: surfacing invitation cards, exhibition texts, posters and diagrams, alongside new drawings and collages made especially for the book.

Invitation card produced on the occasion of Ken Price’s exhibition at Frank Lloyd Gallery, Santa Monica, 26 September–10 November.
For over 50 years, Ken Price produced small-scale, brightly colored ceramic sculptures with exquisitely worked glazed and painted surfaces in which he achieved a balance between form and surface. In recent years, Price began making works in much larger sizes. His youthful experiences as a surfer in Los Angeles greatly influenced his art, which he explained as the manifestation of that which he found pleasurable.
