Pre-Specifics: Some Comparatistic Investigations on Research in Design and Art

This publication documents the programs of the Vienna-based Generali Foundation during the last 20 years. It established itself as an internationally distinguished institution for conceptual and critical intermedia art with the scholarly treatment of artists active in the 1960s and 1970s and with frequently discussed exhibitions on current issues. Artists such as VALIE EXPORT, Harun Farocki, Dan Graham, Sanja Ivekovic, Mary Kelly, Edward Krasinski, Gordon Matta-Clark, Gustav Metzger, Walter Pichler or Allan Sekula were widely shown at the Generali Foundation - often for the first time. Works by artists such as Maria Eichhorn, Andrea Fraser, Hans Haacke, Dorit Margreiter, Heimo Zobernig and others were commissioned work by the Generali Foundation. Numerous installation views and texts provide both a review and details of the foundation's comprehensive program. Context and genesis are reflected in the conversation between the foundation's long-time director Sabine Breitwieser and art critic Sabeth Buchmann. English and German text.
