Exhibition catalogues & specific collections

This volume is published to mark the 40th anniversary of the artists' collective Rrose Irwin Sélavy and to accompany the exhibition at HMKV Dortmund. Since 1983, IRWIN has been investigating the art history of Eastern Europe, especially the ambivalent legacy of the historical avant-garde and its totalitarian successors, i.e. the dialectic of avant-garde and totalitarianism. Since the 1990s, the focus of the group has been on challenging the art history of Western Modernism in a critical and iconoclastic way. The artists playfully and darkly contrast it with the retro avant-garde and an Eastern Modernism.

The book, which can be read from both sides, is made up of two parts: the first chapter explores the black humour that is a consistent element in IRWIN's work. The second chapter examines issues relating to the state and how IRWIN uses them to comment on current topics such as migration.

Text in English and German.
