Artificial. Figuracions contemporànies

Richard Artschwagel, John Baldessari, Marie José Burki, Maurizio Cattelan, Jordi Colomer, Thomas Demand, Katharina Fritsch, Féliz González Torres, Stefan Hablützel, Duane Hanson, Damien Hirts, Bertrand Lavier, Mark Lewis, Allan McCollum, Malcolm Morley, Pino Pascali, Charles Ray, Gerard Richter, Thomas Ruff and Andreas Slomiski were among the twenty artists who participated in the exhibition Artificial, which was built around works produced during the second half of the twentieth century. The aim of the project was to connect two clearly distinct moments in history in order to reveal some of their underlying ideas and promote a questioning of the museum institution. The catalogue analyses the representative function of the outside world and the precedence of object over subject.
