Bøker av Tiane Doan Na Champassak

In this new publication, Tiane Doan na Champassak works on his own collection of Parkett, a seminal art magazine issued between 1984 and 2017. His subtle approach consists of isolating a considerable amount of double-spreads displaying gallery advertisements, all from the first five years of Parkett. Coherent in style and form, these ads are works of art in their own right, reflecting the supremacy of text over image in the conceptual production of those years. In their simple yet sophisticated appeal, they trace an alternative history of postmodern and contemporary art, marking the recurrence of certain artists - such as Marcel Broodthaers, Michael Heizer, Louise Bourgeois, Ed Ruscha, Richard Prince, Anish Kapoor, and Cindy Sherman, among many others - in the galleries' landscape of the 1980s.
