HANS HAACKE
edited by Rachel Churner
For five decades, the artist Hans Haacke (b. 1936) has created works that explore the social, political, and economic underpinnings of the production of art and the system of exchange between museums and corporations. His works make plain the hidden and not-so-hidden agendas of those from Cartier to David Koch—who support art in the service of industry; his work also exposes such inconvenient social and economic truths as the real estate holdings of Manhattan slumlords and the attempts to whitewash support for the Nazi regime, apartheid, or the war on terror through museum donations.
This book gathers interviews, difficult-to-find essays, cornerstones of institutional critique, and new critical approaches by writers Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Jack Burnham, Rosalyn Deutsche, Leo Steinberg, and others. Haacke's 1971 Guggenheim exhibition was famously canceled when the artist refused to withdraw several proposed works, including one exposing the business dealings of a Manhattan real estate com-pany. This volume includes curator Edward Fry's long-suppressed catalog text for that show (for which he was fired), as well as Walter Grasskamp's "An Unpublished Text for an Unpainted Picture,
redacted from an exhibition catalog in 1984 because of
statements about the German collector Peter Ludwig. Other essays consider such topics as Haacke's controversial commission for the Reichstag; the activation of the spec-tator, from Condensation Cube to the Polls; the conceptual continuity of his practice with regard to General Systems Theory; and his delayed and problematic reception in both the United States and Europe. With contemporary essays and scholarly reas-sessments, this collection serves as an essential guide to critical thinking on Haacke's artistic practice, from the works of the 1960s that engage with physical and biological systems to his later interrogations of the social and economic underpinnings of art.
Rachel Churner is a writer, curator, and doctoral candidate in Art History at Columbia University. From 2011 to 2014, she owned and operated the New York gallery Churner and Churner.
