Published on the occasion of the exhibition Iconoclash, Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion and Art, held at ZKM, Karlsruhe, 4 May-4 August 2002 - MIT Press / ZKM: Center for Art and Media
It explores how images have assumed the role of cultural weapons in monotheistic religions, scientific theories, and contemporary arts.
The exhibit aims to display, in a systematic confrontation, three great clashes about representation - about its necessity, sanctity, and power - in the domains of science, art, and religion. Image wars are everywhere, from the Taliban destruction of the Buddhas to the doubts about scientific imagery, through the debunking of media powerful manipulations. The book includes major works by Art & Language, Willi Baumeister, Christian Boltanski, Daniel Buren, Lucas Cranach, Max Dean, Marcel Duchamp, Albrecht Dürer, Lucio Fontana, Francisco Goya, Hans Haacke, Richard Hamilton, Young Hay, Arata Isozaki, Asger Jorn, Martin Kippenberger, Imi Knoebel, Komar & Melamid, Joseph Kosuth, Gordon Matta-Clark, Tracey Moffatt, Nam June Paik, Sigmar Polke, Stephen Prina, Man Ray, Sophie Ristelhueber & Hiroshi SugimotoModerate cover wear, 28x22x3.5cm, 703 pages, ill., includes index, biographies and list of works in the exhibition.
