CREAMIER
Contemporary Art in Culture
Phaidon Press announce CREAMIER: Contemporary Art in Culture (released June 2010; $59.95), the latest in Phaidon's world renowned Cream series, following Cream (1998), Fresh Cream (2000), Cream 3 (2003) and Ice-Cream (2007).
For each new book 10 prominent international curators are invited to select 100 contemporary artists who they consider to be the most exciting working today. As has been the case with the previous four Cream books, the world will be talking about the artists presented in CREAMIER for years to come.
Innovative design is a key feature of the series, and CREAMIER is no exception. Printed in an unbound, newspaper format and packaged in a luxurious portfolio, CREAMIER presents the latest “art news”. This book will appeal to contemporary art collectors, art lovers, and anyone tuned in to the international contemporary art scene.
From the front page of CREAMIER, the 10 curators discuss the global recession and how it has affected the market and artistic practice. The conversation offers an intriguing variety of perspectives, with curators from a variety of international leading arts organisations such as Tate Modern, London, MACBA, Barcelona and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Overall, the conversation, which also explores the selection process for the book, is optimistic and serves as an enticing introduction to the 100 featured artists.
There are no limitations on age, geography or medium when it comes to the artists chosen for inclusion in CREAMIER. For example, Anna Molska (b. 1983), born in Prudnik and living in Warsaw, Poland features alongside Rubens Mano (b. 1960) who was born and still lives in São Paulo, Brazil. In terms of media, the spectrum is also wide, ranging from video artists, painters and sculptors to performance and installation artists.
There are even artists who use socks, shoe racks and silver tinsel for example in Haegue Yang’s Series of Vulnerable Arrangements - Domestics of Community (2009) and bread in Tonico Lemos Auad’s Pigeon Portrait/Amada (2008).
