Documenting Fischli and Guyton's exhibition-dialogue intertwining sculptures by Fischli & Weiss with Wade Guyton worksThis publication accompanies a 2017 collaboration at the Aspen Art Museum between Swiss artists Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), known during their 33-year collaboration as Fischli and Weiss, and American artist Wade Guyton (born 1972). In this unprecedented exhibition, Fischli and Guyton worked with Heidi Zuckerman, the AAM's Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, to curate a show that intertwines older works of Guyton and Fischli and Weiss as well as incorporates new pieces. Most prominent are Fischli and Guyton's wall sculptures--placed in various spaces around the museum, outside and within the galleries--and interspersed among and placed in relation to these collaborative sculptures are significant pieces, from Guyton's as well as Fischli and his late collaborator David Weiss' respective practices.

"This publication accompanies the exhibition A Fragile But Marvelous Life, curated by Courtenay Finn and on view at the Aspen Art Museum, November 20, 2015-February 7, 2016."

This monograph, published on the occasion of the Aspen Art Museum exhibition of Rodney McMillian, showcases a comprehensive survey of the artist's paintings, a section of his practice also encompassing sculpture, installation and performance. Incorporating and challenging the notion of art as social and historical critique, the works, essays and interview in this publication examine issues of race, identity and commerce in contemporary society. The book contains images of almost every painting produced by McMillian since, and including, his graduate thesis exhibition, demonstrating a fuller comprehension of the impetus of his work and an insight into the development of the artist's practice. It also features texts by Thomas Lax and Rodney McMillian as well as an interview between the artist and Heidi Zuckerman. Born in 1969 in Columbia, South Carolina, and currently living in Los Angeles, Rodney McMillian received his BA in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and went on to study art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2002. McMillian's work has been exhibited at the UCLA Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Herning Art Museum in Denmark, the Royal Academy in London and Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art.

This volume offers a compelling examination of the surprising conceptual and visual correspondences between the works of these two pivotal artists known for their innovative practices. Klein (1928-1962) was a major figure in postwar art who opened up new possibilities for material, conceptual and performative expression, often touching on the metaphysical. Hammons (born 1943) is a conceptual artist whose works in performance, installation, sculpture, printmaking and other media confront contemporary realities with an often hard-hitting wit. This publication aims not to draw out any notion of influence or direct correlation between these bodies of work, but rather to elucidate a resonance between two artists who both engage transformative processes to invest the humblest of everyday materials with deep aesthetic significance.

Through a variety of media, including photographs, sculpture, video and printed ephemera, New Zealand artist Simon Denny (born 1982) invites us to reflect on the evolution of television and video as both technology and cultural construct. Denny's recent works have included investigations into the "architecture" of the TV set itself, the genre conventions of documentary and the myriad processes by which content is translated from one medium to another, be it in television program stills woven into beach towels or video montages derived from outdated trade magazines. This catalogue traces the arc of the artist's career, with special emphasis on projects realized since 2009--including his 2012 exhibition at the Aspen Art Museum--and features essays by curator Jacob Proctor, critic Pablo Larios and conservator Hanna Hölling; a conversation between Denny and three artistic peers; and illustrations throughout.

Issued in connection with an exhibition held Dec. 9, 2011-Feb. 5, 2012, Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colorado.

Glasgow-based artist Phil Collins' film "Soy Mi Madre" examines the immigrant populations of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, a sizable percentage of which hail from northwestern Mexico. The region relies heavily on service and maintenance work provided largely through this population, who often commute to work in Aspen. Loosely inspired by Jean Genet's "The Maids"--a seminal example of Theatre of the Absurd that renders surreal the intricate power dynamics that exist between people of divergent socioeconomic groups and exploits the volatility of social identity--"Soy Mi Madre" portrays the social realities of this region through the melodramatic lens of the telenovela. Reproduced in this volume through a generous selection of stills, the film uses popular Mexican television actors and crew, including Patricia Reyes Spindola, Zaide Silvia Guiterrez, Veronica Langer and Salvador Parra, as well as members of the transsexual prostitute community of Mexico City.
