Summary:

"This new book accompanies an exhibition of work by eight of today's most engaging international artists - Franz Ackermann, Peter Land, Sarah Morris, Gabriel Orozco, Jorge Pardo, Tobias Rehberger, Gregor Schneider and Andrea Zittel. Through a variety of media and styles ranging from painting, photography and video to installation, furniture design and architecture, this crop of young artists from around the world offers a range of possibilities for making sense of the often-impersonal, increasingly fragmented terrain of the postmodern world. The artists documented here all concern themselves with the difficult project of cognitive mapping - the individual and social attempt to face up to an increasingly complex and seemingly unknowable reality. In addition to a critical essay by architecture historian Michael Sorkin - addressing the ever-changing physicality of the contemporary world and its impact on the human psyche - "Comfort" also features responses by each artist to the question of what the concept of comfort means to them."--BOOK JACKET.
