Résumé:
Over the past 20 years, the Vienna-based Generali Foundation has established itself as an internationally distinguished institution, with countless must-see exhibitions of conceptual and critical intermedia art to its name. The exhibition history tells it all: Valie Export, Harun Farocki, Dan Graham, Sanja Ivekovic, Mary Kelly, Edward Krasinski, Gordon Matta-Clark, Gustav Metzger, Walter Pichler, Martha Rosler, Adrian Piper and Allan Sekula have all shown there, often for their first solo outing. Generali has also commissioned works by artists such as Maria Eichhorn, Andrea Fraser, Hans Haacke, Dorit Margreiter, Mathias Poledna, Marjetica Potrc and Heimo Zobernig. In this power-packed book, numerous installation views and texts provide a review of the foundation's comprehensive program, whose context and genesis are discussed in a conversation between the foundation's long-time Director Sabine Breitwieser and art critic Sabeth Buchmann.

Résumé:
Some art is dismissed as "difficult"--difficult because of the media it employs, but even more so because of the sociopolitical themes it addresses. This art is often conceptual or performative, works cross-disciplinarily with architecture and design, and critically examines social parameters and the role of the media. Its media is naturally mixed, spanning and going beyond photography, film, video, and installation, all of which allow for process-oriented engagement. The Generali Foundation in Vienna has devoted much of its collection, exhibition energy, and research focus to this "difficult" type of artwork. Though many of the artists that form its collection are part of the canon of recent art history, they are mostly underrepresented in institutions--but not the Generali Foundation. Occupying Space presents a dense, comprehensive selection of projects from its collection by such artists as Valie Export, Andrea Fraser, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Hans Hollein, Mary Kelly, Gordon Matta-Clark, Adrian Piper, Martha Rosler, Allan Sekula, Peter Weibel, and Franz West, together with brief, articulate texts on their work.

Résumé:
Interview – in her discussion with Diedrich Diedrichsen the artist considers her relationship to the many sources behind her work : minimal sculpture, modernist architecture, conceptual art, and other multi-media artists` practices, such as Bruce Nauman’s. Survey – Alex Farquharson examines the principal themes in Genzken’s work since her now-legendary first exhibition in Berlin whilst still a student of Gerhard Richter. Focus – Sabine Breitwieser looks at Genzken’s little known ‘Hi-Fi’ series of photographic works, which centre on magazine advertisements for stereo equipment. Artist’s choice – "The bad glazier" by Charles Baudelaire (1869). Artist’s writings – notes from a 1973 exercise based on instructions by Bruce Nauman ; an previously unpublishd 1996 film script ; a 2003 interview with Wolfgang Tillmans ; and two new artist`s statements. Chronology and bibliography.
