Genius \u0026amp; Stupidity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together works created since 2015 by the New York State-based Swiss artist. They revolve around universal themes and questions dealing with the relationship between humankind, nature, and technology. Reckless exploitation of resources and climate change play a major role in Breuning's recent work. He exposes the fractures and failures, naivety, and stupidity that characterise much human behaviour as relentlessly as he does the absurd and the amusing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 60 recent drawings by Breuning constitute the book’s common thread across a range of thematic focal points. Photographs, video stills, views of installations, and past exhibitions complement these drawings to create an independent visual reading in several chapters. The bizarre meets a brightly coloured, attractive repertoire of images, creating an idiosyncratic cosmos that causes exhilaration as well as thoughtfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo scholarly essays introduce Olaf Breuning's multi-layered artistic practice, while two literary contributions offer a wider view of his visual world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText in English and German. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260121850200,"sku":"9783039423439","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783039423439.jpg?v=1778809524","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/olaf-breuning-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
