Made in USA

Résumé du livre

"From 1999 to 2001, the New York-based collaborative project Bernadette Corporation produced Made In USA, a magazine that combined fashion, art, music, and critique as an experiment in creating "a place we can all disappear to, instead of being anti-everything and writing the new manifesto, or instead of being pro-everything and buying the latest CD." Artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Peter Fend, and Jutta Koether showed work and wrote alongside philosophers and critics like Sylvere Lotringer, Paul Virilio, and Chris Kraus. For three issues, Made In USA mapped out the cultural terrain for a generation of artists living in New York at a time when reactionary politics and the phenomenon of globalization reached a tipping point. Badlands is pleased to reissue these seminal and historical works as hi-resolution e-books for a new generation of artists and readers. They are all available on Apple iBooks (for the iPad, iTouch, and iPhone), Amazon Kindle, and other e-readers. The reissue of Made In USA coincides with the first retrospective of Bernadette Corporation, at Artists Space, New York. Bernadette Corporation: 2000 Wasted Years recasts the works authored by the group since their inception in the early '90s. The exhibition runs from September 9 - December 16, 2012, and will travel to the ICA in London in Spring 2013."--Amazon.com.
