Jahresring #60: Jahrbuch fur moderne Kunst. Nicolaus Schafhausen in conversation with Silke Otto-Knapp
Jahresring #60: Jahrbuch fur moderne Kunst. Sternberg Press is pleased to announce the publication of Attention Economy. Art's presence in the field of new media has never been more pronounced. Access to media images and Internet-based research are among the most significant factors affecting contemporary art production. The art market has changed as well, gaining influence in the field of contemporary art; even art institutions are taking a different approach today than they did twenty years ago. The 60th Jahresring takes the form of a compilation of artist interviews and offers a snapshot of a highly active art scene that stretches from Berlin as a new international center for art. Nicolaus Schafhausen put a series of questions to 31 art practitioners, less geared toward each artist's own praxis and more toward the conditions under which it arises. Subsequent to the publication, Kunsthalle Wien will host a group exhibition related to questions about the value of attention and spectacle.
