Résumé
'A collaboration between Museum Folkwang and the Pinault Collection, Dancing with Myself is a wild jig through the art of the last fifty years, in which the dancers themselves are the artists. Going beyond the classic self-portrait, this book and the exhibition it accompanies bring together pieces in which the artist's personal identity and body become the subject of the creative endeavour. What kinds of multiple meanings may ensue if author and material fuse in the artistic process? Does the author's presence in the work guarantee an authentic experience in an age in which all our truths have gone missing? Are you yourself the best, the sharpest, the most ironic critic of your own self and your artistic alter ego? What's behind the great upsurge in artistic production since the early 1970s? What critical functions and poetic modes of storytelling reside in the works that have been produced? Co-published with Museum Folkwang, Essen. Exhibition: Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany (7.10.2016-15.1.2017)'
