Parkett : The Parkett series with contemporary artists. (Zürich : Parkett-Verlag, 2001)
Interwoven lines and web-like structures attack the retina and send us reeling. Anyone gazing at Bridget Riley’s anti-contemplative paintings experiences absolute presence. This volume of Parkett, for once with four collaboration artists, communicates “modernity”— a modernity that is advanced, revised, and references everyday life. As if we were standing solidly in the present, unfettered by unduly profound ideals, with mind and senses exploiting all available means of perception in order to probe previously hidden potential. At the same time this volume looks into the contingencies of perceiving world, from the largest to the smallest scale. In their essay on Matthew Ritchie our contributors Peter Galison and Caroline Jones (science historian and art theoretician) observe that art is invading scientific terrain, to the great delight of all those involved.
