The World of Madelon Vriesendorp
The World of Madelon Vriesendorp reveals for the first time a significant, and nearly secret, corpus of work notable for its wild diversity. Though Vriesendorp is best known for her seminal cycle of anthropomorphic architectural paintings, her extensive ‘art of generosity’ embraces bad taste, pop, ‘playground surrealism’ and the touching beauty of culture’s failed objects. Here, enlightenment emerges from distraction while seriousness must surrender to the non-serious.
Edited by Shumon Basar and Stefan Trüby, with texts by Beatriz Colomina, Douglas Coupland, Hubert Damisch, Teri Wehn-Damisch, Zaha Hadid, Charles Jencks, Charlotte Koolhaas, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Brett Steele and Fenna Haakma Wagenaar.
This book accompanied the exhibition curated by AACP director Shumon Basar and architect/theorist Stephan Trüby.
