Parkett: Karen Kilimnick, Malcolm Morley and Ugo Rondinone

The fascinatingly diverse and eccentric oeuvres of three collaborating artists investigate the noble artistic sentiment of melancholia. In this issue of Parkett, Karen Kilimnik's fragile, tragicomic installations reveal the tenuous line between fantasy and reality, while the motifs of Malcolm Morley's vigorous paintings embody childlike fantasies of power and happiness, and the chameleon-like Ugo Rondinone exploits every possible medium, from drawing to performance, in his ongoing investigation of comic pathos. Texts by Lebensztejn, Schorr, Wakefield, as well as Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuna on weaving, all add up to make this Parkett fittingly spectacular..
