Distemper New Christs - LP 8435008888923

The Hirshhorn's landmark show 'Distemper' defined what may be the last major art trend of the 20th century -- the prevailing sense of social and cultural dismay that Washington columnist E.J. Dionne called the 'distemper' of the 1990s. This brilliant exhibition catalog presents the work of ten younger artists whose work reflects the distemper of the times: Miroslaw Balka, Marlene Dumas, Robert Gober, Mona Hatoum, Mike Kelley, Guillermo Kuitca, Charles Ray, Doris Salcedo, Thomas Schutte, and Rachel Whiteread. Together, they represent a wide swath of the globe, from Europe and the Americas to Africa and the Middle East. Although their artistic agendas vary widely, they share a sense of being cultural barometers.

A serial killer declares hunting season in an upstate New York university town. The killer wants to keep the young reporter, Alex Bernier, well-informed, both as a journalist and as a potential victim.

In the Shadow of Tomorrow, first published in 1936, is a commanding analysis of the Western world in the midst of modernity. Johan Huizinga, best known for his landmark studies The Waning of the Middle Ages and Homo Ludens, confronts the anxieties and afflictions of his time—the destruction and disease of war, the decay of art and culture, the emergent spiritual apathy of a world grown weary of itself. Huizinga writes, “Everywhere there are doubts as to the solidity of our social structure, vague fears of the imminent future, a feeling that our civilization is on the way to ruin. They are not merely the shapeless anxieties which beset us in the small hours of the night when the flame of life burns low.”Prophetic and powerful, In the Shadow of Tomorrow is a highly valuable, historically significant treatment of the cultural deterioration in the decades prior to World War II. For, in examining the “modern distemper,” Huizinga provides a cogent diagnosis and remedy that still warrant attention today.
