      Swiss artist Daniele Buetti is notorious for his defaced photographs of supermodels, which feature scars, tattoos and disenchanted fragments of text. Buetti has been questioning the socially determined constructs of beauty and the commodification of sexuality and glamour since the 1980s. His altered photographs--large-scale C-prints on aluminum or light-boxes--have messages like "How much is my body worth?" and "What shall I hope for?" scrawled across them in electric colors. Buetti also often energetically scratches out or draws over portions of the image in a manner that recalls the destructive doodling of a truculent adolescent. Maybe You Can Be One of Us focuses on Buetti's recent drawings, videos, sculptures and installations. In these newer pieces, the fashion models give way to enigmatic illustrative symbols, such as two disembodied hands conjuring a puff of smoke. This publication accompanies an exhibition of new work at the Swiss Institute for Contemporary Art in New York.

      Art historian, curator and founder of Parkett, Jacqueline Burckhardt's contributions to the art world make her a true Renaissance woman The life of Swiss-born art historian Jacqueline Burckhardt (born 1947) is steeped in the arts: as a former restorer, as coeditor of the art journal Parkett, as curator of site-specific art on the Novartis Campus in Basel, as a lecturer and as director of the summer academy at the Zentrum Paul Klee. This volume honors Burckhardt's tireless dedication to the arts, featuring an in-depth dialogue with the curator and art historian Juri Steiner, which addresses a plethora of topics ranging from the dual historical nature of artworks to Herbert Lachmayer's concept of "taste intelligence." Selected texts penned over the past 40 years elaborate on issues raised in the conversation and emblematize Burckhardt's distinctive writing voice. The "Intermezzo"--with contributions by Laurie Anderson, Kurt W. Forster, Katharina Fritsch, Herbert Lachmayer, Pipilotti Rist and Catherine Schelbert, plus a letter from Ernst Gombrich--eloquently testify to her relationship with artists and authors.

      Jacqueline Burckhardt nähert sich der Kunst aus verschiedenen Perspektiven: als Ex-Restauratorin, Kunsthistorikerin, Initiatorin eines Performanceprogramms im Kunsthaus Zürich, Mitherausgeberin der Kunstzeitschrift Parkett, Kuratorin für ortsspezifische Kunst auf dem Novartis Campus und Dozentin an der Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio sowie Direktorin der Sommerakademie im Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern. Ihr kulturpolitisches Engagement umfasst neun Jahre als Präsidentin der Eidgenössischen Kunstkommission. In "La mia commedia dell'arte" entfaltet sich ein tiefgehendes Gespräch mit Kurator und Kunsthistoriker Juri Steiner, das Burckhardts 'Inter esse' im Kunstfeld beleuchtet. Die Konversation entwickelt sich zu einer faszinierenden Arbeits- und Denkbiografie, in der Themen wie die doppelte Geschichtlichkeit des Kunstwerks und die Kunstfertigkeit von Giulio Romano behandelt werden. Zudem wird über Herbert Lachmayers Konzept der 'Geschmacksintelligenz' und die metaphysische Qualität von Kunst reflektiert. Figuren wie Kairos, der Gott des günstigen Augenblicks, und Isabella d'Este treten auf. Seit 40 Jahren schreibt Burckhardt über zeitgenössische Kunst; eine Auswahl ihrer Texte bietet Einblicke in ihre publizistische Tätigkeit. Ihre Verbundenheit mit Künstler*innen und Autor*innen zeigt sich in fünf Inserts von Laurie Anderson, Kurt W. Forster, Katharina Fritsch, Herbert Lachmayer und Pipilotti Rist.
