During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favour of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the USA to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists  Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez- Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija  a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landcape of the 1990s and beyond. Featuring over thirty texts by scholars and curators, most of whom have shared in the artists individual and collective histories, the exhibition provides insight and background on the artists and their ongoing social and intellectual exchange.
