Summary

Quotations and variations, adaptations, samplings and references are central themes in contemporary art. Referencing other artists or other periods in art history is currently a very popular element of art practice.Among Heroes: Pre-Images in Contemporary Art departs on a search for current examples of artistic referencing and illustrates art practices that do not deal with Romantic transfigurations of the past or past art. Instead, these focus on subjective re-interpretations of the myths of art history that display a new and consciously independent quality.Artists include Claudia Angelmaier, Hanna Brandes, Jan Dörre, Elmgreen & Dragset, Sabine Gross, Carina Linge, Jonathan Monk, Benjamin Moravec, Klaus Mosettig, Daniel Richter, Norbert Schwontkowski, Stefan Stößel, Veron Urdarianu, Gabriel Vormstein, Mark Wallinger and Martin Wöhrl.Published to accompany the exhibition Among Heroes: Pre-Images in Contemporary Art, May July 2011, Kunsthalle Nürnberg.English and German text.
