Michael Archer's illuminating introduction traces the history of installation art from Duchamp's first readymade through the Pop tableaux of Kienholz, Oldenburg, Kaprow, and Dine to more recent developments such as Land Art and Process Art. This is followed by a global range of installations, presented and documented by Nicolas de Oliveira, Nicola Oxley, and Michael Petry.

"Over the past decade Hans Op de Beeck has become established as one of the most exciting young artists on the international art scene. His work covers an astonishing spectrum ranging from installation art and sculpture, to video, photography and drawing." "On Vanishing is the result of a collaboration between the artist and the authors Nicolas de Oliveira and Nicola Oxley. The authors' text builds other matter around the artist's work, creating an ambiguous space crisscrossed by different paths that contain obstacles, deviations and detours."--BOOK JACKET.

"This volume surveys the innovative ways in which Installation has evolved, embracing different and often unexpected media, and its far-reaching practice worldwide. Installation has opened art to experimental strategies beyond the traditionally visual, as impressively illustrated here in over 300 reproductions of work by artists as diverse as Doug Aitken, Vanessa Beecroft, Santiago Sierra and Mariko Mori". -Back cover.

The work of the Belgian artist Hans Op de Beeck is interdisciplinary. It comprises large installations, sculptures, films, videos, photographic works, pictures, drawings, texts, theatre and music.00For the assembly hall, Op de Beeck has created a fictive, monochrome, mystical garden landscape around a central pond. Surrounded by trees and monumental rocks, interspersed by Chesterfield sofas, the atmosphere evoked by the artist appears to suspend our earthly perception of time. The room-filling work sensitizes our perception of the environment and nature; we leave the conventional system of reference behind, lose our everyday relation to time, and find ourselves in a meditative and multi-sensory situation.00Exhibition: Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria (01.06.-10.09.2017).

This unique artist's book is the culmination of Hans Op de Beeck's long-term project "Sea of tranquillity". The ambitious publication includes film stills, texts, sculptures, watercolours and even a soundtrack (sung by Sandrine). In his familiar pictorial style - mildly surreal and resolutely critical - the artist confronts us with a large-scale but fictional luxury cruiser. This artificial city symbolises a postmodern society in which extreme luxury is accompanied by a moral vacuum. The book is conceived as a museum setting in which all the exponents of the engaging cruise irrevocably lead to perdition. On board we meet not only Eros and Thanatos, but also boredom, miscommunication and a hierarchial crew.
