Soft back $25 plus s/h [ISBN 1-58442-041-3]. Catalog for the exhibition “Roman Signer: Works.” Originating at at the Galleries at Moore (January 24–March 13, 1997), the exhibition traveled to Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI (September 12–October 26, 1997). Together with the exhibition, this catalog is the first comprehensive presentation of Signer's art in the U.S. It documents his sculptural artifacts and Super-8 films and videos since 1972 and incorporates drawings of site-specific installations for the gallery's exhibition. Also included are “I Was Here or Roman Signer: the Buster Keaton of Art” by Bice Curiger; “Sculpting Time” by Max Wechsler; “The Sound of One Bomb Clapping” by Kristine Stiles; and “Sherlock, Jr.” by William Horrigan. Swiss sculptor Roman Signer harnesses natural forces—wind, water, and fire in the form of explosive—and channels them to create poetically resonant and hilarious works of art. The films and videos that accompany his sculpture capture the playfulness of his singular process and stand as art objects in their own right. Signer was chosen by a group of distinguished international curators to be the third artist in the Moore International Discovery Series, a program of biennial exhibitions that brings the work of innovative yet little-known international artists to American audiences.
