Beskrivelse
Mechanisms of Power. The Spanish artist Cristina Lucas (b. Ja?n, 1973; lives and works in Madrid) works in a wide range of media and genres. Central concerns include the confrontation of subjective and political historiographies and a critical examination of cultural stereotypes. The publication's point of departure is the multichannel video installation Unending Lightning, begun in 2013, in which Lucas undertakes a painstaking study of the history of aerial warfare. The book also showcases works that limn a contemporary perspective on value chains and the capitalization of time and landscape. Moreover, the artist has developed a corpus of critical cartographic models that offer algorithmic, philosophical, poetic, or, in some instances, humorous visualizations of unexpected nexuses. The first German-language publication on Cristina Lucas's art, it offers a comprehensive survey of her oeuvre to date. Cristina Lucas studied fine arts at the University of California and the Universidad Complutense, Madrid.
