Josephine Meckseper

This publication concentrates on a new series of works by Josephine Meckseper, such as the installation Ten High (2007) in which silver mannequins bear anti-war slogans.

In her photography, videos and installations, Meckseper sets images of political activism — photographs of demonstrations, newspaper cuttings — against twinkling consumer goods and advertising motifs.

Published in 2009 by Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zürich; Ausstellungshalle zeitgenössische Kunst Münster, Germany; and Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston; and JRP|Ringier on the occasion of the exhibition Josephine Meckseper at the aforementioned galleries.
