Published on the occasion of his 2013 exhibition at Blum & Poe, this is the first monograph on Los Angeles–based multimedia artist Julian Hoeber (born 1974). Filtering the aesthetics of Minimalism, Op art and the Light and Space movement through a pop-cultural lens, Hoeber’s paintings and sculptures seek irrationality within rational systems, toying with space and perception, and examining how consciousness is affected under varying physical circumstances. As evidenced in his paintings, sculpture and installations, Hoeber displaces distinctions between high and low, conceptual and formal, and art and craft. Beautifully illustrated with 70 images of current and past works, this volume includes a checklist of the exhibition, and a complete bibliography, extensively documenting Hoeber’s past and current work. The book also includes new essays by Douglas Fogle and Jonathan Lethem written especially for this volume.
