Tobias Madison (*1985, Switzerland) belongs to a generation of young artists who frequently open up the isolated process of artistic creation through the use of cooperative or collective strategies. The roles that he adopts are as wide-ranging as the media in which he works: sculpture, video, projection, computer-generated and assisted painting, audio, text, photography, and scanned images, all of which are process-driven, and full of references and descriptions of found symbols. This publication mirrors in book form the 2-phase exhibition held at the Kunsthalle Zürich, and reflects the artist’s understanding that an exhibition is not a format limited by space, but the possibility of temporal and physical expansion and intensification. Madison worked with feedback loops and shifts in the exhibition format: the presentation took place at several sites in Zurich—including the artist-run space AP News and the notorious Longstreet Bar—that were connected spatially and conceptually by numerous events; the gallery’s newsletter not only announced the events but also became an ephemeral publication, in which a text by the artist and other contents were disseminated. This material is now included in this book, mingled with a deconstruction of the poster series by artist Mathis Altman (*1987) that publicized the club nights during the exhibition, which were shown in the entrance area of the exhibition space. The book is the first monograph dedicated to Tobias Madison’s work and is published in the Kunsthalle Zürich series. It includes a newly commissioned text by John Beeson, and two conversations with the artist, one with Beatrix Ruf and one with Bruce Hainley.

Editions Atlas 2000, cm.23x29, pp.344, ill.b.n. relié. Pour certains, le jazz renvoie aux enregistrements de Louis Armstrong des années 20. Pour d'autres au style jungle de Duke Ellington, ou aux rythmes bop de Charlie Parker et Dizzy Gillepsie. Pour d'autres encore au cool de Miles Davis ou aux voix vibrantes et pénétrantes de Billie Holiday et Ella Fitzgerald. Le jazz est en réalité tout cela une musique à la fois sensuelle et cérébrale qui n'a cessé d'évoluer grâce au génie créateur de stylistes et d'esthètes. Abondamment illustré et documenté, cet ouvrage rend hommage aux plus grands musiciens de jazz afin de mieux comprendre la personnalité parfois complexe de ces artistes hors du commun et saisir ce qu'ils ont tous sans exception apporté à la musique du XXe siècle.
