Description: Milan: Skira, 2013. 30cm., hardcover, 99pp. prof. illus., most in color. English text. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: Since his breakthrough in the late 1990s, Tom Friedman has become one of the most influential artists of our times by transforming everyday objects such as toothpicks, toilet paper, hair and sugar cubes into extraordinary works of art. This book gives unique insight into the making of Up in the Air, the largest artwork Friedman has made to date for a solo exhibition at Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall in 2010. This astonishing work consists of nearly a thousand meticulously handcrafted objects suspended from the ceiling at different heights – a project that kept Friedman’s studio busy for over two years. Up in the Air invites the observer to enter into Friedman’s complex and humorous world. Carefully navigating through the multitude of suspended objects, one can discover references to popular culture, science, politics and religion. By posing fundamental philosophical questions, Friedman aims to “slow down the process of looking” in a world of information overload.
