It is no longer a secret that Karin Sander's conceptual approach tends to test and stretch the definition of "concept art" to its very limits. Nevertheless, her work still needs an appropriate discursive representation. Our monograph intends to make a significant contribution to this and supplies the necessary basis for a discussion of this artist's diversified oeuvre. To a larger extent than anything before, it reveals a representative overview of Karin Sander's works between 1985 and 2002, works generally created in situ - in institutional as well as public spaces both in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. It is Sander's frequently minimal interventions in the found rooms - as for example in Wandstücke (wall pieces) and Stoffräume (fabric spaces), in floor works, viewing boxes and peepholes that are shown here, interventions which blend into the respective context so completely that they often remain on the border of perceptibility. An additional, special focus of the book is on the documentation and commentary of a series of works created specifically for the rooms of the museum building of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, designed by James Stirling. The artist: Karin Sander was born in 1957 at Bensberg. She studied at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart. In 1999 she received a professorship for sculpture at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee.
