Built in the 1920s, Hearst Castle is regarded as a hyperreal castle located between myth and monument, kitsch and curiosity. Nina Lucia Groß offers a first in-depth art-historical assessment of the ensemble, placing it in the context of Californian modernism. Architecture, interior design, collection and landscaped grounds are examined as an assemblage of mobilized objects, images and styles. Based on intensive source research, the study reconstructs Julia Morgan’s and William Randolph Hearst’s collaborative practice, reading the estate as a project of cultural transfer. Historical analysis and an examination of the castle’s continuing role in popular culture and tourism intertwine and reveal Hearst Castle as a built setting as well as a dynamic space of the collective imagination.Hearst Castle and Californian modernismRe-evaluation of Hearst Castle as an architectural assemblageInnovative links between research into architecture, collection and cultural transfer

With sex toys, the potential for misinterpretation and ill-advised use is vast, as countless slapstick comedies illustrate. Steering clear of quick laughs, Franziska Opel deftly harnesses this anarchic power of misunderstanding to explode our perceptions and worldview. Her works are painstakingly planned experimental arrangements in which she modifies or deforms mundane objects as well as those sex toys in subtle ways or powers them up in series, making us see them with fresh eyes. They cast a spell over us with their sensual allure, while our associative circuits processing what we see spark a certain sense of irritation.Curiosity, attraction, bewilderment, shame, expertly staged in photographs for this catalogue, the works elicit a wide range of emotions. Their energizing contradictions are elaborated by contributions from gifted writers: standalone poetic-narrative writings that reflect on several key aspects of Opel’s art in offhanded yet challenging ways.
