Tony Conrad
Two Degrees of Separation
Über zwei Ecken

The publication accompanies the exhibition Tony Conrad Two Degrees of Separation at Kunsthalle Wien from December 3, 2014 to March 8, 2015. Tony Conrad, who can be described as an artist, composer, musician, filmmaker, and performer, might be considered the first true “crossover artist.” In his essay A Show That’s Almost Invisible, the critic Jonathan Walley discusses how the main works in this exhibition relate to Conrad’s interest in the subgenre referred to as the woman-in-prison film, silent music, and the idea of perspective developed during the Italian Renaissance. A conversation between Tony Conrad and Diedrich Diederichsen provides insight into the thinking of the multitalented artist and his unique position in the field of contemporary art.
