面具总能唤起人们对狂欢节或非洲部落仪式的联想，令人联想到名人的死亡面具、戏剧与时尚、角色扮演、伪装术以及防护用具。它们堪称文化史上最古老也最具争议的物件之一。当今艺术家们不再局限于物件本身，更关注面具蕴含的社会、文化与政治意义。

本书于2019年秋季与阿尔高艺术馆展览同期出版，深入探讨面具在当代艺术中的多元呈现。历代艺术家始终为面具及其象征意义所吸引。通过呈现瑞士及国际知名艺术家的力作与精炼评述，本书展现了关于面具主题的丰富艺术实践。

 

Masks evoke scenes of carnival or African tribal rites, we may be thinking of death masks of famous people, theatre and fashion, cosplay, disguise, and of protection. They represent some of the most ancient and most controversial objects of our cultural history. Today’s artists look beyond the mere object, they are interested also in the social, cultural, and political meanings of masks.

This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Aargauer Kunsthaus Aarau in fall 2019, explores their appearances in contemporary art. Artists at all times have been attracted by masks and their symbolism. Through works by distinguished Swiss and international artists and concise texts the book demonstrates manifold approaches to the topic of masks.
