«Glanz und Verderben» is the exhibition catalogue by Vitus H. Weh, published by Kunstverein Medienturm in paperback (135 pages, in German).
The volume addresses the growing presence of crystals and other geological elements in artistic and cultural contexts. The crystalline is shown as an emblem of durability and hardness, yet linked to the withered, the fleeting and the perishable; the work brings together disciplines, works and documents around that ambivalence.
It documents the exhibitions 'Das Blaue Licht' (Graz, 2009), 'Sharp chic' (Vienna, 2009) and 'Glanz und Verderben' (Mürzzuschlag, 2008-2009) and includes bibliographical references.
For readers interested in contemporary art, architecture, design and visual culture who want to explore the symbolism of the crystalline.
