This book is published on the occasion of a major survey of Viola's work organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, which has traveled to Los Angeles and Amsterdam and which arrives in Frankfurt in Spring 1999. Through contributions by over 30 authors from many different disciplines the Editor offers for the first time an interpretive framework which draws on the aesthetic consideration of each individual work, and thus sheds new light on the complexity of Viola's entire ceuvre. In his introduction Rolf Lauter presents an overview of the installations and videos and draws out the "elective affinities" between the many different pieces.

Go Ask Your Dad challenges fathers from different faiths, cultures, and generations to come together and answer tough questions dads, children, and families face today. Fathers must learn from the past, be prepared now and in the future to discuss everything from sexual education and identity to what kind of career path a youth could choose. They need to have answers on how to handle negative things such as cyber-bullying and ISIS, but also must encourage good choices for health, happiness and a brighter tomorrow. The authors of Go Ask Your Dad don't claim to be perfect dads; they do promise, in this book, you will find valuable lessons from their mistakes and successes.

Questions, Answers, and Stories about Fathers, Fatherhood, and Being a Parent

Go Ask Your Dad

John G. Hanhardt

Widely recognized as the leading video artist of our time, Bill Viola employs sophisticated state-of-the-art technologies to create installations that envelop the viewer in image and sound. In his newest and most evocative work - on display at the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin and in this accompanying catalogue - an ordered sequence of allegorical fresco-like images immerse the viewer in a total aesthetic, sensory, and philosophical experience. Including an interview with the artist - who represented the United States at the 1995 Venice Biennale and whose career was the subject of a major 1997 travelling exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art - this is a mesmerizing volume.
