Hyper Real charts the evolution of hyperreal art into the twenty-first century through the work of key figures in its early development in the1960s and 1970s to today's artists who are exploring new mediums and technologies that progress the genre's compelling narratives and tropes. From eerily lifelike figures to out-of-this-world virtual reality, these works provokes reflection, fascination, fear and joy and chronicle the cycles of life and our constant need for connection, posing the fundamental age-old question of figurative sculpture: 'what makes us human?' A question that takes on even greater impetus in our radically changing world. Richly illustrated with uncanny sculptures and cutting-edge digital art, Hyper Real includes two fascinating essays of the genre by Otto Letze, the founder and Director of the Institute of Cultural Exchange in Tübingen, Germany, and Jaklyn Babington, Senior Curator, Contemporary Arts Practice-Global, at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, Australia. Featuring the work of early American pioneers, celebrated Australian artists and international masters: AES+F, Zharko Basheski, Stephen Birch, Cao Fei, Maurizio Cattelan, Berlinde De Bruyckere, John DeAndrea, Keith Edmier, Carole A Feuerman, Daniel Firman, Shaun Gladwell, Robert Gober, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks, Allen Jones, Peter Land, Tony Matelli, Paul McCarthy, Ron Mueck, Jan Nelson, Tony Oursler, Evan Penny, Patricia Piccinini, Marc Quinn, Mel Ramos, Ugo Rondinone, Jamie Salmon, George Segal, Marc Sijan, Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, Ronnie Van Hout.

The twentieth century was a period of rapid change for religion. Secularisation resulted in a dramatic fall in church attendance in the West, and the 1950s and 1960s saw the introduction of new religions including the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the Church of Scientology, and the Children of God. New religions were regarded with suspicion by society in general and Religious Studies scholars alike until the 1990s, when the emergence of a second generation of 'new new' religions – based on popular cultural forms including films, novels, computer games and comic books – and highly individualistic spiritualities confirmed the utter transformation of the religio-spiritual landscape. Indeed, Scientology and ISKCON appeared almost traditional and conservative when compared to the radically de-institutionalised, eclectic, parodic, fun-loving and experimental fiction-based, invented and hyper-real religions. In this book, scholarly treatments of cutting-edge religious and spiritual trends are brought into conversation with contributions by representatives of Dudeism, the Church of All Worlds, the Temple of the Jedi Order and Tolkien spirituality groups. This book will simultaneously entertain, shock, challenge and delight scholars of religious studies, as well as those with a wider interest in new religious movements.

At the end of the 1960s in the USA a group of painters stepped out of the shadows of Abstract Expressionism and turned towards the tradition of painterly realism but, however, in doing so they also exaggerated the illusionism that had been handed down from the 1920s and 1930s. These painters often used the photographic image as a verbatim model but could 'correct' the photographs as Chuck Close did in his portraits by placing different photos next to each other in order to give each segment of the picture its own focal point and, in a complex work process, turning photography into painting. Starting from the MUMOK's extensive collection of 40 works, this major exhibition places the museum's own holdings in a context of realisms and investigates the concepts behind a painting genre that is determined by the subject matter of the city, streets, automobiles and the American way of life. Time and again the Photorealists emphasised the importance of Pop Art some of which is shown at the start of the exhibition before the presentation of the main protagonists. Artists represented in the exhibition include: Richard Artschwager, Peter Blake, Chuck Close, Thomas Demand, William Eggleston, Eric Fischl, Andreas Gursky, Richard Hamilton, Duane Hanson, David Hockney, Candida Hofer, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Jeff Koons, Louise Lawler, Roy Lichtenstein, Malcolm Morley, Tom Phillips, Sigmar Polke, Mel Ramos, Gerhard Richter, James Rosenquist, Thomas Ruff, Ed Ruscha, Markus Schinwald, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Hyper Real: The Passion of the Real in Painting and Photography at MUMOK, Vienna, October 2010 - February 2011. English and German text.

Hyperreality is an Alice-in-Wonderland dimension where copies have no originals, simulation is more real than reality, and living dreams undermine the barriers between imagination and objective experience. The most prominent philosopher of the hyperreal, Jean Baudrillard, formulated his concept of hyperreality throughout the 1980s, but it was not until the 1990s that the end of the Cold War, along with the proliferation of new reality-bending technologies, made hyperreality seem to come true. In the “lost decade” between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11, the nature of reality itself became a source of uncertainty, a psychic condition that has been recognizably recorded by that seismograph of American consciousness, Hollywood cinema. The auteur cinema of the 1970s aimed for gritty realism, and the most prominent feature of Reagan-era cinema was its fantastic unrealism. Clinton-era cinema, however, is characterized by a prevailing mood of hyperrealism, communicated in various ways by such benchmark films as JFK, Pulp Fiction, and The Matrix. The hyperreal cinema of the 1990s conceives of the movie screen as neither a window on a preexisting social reality (realism), nor as a wormhole into a fantastic dream-dimension (escapism), but as an arena in which images and reality exchange masks, blend into one another, and challenge the philosophical premises which differentiate them from one another. Cinema of Simulation: Hyperreal Hollywood in the Long 1990s provides a guided tour through the anxieties and fantasies, reciprocally social and cinematic, which characterize the surreal territory of the hyperreal.

Current images of sustainability are often designed to instil fear and force change, not because we believe in it, but because we fear the consequences of inaction. Moving away from negative portrayals of sustainability, this book identifies the factors that motivate people to aspire towards sustainable living. It introduces the notion of sustainability as an "object of desire" that will allow people not to be scared of the future but rather to dream about it and look forward to a better quality of life. Tracing the history of major changes in our society that have dramatically altered our perceptions, beliefs and attitudes about sustainability, the book analyses the role of communications in persuading people of the benefits of sustainable living. It describes our current desires and dreams and explains why we need to change. Finally, the book suggests what could be done to not only make sustainability an object of desire, but also introduce hopes and dreams for a better future into our everyday lives. This inspiring and interdisciplinary book provides innovative insights for researchers, students and professionals in a range of disciplines, in particular environment and sustainability, sustainable marketing and advertising, and psychology.

Rejecting static and reductionist understandings of subjectivity, this book asks how people find their place in the world. Mapping the Subject is an inter-disciplinary exploration of subjectivity, which focuses on the importance of space in the constitution of acting, thinking, feeling individuals. The authors develop their arguments through detailed case studies and clear theoretical expositions. Themes discussed are organised into four parts: constructing the subject, sexuality and subjectivity, the limits of identity, and the politics of the subject. There is, here, a commitment to mapping the subject - a subject which is in some ways fluid, in other ways fixed; which is located in constantly unfolding power, knowledge and social relationships. This book is, moreover, about new maps for the subject.
