The volume presents the works of contemporary visual artists who have approached the theme via photography, video, sculpture, installation, and performance. They question society's view of substances and the ways that they are dealt with, from their effects and potential to the relationship between individual freedom and collective responsibility, as well as the factors linking the distribution of substances, economic interests, black markets, and subcultures. The artists themselves discuss the topic in a variety of interviews.Participating artists: Daniel García Andújar, Cassils, Rodney Graham, Sidsel Meineche Hansen, Carsten Höller, Joachim Koester, Mary Maggic, Joanna Rajkowska, Thomas Rentmeister, Marten Schech, Jeremy Shaw, and Suzanne Treister. 319 Seiten mit 240 Abb., gebunden (Hatje Cantz 2018) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
