Text by Christian Rattemeyer, Rita Gonzalez, Jesse Willebring.
Based in Los Angeles, conceptual artist Karl Haendel (born 1976) is known for his large-scale graphite drawings, installations, videos and public projects. His practice is driven by his interest in the semiotic function of images and texts: how they are used to form both personal and cultural meaning, values and beliefs.
Pulling from a broad-ranging and idiosyncratic archive of found, stock and self-made images, Haendel’s works engage in a critical assessment and interpretation of themes ranging from masculinity to ethical responsibility and the mediation of political events and public personas. This first monograph on Haendel’s work assembles his oeuvre of the past 17 years.
