DE JONG, Jacqueline; BÜHLER, Melanie (ed.)
DISOBEDIENCE

Published to accompany the artist’s 2025 retrospective at the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, this comprehensive monograph offers a detailed overview of the work of Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong, spanning her entire artistic journey, from her editorial activities and bold figurative paintings of the 1960s to her Billiards series in the 1970s, and her latest series of the 2020s that reflect the current state of the world. 

Disobedience features new essays by Karen Kurczynski (Professor of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst), Emily LaBarge (writer and critic), Tiana Reid (Assistant Professor of English at York University), Paul Bernard (Director of Kunsthaus Biel), as well as an as-yet-unpublished conversation with the artist and McKenzie Wark (writer and theoretician). Organized through 6 sections entitled Disobedience, Publishing, Chaos, Pop, Play, and Politics, it underlines the challenging approach to art and life developed by De Jong formally, visually, and conceptually from the early 1960s until 2024.
