Published by the Generali Foundation, Austria on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition. About the exhibition:
Hans Haacke (born in 1936 in Cologne, GER, has lived in New York, USA, since 1965) focused on "a single problem area: how the country deals with its history and national identity. More than I care for, these questions stir up emotions both in Austria and Germany." Haacke had been originally concerned with physical and biological systems. Very early on, his artistic practice also included the analysis of and reflection on socio-political phenomena. Haacke's work deals with social and political themes. He considers the debates arising from his works - fierce at times - to be an integral part of them.
"Mia san mia" (We Are Who We Are) was both the title of the exhibition as well as a new installation which Haacke had especially conceived for Vienna, and which the Generali Foundation realized in collaboration with the artist. In this piece, Haacke questioned the notion "Insula Austria," as Austria was once depicted on the cover of a German art magazine. "Mia san mia" connected three earlier works by the artist in which he also addresses issues associated with the construction of identity. Two of them were either created or conceived in and for Austria. According to his then view they "have unfortunately lost none of their relevance."
In the installation "Mia san mia" Haacke took up this issue from a current perspective. Haacke had developed his project "Und Ihr habt doch gesiegt" (And you were victorious after all) for the 1988 "steirische herbst" (Styrian Autumn) in Graz - the general theme was "Schuld und Unschuld in der Kunst" (Guilt and innocence in art). As part of the visual arts section "Bezugspunkte 38/88" (Points of Reference 38/88) he reconstructed a Nazi victory column at the central square "Am Eisernen Tor." Two weeks before the end of the exhibition it was firebombed. Once again in 1996, Haacke was invited to Graz to submit a proposal for a Memorial to the Victims of National Socialism at the Military Target Practice Range "Feliferhof." Also on view was an installation relating to his much-discussed project at the Reichstag building in Berlin (1999/2000).

- The Sprinters, for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, with official COABy John BaldessariLocated in New York, NYJohn Baldessari The Sprinters, 1982 Limited Edition Offset Lithograph on Parson's Diploma paper Signed in graphite on the front. Accompanied by letter of authenticity from the publisher 36 x 24 inches Unframed Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the publisher on Olympic Committee letterhead. This is one of 750 hand signed lithographic posters, published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics . Even though the signed edition is 750, the publisher is said to have sold fewer than 200 and destroyed the rest; hence signed editions of this print are far more scarce than the edition suggests. The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, including to create unique designs to promote the event.
