Michel Butor’s Description of San Marco (1963) is an unusual book; an unorthodox intermingling of overheard dialogue from the iconic Venetian square in question, thick descriptions of persons and buildings, along with sober historical information. In the original,

This artist's book is characteristic of Jean-Michel Wicker's work with typography and graphic design. It features a series of graphic works, a “tree of life” produced in collaboration with Marlie Mul, a text by Harry Burke, and a recipe for Alsatian plum pie by Charlotte Wicker. The publication's inserts reproduce collages and paintings by Wicker.

To have children or to make ‘descendants’ was one of the most natural things in the world; the life of people, animals, plants, was considered poiesis per se. Many myths, legends and fairy tales are implicitly or explicitly about reproduction and sexual life. The increasing infertility of the human species and the extinction of

Cabins is the outcome of Matteo Ghidoni’s theoretical and critical research on “being”. Relying on architectural drawing, and through the investigation of a human's most basic needs, Ghidoni produces ten abstractions of architecture, dedicated to the care of body and soul.
Cabins are not residential units as described by modern architecture;

Franz Graf is now playing his characteristic game with emptiness and abundance, black-and-white contrasts, letters and words, small, delicate details and large iconic, archaic, and modern elements at the 21er Haus.

Bernhard Cella's performance uncovers the artistic potential of everyday situations associated with physical and mental mobility. The artist draws up scenes of European lockdown cowboys misappropriating props of lost urban life, celebrating memories of authentic knowledge sanctuaries, uninhibited revealing in open public spaces and inebriation with the flow of social interaction.
Cella manipulates and strings together various aesthetic aspects of fading cultural artifacts and, in collaboration with an art audience, produces a transformed experiential space-for a limited time only.

The book not only displays the uncontrollable compulsion of graffiti bombing by 21 artists from different parts of the US, Canada and Mexico. This remarkable book focuses on those who are the exceptional graffiti bombers in the last decade.

The catalog was developed in close collaboration with the artist. It examines Atkins' practice in the context of contemporary art, literature and digital representation, and explores how the artist uses the displacement of language and script as well as music, voice and sound. Through videos, texts and drawings, the artist develops a multi-layered and deeply figurative discourse. The impossibility of an adequate representation of the physical, especially the corporeal - from computer-generated visual vocabulary to the most hackneyed poetry - is

Foreign words, paper, photos, colors, ashes, organic matter: two artists mix images and texts – shapes and words. Animals and humans meet, undergo metamorphoses and establish strange connections, as elastic and intimate as membranes.

1958 auf der Werkkunstschule in Offenbach entwickelte Franz Erhard Walther eine eigene Typographie, die ohne Diagonalen auskommt. Im vorliegenden Künstlerbuch bildet er mit ihnen so genannte »Werksätze« – auf jeder Seite ein Buchstabe, jeweils einer Szene aus seinem Leben aus den Jahren 1954 bis 1973 gegenübergestellt, beispielsweise einer

A two-volume artist’s book highlighting the sculptor’s protracted career and stringent works
Designed by American conceptual sculptor Cady Noland (born 1956), The Clip-On Method’s two volumes can be picked up and read in any order: back to front, front to back, or started in the middle. Readers take it upon themselves to weave their way through Noland’s tangled oeuvre.

But, tell me, how did he feel about the book? Well, it was in it that an awareness came up, the awareness that the work spoke more about him than about the other. And why? Who knows?

Weaving as a Metaphor offers the intimate side of the artist's oeuvre. . . . Emulating a gallery setting, the catalog, itself a work of art, presents each weaving on a separate page. Trenchant information as well as thought-provoking essays--by Arthur C. Danto, Joan Simon and Nina Stritzler-Levine--archival photographs and notebooks round out this wonderful publication.

Im Januar 2019 veröffentlicht Michel Houellebecq "Serotonin". Im Jahr 2020, in einer poetischen, vielleicht sogar chemischen Geste, nimmt François Mangeol den Roman von Michel Houellebecq und reduziert den Text des Schriftstellers auf die alleinigen chemischen Symbole, die die Serotonin-Zusammensetzung bilden: C für Kohlenstoff, H für Wasserstoff, N für Stickstoff und O für Sauerstoff. Diese Symbole sind isoliert und über die gesamten 352 Seiten des Buches verteilt, als ein Echo zu dieser schwierigen Suche nach Glück.

Andy Boots Werk überbrückt die schwierige Grauzone zwischen dem Fassbaren und dem Digitalen. In seinen gleichermaßen konzeptuellen wie poetischen Objekten und Gemälden gelingt es dem Künstler, Ideen, Orte und Prozesse zu verwirklichen, die sonst in einer Welt, die sich zu oft blind auf Technologie verlässt, verborgen geblieben wären. Wir unterhielten uns mit Andy Boot über seinen Umzug von Australien nach Österreich, seine Faszination für Blockchain und natürlich über das konzeptuelle Fundament seiner Arbeit.

Dangerous Bodies brings together artist Barbara Kapusta’s recent writing. Designed by Sabo Day Font: Silom, Dangerous Bodies

In Klara Kayser's water-proof pocket book of poetry, Hygiene, the Düsseldorf-based artist nibbles at the surfaces of our bodies, desires, and ideas and through words constitutes what washes off and what sticks. Kayser's interest in the human body is a theology of slapstick, translating form into a poetic language that hums the dramatic rhythm of a pick-me-up-and-drop-me-low pop song.
