FACES OF ATHENS sheds light on the consequences of the collapse of the social and healthcare system in Greece following the implementation of the austerity measures imposed by the EU finance ministers.

»Also muss die Wahrnehmung eine instinktive Fähigkeit der Seele sein, basierend auf einer profunden und essentiellen Geometrie, jener Geometrie, die sich aus den einfachen Teilungen eines Kreises ableitet. All das hatte er schon seit langem für wahr gehalten. Nun machte es sich daran, den kurzen Schritt zur Fusion von Symbol und Objekt zu tun. Der Kreis ist der Träger der reinen Harmonien, reine Harmonien wohnen der Seele inne, also sind Seele und Kreis eins.« aus Kepler von John Banville

Brèves gathers 40 newspaper clippings that Jean‑Luc Moulène has individually altered and recontextualized.

Rehousing is the title of a series of works by Peter Friedl which comprises a selection of individual, intricate, and true-to-scale models of houses. Collectively, these structures materialize as constructed environments that reflect the recent past, different biographies, and ideologies in diverse ways; they are “case studies for the mental geography of an alternative modernity.”

A discreet, yet unapologetic, feminist reading of the past and present with a particular focus on deconstructing inherited notions of identity and gender. It seeks to examine the impact these have had on contemporary relational modalities in order to find new capacities to dissect the resulting interpersonal dynamics. There is a wish to pause automatisms that suffocate the mind.

Here live the near-blind. In their eyes the city dwells like aureoles on suckling lips. Here they apprehend the city with knowledge viscous and immediate. And here they also live uneasily, for tranquillity is found only in pictures they are disinclined to make.
In essays, letters and aphorisms, this book makes near-blindness tangible as one condition of living in. protracted war.

@shouseRCA and @shousetanlin are two publications from their respective Twitter accounts. Each account was one of the two voices of the statementhouse (temporary title) built at the Royal College of Art in London in 2015.

The publication of The Against, the book that documents the process, development and results of the homonymous exhibitions that simultaneously took place last Spring at multiple sites in New York.
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.

2017 begann das Künstlerkollektiv Triple Candie (Shelly Bancroft und Peter Nesbett) mit der Arbeit an einem vielschichtigen Forschungsprojekt, im Zuge dessen sie die Werke und Methodologien des amerikanischen Künstlers Michael Asher (1943–2012) untersuchten. In diesem performativen Projekt unternahmen sie den Versuch, die verlorenen, experimentellen Potenzialitäten von Ashers situationellen Kunstwerken wiederaufleben zu lassen. Dafür führten die KünstlerInnen profunde

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

Daily Weeding depicts Kuba Ryniewicz's everyday life in Newcastle. The British photographer of Polish origins gives us a glimpse into a number of intimate and public moments spent with his husband and closest friends, set against the familiar backdrop of his home and surrounding fields, sharing them with both poetry and humor. His photos are enhanced by a moving work of literary fiction written by playwright and novelist Yelena Moskovich and a postscript written by James Tait Black Memorial Prize winner Olivia Laing.

Like a mighty river that flows and deviates from its course, this publication invites us on a journey to decipher the hidden predatory logic within the mechanisms of gold mining exploitation and the resulting socio-ecological devastation in the Guayana and Venezuela’s Amazon regions. More than a warning, What the Mine Gives, the Mine Takes presents a collective and sensitive cartography of this mining conflict through a diversity of art projects, poems, essays, diagrams, satellite visions, and documentary images.

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.

What is the color of Milk? Is it white? Or almost white? The images in this book show forty colors of human milk. They have been drawn from found footage images representing breast milk and human milk.

Dia Art Foundation commissioned Thomas Hirschhorn to build Gramsci Monument, an excessive outdoor sculpture that measured 8,000 square feet and was located on the grounds of Forest Houses,in New York (Bronx).

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

OPTIONS offers a non-linear reading of the events that led to the annexation of South Tyrol to Italy at the end of WWI. When the area between the present-day Austrian and Trentino boundaries officially became an Italian province in 1919, a choice was given to the local communities: they could either stay, naturalise as Italians and side with the Fascists, or they could emigrate to the Third Reich and leave behind their culture and possessions.

46 Seiten im Heft mit Schutzumschlag, 3 Textbeileger, 4Blatt Aufkleber mit Arbeiten des Künstlers, zahlreiche Abb. in Farbe, Broschur, 22 x 15 cm - Ob barocke Madonnen, Satellitenaufnahmen von Google Earth, Pistolen oder Ereignisse der Weltgeschichte in Nussschalengröße: Der Künstler Peter Sauerer (*1958) nimmt sich all jene Dinge vor, denen es gelingt seine Aufmerksamkeit zu binden. Sorgsam schnitzt er sie im Miniaturformat liebevoll nach, bemalt und zerlegt sie sodann, um sie im letzten Schritt der Bearbeitung mit Schnüren wieder zusammen zu fügen. Seine Kleinplastiken vereinen Konstruktion und Dekonstruktion, balancieren zwischen Aufbau und Zerstörung, markieren einen Zustand der Wandlung.

For the first time, this publication brings together the Mosaic works by the British artist Stephen Willats, which were created in Great Britain and Finland in the 1990s. In these works, Willats uses the medium of the book to enter into an exchange with people and to create a space in neighborhoods, museums, and bookstores where social bonds can be established. It is a collaborative process through which Willats redefines the web of relationships between artist, artwork, audience and society; a process of instituting in which the artwork becomes its own institution.

With contributions by Jamie Allen, Bernhard Garnicnig, Elsa Himmer, Lucie Kolb and Stephen Willats.

Das Künstlerinbuch DIE AUFSTELLUNG von Rebekka Bauer thematisiert die Weitergabe von Traumata des 2. Weltkriegs im Wohnhaus einer deutschen Familie. Ausgangspunkt ist ein Archiv von über 500 Metallobjekten, die der Großvater der Künstlerin, ein ehemaliger Wehrmachtssoldat, über mehrere Jahrzehnte im Keller des gemeinsamen Wohnhauses fertigte. Die Objekte, Hunderte von Kerzenständern, die in einer skurrilen Vielfalt aus

Sag ein paar Worte, irgendetwas, Marten hat sich gerade an dich erinnert“, bat mich Eva mit hektischer Stimme am Telefon. Ich wusste nicht, worum es ging. Wir hatten länger nichts von einander gehört. Ich war zwei Jahre zuvor von Berlin zurück nach Wien gezogen. Auf der anderen Seite der Leitung hörte ich nur noch irgendwelche schwer verständliche Laute.

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.

This is not a catalogue raisonné. Nor is it a family album. If anything, it is an album dé-raisonné, the collage of a life commented on discreetly by its author. It is a reproduction of the world of Olga Mohler-Picabia around a mentor and a great love, Francis Picabia. A variation on the theme of Pygmalion, this album is the highly personal expression of a quarter century of learning. An intaglio portrait of Picabia through the eyes of Olga, a portrait that is at once funny, intimate, sensible and often very moving.

Zum 100. Geburtstag von Inge Morath in diesem Jahr erscheint in der FOTOHOF>EDITION ein Doppelband von zwei selten gezeigten Fotoserien. Beide Bücher nehmen sich Themen im Werk von Inge Morath an, die nicht zum Mainstream ihrer Arbeit gehören, die aber eine ganz besondere Qualität besitzen.

Eine blecherne Taschenlampe mit einer runden Glaslinse und diesem kleinen Schalter, an dem immer wieder der Fingernagel hängenblieb. Eine Farbfilmdose von Agfa, die grobe, altmodische Küchenreibe (ich benutze sie immer noch) und vieles mehr… Dinge.

Ode to Construction – Abstraction in the Digital Age explores the intersections of graphic design and art through the means of generative code, gesturing playfully and melancholically towards the foundational legacies of the Suprematist and Constructivist movements of the early 20th century.

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?

Through a series of studio visits that culminated in an artist talk at Residency Unlimited, Dalton and I examined racism and the language systems that perpetuate it; the black body; silenced black people; the African diaspora and its religions; performance and rituals; nature and healing; black protagonism.

In this warm and soft book, covered by a blood red fabric, artist Rosana Paulino brings together for the first time the series of drawings that give their title to the publication: Buffalo and Lady of Plants. Both represent female archetypes related to the black psyche, and they go against the dominant European and colonial collective consciousness.

Subduing our bodies, in the sense of controlling our impulses and desires, is an aspiration which is older than Christianity. At that time, the dominant question was: how do you get good control over yourself? Christianity made women the symbol of possible loss of control over our bodies. Achieving our self-control turned into being able to control the woman, to avoid the temptation that she, malevolent, represents.

The book ...Umas […Some] begins before I existed. First of all, because of the artist's own connection with the newspaper: Lenora de Barros worked for many years behind the production of magazines and newspapers, artistically thinking the process of some of the main publications that still circulate in Brazil. The newspaper Folha de São Paulo, as it is known today, also has a lot of her touch.

Soft Edges, Draw Close presents a body of work by Euphrosyne Andrews that explores how materials and their subsequent associations shape our interactions within space. Architecturally scaled sculptural works are displayed alongside intimate ‘viewing rooms’ in reference to public and private divisions. Schematic drawings for

Cocoon or Carcass. Past or Future. Building the ruin. This edition pays close attention to the metaphorical structures and cultural crisis in South West Cornwall.

Plunder the silver crust. Fill the stained valleys. Deeper into the subterranean. The shocks, the rocks, the flash. Echoes of our old faith tearing loose the earth. Photographs from the Wheal Maid Copper Mine, Gwennap, Cornwall, 2023.

A collection of drawn proposals presenting an ongoing project between the artist and Tower Hamlets Community Housing. Focusing on our relationship with architecture and the history of ornamentation within public spaces, the drawings highlight the increasingly important role of communal and shared spaces to elicit social interaction. The publication details the artist’s plans for the redevelopment of the communal spaces within a housing estate in East London.

Idol Hands presents a wealth of source and visual references, alongside original drawings from the artist’s unique and expanded narrative of imagery stemming from alternative means of communication such as braille, morse code and sign language.

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.

Books not only describe their own contents but also the eras in which they were created. Conceived as a color inventory, this publication gathers a selection of titles that I have dealt with, exhibited, and produced since the early 2000s.

Im Frühjahr 2019 bereiste ich zum ersten Mal Japan. Ich blieb für zwei Monate. Meine Reisevorbereitungen starteten gewissenhaft: kurz vorher besuchte ich auf Empfehlung einen zweiwöchigen Japanisch-Intensivkurs für Anfänger*innen am Japonikum der Uni Bochum. Trotz ernsthafter Bemühungen gingen meine Sprachlernversuche komplett daneben. Mir fehlte

Inside this box is a book that holds thirteen letters written between 2019 and 2022 by the artist Yamine Elmelegy to the sculptor and industrialist Fathy Mahmoud (1918-1982). Yasmine never met Fathy Mahmoud but started writing

The volume is an epistolary narrative produced via text message with a community of anonymous correspondents. Following on from a performative work, conceived by Simon Asencio, this book stages a relation between two protagonists, U and I. Through identitarian slips and glyphs, the book explores the narrative ambiguities of experimental writing, to generate a space for fluidity and uncertainty, at the intersection of the artistic and the literary.

A multifaceted play with language and meaning can be grasped in their work and exhibition titles. In their practice, they have been working against the grain of some of the art world’s conventions, from medium specificity to questions of branding and commodification.

Zur Ausstellung erscheint eine Publikation mit einem Essay von Stephen Ellcock, in dem er die spirituellen und mythologischen Bezüge in Delaine Le Bas’ Werk und insbesondere in der für die Secession konzipierten Installation exemplarisch anhand von Referenzen aus der griechischen Mythologie und altägyptischen Totenkulten darlegt.

Anish Kapoor is one of a highly inventive generation of sculptors who emerged in London in the early 1980s. Since then he has created a remarkable body of work that blends a modernist sense of pure materiality with a fascination for the manipulation of form and the perception of space.
