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.

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.

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.

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.

Im Frühjahr 2019 bereiste ich zum ersten Mal Japan. Ich blieb für zwei Monate.

Trotz ernsthafter Bemühungen gingen meine Sprachlernversuche komplett daneben. Mir fehlte

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.

In 2018, the Museum Villa Stuck presented a comprehensive retrospective with works by the goldsmith and silversmith Rudolf Bott. The book accompanying the exhibition is a 672-page monumental work. Far from a usual catalog with colorful illustrations, it is "thought in black and white" like the entire exhibition. With a 340-page photo report by Jörg Koopmann and Lene Harbo Pedersen, who photographed the objects across Europe at the lenders and in Bott's studio.

Die großen, grotesken Fotoserien von Anna und Bernhard Blume sind heute wohlbekannt.

Between December 2022 and March 2023, Vivian Suter shared hundreds of photos, all taken with her mobile phone, with the designer and editor of this book.

They were also said to induce auto-illumination, the participant’s body generating an intense light from within.

The publication is developed as a reflection on books as archives of touch. Visiting our local public library, the Philipp Schaeffer Bibliothek in Berlin, we checked out a selection of books that caught our attention. Bringing them home, we took photographs of handling and reading the books, which we then printed out and inserted back into the books. Following this, we returned books to the library with these hidden pages added.
