A Small Retrospective From Three Decades

American artist Vija Celmins (b. 1938) is widely admired and respected for her sublime images of night skies and ocean waves. "Vija Celmins:

Zoe Leonard’s You see I am here after all brings together thousands of postcard images of the “great cataract,” Niagra Falls, from the early 1900s through the 1950s. This grand accumulation of viewpoints brings up issues as diverse as human interventions with nature and the function of landscape in inventing American historical narratives, as well as the technological evolution of image reproduction and dissemination.

Each drawing in the Codification of intimacy is based on a chapter, a passage or a key word that Voigt has chosen to distill from Niklas Luhmann's Love as Passion (1982). Voigt began her drawings by first marking those passages in the text that triggered intuitive associations.

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.

Can an autobiographical tale tell the personal stories of many? This is what Rubén H. Bermúdez achieves through the pages of the photo book 'And you, why are you black?" where, starting from an investigation into the origins of black slavery in Spain, the author constructs an autobiographical tale that acts as a political essay, rescuing his memory captured in the images, conversations and symbols that marked his life and thus narrates the everyday and the extraordinary of a society seen from a black perspective.

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.

What is the lesson of the vine? I asked artists, writers and winegrowers the question and their responses, reflections and songs are gathered together in this publication. Textual images are roused and conjured up, such as the insatiable mouth of the winelouse devouring the language of the vine; or the surge and flow of the vine-triloquist speaking in intoxicated tongues; nocturnal fires in the vineyards; gardens of paradise and gardens of errors.

The Henry Rox Revue combines artistic masterpieces between acrobatics, music and dance with the bizarre things of everyday life - the impossible is captured here in unique photographs. Henry Rox`s photographic world of images is a crazy revue with subtle humor and witty charm.

"In 2012 I was asked to be in an exhibition in Holland themed around the Dutch artist, Bas Jan Ader. I was to come to the small town of Winschoten for a month and make the work for the exhibition. The town was a short bike ride away from the small village where Ader’s father was a minister. After staying in Holland for about a week, I became annoyed with the curators. From this annoyance I decided what work I would give to them for their exhibition. I was to disappear from Winschoten. Not to romanticize Ader’s own disappearance at sea, but to disappear from a situation I did not want to deal with."
