Indian stunt artists who hide their faces are paid more than those who show their faces, while Black women stunt artists are often cast for character types who don't even get a proper name in the script. Madhusree Dutta writes on hierarchy and exclusion in cinematic practices, with alternating chapters from the life stories of two female film students. Situated in a space between

The book begins with one single verse of poetry on "Abdallāh - The Slain" (Abdallāh al Qateel), a poet who was killed by the last thing he saw: the columns of the castle as palm trees. The rest of the book is footnotes on each word in this verse, and on the works of this poet, who only exists on the margins of the arabic literary canon.

Russians could say: If you tie yourself to the tree, they will simply cut your down together with the tree. At this struggle, all means are good enough: if you cannot love your homeland as a human being, if the enemy pushes you out, love it like a plant – stay, resist; or love it like a beast – run, attack,

Do you really want to remember your dreams? I often wish to forget mine, probably because I sometimes remember them to the point that I get angry with people for what they did in them, or grow sad again over what happened as though it reoccured last night, or feel the bittersweet joy of having, for a moment, what enchanted me. Sometimes I think I have in fact replied to work emails or finally sent my clothes to

"This guidebook is my contribution to look at the positive side of the art world and give first-hand advice, tips and food for thought for a fresh perspective," explains Noe.

David Schalko, known as the director and writer of series such as Altes Geld and Braunschlag, is releasing his first photo book, Geister. It is the collection of an obsession: Schalko’s creatures, which he continuously and everywhere discovers, are stains and marks on streets, in backyards, and most prominently on house walls and in stairwells.

Die Sahara ist die größte Wüste der Welt, gefüllt mit Sandmeeren, Kiesebenen, die sich bis zum Horizont erstrecken, Sandsteinbergen und Vulkanen, die bis zu 3.000 Meter hoch sind. Im Dezember 2022 und Januar 2023 unternahm die Fotografin Barbara Seyr zusammen mit dem Schriftsteller Raoul Schrott und seinem Team eine Reise dorthin. Von Algier nach Tamanrasset, vom Mittelmeer i

‘Professor M looked down at his paunch and sighed. At 56 his physical decline, long established, hadn't got any easier to endure. Work didn't help. And neither would this meeting. In fact, he was dreading it. If she had shown his letter to the Dean he was done, and he knew it was his own doing. What a fool. He knew he had been kidding himself. Times had changed, and he knew that too.

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.

Alcohol Makes You Invincible by dddddddumar Fukunovo (a.k.a. Dumar Brown, a.k.a. Nov York) takes place where many twenty-first century death cult stories take place, the post-apocalyptic now. The only difference in this rendition of the utopic post-human is that one race of people survive on the burnt out landscape-the very serious alcoholics.

Erika Hirose is a miso brewer based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Using traditional technique from her native Japan, she makes miso from local Dutch ingredients, creating an amazingly delicious product that is prized by everyone from home cooks to Michelin-starred chefs.

This book follows the first exhibition of Robilliard’s notebooks, ‘Disorganised Writings and Sketches’ at Rob Tufnell in Cologne in April 2019. Rob Tufnell announces a new publication of extracts from the notebooks of the poet and artist David Robilliard (b.1952 – d.1988). After his premature death from an AIDS-related illness in 1988, Robilliard left a large number of notebooks in the care of his close friend and fellow artist Andrew Heard.

Linda Carreiro and Lan “Florence” Yee refute the notion that what cannot be apprehended is worthless. Their glossary may be read as a manifesto encouraging us to pay more attention to the blurs and vagueness of our environments and thoughts, and to our societies’ invisibilities – prompting us to open our creative minds and welcome uncertainties and the unknown with generosity.

Midnight Deer Abstractions is a collaboration between artist Geoff Farnsworth and poet Erin Knight to produce limitless in-betweens and vast spaces where slight variations contain all the precisions of colour and diction, rendered immediately nebulous. Creating spectral selves, they invite us to look “between foreground and background” for the traces and sketches of identities, whose edits are vague, always disappearing to be retraced, resketched.

Latitudes is a collage whose only constraint is to use fragments of existing texts and images and whose objective is to briefly suggest the outline of an imaginary novel.

Bibliographic Performances & Surrogate Readings delves into the imaginative realm of books and libraries and the interpretive structures of subject bibliographies. It is the first monograph of its kind to historicize, theorize and survey two decades of

This publication picks up on several of the themes which emerge conceptually and artistically in the Central Asian Pavilion project, and elaborates them in a philosophical, historical and poetic register within the specific materiality and temporality of a book—though the website as a repository and forum for these kinds of explorations should be mentioned as well—with its capacity to extend the time, space and context of

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.

In meinem Doktoratsprojekt „Crip Modes of Artistic Research“ erforsche ich soziale Bewegungen um „Behinderung“ in wechselnden historischen Räumen. Ziel ist es, alternative Erzählungen, Strategien der Aneignung und Verbindunglinien mit u.a. künstlerischen Mitteln aufzuzeigen. Die Arbeit verfolgt einen transdisziplinären Ansatz, der sich aus künstlerischer Perspektive den „Disability Studies“ nähert und sozialgeschichtliche, theoretische Bezüge herstellt. Es bringt diskursive Medien, Räume und Formate hervor, darunter eine regelmäßig veröffentlichte Zeitschrift (Crip Magazine) sowie andere künstlerische Formate.

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.

„Wie ein Hund!“ sagte er, es war, als sollte die Scham ihn überleben. Mit diesem Satz beendet Franz Kafka seinen Roman „Der Prozess“ und benennt ein zentrales Thema seines Schaffens: Die Scham. Sie und viele andere mit dem Werk Kafkas verbundene Themen haben den Schriftsteller tatsächlich überlebt und als „kafkaesk“ eine allgemeingültige und immerwährende Eigenständigkeit erlangt.

Hans G Helms hat zwischen 1959 und 1968 drei Sprachkunstwerke geschaf- fen, die zu den fortschrittlichsten ihrer Gattunggehören:

Wen oder was wir als liebens- und begehrenswert empfinden, hängt mit Vorstellungen eines idealen Körpers, unseren Bildern von Mann und Frau, mit unserem Sinn für Schönheit und "Normalität" und natürlich mit unserer Stellung in der Gesellschaft zusammen. Das Bild von Liebe und Begehren, Erotik und Sexualität hat sich im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder verändert. Das ist nicht zuletzt an der Un-/Sichtbarkeit gleichgeschlechtlich l(i)ebender Menschen abzulesen.

The book deals with the process of visualising music using the first movement of Mozart's Symphony in A major as an example.

„Sie lächelte mit einem anderen Ohr.“ / “And He smiled another ear.“ - Übersetzungsprogramme funktionieren mittels Datenbanken und algorithmischem Zugriff. Nebenbei produzieren sie semantische Fehler und ästhetische Extras, poetische Zufälle. …und diesen Einfall: das Kinderspiel „Stille Post“ mit google translate zu simulieren.

Hermes erhält einen Anruf aus Rumänien: Das alte Haus in der strada Liviu Rebreanu ist verkauft worden. Warum hat er noch den Schlüssel zu dieser Wohnung in Sibiu? Vielleicht, weil sich das so ergeben hat. Vielleicht, weil diese Wohnung ein Treffpunkt ist am Anfang oder am Ende einer Reise. Vielleicht, weil er sich so einfacher auf den Weg machen kann zu den Orten, die Cluj heißen oder Chișinău, Odessa oder Gjumri, Iași, Šamorín oder Tampakika.

Am 25. September 1940 überquerte Walter Benjamin auf der Flucht vor den Nazis die Pyrenäen. Er hat das Tal auf der spanischen Seite bereits erreicht, hat ein Visum für die USA, die Transiterlaubnis durch Spanien nach Portugal hat er auch. Was er nicht hat, ist ein französisches Ausreisevisum. Die spanischen Grenzbeamten erlauben die Übernachtung in Port-Bou –

Nicht irgendein – mein Warenhaus! ÷ So titelte die letzte Ausgabe der Centrum-Rundschau 1989, ein kleines Betriebsblatt für alle Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter des Leipziger Centrum Warenhauses, welches sich schon ein Jahr später in eine Karstadt-Filiale verwandeln sollte. 2019, dreißig Jahre danach, wurde es geschlossen. Den Verkäufer­innen hat man gekündigt. Ihr Kaufhaus steht leer, die Fontäne ist versiegt.

Ein Jahr lang bewegt sich der deutsche Forschungseisbrecher „Polarstern“, angefroren an einer Eisscholle, im arktischen Polarmeer. Seine Aufgabe: den Klimawandel und dessen Einwirkungen auf die Nordpolarregion zu erforschen. Das Expeditionsprojekt „MOSAiC“ – die Drift des Schiffes mit dem Meereis von Herbst 2019 bis Herbst 2020 – ist eines der größten und aufwändigsten Forschungsvorhaben der letzten Jahre.

Jean-Pierre Brisset, Raymond Roussel, Marcel Duchamp:
three men whose names are inextricably linked by their respective intellectual trajectories, creative processes, and reception histories. Similarities between them abound, and can also be perceived in minute biographical details, accidents, and coincidences. Their well-known penchant for treating aesthetic issues as issues of methodology provided all three of them with the impetus to devote themselves to technical innovations, which is maybe a lesser known aspect of their respective works.

Einsamkeit ist nicht Sache des isolierten Einen. Einsamkeit tritt ein, sobald die Andern wiederkehren, ob als Erinnerte, Vermisste oder Bedrohliche, ob als Lockende, Kämpfende oder Schwatzende. Einsamkeit ist ein Verhältnis. Ripplingers Essay betrachtet dieses Verhältnis an der Echo-Literatur von Gustave Flaubert und Uwe Nettelbeck, an Exil-Schriften von Victor Hugo, an Gedichten von Elizabeth Bishop und Emily Dickinson, an der Antipolitik von Maurice Blanchot, an Fabeln von Günther Anders und Ernst Bloch, aber auch an dem Melodram Portrait of Jennie von William Dieterle.

Bekannt ist Raymond Roussel als Ingenieur delirierend-phantastischer Wortwelten, bekannt sind seine Romane voller exotischer Rituale, theatraler Maschinen und blutiger Szenen. Ein anderer Roussel bleibt in seinen frühen Versdichtungen zu entdecken: ein Zeitgenosse Marcel Prousts, ein scharfer Beobachter der Gesellschaft, ein Meister der Ekphrasis und ein großer Humorist.

Due Magneti by artist A. Herms is a collection of day and dream texts that become interwoven into a narrative about the construction of roles. The banal is sacred, the dreams are treasures. Both the reflection of everyday occurrences and the ability to transform oneself in dreams offer possibilities to question and shape one's own biographical identity.

Anna Grath ist Bildhauerin, deren Praxis – häufig sind es Wandarbeiten – vom Verknüpfen und Verbinden geprägt ist. Auch Das Regal ist eine fein konstruierte Montage von 204 einzelnen Buchseiten.

“Saint Louis in his prison in Damietta”, “A house engulfed in flames ...”, “A snowman, such as children build ...”: The painter and illustrator Henri-Achille Zo (1873–1933) received a total of 59 instructions of this kind in the early 1930s.

To Perform a Ferry is a book that holds eight performance scripts and other material to be spoken. Inspired by the figure of the renegade who leaves land behind and crosses the sea or leaves civilization to take refuge in the vast desert, the eight scripts embody the state of migrating, through space but also through languages, bodies, and writing genres. Written in English by Mohamed Abdelkarim.

In 1972, Ulises Carrión produced his first artist’s book SONNET(S) which consists on 44 variations of a sonnet by Dante Gabriel Rosetti titled “Heart’s Compass”. Using the language as a material, Carrión writes Rossetti’s poem over and over again on a typewriter, in slightly different versions.

X is an annual magazine focusing on visual culture and experimental literature: a collective artwork, a material flow of reality that eludes any prediction. X freezes on paper the power of contemporary art and writing, welcoming with joy the delirum of participating in such pursuits. Pain, battles, sequences of errors, vanished memories and unwanted prophecies; X is born because we can still be against everything and also against ourselves.

From one of the most lauded artists of his generation comes a purging soliloquy: a profound nowt delivered in some spent afterwards.

In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.

To write about someone else means both to expose and transform them. This is the dilemma of writing that Janet Malcolm describes as “morally indefensible.” In Doing Time: Essays on Using People, Kristian Vistrup Madsen deliberates on his correspondence with an inmate in a California prison named Michael. Over several years, this spawns a series of reflections about the politics of solidarity and

Rab-Rab Press announces the publication of “Free Jazz Communism“, a new book actualising Archie Shepp–Bill Dixon Quartet at the 8th World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki 1962.

Next Spring is an occasional series of reviews that offers a different approach to the writing of art criticism. Focused on the reading of one film work, each book in the series presents a parallel text on the artwork as both a critical response and literary production. The film selected and the text produced consider ecological issues, environmental concerns, and systematic revisionings. The language of place is given priority and image reproductions used nominally. Paris, May 16, the pilot issue, includes writings by Clara Schulmann, Barbara Sirieix, and Jennifer Teets, as well as a visual essay by Scott Rogers on the invitation of Richard Frater.

In 1977 Ingemo Engström and Gerhard Theuring embark on a journey through France. They trace the escape route of the German emigration in France 1940/41, documenting the places, talking to witnesses, relating the temporal layers. The film ESCAPE ROUTE TO MARSEILLES that was the result of this journey, carries the subtitle “Images from a working journal (1977) on the novel Transit (1941) by Anna Seghers”. Produced by the WDR, it premiered in Mannheim and had success at international festivals. Accompanying the film, Theuring and Engström conceived an issue of the journal Filmkritik that extends the movie, comments upon it, provides an insight into the research and production process. On the occasion of its theatrical release in Great Britain, Framework: The Journal of Cinema and Media published the comprehensive essay by Engström and Theuring in English translation. HaFI 009 republishes the essay from Filmkritik and its English translation in facsimile. In addition to the essay by Theuring / Engström, the booklet contains two texts by Paul Willemen and Steve Neale, who contextualized the film in the UK for Framework, as well as a commentary by the Harun Farocki

Square of Will in Square of Love gathers a selection of texts, notes and drawings by Alina Popa, edited by Florin Flueras.
