How do we draft a life, make of it a project, do our daily work? In what material and language does it arrive to us? And what if but it is done with one’s own body, and that body becomes this material but not the subject? Villiger’s autofictions––whether sculpture or image, human or vegetal body––prompt such queries.

The book "Blod som skuggor i vatten" contains 72 drawings made during a two month period when the artist, Ingvild Hovland Kaldal, received treatment in hospital for a postpartum psychosis in 2013. The drawings are all made with charcoal on paper, and towels. They vary in their expression from abstract to figurative. The book can be seen as a journal from a state beyond time. A state that moves between heaven and hell, where chaos meets ecstasy and darkness is mixed with light.

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

A poignant news photograph, a striking headline or a major international event: for more than forty years Kees de Goede (1954) has been responding very tangibly to the news. For his series of Astral drawings he uses newspapers as subject matter and as the image support.

The Thinking Foot is a study of history and associations. In method and form it claims to be no more (nor less) than an illustrated essay on the architectural expression of surface.

‘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.

"body to book” is an upcycling project that explores the relationship between the human body and books. It comprises six sculptures assembled from coat fragments and books, each covering a naked body.

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.

Johanna Drucker’s Diagrammatic Writing is a poetic demonstration of the capacity of format to produce meaning. The articulation of the codex as a site for meaning-makinghas rarely (if ever) been subject to such highly focused and detailed study as in this volume,

In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of.

Wenn wir angesichts des aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Wandels über radikale Veränderungen des Zusammenlebens nachdenken, müssen dabei auch das Wohnen und die zugehörigen Prozesse und Ressourcen miteingeschlossen werden.

Neue Straßen überwinden das Leitbild der autogerech­ten Stadt und zeigen so die wiedergefundene Bedeutung öffentlichen Raums auf. So werden aus reinen Verbin­dungs- und Erschließungslinien multifunktionale Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsräume.

New streets overcome the model of the car-friendly city and thus demonstrate the rediscovered importance of public space. In this way, pure connecting and access routes are transformed into multifunctional recreational and meeting spaces.

These creative spaces were incubators of radical thinking, in which artists could exchange provocative ideas. They were welcoming environments for artists, dancers, designers, writers, and musicians pushing the boundaries of cultural and social norms.

Short bursts of sound produced with my own voice traverse the space. The tones of sound collide, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant, calling across the space, measuring and defining the architecture. The sounds are produced by a pair of parabolic reflectors facing each other.
