A voluminous book containing a precise composition of images from other books. The result of a long term investigation, this voluminous encyclopaedia contains solely images collected from other books, and reads as an exhilarating and extremely rich filmic sequence. Suter's interest lies not only in the iconographic value of images and the way that the human brain processes visual information, but also the causes by which images become charged with associative values.

Josef Straus experimentelle künstlerische Praxis entwickelt sich aus dem geschriebenen Wort. In seinen Installationen schafft er vielfältige Verbindungen zwischen Text und Objekt. Die Texte selbst sind dabei zum einen durch das typografische Spiel mit Text und Leerstellen gekennzeichnet, zum anderen durch Straus spezifischen Schreibstil, der schnell und spielerisch seinem Bewusstseinsstrom folgt. Zwischen dem Bedeutenden und Bedeutungslosen changierend, verbindet er alltägliche Geschichten urbaner Szenen mit persönlichen Blickwinkeln und literarischen Motiven.

Das im Alltag oder im urbanen Raum Aussortierte in Kunst zu transformieren und damit als Kunst einer neuen Wertigkeit zuzuführen, ist eine der grundlegenden künstlerischen Strategien Theaster Gates’.

If you do dare to mention beauty, then some well-intentioned idiot says “beauty is subjective”, as if this in- disputable truth (given that beauty is, of course, subjective) would implicitly mean that nothing subjective and shared (or universal, or common, or whatever you’d like to call it) could possibly exist; as if subjects could never agree, or could never admit their shared nature and recognize themselves in what, in the end, is nothing more than this: the sudden appearance of something that we all like, something to which we would all like to surrender ourselves (i.e., the sudden appearance of beauty). So, yes: beauty is subjective. But this is no reason to stop worrying about beauty.

SAN ROCCO is a magazine about architecture. SAN ROCCO does not solve problems. It is not a useful magazine. SAN ROCCO is neither serious nor friendly. SAN ROCCO is written by architects. As such, SAN ROCCO is not particularly intelligent, or philologically accurate. In SAN ROCCO, pictures are more important than texts. SAN ROCCO is serious. It takes the risk of appearing naive. SAN ROCCO will not last for ever. There will be no more than 20 SAN ROCCOs for the single five-year plan.

Ein wesentliches Charakteristikum von Textilien ist ihr Beziehungsreichtum. Ihre Aktualität und Historizität beziehen sie aus Kunst und Kultur- ebenso wie Medien-, Sozial- und Technikgeschichte, sie repräsentieren Traditionen der angewandten und der bildenden Kunst, changieren zwischen Formalismus und Funktionalismus und vermitteln als Objekte und Verfahrensweise zwischen Selbst- und Weltverhältnissen, affekt- und wissensgesteuerten Prozessen der Aneignung. Aufgrund ihrer mehrfachen Funktion – als Gebrauchsgegenstand und abstrakte (Formen-)Sprache – zeigen sich in Textilien – verstanden als Handlungszusammenhang – spezifische Verflechtungen, die seit der Moderne in zunehmendem Maße die Relationen zwischen Subjekt und Objekt, materieller und immaterieller, künstlerischer und handwerklicher Arbeit sowie kulturellen Austauschverhältnissen transformiert haben.

The fruit of a lengthy research, this book shows for the first time a significant selection of René Heyvaert's mail art. The latter is linked to the Belgian artist’s multiform oeuvre—which retains, given that René Heyvaert (1928–1984) was originally an architect, an overt material and spatial relation to its environment—as well as to his personal life: his gradually deteriorating health, and the loneliness that fed his epistolary vocation.

On the occasion of the exhibition Die fünfte Säule [The fifth column], curated by Moritz Küng, Joëlle Tuerlinckx presents the lecture-performance Les moments d?espace ? lecture for YouTube in 591 panels (version 17.11.11) and the publication Moments d?espace. On 591 PowerPoint pages the artist describes her subjective and partially autobiographical thoughts concerning the paradox of space in the form of ?textimages? in French with English subtitles. While these are projected uncommented, Tuerlinckx improvises a musicalpiece on a first-generation Casio synthesizer.

Der Medienkünstler, Schauspieler, Theoretiker, Musiker und Museumsleiter Peter Weibel der in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren zu den österreichischen „Rebellen“ zählte, wurde in diesem Jahr für sein künstlerisches Gesamtwerk mit dem Oskar-Kokoschka-Preis 2014 ausgezeichnet. Sein außergewöhnliches Werk ist geprägt durch Themenfelder wie die Mechanismen der Wahrnehmung und des Denkens, die Eigenwelt der Apparate, die Krise der Repräsentation, des Bildes und des Museums, die Beziehung von Kunst, Politik und Ökonomie und die Bedingungen des Betriebssystems Kunst. Das Display der Ausstellung im 21er Haus veranschaulicht dem Betrachter die einzelnen Kapitel Weibels künstlerischen Schaffens – gewissermaßen ein Orbis Sensualium Pictus.
