Jérôme Chazeix's publication focuses on the participatory practice and the use of textile. Chazeix's work of the last years are contemporary syntheses of the arts («Gesamtkunstwerke») in the combination of different media and their cross-references.

Michel Butor’s Description of San Marco (1963) is an unusual book; an unorthodox intermingling of overheard dialogue from the iconic Venetian square in question, thick descriptions of persons and buildings, along with sober historical information. In the original,

This artist's book is characteristic of Jean-Michel Wicker's work with typography and graphic design. It features a series of graphic works, a “tree of life” produced in collaboration with Marlie Mul, a text by Harry Burke, and a recipe for Alsatian plum pie by Charlotte Wicker. The publication's inserts reproduce collages and paintings by Wicker.

To have children or to make ‘descendants’ was one of the most natural things in the world; the life of people, animals, plants, was considered poiesis per se. Many myths, legends and fairy tales are implicitly or explicitly about reproduction and sexual life. The increasing infertility of the human species and the extinction of

What might be considered the research output of a walking practice? An important caveat to this would be to ask where and when the research occurs in relation to the walk, the walking, and the walkers. Does the walk activate our senses, or do our senses demand that we walk? Since walking involves encounters with various objects and subjects, how

Cabins is the outcome of Matteo Ghidoni’s theoretical and critical research on “being”. Relying on architectural drawing, and through the investigation of a human's most basic needs, Ghidoni produces ten abstractions of architecture, dedicated to the care of body and soul.
Cabins are not residential units as described by modern architecture;

Franz Graf is now playing his characteristic game with emptiness and abundance, black-and-white contrasts, letters and words, small, delicate details and large iconic, archaic, and modern elements at the 21er Haus.

How does art become a subversive partner of consumer culture? And how does the gaze into a shop window merge with that into a museum? Fresh Window illuminates a rich chapter in art history, where the shop window becomes a stage, and the promise of consumerism transforms into art. Spanning from the opulent displays of the early 20th century to the radical performances of today, this book bridges commerce, creativity, and societal change.

1932 veröffentlichte Karl Fränkel ein in einer Kleinstauflage auf seiner Handpresse gedrucktes Bilderbuch, das aus 12 teils handkolorierten Holzschnitten mit dazu passenden Versen besteht und von Hand als Blockbuch gebunden wurde. Der wiederentdeckte Künstler Karl Fränkel (Wien 1895-1964) beschäftige sich Zeit seines Lebens mit der, wie er sie in einem Buchtitel nannte „Wiener Vorstadtkunst der Gegenwart“. In einer Zeit der

The Donaufestival 2010 in Krems was held under the theme "Failed Revolutions" and featured a diverse program of music, performance, and visual arts. In the visual arts segment, Franz Graf and Christian Jankowski were among the artists showcasing their works. Media art pioneer Paul DeMarinis also presented pieces that combine sound, light, and technology. A catalog for the art exhibitions was self-published by the artists, providing additional insights to accompany the festival program.

Die Einladungskarte für Heimo Zobernigs Ausstellung in der Galerie ist gleichzeitig ein Plakat dominiert vom Schriftzug AUSTELUNG.
Im ersten Raum der Galerie steht ein kreisrunder Tisch aus Winkel-Stahl mit sieben Beinen und einer bronzenen Spiegelglasplatte, ergänzt durch sieben Stühle mit gold-lackierten Sperrholz-Sitzschalen und verchromten Rundrohrgestellen. Zobernig löst die Gipskarton-Wand, die den Hauptraum der Galerie in zwei annähernd gleiche Hälften teilt aus ihren Ankern und legt sie auf den Boden. An ihrer Stelle
hängt ein aus farbigen Stoffen zusammengesetztes Bild von der Decke, dessen Maße 3 x 4 Meter, den Proportionen des Videoformats entsprechen.

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.

Books are a meeting place. A sum of their many parts and artistic approaches. Form, concept, material and craft are bound together to create something rooted in its functionality, a process that often crosses over into the messier realm of art.

Beginning in the 1990s, the efflorescence of a technology-driven, ostensibly post-industrial “new economy” brought with it a revival of interest in an array of concepts and discourses relating systems and systems thinking that had animated both progressive utopian projects of the 1960s and 70s and the totalizing global geopolitical schemas of the Cold War.

This book is aimed at tracing a connection between the architecture of the Albanian tradition and the informal nature of the spontaneous transformations of contemporary Tirana. The attempt to establish a link between the opposing features of functionalist formalism, typical of the city that grew during the totalitarian regimes, and those of the informal architecture, which represent the constructive freedom of recent times aims to provide a critical interpretation that is applicable to recent interventions for the recovery of the existing built heritage.

he mysterious interplay of light and shadow has fascinated humankind since time immemorial. In Asia in particular this led to the development of the lively traditions of shadow puppetry. The exquisitely aesthetic puppets in this volume will lure the viewer into the world of shadow puppetry, from China to south and southeast Asia and from the Orient to Europe.

This publication presents and contextualizes the current Austrian contribution to the most important of all international art exhibitions. In his work, Mathias Poledna deals with connections between art and entertainment culture, modernism in architecture and design, the language of cinema and the history of exhibiting. His works are characterized by a rigorous examination of the medium of film and the function of images in the present and past.

Archeology of the future or a prospective past? Future II, or, as this tense is also called: future perfect is a paradoxical grammatical construction. Those who use this tense to make a statement about the world create facts that do not exist yet.

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

“Calls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,” writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57. Well-meaning equity and inclusion programs often simply “associate the mere presence of Black bodies with institutional change.” In Log 57, a 208-page thematic issue titled Black is . . . an’ Black ain’t . . ., 29 authors explore the complexities of Blackness as it relates to aesthetics and architectural pedagogy. As Fields notes, “In calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.”

Heimo Zobernig’s contribution to the Venice Biennial responds directly to the existing exhibition situation in the Austrian Pavilion, built in 1934 based on plans by Josef Hoffmann and Robert Kramreiter. The Pavilion’s structure, with its rounded classical arches and majestic visual axes, on the one hand, and clear, rational forms and modern construction materials, on the other, moves between the poles of historicism and modernism. At the same time, Zobernig’s intervention connects inside and outside, to create an enclosed site where one can linger and reflect on human presence in space.

The catalog was developed in close collaboration with the artist. It examines Atkins' practice in the context of contemporary art, literature and digital representation, and explores how the artist uses the displacement of language and script as well as music, voice and sound. Through videos, texts and drawings, the artist develops a multi-layered and deeply figurative discourse. The impossibility of an adequate representation of the physical, especially the corporeal - from computer-generated visual vocabulary to the most hackneyed poetry - is

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.

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.

Mierle Laderman Ukeles's manifesto ''Maintenance Art--Proposal for an Exhibition'' (1969) was a major intervention in feminist performance practices and public art. The proposal argued for an intimate relationship between creative production in the public sphere and domestic labor--a relationship whose intricacies Ukeles has been unraveling ever since. In 1977, she became the unsalaried Artist-in-Residence for the New York City Department of Sanitation, a position that enables her to introduce radical public art into an urban municipal infrastructure.

Following Institutions by Artists: Volume One and the eponymous convention from which both volumes take their name, this second anthology of texts continues the work of unpacking artists’ relationships to—and creation of—a larger set of structures that increasingly regulate, demarcate, and codify contemporary artistic practice: centres of economic and cultural capital; state and private apparatus; and sites of display, storage and production.

The monograph is based on studies of archive sources, interviews with artists, who cooperated with Valoch, as well as with himself, and on the research of current expert literature dealing with topics related to Central and Eastern Europe, and it represents the first summary of extensive activities of Jiří Valoch in the years 1965-1980.
