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.

Weiß bemalte, nackte Körper, die Gesichter vom Betrachter abgewendet, so fotografiert Nadav Kander (*1961 in Israel) die Modelle seiner jüngsten Serie. Die Accessoires sind spärlich, die Ästhetik ist reduziert, gleichwohl erscheint das Arrangement der meist üppigen Körper barock.

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.

Pop, Witz und Ironie charakterisieren seine Arbeit, die aus Lebensthemen wie Wetter, Segeln, Natur, Musik und Sprache schöpft. Auch die Themen Schönheit und Erotik durchziehen Attersees gesamtes Œuvre.
Die Ausstellung Feuerstelle zeigt Attersees Werk in all seinen Facetten – mit Fokus auf die ersten zwanzig Schaffensjahre. Während frühe Werkphasen mit grellen Farben und Bildmotiven an die Pop-Art erinnern, eignet sich der Künstler ab Mitte der 1970er-Jahre einen gestisch-expressiveren Zeichenstil an, der später ins Malerische geht. Collagen, Grafiken, Fotografien, Filme, Musik und Gemälde stehen gleichberechtigt neben Erfindungen, Kunsthandwerk und Produktdesign. Neuere Bilder ergänzen Attersees frühe Arbeiten und machen die Stringenz in seinem Œuvre nachvollziehbar.

As it’s inevitable that we’ll deal with different types of systems throughout our lives, issue number 18 focuses on precisely this. Many artists create their own systems and methods; setting up rules for creating their art, sorting their materials, following specific schedules, creating new worlds. In a way, such structures provide us with a framework for stretching the possibilities of our creative freedom.

Bodies are agents and products of history. Bodies are history made flesh, but they are also primary tools for understanding the past, present and future. History is a choreographed sequence of gestures that makes bodies intelligible to each other. Every gesture is a link in a chain binding us to gender, race and social class.

African art history continues to be dominated by Western scholars who set the tone for the field. Their cultural frames of reference, which they cast as universal, exert influence on the interpretation of African art, social conditions, and cultural milieu. The knowledge produced in most institutions and academic or independent publishers outside of Africa communicates the extant system in place within those localities. In other words, the audience for such forms of knowledge production is not (necessarily) in Africa.

Carefully curated and collated, their iconographic essay, a Bilderatlas of sorts, explores in depth the notion of “hide,” and of what forces normative relations to the visible serve to veil. How can, how should these images be looked at? And how do they unsettle the contemporary gaze?
