Beginning autumn 2011, Harpune Verlag Vienna will publish Herman Melville's masterpiece about the Great White Whale and his relentless pursuer Captain Ahab as a serial in 137 chapters.

"In the tumultuous business of cutting in and attending to a whale, there is much running backwards and forwards among the crew. Now hands are wanted here, and then again hands are wanted there. There is no staying in any one place; for at one and the same time everything has to be done everywhere."

(Beginning of chapter 72)

"Inmitten der Stadt der Trughaftigkeit folgt das Wesen dem Gebot von Abscheu und Begierde, und findet niemals Rast, die Gleichheit zu erkennen." Milarepa

Bending and fusing different genres of music, Al Qadiri has released a handful of largely instrumental albums that often imply narratives wrapped in a dystopian atmosphere, evoking an uncanny imagery of our increasingly oversaturated and disorienting information age. It is a simple yet complicated sound that owes as much to electronic music and video game soundtracks as it does to Russian composers and Arab musical traditions.

Edmund de Waal is a potter. His pots, plates, and vessels are the result of craft and mastership, but they are also so much more than that: they are experiments in form and function, abstractions of thoughts on silence and space, on repetition and failure, on substance and fragility, on memory contained.

The John Huston film Freud the Secret Passion (1962) presented the discovery of psychoanalysis as a detective story in which Sigmund Freud, played by Montgomery Clift, descends into the darkest depths of the psyche. (Engl.)

Everything you ever wanted to know about Hans Ulrich Obrist but were afraid to ask has been asked by the sixteen practitioners in this book. Spanning the beginning of his “career” as a young curator in his Zurich kitchen to his time most recently as the Co-Director of Exhibitions and Programs, and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery in London, the book is a “production of reality conversations.” It undertakes the impossible: pinning down this peripatetic curator, attempting to map his psychogeography so that silences may be transcribed. In a sense, it organizes a “protest against forgetting” and affirms the sagacity of an artist who told this dontstop curator “don’t go” when he “contemplated leaving the art world” for other fields—“to go beyond the fear of pooling knowledge”—in lieu of bringing other fields into the (then) hermetic art world.

Smoke Screen is a subjective exploration into the condition of digital screenship.

In Playground Land has tried to create a scene of being trapped in an insubstantial reality.

"The photographs taken by Georg Philipp Pezold document the etsate of an Austrian family that was driven from Vienna in 1938. After theiremigration to Paris the tax authorities sold a large part of the possessions left behind by the journalist Berta Zuckerkandl, her son, her daughter-in-law and her grandson Emile. The four of them were able to escape from France to North Africa." (Forward: Ruth Pleyer)
