Simon Dennys Interesse gilt der Entwicklung und den Widersprüchen unserer durch und durch mediatisierten Gesellschaft. Der 2012 mit dem Baloise Kunst-Preis ausgezeichnete Künstler untersucht die ästhetischen Verwandlungen von Fernsehgeräten und anderen Telekommunikationsdisplays im Lauf der letzten Jahrzehnte,

The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication with two conversations between the artist and the journalist Adiaratou Diarrassouba and Thomas Lax, curator at MoMA in New York, in which she discusses the new photo series Achievement, her work with AI image programs, and the role she ascribes to them in the creation of new archives.

Susan Philipsz is one of the internationally most renowned contemporary artists. Her art explores the boundaries between sculpture and sound, between materiality and immateriality.

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.

The Secret Agent is Douglas’s adaption of the 1907 political novel of the same title by Joseph Conrad. Set in London in 1886, the book recounts an anarchist’s failed plot to bomb the Greenwich Observatory and is considered

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.

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.

Städte sind Orte der Vielfalt. Diese Vielfalt ist einer der Schlüssel, den großen Herausforderungen der Menschheit gestaltend zu begegnen. Wie werden aus passiv Konsumierenden aktiv Gestaltende? Welche sind die Orte, an denen

In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared fascination. Departing from this imbalance,

Der Berliner Schlüssel von Bruno Latour liest sich als wunderbar klarer Text, der nicht nur Latours Verständnis unserer Gesellschaft verdeutlicht, sondern gleichzeitig auch einen für viele Berliner alltäglichen und doch mysteriösen Gegenstand bespricht: Diesen Schlüssel mit doppeltem Bart, der vor 100 Jahren

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,

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.

"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. This arrangement invites explorations of sensuality and intimacy and encourages direct interaction with the subject. Through calling us to examine the subtle interactions between the body and the books, it offers new perspectives for artistic, philosophical and personal reflection on matter, media and the human condition.

This publication is the late outcome of a small symposium that took place in 2013 at the subject area time and space arts at the Academy of Fine Arts at Uniarts Helsinki. It presented research and analysis of conceptual traces in Godard’s oeuvre and its relation to contemporary art practices. Beyond the invited contributors from this symposium, the project expanded into a larger collection of writings by contemporary artists and curators on Godardian references, influences and (re-)discoveries, centering around a particular phenomenon

This concertina opens in vibrant color to reveal in progressive spreads of two, four and six pages a rich sensory exploration of Edward James’ surreal jungle garden Las Posaz, in Mexico. Lush vegetation intertwines with the constructed buildings and staircases of James’ imagination and with Douglas’ own, in experiencing this garden and the rich culture of Mexico.
