Headdresses and head coverings are among the most powerful vehicles of cultural identity, referring variously to nationality, subculture, gender, ethnicity, religion, and profession. Yet cultural identity is also continuously evolving. “Hybrid Heads” is a project by Daniela Dossi and the open collective studio Manoeuvre,

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. For this he is not only meshing the many aspects of his oeuvre with a new series, but also juxtaposing this with works by international

"This guidebook is my contribution to look at the positive side of the art world and give first-hand advice, tips and food for thought for a fresh perspective," explains Noe.

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.

Die Sahara ist die größte Wüste der Welt, gefüllt mit Sandmeeren, Kiesebenen, die sich bis zum Horizont erstrecken, Sandsteinbergen und Vulkanen, die bis zu 3.000 Meter hoch sind. Im Dezember 2022 und Januar 2023 unternahm die Fotografin Barbara Seyr zusammen mit dem Schriftsteller Raoul Schrott und seinem Team eine Reise dorthin. Von Algier nach Tamanrasset, vom Mittelmeer i

Felix Orsini-Rosenberg zählte zweifelsohne zu den prägendsten Personen, die zu einer aufgeschlossenen Denkweise über Architektur und ihre Entwicklung nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg in Kärnten beitrugen. Er wirkte aber auch über den regionalen Bereich hinaus in seiner stets auf wesentliche kulturelle Inhalte ausgerichteten, zugleich bescheidenen,

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.

‘Professor M looked down at his paunch and sighed. At 56 his physical decline, long established, hadn't got any easier to endure. Work didn't help. And neither would this meeting. In fact, he was dreading it. If she had shown his letter to the Dean he was done, and he knew it was his own doing. What a fool. He knew he had been kidding himself. Times had changed, and he knew that too.

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

"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.

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.

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,

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

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,

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

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.

Neue Straßen überwinden das Leitbild der autogerech­ten Stadt und zeigen so die wiedergefundene Bedeutung öffentlichen Raums auf. So werden aus reinen Verbin­dungs- und Erschließungslinien multifunktionale Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsräume.
/
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.

These creative spaces were incubators of radical thinking, in which artists could exchange provocative ideas. They were welcoming environments for artists, dancers, designers, writers, and musicians pushing the boundaries of cultural and social norms.

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 surfaces are polished to a mirror finish creating a space for reflection and projection.

Susan Philipsz is one of the internationally most renowned contemporary artists. Her art explores the boundaries between sculpture and sound, between materiality and immateriality. Her works frequently react to the places where her exhibitions are staged, connecting to past events and creating spaces of resonance for memories and emotions.

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.

159 Anekdoten, zusammengetragen aus dem weit gespannten Beziehungsnetz des 1998 verstorbenen Dieter Roth, erzählen die Geschichte eben dieses Künstlers, den viele Fachleute zurecht zu den genialsten unserer Epoche zählen. Was die aufwändige Recherche des Herausgebers Aldo Frei hier zu Tage befördert, was sich der wohl letzte Universalkünstler an halsbrecherischen Unternehmen, an künstlerischen Experimenten,

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.

Jasper Johns (b. 1930) is arguably the most influential artist living today. Over the past 65 years, he has produced a radical and varied body of work marked by constant reinvention. Inspired by the artist&;s long-standing fascination with mirroring and doubles, this book provides an original and exciting perspective on Johns&;s work and its continued relevance.

Pasolinis Schriften zu Politik und Gesellschaft zählen zu den Höhepunkten der italienischen Literatur. Sie sind bekannt für ihre scharfsinnige Analyse der Situation Italiens rund um die 'zweite industrielle Revolution'. Voraussetzung dafür war Pasolinis immer wieder gegen die kommunistische Partei Italiens geltend gemachtes Bekenntnis zum Marxismus als einziger Lösung 'nicht nur für die Gesellschaft, sondern für den Menschen schlechthin'.

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.

The Fountains of Za'atari is the articulated project that artist Margherita Moscardini has been developing since 2015 from her study of refugee camps as urban realities meant to last.

We design for life, death and posterity, all together - while understanding who and/or what is permissible to kill or let die. We try to understand why water is a false dragon and how it gives and takes life. We are encouraged to do some push-ups.

The mandragora plant is one of the best recorded gynaecological herbal substances. It is also the only plant in the European context historically depicted as a half-human-half-plant-creature. The mandragora was, is and continues to be haunted by stories.

Almost All the Flowers in My Mother’s Garden is a 144-page work containing more than 100 pictures of flowers, mainly photographed in the author’s mother’s garden, and intimate memories of mothers by anonymous daughters.

The Albanian Handbook for Art and Education is an ongoing, bilingual and freely accessible publication dealing with art and education in Albania, tracing a history that is still only partially accessible and complex to unravel.

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.

For their inaugural Venice edition, Index Art Book Fair will bring sixteen art book fairs from around the world presenting their personal selection of art and artists publications, accompanied by an exciting public program.

Decolonizing Art Book Fairs aims to rethink through the existing and speculative frameworks of organizational practice in the art book fairs.

What is the work of the African creative intellectual? Whether branded as ‘native’ by Fanon or ‘negro’ by Cruse, the vocation and commitment of Africa’s creative intellectuals and their mode of ‘self-writing’ has been under examination for much of the post-colonial era. Bekolo’s new text is a valuable addition to this important library.

This book follows the first exhibition of Robilliard’s notebooks, ‘Disorganised Writings and Sketches’ at Rob Tufnell in Cologne in April 2019. Rob Tufnell announces a new publication of extracts from the notebooks of the poet and artist David Robilliard (b.1952 – d.1988). After his premature death from an AIDS-related illness in 1988, Robilliard left a large number of notebooks in the care of his close friend and fellow artist Andrew Heard.

Linda Carreiro and Lan “Florence” Yee refute the notion that what cannot be apprehended is worthless. Their glossary may be read as a manifesto encouraging us to pay more attention to the blurs and vagueness of our environments and thoughts, and to our societies’ invisibilities – prompting us to open our creative minds and welcome uncertainties and the unknown with generosity.

Midnight Deer Abstractions is a collaboration between artist Geoff Farnsworth and poet Erin Knight to produce limitless in-betweens and vast spaces where slight variations contain all the precisions of colour and diction, rendered immediately nebulous. Creating spectral selves, they invite us to look “between foreground and background” for the traces and sketches of identities, whose edits are vague, always disappearing to be retraced, resketched.

The Kunsthalle Linz presents itself as a white cube par excellence: a simple, empty and windowless room with white walls, gray floor and a ceiling that floods the room with light: a playground for big projects in keeping with common exhibition practice.
