Editorial Dear friends of the Verlag für moderne Kunst, in the colors of the publication for the exhibition »Made in Germany Zwei« and in the midst of the participating artists, whom we list for you on the inside jacket cover, we would like to invite you to the presentation of our new publishing program. The remarkable and much discussed show in Hannover is reflected in this catalog, which in an outstanding print quality without doubt represents a remarkable cross-section of the current art scene in Germany! Our multi-faceted and highly diverse program accompanies you on your reading tour to very different areas: in the »Film der Antworten« [Film of Answers] you visit a Benedictine abbey; the »Erinnerungsort Turnertempel« [Memory Site Turner Temple] in Vienna and »inges idee« and the Department for Public Appearances will take you out into the public space as far as »Hong Kong Artists«; or with »10 000 Hours« you step out of the gray area between art and handicraft directly into the exciting world of design, »MADE 4 YOU«. The catalogs of the Kunsthalle Wien take you back to the beat generation with William S. Burroughs, and to the bright, poetic parallel world of the circus.

These are just a few examples. Just as varied and exciting are the artistic media, which consist of drawing (»First International Faber-Castell Award for Drawing«), painting (monographs of Strawalde, Rainer, Krauskopf, Solari and many more), collage (»Manifesto Collage«), photography (Candida Höfer), film, installation, action art, sculpture, art in public space and much more. Our publications are devoted consistently to contemporary art and to the current art scene. We invite you to take part in highquality exhibitions and get to know the monographs and solo exhibitions of the artists. Together with Nuremberg students and their professors, you can celebrate the 350-year anniversary of the oldest art academy in the German-speaking world. Take a look around! We are convinced that you will make some interesting discoveries in what we have to offer. At the end of the preview we have put together some highlights from our back list for you. You can obtain our books in all good book shops, or you can order them directly from our website. We look forward to hearing from you! Your Verlag für moderne Kunst

Made in Germany Zwei Internationale Kunst in Deutschland

The catalog »Made in Germany Zwei« accompanies the second major exhibition jointly curated by Sprengel Museum Hanover, kestnergesellschaft and Kunst verein Hannover and offers an overview of the work of young German and inter national artists working in Germany.

»Made in Germany Zwei−an outstanding art event indeed« David McAllister, Minister President of Lower Saxony, preface

»Assigning art its position and yet granting it every liberty!« Joachim Gauck, German federal President, preface

Similarly to five years ago, this exhibition format is conceived as a kind of »anti pode« to the documenta and showcases 44 positions. The diverse and impressive works are presented by way of numerous depictions and concise descriptions. In the catalog, structured into six chapters exploring current questions and working methods, art historians describe thematic and formal focal points and contextualize the presentation and interpretation.

Manifesto Collage Defining Collage in the Twenty-First Century

The technique of collage has for quite a while been undergoing a renaissance: this is true both of the traditional methods of glueing, painting over and alienating found images, and of the principle of sampling through the use of new, computer-based media. The private art collection »About Change, Collection« by Christiane zu Salm concen trates on works in which the principle of collage is the main focus of their artistic action. This includes works by many renowned international artists. The extensive publication »Manifesto Collage« deals with collage in a very wide range of genres and media, and contrasts works from the beginning of the 20th century with current works. It provides an overview of the tradition and development of a central artistic form of expression.

International academics, including Horst Bredekamp, Henning Ritter, Werner Spies and Matthias Winzen, have contributed in-depth essays to create a standard work on the collage of the 21st century in this publication rich in pictures.

MADE 4 YOU Design für den Wandel / Design for Change

»MADE 4 YOU« illustrates the significance of design as a central component of social and technological upheaval in the 21st century and raises awareness of its role as a driving force for positive change. Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog design and co-editor, is one of the world’s leading figures in the field of strategic design. In the catalog of the eponymous exhibition at MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, Vienna, he explores together with Thomas Geisler−curator of the MAK’s design collection−trailblazing projects by internationally active design agencies from various fields of research and industry. New concepts for mobility, digital con vergence, life and fun, life and work, health, and survival show how excellent design−going beyond aesthetics and functionality−is able to offer sustainable and successful solutions to the social and economic challenges of our time. Experts from these six subject areas answer the question: What makes for successful design today? What does pos itive change mean and what can strategic design achieve? How and where will the products and services of the future be created? How can we tackle resource

shortages and social problems? And what do solutions for improvement mean in this context?

Der nackte Mann

With numerous examples of works featur ing the male nude, the catalog spans the period from Classical Modernism to present-day pieces. The overview of the tradition of the artistic subject in the 20th century shows the impressive spectrum of artistic work devoted to the naked man. Initially only relevant as a subject in a mythological context, artists start experi menting openly with the male self-nude around 1900: the unclothed male body goes through identity crises and phases of sovereignty as well as attempts to deconstruct traditional depictions of mas culinity. Alternative concepts of manhood and viewing the male body with desire are also examined, along with the cult and instrumentalisation of the body.

The list of artists spans eleven decades of art history and a correspondingly wide diversity of artistic positions: from Egon Schiele to Ron Mueck and John Coplans, from Lovis Corinth to Matthew Barney, from Erich Heckel and Karl Hofer to Eric Fischl, from Paula Modersohn-Becker to Maria Lassnig and Elke Krystufek, from Oskar Kokoschka to Gelatin, from Anton Kolig to David Hockney and Robert Mapplethorpe and many more.

The Circus as a Parallel Universe

Curtain up for the world of acrobats, clowns and exotic animals! Contemporary artists introduce us to the world of the circus and focus on a wonderful location of place of cognition of the world, of surprises and sensations, a place of poetry, but also of excitement and anxiety. Apart from animals and acrobats, it is above all the figure of the clown that has always provided inspiration to art in its complexity between good and evil, funny and sad. The circus, as a parallel world, has found a role as a projection surface, above all in the different genres of art−such as film, literature and the visual arts. Fascinated by the colourful (parallel-) world of acrobats, clowns, artists, animal tamers and musi cians, large numbers of international art ists borrow forms, metaphors and figures from the rich visual repertoire of the vivid world of the circus.

The catalog reveals a brilliant collection of curios of the place of longing that is the circus, which always also implies an alter native to social conventions, and as such crosses over the narrow frontiers of the circus ring. Classics such as »The Circus« by Charlie Chaplin or films by Federico Fellini are shown, along with works by Ulrike Ottinger and very recent works by Erwin Wurmor Clifton Childree. Participating Artists: Diane Arbus, Matthew Barney, Julien Bismuth, Rhona Bitner, Peter Blake, Olaf Breuning, Bernhard Buhmann, Alexander Calder / Carlos Vilardebo, Charlie Chaplin, Clifton Childree, Charles & Ray Eames, Federico Fellini, Daniel Firman, Thilo Frank, Jeppe Hein, Roni Horn, Anna Jermolaewa, Anna Kolodziejska, Tomasz Kowalski, Patricia Leite, Zilla Leutenegger, Ulrike Lienbacher, Jonathan Monk, Bruce Nauman, Ulrike Ottinger, Marion Peck, Ugo Rondinone, Julian Rosefeldt, Joe Scanlan, Elisabeth Schmirl, Deborah Sengl, Cindy Sherman, Simmons & Burke, Kristian Sverdrup, Javier Téllez, Joe Wagner, Martin Walde, William Wegman, Nives Widauer, Erwin Wurm, Rona Yefman

Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz have designed a photographically pictorial artist’s book which focuses on Berlin cemeteries. In a combina tion of photography and painting they consider the uniqueness of the park-like cemeteries in Berlin, which are used as leisure and recreational areas. Bachmann and Banz turn these places of melancholy and calm into an aesthetic experience by »making emotions visible«.

Cildo Meireles and Antoni Muntadas divided the space of the Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp vertically with a transparent partition. On one side they built a pile of sugar, on the other a pile of salt. The effect is like two mountains touching each other but made of two different materials—both of them, obviously, white. It’s a wonder ful collaboration referencing friendship, conversation, landscape, humor, walking, climbing, and much else besides.

This extended new edition of the out-ofprint publication of the same name, from the year 1996, appears on the occasion of the death of Friedrich Kittler. Along with an introduction, it contains an extensive and unabridged interview with Stefan Banz and Kittler’s unusual text skiagraphia, the shadowed text from 2005. The book viv idly conveys how the perceptive, provoca tive and mischievous scientist thought, the manner in which he spoke, and reveals the things that interested him. It is a highly entertaining introduction to his philosophi cal, literary-historical and media science way of thinking.

Aldo Walker (1938−2000) is one of the great artists whose significance has to this day not been fully appreciated. He produced an amazing oeuvre, which ma terialized particularly in two outstanding series, namely his »logotypes« (sculpturelike experimental configurations) and »pictograms« (figurative line pictures). They are among the great undiscovered highlights of international art in the 1970s and 1980s and display impressive independence in terms of conception, expression and realization. Stylistically they embody a strange homogeneity; style and a lack of it are combined in a new way and create something that had never been seen before.

It is well known that Duchamp is widely represented in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and that he conceived his final work for it, produced secretly over two decades. It is less well known how extensive the cooperation was between him and the museum, since his patrons, Mr and Mrs Arensberg, were looking for an institution to house their collection and put him in charge of this search. Duchamp became a co-designer of the modern department of the museum, which was just being built, and this at the same time enabled him to install his own works so exactly, as was only pos sible through an intimate familiarity with the architecture, the collection and the aesthetic concept of the building. The book tells the story of this cooperation and illustrates the aesthetic resonance between Duchamp’s works and the place where they found their home.

Candida Höfer Haus Ludwig

A total of 528 works from the collection of the deceased Ludwig benefactors, today permanently enhance the Cologne Col lection: »From 1957 onwards we sought to create real highlights in museums with our purchases, and after 1968 we knew for sure what drove us: we wanted to plug information gaps. We wanted to make the public aware of things that generated movement and expanded horizons«, stated Peter Ludwig. This passion for collecting also shaped the immediate private surroundings of Irene and Peter Ludwig. In their home, built in 1953, the artworks were part of an impressive ensemble of art treasures from all continents and any number of epochs. These include the first purchase by the Ludwig couple in the field of Classical Modernism: an early work by Karl Hofer, »Nach dem Bade«, from the year 1912; also works by August Macke, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Lyonel Feininger, Alexej von Jawlensky, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns and Jackson Pollock. In addition, Peter and Irene Ludwig had old doors, glass panels, grates and ceramic tiles built into the architecture as spolia.

Candida Höfer, who has gained interna tional renown with her photographs of public spaces such as museums, libraries, waiting rooms, zoos and spa hotels, pho tographed the interiors of the couple’s pri vate Aachen home before nine important works were moved to their new location in the Museum Ludwig. In her unmistakable style Höfer reveals how art and life were intertwined in the Ludwig home. The pho tographs bear witness to the keen senses and high level of expertise of Irene and Peter Ludwig, who created constellations in which the artworks engaged in dialogue with each other and with other objects.

Man’s favourite toy−the car. As a cult object and symbol of individual freedom, it is the medium of mobility par excellence and the vehicle for expression of lifestyle and luxury. At the same time the car stands as a threat to our planet. The ruthless exploitation of resources, destruction of the environment, traffic gridlock, accidents. How long can this keep on, we ask ourselves anxiously. An object that plays such a large role in the life of the

art or life aesthetics and biopolitics curated by_vienna

What does art do with life or what does life do with art? Merging together art and life was one of the great aims of the avantgarde in the 20th century. Technical and social revolutions were intended to lead to an allround regenerated life, and this preferably through art. Re-examining the connections between work, economy, knowledge and politics has been the subject of numerous biopolitical approaches in recent years. More and more do life and work become one and the same. What began as a flexi bilisation of the working world has led to a totalisation of work and life. Work is the guarantee for social recog nition, the guarantee for an existence in

the social sphere. The question is raised as to how participation in the social sphere is structured for those who have no access to it. What is the situation with art in this context? Where does art stand vis-à-vis life? And where does art stand concerning social conditions, and thus the production conditions of art? »Art or life« and the impossibility of seeing art and life in opposition to one another, opens up an exciting artistic confrontation with a subject that is highly topical.

Burroughs

The Art of William S. Burroughs Cut-ups, Cut-ins, Cut-outs

William S. Burroughs (1914−1997), icon of the American Beat Generation, fascinated the public primarily by virtue of nurturing an image as an excessive, drug-addicted writer, who in a bizarre William Tell-esque stunt accidentally shot his wife. Admired as a revolutionary and homosexual intellectual, he influenced countercultures from the Acid scene to Punk and also found late popularity in the young New York art world of the 1980s and 1990s. He established a new form of writing, namely the »cut-up« method, in which he intuitively assembled text fragments into open, associative narrative structures. The book hinges on this method of col lage, on the thin line thus created between language and visual art. It is considered the most significant aspect of William S. Burroughs’ work.

Alongside the legendary »Shotgun Paintings«, the catalog shows cut-ups in various media such as text / image col lages, photomontages and audio-tape experiments. Moreover, with photographs, books, catalogs and ephemera, it casts a glance at the crossover character of William S. Burroughs’ work between literature, image and sound that influenced large sections of mass culture, music and digital sampling techniques.

William Seward Burroughs was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied at Harvard University, graduating in 1936, before subsequently studying medicine at the University of Vienna for a short time. In the 1940s he met Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg and went on to co-found the Beat culture, with »Naked Lunch« considered to be one of its key works.

Amor Psyche Aktion – Wien The Feminine in Viennese Actionism

Viennese Actionism focused attention on individual freedom and helped create greater tolerance, both in the sexual and interpersonal sphere. The effects of the cultural shock triggered by the rebellion of Actionism, which was also against baroque Catholicism and the sacrosanct family, can still be felt today. Next to the Actionists Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muehl, Günter Bus and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, today well known interna tionally, the women, with their efforts to change things in the revolutionary 1960s, remained to a large extent unknown. Through their artist partners, whom they supported also with physical actions, they became involved in the Actionism.

androgynous, which consciously or subconsciously is contained in the work of the Activists. In-depth essays offer an enthralling basis for the academic analysis of the subject matter.

In this artist book box of a very special kind, fullformat illustrations are presented of collages by Kenian artist wangechi Mutu, who today lives and works in New York and was invited by the Staatliche Kunsthalle BadenBaden to put on a solo exhibition. Particularly impressive are the (female) body images made from parts of found illustrations, plastic pearls, pictorial parts and other objects. despite a poetic beauty, these images are unsettling and stimulate discussion of terms such as social status, role be havior, gender, sexuality and skin colour.

Rainer Ganahl I wanna be Alfred Jarry

As of the end of the 19th century, the bicycle revolutionized mobility for the masses; for the avant-garde it was the em bodiment of the mechanized Modern age. Multimedia works by artist and bicycle enthusiast Rainer Ganahl create an allusive bicycle panopticon. Here, liter ary man and proto-Dadaist Alfred Jarry serves Ganahl as an historical figure of identification; his grotesquely exaggerated literary visions of super potent, pumped-up cyclists paint a bleak picture of humanity’s

future metamorphosis driven by technol ogy. Ganahl also references the work of Marcel Duchamp.

editor Ingried Brugger, Heike Eipeldauer

But in his »Bicycle Manifesto 2011« the artist also draws a parallel to the highly topical and controversial issues surround ing environmental sustainability and the creation of more environmentally-friendly transport for the future; and therefore examines the utopian status held by bicycles today.

»I don’t believe in principles, only in the fundamentals, and I am sticking to those«, he once said, knowing that his path was not compatible with others, and certainly not able to be categorized according to some or other isms. He was against a style or even participation in a movement; he was far more interested in an idea and a stance, shaped by his identity. Padhi Frieberger is undoubtedly consid ered one of the most radical pioneers and original artists in the post-War Austrian art scene. However, »Everyone is talking about it, and in fact no-one actually knows it«, as he once summed up this situation in relation to one of his works. This is the first comprehensive monograph with exhibits from all his creative phases, offering a chance to get to know the

impressive wealth of Padhi Frieberger’s ar tistic oeuvre. In the dreary post-War years in Vienna, Frieberger not only brilliantly staged himself, thus becoming one of the founding fathers of staged photography, but was also involved in the various art scenes: as a painter, photographer, object artist, poet, musician, philosopher, dancer, political activist and subversive action ist, anarchic personality and passionate (peace) dove breeder, staunch vegetar ian, true nature lover and nuclear bomb opponent. In September 2012, the first compre hensive monograph will be available with exhibits from all phases of his career, allowing an insight into the impressive bandwidth of Padhi Frieberger's artistic oeuvre.

With120 large-format reproductions of works from across the entire spectrum of Rainer’s oeuvre and including the series from the 1970s to the present, including video pieces from the 1970s, seven death mask overpaintings entitled »Kistenwal halla« from the Frieder Burda Collection, crayon and ink drawings, oil paintings and overpaintings. Once again an exhibition and publication of the Rainer Museum give an insight into the rich and diverse life of the artist.

»Rainer’s cosmos is more colorful and richer than any classification could cap ture, and goes far beyond his important position in overpainting. Despite their different appearances all the elements of his oeuvre share a form of direct expres sion. We can discern and sense his clear signature it in the silence of the overpaint ings or the expressive stance of his fingerpaintings, as we can in the beauty of his »Cosmos«, »Geologica« and »Veil« images. His style is apparent for all the different approaches he takes to the found images, be it hesitant or assertive. Most certainly, the style is always exciting and powerful.« (Helmut Friedel)

Taking as its title »Up From the Skies«, the catalog presents Manfred Wakolbin ger’s artistic oeuvre, his sculptural and photographic output over three decades from 1980 to the present. It presents sculptures from his early series »Sputnik« (1986−1990), his glass and copper pieces (1990−1995), and his »Placements« (2001−2008), »U_F_Os« (2009−2012), »Forces« (2010−2011) and »Travelers« (2009−2010). Photography and photo collage are im portant elements of Wakolbinger’s artistic work. For several years now, the Austrian artist has had his sculptures virtually integ rated in various urban and rural spaces in the form of photo collages.

No matter whether Manfred Wakolbinger bends, solders, photographs, digitalizes or mounts material, his sculptures and pho tographs never fail to touch the observer. They surprise us with unknown spaces, tempt us into exciting worlds, send us on fantastic journeys, confront us with the inside and outside and with our own area of influence or even make us part of the sculpture. It is Wakolbinger’s curiosity and enthusiasm for the unknown, the still undis covered, that the artist makes the theme of his works. The comprehensive catalog is the first de tailed monograph that offers a representa tive overview of the multifaceted artistic works of Manfred Walkobinger.

Hans Kupelwieser Reflections

Hans Kupelwieser (* 1948), honorary award winner of the State of Lower Austria and since 1995 Professor at the Graz University of Technology, became known above all as a sculptor and later for his works in the public sphere. His work focuses on the border area between two- and three-dimensionality, in which photography plays just as important a role as sculpture.

An important role is also played here by the dialectics of presence and absence, positive and negative, manifested in parti cular in his photograms. The monograph, conceived retrospec tively, is devoted to both the photographic and sculptural work of Hans Kupelwieser.

Before Clemens Wolf began studying painting in 2002 at the Kunstuniversität Linz, he was active as a sprayer in the graffiti and street art scene. In the mean time he works in the studio, but the public space continues to be the source of inspiration for his painting, installations and objects. An intensive examination of spaces and unassuming, hidden and abandoned »nonlocations« plays a crucial role in Wolf’s work: railings, fences and nets on darkprimed canvases are frequently recurring motifs which, while keeping the viewer at a distance, do not completely block out the view of what lies behind−of empty houses awaiting demolition or derelict factory premises that have lost their function. For the strict grids that Clemens Wolf varies and re-stages in his diverse paintings, he

uses templates and cut-outs deployed in varying ways. This play with such netting is also transferred by Clemens Wolf to his installations, to construction fences covered with gold, to shopping carts painted with oil and sinking into the floor of the exhibition space, or to fences that are placed within the space, triggering a new spatial experience. This first detailed monograph with the work series »Holes N Grids«, »Deforestofences«, »Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt«, »Opened Space«, »Behind Freedom / Silent Guards« and »The Great Mess« demonstrates the already great diversity and creative energy of the young Austrian artist Clemens Wolf.

Maison de Plaisance Rosemarie Trockel and Paloma Varga Weisz

Rosemarie Trockel and Paloma Varga Weisz will for the first time design an exhibition together in which they not only strive for the interaction of their works with those of the other artist, but also engage intensively with the special location and atmosphere of Schloss Morsbroich. One third of the 100 drawings, installations and pottery pieces have been created specially for the rooms there. Similar materials used by both artists −such as ceramics or drawings−allow a close web of relationships on certain subjects to be made out: the person, the reflection on one’s own deeds and action (also in an art context) and the specific problems of female art in a traditionally male-dominated art world. A compact network of reflections on one’s own view point, on the artistic approach and on the conditions is established in this interplay.

Rosemarie Trockel is one of the most wellknown contemporary international artists, with roots in North-Rhine Westphalia. She was born in 1952 in Schwerte and grew up in in Leverkusen-Opladen.

Arno Rink’s master student at Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts from 1995 to 1997, Peter Krauskopf turned his back on classic painting and pursued a career in color wall reliefs. As soon as the Wall came down, the artist spent a considerable period in the United States and, influenced by the works of Post-Painterly Abstraction he saw there, formed an abstract visual language in a process of painterly reduction. Peter Krauskopf’s current pictures expand this abstract color-field painting to include

the European art-historical topos of »landscape and Romanticism«. Krauskopf reconceives this association and lends it visual form for the observer. In the series »Schaukabinett« at Neues Albertinum in Dresden Peter Krauskopf is presented as an artist represented in the collection. In their essays, Gwendolin Kremer and Uta Grundmann explore the artist’s painting method and philosophy.

Strawalde Jürgen Böttcher Maler und Regisseur

The retrospective by painter and film director Strawalde, alias Jürgen Böttcher, is a contribution to German post-War art history that critically recontextualizes the primary and secondary paths an art work takes. It features a selection of his paint ings and drawings, films, video diaries and Polaroids, over-paintings and over-painting films, collages, assemblages and print graphics−and the mutual permeation of these media. Such a show combining all these different fields is a first, despite the fact that both in painting and film Strawal de is among the prominent German artists who also garner international attention.

Strawalde records historical and current disasters and paints pictures of how reality could be, counter-images, in order to bear the reality. Cynicism is foreign to him. He bases his art on »pain memory« to this day. What makes him stand out from contemporary art, and perhaps isolates him from it, is his courage to create works of beauty and his visual formulations of a clear utopia.

Nicole Six and Paul Petritsch bring every thing they own−both items necessary for daily life and the results of their work−to the Kunstverein Medienturm, Graz. Here we find piles of toothbrushes, books, computers, beds, tables, chairs, clothing, cars, even apartment keys, bank cards and passports without any recognizable classification system. They have been stripped of their original function, listed in an inventory and made public in sculptural form. In assembling this collection, in the transfer and performative rearrangement of the objects, the artists highlight the mediality of things.

Susi Jirkuff Rainy Days

In »Rainy Days«, Susi Jirkuff presents an intimate parallel world, far from media hype. In a 2-year process, Jirkuff filtered the flood of images and information per ceived by her from newspapers, television and the Internet, in order to reclaim her »own work«. Jirkuff breaches a »hole« in the reality conveyed by the media, through which an unseen, presumably non-present everyday world becomes visible. In doing so Jirkuff undermines the mechanisms of the mass media by transforming their images in drawings into personal moments, animating these and in turn integrating them into the media context in videos and installations.

The approach of the work is to examine the inside edges of these »holes«; what is meant by this are emotional, private, poetic moments and narrations that are dissolved into images. The works are developed form the following ideas: which reality is more real; to what extent are me dia images already so internalized that you can no longer recognize the difference between your own experiences and the images; to what extent are fantasy and the imagination determined by prefabricated images; to what extent do commercial pa rameters determine the media reality and what does this imply for the recipient?

30 Rooms 30 Artists

Space in contemporary art and the great diversity of current positions on this topic are the focus of the catalog that accompanied the exhibition »30 Artists / 30 Rooms«. It presents both rooms designed by the artists and works that address the issue of how we experience space, without necessarily requiring a physical space of our own. The spectrum ranges from space we can experience physically, architecturally or thanks to installations through to the ‘inner’ psychological space, from stages created for fictitious narratives through to sociological, political and not least media spaces. The exhibition was jointly curated by four different institutions to coincide with Nuremberg’s »Year of Art« in 2012 and attests to the strong presence of contemporary art in the city.

Film of Answers A film installation by Peggy and Thomas Henke

»Film der antworten« is a film installation by Peggy and thomas Henke; a consid eration of the existential questions of life. the film is based on a series of onetoone interviews conducted by thomas Henke with twelve nuns from the Benedictine abbey of Mariendonk in the lower rhine region of Germany between 2004 and 2009. the fourhour film documentation contemplates the concept of life which the Sisters follow. »Film der antworten« reflects upon the complex perception of emotional proc esses, inner inquiry and orientation. It is a reference to the longing for answers to questions on purpose, guilt and justice, ways of understanding, companionship and eternity.

the accompanying publication considers the film project’s arthistorical, theological, philosophical and cultural dimensions in great detail. In addition to striking images of the shoot locations and various arrange ments of single frames from the film, the complete texts (the Sister’s answers) also form part of the publication. the authors’ innovative texts and excellent design by awardwinning designer Jenna Gesse render the book an integral part of the artistic synthesis that is »Film der antworten«.

Human Capsules Eight female artists from the Ursula Hauser Collection

Human Capsules: The term refers to both the body and the surrounding space, be it the intimacy of a private room or protection of a house. Precisely this state of being imprisoned in one’s own body or in the world reveals itself as an existential dimension in the more recent work of numerous female artists. Whereas the view of the female body was always a male one and its lebensraum determined from the outside, since the mid-20th century female artists have emancipated themselves from their male counterparts and come up with their own creative ideas. Human Capsules brings together eight significant positions, some of which

have unjustly fallen into obscurity or, like Loredana Sperini for instance, have still to be discovered. The exhibition centers on first-class groups of works by Louise Bourgeois and Maria Lassnig, surrounded by exquisite pieces by six other female artists in the collection, namely Phyllida Barlow, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Rachel Khedoori, Carol Rama, Loredana Sperini and Alina Szapocznikow.

Saâdane Afif Another Anthology of Black Humour

French artist Saâdane Afif (born in 1970) won the renowned Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2009 and had his first solo show in a German museum context: at MMK Zollamt in Frankfurt. The exhibition title was culled from André Breton’s Surrealist oeuvre »Anthologie de l’humour noir«, written in 1940. In his work, Afif explores African influences on the European avant-garde and forges links to French Modernist art and literary history. By means of a coffin model made in Ghana he takes up a recent practice in that West African country of figurative coffins designed to bring the deceased to

mind. The shape of the coffin model at the heart of the show in MMK Zollamt refers to Centre Pompidou and bears the title »L’Humour Notier«. In the approach typical for his work, Saâdane Afif then requested famed champions of the art world to contribute texts on the coffin and then developed his own ideas on this basis. The texts are part of the show and provide the contextual key to understanding the piece.

Bernhard Frue PHESBUK

For the comprehensive PHESBUK project Bernhard Fruehwirth changes his name. The starting point of the project is formed by a picture cycle with an artist’s book created between 2008 and 2010 as an art project, in which Frue has cut out faces of people from newspapers and magazines and in part reworked them. What is left over from the flood of infor mation— as a kind of residual information, separated from its original context—are numerous faces, which, arranged accord ing to subjective criteria in the artist’s book, again lead to an over-stimulation of visual information. The first comprehensive catalogue reflects the work of recent years and introduces a new work cycle. In its formal

orientation towards the classical genre of the portrait, the catalogue plays with a current interpretation of self-portrayal and poses questions about identity and con text, but not ignoring the formal criteria of the causally painting and drawing work of Bernhard Frue. Starting from this point, a series of video works and drawings are presented that show the loss of the private sphere, the dissolution of existence and the percep tion and self-reflection in changed and changing surroundings. By bringing together the draft character of the draw ing and the simple handling of video, Frue gives us possibilities of perceiving the »fetish of the face«.

Uriel Orlow Time is a Place

The Swiss artist Uriel Orlow (born in 1973 in Zurich) represented Switzerland at the 2011 Venice Biennial and has ta ken part in numerous international group exhibitions. He is known for his multilay ered, modular multimedia installations combining video, photography, sound, text, drawing and print. His works address the impossibility of depicting or telling history. Orlow explo res the relationship between individual and collective constructions of the past, present and future and produces spatial or pictorial foundations for history and memory. At the same time he investigates the overlapping of documentation and fiction: »Time is a Place« includes his most recent works »The Short and the Long of it« (2011−2012), »Remnants of the Future« (2010−2012) and »Plans for the Past« (2012).

This exceptionally designed, multi-part publication consisting of individual ma nuscripts allows Uriel Orlow to express his views in discussions with art scholars and curators, providing fascinating background material on how the indivi dual works came about and describing personal experiences and encounters on the research trips of the artist.

edition Kunsthaus Centre d’Art CentrePasquArt Biel / Bienne

Despite their intellectual aspirations, Orlow’s works remain highly accessible. He combines the various artistic media in a way that allows different interpretations and which encourages viewers to supple ment these with their own experiences.

Subverting Disambiguities Curatorial Practice Shedhalle Zurich 2009−2012

»Subverting Disambiguities« was the theoretical leitmotiv and practical chal lenge during three years of joint curatorial responsibility at the Shedhalle and is also the guiding principle of this publication. The book is intended to be a reflection on those themes, exhibitions and artistic projects that were conceived by Anke Hoffmann and Yvonne Volkart between 2009 and 2012. »The themes dealt with in practice and in the present book are a kind of inter section of our subjective ‘desires’ and priorities, which we believe have social and personal relevance and will meet and

challenge the everyday reality of critically minded people. We want to make that visible which is off the beaten track; the remote, suppressed, irrational; that which is on the dark side or traumatically recurs; but also the flipside; the absurd, humor ous, and cheerful, which can be equally as tenacious. Grasping this resistance in things and in contexts was and is our de clared aesthetic undertaking, not only on a thematic level.« (Anke Hoffmann and Yvonne Volkart, editors)

Ever since the foundation of the Department for Public Phenomena in the mid-1990s, the four artists (Peter Boerboom, Gabriele Obermaier, Carola Vogt and Silke Witzsch) have focused on staging the personal opinions of citizens as a public phenomenon. With a lot of wit or rather a playful and skillful approach to bureaucratic processes, the Department has repeatedly managed to turn passersby into protesters and create »visual opinions«. Since many citizens still find it hard to state their opinions in public, the Department performs an important

function, motivating people to take part in campaigns and articulate what they think. (from the preface by Wolfgang Ullrich, summarised) The book documents major Department initiatives from the years 2009 and 2011.

inges idee Projekte 2006−2011 Projects

inges idee−consisting of the artists Axel Lieber, Hans Hemmert, Thomas A. Schmidt and Georg Zey−has existed as a group in Berlin since 1993 and develops international projects in public spaces. inges idee has made a decisive contribution in the development of spatial and site-specific art in Berlin and assumes a recognised position within the current art scene. This new publication presents sculptural interventions in the public space which involve an invitation to »play along«. These works by inges idee are dynamic−they generate tension between their own and our ideas of scale−and animate our physi cal perception. They move in and through

the changes in perspective that define ourselves and which characterize us at the same time. Art in the public space can displace a found context to open up the view onto other aspects of reality. If this succeeds the normal sequence of public life is interrupted for a moment and the viewer is given an opportunity to reflect on what he is unexpectedly confronted with. inges idee puts this into practise in a very direct way. This is about a new definition of the location and the relationship of the viewer to the things that he perceives and experiences there.

Grafik-Design im dritten Jahrtausend« thus both presents their works and sets the standards. »Suite 16« is room 16 of Sep Ruf’s marvelous Academy architecture, home to the Graphic Design class. On the visual level the publication seeks to present to a wider public the students’ best works. The written pieces are intended to live up to the international ex pectations that the teaching in Nuremberg

also aspires to. In short interviews, renowned designers answer students’ curious questions with good humor and high expectations. From Germany to New York to South Korea, they include Tina Berning, Eike König, Sarah Illenberger, Christoph Niemann, Leanne Shapton, Sulki and Min, Jesse Auersalo, Thomas Mayfried, Kleon Medugorac and Stefan G.

350 years Academy of fine arts nürnberg

The exhibition of the Kunstvilla−Museum for regional art presents a selection of Nuremberg participants in the national competition of students at German art colleges from 1983 to 2011. What approaches seemed in the 1980s or in the 1990s to be deserving of awards, and which ones today? What are the effects on a young artist of taking part in a competition? To what extent do awards help an artistic approach to be further developed? The works shown result in a cross section of the once young and today established Nuremberg scene.

Portrait shots of all artists taking part were made in recent months by Nuremberg photographer Stephan Minx for the exhibition and the accompanying book. With works by Matthias Böhler, Susanne Carl, Bernhard Dagner, Gabriela Dauerer, Jürgen Durner, Christian Faul, Peter Fidel, Lisa Haselbek, Hubertus Hess, Bernd Klausecker, Chang Min Lee, Adrian Ma ryniak, Thomas May, Wolfgang Karl May, Thomas Pietzsch-Woitas, Thomas Röthel, Michael Roggon, Christina Ruhland, Stefan Saffer, Karl Veitz, Ute Zeller von Heubach and Benjamin Zuber.

350 Academy of Fine Arts Nürnberg

The Academy of Fine Arts Nürnberg was founded in 1662 as the first art academy in the then German-speaking world and is celebrating its 350th anniversary in 2012. The extensive commemorative publication, with articles by professors, curators, jour nalists, art scholars and students alike, not to mention numerous historical images, documents the Academy’s history and accompanies the many activities taking place at the Academy and the museums of the city of Nuremberg in celebration of the anniversary year. Subdivided into three large sections, in the historical part the publication spotlights art production and teaching in the context of the circum stances for the Academy, namely how they adapted to reflect new social condi tions. In the second part the book reflects the potential, wealth of ideas and creativ ity of the students and teachers, including written and visual presentations of the classes and the heads of the workshops

humorously presenting their work tools. The third section casts a glance at the Academy from the outside. What does the free space an academy offers mean today and how can we master the art of commu nicating art? »The book aims to show that even after 350 years, the Academy is still incredibly young,« comments Academy President Ottmar Hörl. The publication was designed, as was to be expected, by the Academy’s own Graphic Design / Visual Communication class. The large middle section in par ticular was reserved for the teachers and students, who were able to use this free space for artistic experimentation.

»Libera viva« is the result of a very close one-year relationship between Elisabeth Hölzl and the rooms of the former Leonar do Bianchi psychiatric hospital in Naples. The structure consists of a series of pavi lions connected by long, identical looking corridors bordering onto inner gardens. The grounds cover an area of 20 hectares in total, and they lie abandoned today, their future uncertain. The work of Elisabeth Hölzl consists of a series of photographs and various contemporary documents, such as a map of the grounds, the archive photos and the effects register, in which the personal belongings taken off the patient when they arrived were entered, along with the reason for the person’s admission.

New Releases

»And it is true that in her photo series about the Ospedale Leonardo Bianchi in Naples, Elisabeth Hölzl never puts herself at the service of pure narrational docu mentation but uses the possibility of com position, abstraction, perspective to on the one hand create a certain distance to reality and also to lift out the location from a chronological order and in a certain way, even if this may seem to be a paradox, from its spatial-topographical localization. It is only when the photographs are com bined with a text section of the book that the full complexity of the conceptual work of Elisabeth Hölzl becomes apparent.« (from the text by Silvie Aigner)

Die Geschichten der Christiane Möbus

Having collected sufficient Muscovy duck(!) feathers, in 1971 Christiane Möbus boldly and giddily headed for the clouds and dedicated her life to art. She documents the flight in photographs and interprets it as »das unnötige Verlöbnis der Frau Holle mit dem Schamanen« (Mother Hulda’s unnecessary betrothal with the shaman). Caught up in the international avant-garde spirit of 1970s art, in her early works Christiane Möbus explores the visual power of simple objects and actions. Her stories develop both from the fringes of everyday life and from conscious deci sions. Her works consist of words, found items and built objects, are a mixture of artificiality and reality that, sometimes in

a temperamental chatty tone, sometimes boldly acrobatic, but always from precise observation, come together and, lined up, read like the pages of a diary. Her works have a language that breaks conceptual rules and creates poetic images. These are pictures of personal memories, everyday visions, role plays, intuitively condensed constructions with room for imagination.

The Essence of Landscape The World Piece by Piece

Alfred Graf gives the traditional concept of »landscape painting« an entirely new mean ing. For him, the landscape is not just the motif, but similarly also the material. Alfred Graf was born in 1958 in Feldkirch, Austria and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. For years he has been artistically exploring the sediments and rock formations of landscapes all over the planet−both in his native state of Vorarl berg and the US state of Kentucky, on the island of Sylt and on Vesuvius. On extended trips he collects various soil, sand and rock samples at each location, which he later crushes in his studio and

applies to canvas according to a number of creative concepts using binders such as wax or resin−coming from the same region as the geological materials. Alongside his pictures, Alfred Graf also produces three-dimensional objects such as cubes and cuboids, which he forms by successively layering the materials. The artist creates abstract depictions of the landscapes in terms of their constitu tion, inner structure, and colors, which shape them and inform their character. In this way Alfred Graf creates pieces in which he expresses both the essence of a region and of himself.

In her letter to maths genius Grigori Perelman, Ursula Neugebauer writes that there is a point that interests her as an artist, namely »the thinking space as a place of beauty«. In her works in a variety of ways the artist offers the observer spaces that can certainly be observed from the outside, but which she encourages us to enter, willing us to explore the set pieces she has staged

there. Ursula Neugebauer’s art promotes dialog and asks more questions than it offers answers. The publication presents selected works particularly from the last five years, accompanied by texts offering worthwhile food for thought.

Not Vital »Let One Hundred Flowers Bloom« Not Vital’s title for his large-scale installa tion in Beijing »Let one hundred flowers bloom«, consisting of a hundred steel lotus flowers, refers to a propaganda slo gan by Mao Zedong. The latter used the slogan in 1956 to call for more freedom of thought and discussion within the Party. He countered the criticism he himself had evoked with a brutal suppression cam paign, costing the lives of 520,000 peo ple. Not Vital offers strong and conclusive metaphors for this historical event in his

installation, on display in Europe for the first time at Kunstraum Dornbirn. The open lotus is an Eastern symbol of freedom of thought and unfolding, its closed form a symbol of the opposite. The artist, born in 1948 in Sent, Engadin (Switzerland), lives and works in New York, Sent, Patagonia (Chile), Agadez (Niger) and China.

She clearly shows not only the absurdity of some specialist scientific activities, but also their significance and that of human existence per se and questions that which we perceive to be reality. In her mixed media installation at Kun straum Dornbirn she explores the global phenomenon of weather balloons. Every day in every country and region on Earth, meteorologists release latex weather balloons into the sky at 00:00 and 12:00 GMT to collect data on temperature, air

pressure and humidity. As such, Bruder mann’s project is a global one, temporarily overcoming all national borders and en mity, and opens up a fascinating utopian world of art, science and nature beyond arbitrary boundaries. Nin Brudermann (born in 1970 in Vienna) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

The (raw) materials, objects and equipment they use alternate between pure materiality, mediality and imagery and create a sense of tension between the literal presence of things and both referential and contex tual aspects.

The publication covers works and exhibi tions from the last ten years and thus traces a development starting from the specific analysis of the duo’s own artistic means in order to tap a field of activity that takes as its theme processes of open-ended engenderment.

Aldo Solari

Basle-based artist Aldo Solari (born in 1947) consistently focuses on the theme of the human figure. He does not treat humans as individuals, but as a shape or metaphor. As such Solari combines a painterly sensorial treatment and striking effect with a deeper meaning. His motifs of uniformed figures, dolls and competi tors highlight his interest in themes such as the daily »rat race« or manipulative power games. His painting keeps a per fect balance between cool sensoriality and critical distance. Yet despite the formal strictness, painterly aspects still remain important for Solari. For instance,

he is interested in the atmospheric alternation of color and light and the rela tionship between figure and background, which changes from picture to picture. The publication accompanying the ret rospective at Kunstmuseum Solothurn fea tures works from 1989 to 2012, including paintings, works on paper and objects.
