Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Tolia Astakhishvilis (b. 1974 in Tbilisi, Georgia) installations fuse places and narratives in three dimensions, using sculpture, drawing, painting, sound, video, and writing. Her work unfolds as a series of nested interiors, collaged worlds within worlds where multiple registers intersect and collide. In this simultaneity, architecture becomes a structural material, responsive and unfixed, rewritten by the bodies and histories that move through it. The pictures in this book gesture towards an architecture of fracture and accumulation, that confronts the instability of perception, the afterlife of objects, and the difficulties of inhabiting this world at all.In a memoir-style text, written in dialogue with Tolias works, artist and writer Jacksun Bein charts the life of a child that refuses to fully exit the womb. Researcher Livia Polanyis email correspondence explores how memory lives on between time and language.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Relational Dynamics and the Hierarchies of RoleWhat does filmmaking generate beyond stories told through images and sound? What if the footage captured is secondary to that which comes into being among people in the process of making? Within the conceptual space of these questions, Rosa Aiello has brought together filmmakers Helin Gelik, Beatrice Gibson, and Ivana Mladenovic to respond in this new issue in the KONTEXT series. An essay by Yaniya Lee engages with Aiellos film works and her ongoing exploration of methodology and collaborative praxis. When films are made not about something, but according to a set of conditions of production, both real and constructed, the so-called silence recorded on set room tone becomes a condition for collective work, a practice of listening.The artist and filmmaker Rosa Aiello (b. 1987, Canadian-Italian) takes an experimental approach to her interest in structures; both social constructs, like the family, and the actual built world, like architecture and city infrastructure. Her works have been shown at numerous international venues, including Fridericianum, Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Zuerich, Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, ICA London, Anorak e.V, Kevin Space, Cittipunkt, and SculptureCenter.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Who owns the city?In Tulips, artist duo Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, alongside scholar Christina B. Hanhardt map a terrain where they explore gestures of authority and obedience in the public space within the urban context of gentrification and policing against marginalized queer communities.The work of Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings (b. 1991 in Newcastle and 1991 in London, live and working in London) deals with the socio-cultural and political structures that reinforce conservatism and discriminatory practices within and around the LGBTQIA+ community. In their works the artist duo explores how the queer communitys safe spaces have been displaced by political strategies and how a history of femininity and the colonized body in the transition to capitalism is shaped by rationalization of social reproduction and ownership of the self.Christina B. Hanhardt (lives and works in New York) is Associate Professor in the Department of American Studies. Her research focuses on the historical and contemporary study of U.S. social movements and cities since the mid-20th century, with an emphasis on the politics of stigma, punishment, and uneven development.KONTEXT, a series by DISTANZ, brings together artists and writers for an exchange between the worlds of writing and contemporary art.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In Tumbling Ruins, the artist Henrike Naumann, the art historian Angela Schoenberger, and the architect and design theorist Andreas Brandolini develop a project that draws discursive connections between Naumanns work Ruinenwert (2019), Schoenbergers research on Albert Speer, and Brandolinis postmodernist design theory.In the early 1990s, the artist Henrike Naumann (b. Zwickau, 1984, lives and works in Berlin) watched the far-right ideology as the predominant youth culture in her hometown. Her work reflects on the history of right-wing terrorism in Germany and the widespread acceptance of racist ideas in large segments of the population today. She scrutinizes the mechanisms of radicalization and how they tie in with personal experiences and youth culture. Studying the friction between antagonistic political convictions sparked by the ambivalence of personal aesthetic tastes, Naumann builds immersive installations that combine video and sound with scenographic settings.Angela Schoenberger (b. Kaufbeuren, 1945) wrote her dissertation in the 1970s on the new Reich Chancellery building as a central scene of the Nazis crimes and on Albert Speers theory of ruin value, interviewing the architect for her research. After the fall of the Wall, the former managing director of the Internationales Design Zentrum Berlin turned her attention to the structural transformation of the former East Germany and the emergence of new products and designs. Schoenberger was director of the Berlin State Museums Kunstgewerbemuseum, or Museum of Decorative Arts, until 2010.Andreas Brandolini (b. Taucha, 1951; lives and works in Saarbruecken and Petit-Rederching, France) was a cofounder of the avant-gardist New German Design of the 1980s. In 1987, his seminal German Living Room was featured at documenta 8; Jasper Morrison and Axel Kufus were his partners in the studio Utilism International. As a writer and lecturer, Brandolini calls for furniture that elicits or allows for stories and adamantly rejects the dictates of functionalism. In Tumbling Ruins, the artist Henrike Naumann and the art historian Angela Schoenberger develop a collaborative project that draws discursive connections between Naumanns work Ruinenwert (2019) and Schoenbergers research.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. On occasion of the 375th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia, the internationally renowned artist Ibrahim Mahama (b. Tamale, Ghana, 1987; lives and works in Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale, Ghana) delves into the history of the city of Osnabrueck as a center of the production of and trade in textiles, especially linen. Linen was not only sold as a raw material, but also used to manufacture apparel for forced laborers on plantations in the West Indies. And it served as a medium of exchange for prisoners from the coastal regions of the African continent. Mahamas research and exhibition project analyzes these intricate cycles of transfer connecting Central Europe and Western Africa that were installed in the shadow of colonialism. The Ghanaian artist wrapped the former Galeria Kaufhof department store building in downtown Osnabrueck in handwoven cotton fabrics and recycled jute bags: zooming out from local history and the experiences of war and the postwar period, Mahamas intervention embeds them in the context of global trade relations and power structures.The publication documents the installation TRANSFER(S), which was on public view in Osnabrueck, as well as the projects second part, a symposium held in Tamale, Ghana.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. I believe art re-ritualizes the everyday to reveal something fresh about our lives. This revelation is a vitality and it is a power to change the world.Pope.LPope.L (b. Newark, US, 1955; d. Chicago, US, 2023) was one of the foremost creators of political conceptual art in the United States. Among his best-known works rank his Crawl performances, for which the artistvariously wearing business attire, a dandelion in hand, or a Superman costumegot on his hands and knees to crawl through New Yorks streets for miles.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Jana Schulz (b. 1984; lives and works in Berlin) initiates encounters on film and in photographs with men previously unknown to her, in which intimacy emerges in the process of shooting: performative, shared, situational.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Identity, Conformity, and Self-AssertionQueer people in East Germany lived in a situation defined by government control, enforced public silence, and social invisibility. Although the GDR struck 175 of the penal code in 1968, many years before its Western counterpart did, 151 remained on the books, codifying queer people's unequal status. Despite gradual decriminalization, homosexuality remained heavily stigmatized both socially and politically. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the situation of queer artists did not improve significantly on the contrary: many artists from the GDR faced then threat of being forgotten.The connection between these two perspectives queer biographies and artistic forms of expression in the communist dictatorship remains largely unexplored to this day. The exhibition and publication project sheds light on queer positions in art from East Germany, delving into the question of how an artist's sexuality affected their work and professional development under the communist dictatorship. Retracing the lives and oeuvres of the artists Toni Ebel, Andreas Fux, Harry Hachmeister, Jochen Hass, Dorothea von Philipsborn, Erika Stuermer-Alex, Rita Tommy Thomas, Juergen Wittdorf, and Egon Wrobel, the book illustrates the widely different ways in which they handled the political and social constraints of their time.With essays by Birgit Bosold, Dorothee Brill, Maria Buehner, Christine Heidemann, Stephan Koal, Christoph Tannert, and Raimund Wolfert.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Haunted by the UnseenSpecters haunt digital images: algorithmic creatures loom in photorealistic video-games, cryptids nest in datasets, and AI prompts bring ghostly figures to the scene.Shadow Creatures traces a long arc from the spirit photography of the nineteenth century to todays algorithmic phantoms to illustrate how images can conjure up beings that inhabit our personal, social, and political subconscious. It redirects our gaze from the promises of light to the shadows in which the spectral and nonhuman inform our perspectives on images and our shared visions.The catalogue illuminates how algorithmic processes engender distinctive ghostly apparitions that blur the boundaries between code, imagination, and projection.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A Pioneer of Media ArtThe American Bruce Nauman (b. Fort Wayne, US, 1941; lives and works in New Mexico, US) ranks among the preeminent visual artists of our time. For six decades, he has worked in an extraordinarily broad range of media, shattering the bounds of established genres and spearheading new ones along the way. His expanded conception of art encompasses wax casts, neon signs, physical contortions, word play, immersive audio and video environments, and the studio as a site of exploration. Nauman, who came of age amid the political and social upheavals of the 1960s, never abided by any rigid distinctions in art; instead remaining to this day, as he puts it, open to the possibilities of what art can be. Above all, Naumans work seduces and thrills viewers through a process-based approach which melds bodily experience with a wide variety of art forms.The publication enhances the pioneering artists largest survey exhibition in Asia to date, at Tai Kwun Contemporary in Hong Kong, with its multifaceted selection by the editors who have compiled interviews on and with the artist and his colleagues.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Human in FocusIn over four decades, Christa Mayer (b. Bad Kissingen, 1945; lives and works in Berlin) has created a singular photographic oeuvre.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. An air of confidence and vibrancy, but also vulnerability and fragility surround the works of the Iranian artist, photographer, and filmmaker Shirin Neshat (b. Qazvin, 1957; lives and works in New York). Central themes in Neshats art are identity, origin, and power structures. Her works are defined by a melding and broadening of the rich visual traditions of Persian and Western art.
