For more than 35 years, Jochen Lempert's photographs have stood out as a singular oeuvre within contemporary art. The trained biologist's gaze is marked by constant wonder. At first, and not without irony, at the history and forms (and warps) of our cultural fascination for the inexhaustible potential of plants and animals. He is increasingly interested in the phenomena of perception and how it is translated into images, to the life forms of flora and fauna and their analogies to his own creative process. For all their photographic minimalism - always captured with the simplest means of an analogue camera or light-sensitive paper - Jochen Lempert's pictures are full of poetic power and a profound knowledge of the Natural Sources of our existence. Along with the purist and reduced hanging of his works in exhibitions, artist's books are one of his favourite ways of presenting his work. Following the publication of "Phenotype" in 2013 by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, "Natural Sources" is Jochen Lempert's second major artist's book.Text: Kathrin Schönegg.

Design for Cultural Commoning explores the role of design-based thinking and practice in the construction of cultural common spaces.Torange Khonsari shows how the commons in the cultural domain can be a driver towards addressing a range of critical community and societal concerns, from citizen apathy and lack of trust, to extractive production of cultural objects exhausting our earth's resources and exacerbating the gap between the powerful and the powerless. A rich and engaging volume, it combines theory, methodology and practice to bridge disciplinary boundaries, from commons, urbanism, psychology, politics, anthropology and sociology, with practical design methodology.

A meeting between Pissarro and a Danish Golden Age painter proved decisive for French Impressionism This book adds another dimension to our knowledge of the emergence of French Impressionism. In approximately 1850, the later 'father' of French Impressionism, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) met the Danish painter Fritz Melbye (1826-69) in Pissarro's hometown on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, at that time a Danish colony. This book argues that Melbye is a 'missing link' between the Danish Golden Age and French Impressionism - and the now almost unknown Melbye thus had a significant influence on the beginning of Impressionism. In 2017, the Ordrupgaard museum in Denmark held the exhibition Pissarro. A Meeting on St. Thomas on the occasion of the centenary of the sale of the Virgin Islands. This extended and revised book presents new research that the exhibition gave rise to.
