Viktoria Binschtok's photographic works are physical echoes of the image flows produced by our digitally connected world. Her works become part of the larger net that Binschtok consciously casts over divergent visualities dissecting the vastness of our daily digital image production. The precise layering of her large-scale photo-objects generates visual connections with both subtle and apparent references to current realities-immaterial concepts which thus take on a physical shape in new contexts of meaning, creating feedback loops between online and offline.The book opens with Three People on the Phone, an early series Binschtok photographed on the streets of Tokyo in 2004, visualizing how the absorbed presence of the people immersed in a dialogue with their devices connects the physical space of the city with the channels of the new, digital world-an interaction that is constantly reiterated in Binschtok's work.Moscow-born artist VIKTORIA BINSCHTOK (*1972) studied Photography and Media Arts at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. Today, she lives and works in Berlin. In addition to institutional solo exhibitions at the Museum Folkwang Essen, C/O Berlin, and Kunstmuseum Bonn, she has participated in numerous international group exhibitions.

Ruttkowski;68 celebrates its 10th year anniversary! As homage to his early deceased friend, DJ Sven Ruttkowski, born in 1968, Nils Müller founded the gallery in his friend's former apartment at Bismarckstrasse 68 in Cologne, in 2010. The gallery quickly expanded in Cologne and now also has a space in Paris. Ruttkowski;68 broadens the notion of art through radical authenticity, references to subcultures, pop culture as well as art history. This book provides an insight into the most exciting exhibitions and sets a platform to tell the stories of artists, friends, and supporters of the gallery. A space that is more than just an exhibition space-a space where not only creating art, but a way of living is celebrated.Ruttkowski;68 represents the following artists: Hendrik Beikirch, Jenny Brosinski, Asger Carlsen, Francesco Igory Deiana, Lars Eidinger, Philip Emde, Jårg Geismar, Henrik Godsk, Antwan Horfee, Mark Jenkins, Paa Joe, Conny Maier, Stefan Marx, Filippo Minelli, Christian Rex van Minnen, Joakim Ojanen, C.O. Paeffgen, Parra, Ricardo Passaporte, Frédéric Platéus, Devin Troy Strother, Stefan Strumbe, Pablo Tomek, Fabian Treiber, Henrik Vibskov, Thomas Wachholz, and Daniel Weissbach.

The legacy of the art and cultural scientist Aby Warburg offers many subjects for reassessment. Almost unknown until now are the artifacts he collected on a journey through the southwest of the US in 1895/96 and donated to the Museum für Völkerkunde in Hamburg (today Museum am Rothenbaum). The results first unfolded in Warburg's famous lecture on the "snake ritual" of the Hopi (1923). Following Warburg's transdisciplinary approach, this publication examines his guiding principles in assembling his collection as well as his reading of Pueblo art and culture. It pays tribute to the works and their artistic significance and sheds light on the circumstances of acquisition in the sociopolitical environment of the Pueblo communities of the time. The contemporary fascination with the snake ritual is also a topic. Set against this are the previously neglected perspectives and strategies of Pueblo leaders to regain interpretive sovereignty over culturally sensitive content and imagery.ABY WARBURG (1866-1929) is considered as the founder of a modern art history oriented towards cultural studies. His research was mainly concerned with the investigation of the afterlife of antiquity in the Renaissance, which he recorded in his iconic Bilderatlas Mnemosyne.

Nina Malterud is one of Norway's most prominent ceramics artists. Over the course of her five-decade-long career, she has developed a unique artistic oeuvre with references to traditional ceramic objects like plates, bowls, and tiles, but the emphasis is more on expression than on function. She explores the possibilities of clay and glazes in a free and undogmatic way, and is open to the visual results that can arise through controlled coincidences. The traces of the process are an essential part of her visual language. Sometimes the motifs are recognizable, but for the most part, she works with abstraction. The pieces radiate both tenderness and fragility, strength, and power. Combined with the materiality and weight of ceramics, the results are artworks with a strong sensory appeal.NINA MALTERUD (*1951) is a Norwegian artist. She studied at the National College of Art and Design in Oslo and works in Bergen, where she holds a professorship at the Institute of Ceramics of the National Academy of the Arts. Her sculptures are in collections of numerous Norwegian art museums.

Jari Silomäki's Atlas of Emotions is the result of an elaborate research process. For this, the artist - who is primarily known as a photographer - studied the stories of people who actively participate in digital discussion forums. Who are the people who hide behind alter ego names on digital platforms? Silomäki researched their backgrounds - also to find out how sometimes bizarre opinions are formed in the first place. He compiled his research in a manuscript and had actors reenact this fusion of imagination and reality in his studio, interpreting the scenes and domestic environments. JARI SILOMÄKI (*1975) is a Finnish artist. He studied photography at Muurla College, Turku Art Academy and Aalto University School of Art and Design. Atlas of Emotions at Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki (2020) was his largest solo exhibition to date.

Published on the occasion of the Hawai'i Triennial 2022 (HT22), Pacific Century-EHöomau no Moananuiakea examines key art historical backgrounds and contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference for the Asia-Pacific region. Essays by the co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the framework of the Triennial around the fluid concept of a Pacific Century. A selection of texts by artists and scholars reflects upon the field of art history in the region. Also included is a newly commissioned conversation with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that continues to carve out a new discursive space where the marginalized can find agency. Participating HT22 artists-from Hawai'i, Asia-Pacific, and beyond-are highlighted in a dedicated section with an original introductory text and images.

As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munich-the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and life's work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuck-this unique volume integrates the artist's house as a category into the international context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts expressed in Richard Wagner's historical concept of the total work of art. (German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-3592-6) Houses featured (selection): Sir John Soane's Museum, London; William Morris Red House, Bexleyheath; Louis Comfort Tiffany's Tiffany House, New York City; Mortimer Menpes's flat, London; the Fernand Khnopff Villa, Brussels; Jacques Majorelle's villa and garden, Marrakesh; Kurt Schwitters' MERZbau, Hannover; Max Ernst's house, Arizona Exhibition schedule: Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, November 21, 2013-March 2, 2014

Spatializing Justice calls for architects and urban designers to do more than design buildings and physical systems. Architects should take a position against inequality and practice accordingly. With these thirty short, manifesto-like texts-building blocks for a new kind of architecture-Spatializing Justice offers a practical handbook for confronting social and economic inequality and uneven urban growth in architectural and planning practice, urging practitioners to adopt approaches that range from redefining infrastructure to retrofitting McMansions.These building blocks call for expanded modes of practice, through which architects can imagine new spatial procedures, political and economic strategies, and modalities of sociability. Challenging existing exclusionary policies can advance a more experimental architecture, one not bound by formal parameters. Architects must think of themselves as designers not only of things but of civic processes, complicate the ideas of ownership and property, and imagine new sites of research, pedagogy, and intervention. As one of the texts advises, "the questions must be different questions if we want different answers." Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. The work has been exhibited widely in prestigious cultural venues across the world.

This book brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by internationally renowned artist Enrique Martínez Celaya from 2005 to the present. Since his installation Schneebett at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2004, his work has changed formally, but it has remained intellectually and emotionally challenging. Born in Cuba and now living in Los Angeles, Martínez Celaya combines art with philosophy, literature, and science. Published to accompany the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, this book conveys Martínez Celaya's work as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape that the artist traverses. ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA (*1964) worked as a physicist before turning to art. Today, his works are exhibited worldwide, including at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig.

Heinz Mack hat nicht nur als einer der Begründer der Gruppe ZERO in Düsseldorf 1957 Kunstgeschichte geschrieben, sondern ist bis heute als Maler und Bildhauer aktiv. Der Katalog, der anlässlich seiner Einzelausstellung im Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden in Wuppertal erscheint, nimmt gezielt sein plastisches Schaffen in den Blick. In zahlreichen Installationsaufnahmen im Innen- und Außenbereich der spektakulären Parkanlage treten Macks Skulpturen in spannungsreiche Verbindungen mit umgebender Architektur und Natur. Licht ist Macks zentrales Thema. Den Formenreichtum und die Materialvielfalt seines Schaffens erläutern die Texte anhand der Werkgruppen von Steinarbeiten, Stelen aus Holz und Metall, Metall-Reliefs und Paravents. Eine wichtige Würdigung des großen deutschen Künstlers zu seinem 90. Geburtstag.HEINZ MACK (*1931) gründete 1957 zusammen mit Otto Piene die Gruppe ZERO und machte Düsseldorf damit zu einem der wichtigsten Kunstzentren der Nachkriegskunst.

After more than 30 years of activity by the Royal Book Lodge (RBL), renowned art historian John C. Welchman provides the first study of this project that generated a loose network of international artists. He examines the history and artistic practices of RBL's collaborations, which produced a variety of intermedial experiments around the artist's books, including photography, ceramics, writing, and publications. Against the backdrop of the diverse cultural and political geographies of those involved, narratives of migration and travels around the world - some artistically inspired - unfold in the volume. Welchman takes up central themes of RBL, such as biographical construction, fiction, and control, examining its Situationist traditions as well as its exploration of socially pressing issues, such as the study of experiences of violence and remedies.ROYAL BOOK LODGE emerged in the late 1980s from a collaboration between artists Juli Susin and Véronique Bourgoin, and to date has brought together international artists and writers including Raisa Aid, Kai Althoff, Abel Auer, Linda Bilda, André Butzer, matali crasset, Guðný Guðmundsdóttir, Beate Günther, Tobias Hauser, Andy Hope 1930, Dorota Jurczak, Bruce Kalberg, Jochen Lempert, Roberto Ohrt, Jonathan Meese, Raymond Pettibon, Jason Rhoades, Lucia Sotnikova, Gianfranco Sanguinetti, and others.JOHN C. WELCHMAN (*1958) is professor of art history at the University of California at San Diego. He is the author of numerous publications on modern and contemporary art, including Modernism Relocated (1995), Art After Appropriation (2001), and Past Realization (2016).

World famous for timeless classics such as The Three Robbers and Moon Man, Tomi Ungerer is considered one of the most influential graphic artists, illustrators, and children's book authors. What is less well known, however, is that much of his drawing and graphic work was inspired by satirical observations of US society and politics. This beautifully-designed catalogue presents for the first time a cross-section from nine decades of his artistic work-from childhood drawings to collages and objects. Shedding new light on his work by making it possible to comprehend political and stylistic lines and breaks, it's all about freedom offers deeper insights into the artistic dimension of the "freewheeling" artist's extensive oeuvre. Featuring hitherto unpublished works, this catalogue identifies recurring biographical and sociopolitical motifs that Ungerer experimented with across genres-always informed by his ambiguous humor and cutting wit.A polymath and a provocateur, TOMI UNGERER (1931-2019) published over 140 books. He grew up in Alsace, France, and lived and worked in New York from 1956-1971. After spending several years in Nova Scotia, Canada. he moved to a farm in Southern Ireland in 1976.

Published by the interdisciplinary design studio MODU, this reader explores the space between the interior and the exterior. How does the design of interior spaces align with an urban world and vice versa? Where can the boundaries between the interior and the urban be drawn? What role does the environment play in this? For their research and design projects, Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem look at three major cities on different continents: New York, Rome, and Tokyo. MODU leaves behind the binary idea of inside and outside and rather understands architecture as an extension of the environment. Thus, it imagines a hybrid of urban space, architecture, and interior space. The book explores the different geographic locations and presents their own design projects. MODU is a Brooklyn, New York-based design studio working in architecture, urbanism, and interior design. It is led by Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem and focuses on thinking urbanism and nature together. In 2017, they won the Rome Prize.

Ever since electricity became ubiquitous artists have been fascinated by the manifold possibilities to create works with it. The catalogue Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art, which accompanies the opening exhibition of Kunsthalle Praha, explores how electricity has transformed artistic practice from 1920 to the present day, including cinematography, sound, kinetic and mechanical sculptures, computer-based art and immersive installations. A historical perspective emphasizes the fact that electricity, with its various usages-from artificial light to computing-has become a defining element of our societies.Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art includes an essay by Peter Weibel, the author of the exhibition concept, four thematic chapters written by the co-curator Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás as well as descriptions and reproductions of key artworks by artists, such as Mary Ellen Bute, William Kentridge, Christina Kubish, Zdenek PeSánek, Anna Ridler, Nicolas Schöffer, Jeffrey Shaw, Takis, Steina, and Woody Vasulka.

Offsetted traces the emergence of the valuation of nature. The book by the artist duo Cooking Sections unpacks forms of dispossession that are becoming more common through the protection-not only destruction-of natural environments. Through a series of artistic and architectural interventions, Offsetted ties into current struggles for climate justice worldwide, contesting neoliberalism as a savior of its own ecological contradictions. It challenges conservation models based on "natural capital," while proposing new spatial tactics to de-financialize the environment. Besides a photographic documentary and the works by Cooking Sections, the book assembles numerous contributions by interdisciplinary artists and scientists.COOKING SECTIONS was established in London in 2013 by Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe. Their practice explores the overlapping boundaries between art, architecture, ecology and geopolitics. They are currently nominated for the 2021 Turner Prize.

The Polish photographer and filmmaker Tomasz Gudzowaty is actually known for his perfection-clear compositions, precisely chosen image frames, carefully considered down to the last detail. However, the approach to his Sumo series is completely different. For his photographic tribute to the Japanese national sport Sumo, Gudzowaty confronts his subject with the rebellious aesthetic of "are-bure-bokeh", which means rough, blurred, out of focus. This style developed in Japan in the 1960s as a countercurrent to the prevailing norm of photojournalism of the time. With the help of photography, Gudzowaty attempts to create a visual language that is able to capture documents beyond words. With the publication Sumo he presents a previously unknown side of his artistic work. TOMASZ GUDZOWATY (*1971) is a portrait and documentary photographer and filmmaker. His work has been published in many magazines and newspapers, such as National Geographic and Vogue Italia. He has received numerous awards.

Ingo Gerken's monographic catalogue literally opens a new chapter in his series of works, Bibliosculptures. Images of open exhibition publications or art magazines become the object of investigation here. Seemingly randomly opened book pages create a play of forces or connections between text, object, and image compositions. By depicting these views of books in the book, the medium itself is both the object and subject of analysis - typical of Gerken's artistic practice.INGO GERKEN (*1971) completed his studies of Fine Arts at Muthesius University in Kiel and studied Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art. He lives and works in Berlin.

American photographer Nicholas Nixon is known for his large-format black-and-white photographs, in which he creates a special connection with the viewers by sharing intimate moments in life. For his most iconic series, The Brown Sisters, he followed four sisters over 46 years. His practice, however, encompasses a much broader spectrum, such as the simple life in the southern states of the US or landscape portraits of the rough industrial areas around Detroit. Beginning with the aspect of intimacy, this monograph provides the first overview of Nixon's oeuvre. It is a journey through the artist's life and work - at once distant and at times intimate and close - and also features new photographs.   NICHOLAS NIXON (*1947) works with portrait and documentary photography. He studied art at the University of Michigan and the University of New Mexico. He had his first solo exhibition in 1976 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Female View puts the focus on women fashion photography. Although this medium has been shaped by female photographers for decades, a large number of publications or exhibitions have focused primarily on the male gaze of the female body. Numerous female fashion photographers worked for influential magazines such as Harper's Bazaar or Vogue, thus shaping the style of their time. Using exemplary positions, this book traces the transformation of the photographic image from the 1940s to the present day: from the fashion magazine to the showroom and the coffee table book to videos and digital self-staging in social media today. On display will be works by: Lillian Bassman, Sibylle Bergemann, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Madame d'Ora, GABO, Ingeborg Hoppe, Nadine Ijewere, Liv Liberg, Ute Mahler, Charlotte March, Lee Miller, Sarah Moon, Amber Pinkerton, Elizaveta Porodina, Regina Relang, Bettina Rheims, Charlotte Rohrbach, Alice Springs (June Newton), Deborah Turbeville, Ellen von Unwerth and Yva.
