Stephanie Kiwitt took these atmospherically dense photographs while travelling through the state: on walks, from her car, or from the train. They show glimpses of towns, villages, and landscapes, often put together as sequences that communicate a shift in perspective or convey movement...

Art and technology know lots of tricks. They can spot little sings in different parts of society. These weak signals might show us new trends or big changes coming. They enable us to consider the unknown future not as a threat, but as a resource for new narratives.This little pocket book, edited by Lukas Feireiss and Florian Hadler and designed by Studio Yukiko, playfully identifies some of these "Weak Signals". As a glossary of new terminolog...

Bannkörbe waren eine einzigartige Form der Bienentechnologie, die vom 17. bis zum frühen 20. Jahr- hundert u. a. in Norddeutschland, insbesondere in Niedersachsen, verbreitet war. Neben ihrer Funktion als Nistkorb dienten Bannkörbe mit ihren bizarren charakteristischen Masken der Abwehr von bösen Geistern. Ihr Aussehen sollte im Halbdunklen zudem Honigdiebe und Bären vertreiben. Aladin Borioli hat eine umfangreiche Feldforschung in Text und Bi...

Das fotografische Werk von Ulrich Wüst kann aus verschiedenen Perspektiven wahrgenommen werden. Die Beobachtungen, die er in seinen Bildern festhält, mögen letztlich ihre Wurzeln in der deutschen Teilung und deren Überwindung haben. Sie betreffen jedoch immer auch universelle Phänomene gesellschaftlicher Wandlungen und deren materielle Erscheinungsformen. Die scheinbar lapidaren, höchst präzise komponierten Bilder sind Ergebnis langer visuelle...

While the artistic practice of Andrzej Steinbach includes the medium of photography, sound, video works, sculptures as well as installations, he finds his focus in the field of photography. The publication Andrzej Steinbach: Models and Protocols therefore presents a particular focus on the new series of works that deal with the aesthetics of tools. They are called, among others, Untitled ( Door frame from the former Registration Authority for ...

The Great Repair" is an oxymoron. The title captures the convergence of two seemingly contradictory principles: the revolutionary ambition for systemic change and the evolutionary act of repair. Despite the justified (postmodern) skepticism toward revolution as a concept of rupture, we must not abandon our aspiration to bring about profound transformation. The philosopher Eva von Redecker formulates this thought along similar lines in this iss...

Die Künstlerin Asta Gröting arbeitet seit über drei Jahrzehnten mit dem Medium des Bewegtbildes und der Skulptur. Sie produziert Videos über das Verhältnis zwischen dem menschlichen Körper und dem Raum, zwischen der Beziehung von Mensch und Tier sowie Tieren untereinander. Ihre Filme, Performances und Skulpturen richten den Blick auf Oberflächen, um zu ergründen, was sich dahinter verbirgt. Jedem Werk scheint die Frage zugrunde zu liegen: Was ...

Can design cater to a diverse society? How does it respond to the disparate demands of the people using it? Debates about inclusion and participation have been an important part of the design discourse since at least the 1980s. Contemporary design approaches expand on the concepts of Universal Design and Design for All, reinterpreting them in a community-based, participatory design practice. Design for All? Inclusive Design Today gathers toge...

Revolutionary Romances? Global Art Histories in the GDR looks at East Germany's relations- rooted in a spirit of friendship and revolution-with its socialist "sister" countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The concepts of "international solidarity" and "friendship between nations" had an inherent geopolitical agenda: as such, they not only determined East Germany's foreign policy but also supported a multitude of transcultural contacts ...

Zygmunt Rytka (1947-2018) was an intermedia artist associated with the Polish neo-avant-garde of the 1970s and the independent artist community of the 1980s. In his conceptual work, he combined a philosophical and artistic study of nature and perception with ironic reflections on contemporary media and politics. The artist saw the camera as an instrument that creates a convention and begins to influence reality. The book-the first monograph of...

Marking the hundredth anniversary of the first surrealist manifesto and the founding of the Bureau of Surrealist Research in Paris in 1924, the volume is dedicated to the surrealist movement as well as the networks it engendered and the artistic stimuli it provided in the twentieth century. The idea was for the...

Running through the book like a bassline is a twelve-hour conversation between the musician FM Einheit (FME) and media archaeologist Siegfried Zielinski. The volume is an exploration of the world of sound in the form of a playful dialogue. In his responses, FME uses language to create the characteristic echo that constitutes his universe of sounds, tones, noises, and music. At the same time his expatiations also resonate in the echo chamber of...
