Hito Steyerl: I Will Survive
A massive, long-overdue retrospective on the multimedia image critique of Hito Steyerl, influential artist and author of Duty-Free Artand The Wretched of the Screen Over the past 30 years, through video and installation, the immensely influential German artist and writer Hito Steyerl (born 1966) has been tracking the ways that images have mutated--from the analogue image and its manifold possibilities for montage to the fluidity of the split digital image--and the implications these mutations have had for the representation of wars, genocides and the flow of capital. "We are no longer dealing with the virtual but with a confusing and possibly alien concreteness that we are only beginning to understand," writes Brian Kuan Wood of the digital visual worlds that the artist presents. At nearly 500 pages, this book--the first substantial overview on Steyerl--looks at multimedia installations and film projects of the past ten years, as well as earlier works, all of which are united by the artist's unflagging interrogation of the politics of the image.

Gogh Modern
The paintings of Vincent van Gogh remain as relevant as ever, exerting an ever-profound influence on generations of artists. Gogh Modern attempts to explain this influence through example, presenting an overview of major postwar artists whose work displays a strong relationship with van Gogh or whose work it would be hard to imagine without the existence of van Gogh. Thus in the paintings of Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning and Anselm Kiefer we can clearly recognize the methodologies and expressiveness of van Gogh. Uncompromising artists such as Arnulf Rainer and Bruce Nauman have, like van Gogh, steered art in a new direction. Arranged thematically, Gogh Modern offers plenty of opportunity to compare and contrast van Gogh and his modern-day colleagues, putting notions of tradition versus innovation, influence and inspiration in an entirely new perspective.
Kirchner and Nolde
The artists as explorers: the Expressionist artists Kirchner and Nolde studied non-Western lifestyles and incorporated them into their artistic projects. Between "armchair anthropology" practised in the museums and "field-work anthropology", which also took place in the colonies, both artists contributed to the construction of an (imagined) "other", offering an alternative to bourgeois, "civilised" society in Germany. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde both spent time between 1910-11 studying objects and materials in ethnographic museums, but before long they expanded their investigations to include travels to colonial regions (Nolde) and the staging of "exotic" studio environments (Kirchner). The publication examines how both approaches evolved through an interplay between art, early German anthropology and colonial enterprise within the German Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. It contains not only paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, posters and documents, but also a variety of texts offering a broad overview as well as relating a specific narrative.
