Andrea Büttner
In her artistic practice, Andrea Büttner combines art history with social and ethical issues. Since the early 2000s, she has been exploring a wide range of themes such as work, poverty, shame and care in monastic forms of coexistence, but also on arts and crafts as a political field. Examining the ambivalent tension between aesthetics and ethics, the internationally renowned artist uses various conceptual methods. Best known for her large-scale woodcuts, Büttner has since used a variety of media, including etching, painting, photography and video installations, glass art and textiles. For her publications and exhibitions, Büttner composes her works thematically to create site-specific ins...

Andrea Büttner
Andrea Büttner verbindet in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis Kunstgeschichte mit sozialen und ethischen Fragen. Seit den frühen 2000er-Jahren schafft die international renommierte Künstlerin Bilder zu Themen wie Arbeit, Armut, Scham und Fürsorge in klösterlichen Formen des Zusammenlebens, aber auch zum Kunsthandwerk als politisches Feld. Zur Sichtbarmachung dieser Themen, die sie immer wieder hinsichtlich ihres Spannungsverhältnisses von Ästhetik und Ethik untersucht, verwendet sie eine große Fülle von künstlerischen Ausdrucksmitteln. Bekannt geworden durch großformatige Holzschnitte erweiterte Büttner ihre künstlerischen Medien seither um eine Vielzahl. Dazu gehören, neben Radierungen, Malerei, Fotografien unter anderem Videoinstallationen, Bücher, Glasobjekte und Textilien. Für Ausstellungen und Publikationen verknüpft Büttner ihre Werke zu thematischen Gruppen und inszeniert diese als sinnliche »Erzählungen«, die sich sukzessive erschließen lassen.
Joachim Koester - Bringing Something Back
Danish artist Joachim Koester's new book, Bringing Something Back, centres on a series of "meditation tapes". The "tapes" explored the various twilight zones between waking and sleeping, and what can be brought back from such semi-darkened mental states in an exhibition context.Operating on the one hand as a catalogue, the book also sets out to expand this exploration in its own right.A visual essay, compiled by art historian, writer and curator Yann Chateigné, runs through the book and combines Koester's own works with a selection of archival pictures that visually extends the discourse of the "tapes", texts and artworks.Features an interview with an interview between Yann Chateigné and Joachim Koester.Exhibition at Bergen Kunsthall 26. January 2018 -- 18. March 2018

Individual Stories
Individual Stories is a refreshing and playful illustrated account of the collections belonging to 20 international contemporary artists featured in the Kunsthal Wein 2015 exhibition. Beginning with a visual collage by photo-based artist Marie Angeletti blending the artists objects, views of the exhibition, museum visitors and the community, this well-edited and -designed catalog portrays the rich relationship of artists to their personal collections. Color and black-and-white photographs accompanying essays and interviews with each featured artist provide a snapshot of the collection as both personal portrait and artistic method. Some of the collections have been incorporated into artworks, like John Stezakers; others remain separate, like Thomas Bayrles; and in the case of Hans Peter Feldmans, the act of collecting is the work of art. Contributing essays by Pinto, Schafhausen and Schmitz complement this fascinating glimpse into how artists collect and how the actual objects and areas of intrigue and interest inspire and influence their art.

The Botanical Mind
Humanity's place in the natural order is under scrutiny as never before, held in a precarious balance between visible and invisible forces: from the microscopic threat of a virus to the monumental power of climate change. Drawing on indigenous traditions from the Amazon rainforest; alternative perspectives on Western scientific rationalism; and new thinking around plant intelligence, philosophy and cultural theory, The Botanical Mind Online investigates the significance of the plant kingdom to human life, consciousness and spirituality across cultures and through time. It positions the plant as both a universal symbol found in almost every civilisation and religion across the globe, and the ...
An Inventory of Shimmers
Compiling the work of 15 international artists, this generously illustrated book provides a multi-faceted lens through which to explore ideas of affect and intimacy. Affect is an essentially indefinable, largely non-conscious quality that correlates to the experience of diverse emotional and physiological states. This exciting book examines the idea of affect in art. Drawing from an international cadre of contemporary artists working in a variety of media, this book addresses the question of how bodies are affected by intimate relationships with and through objects. The book investigates the kinds of intimate relationships we form with art; explores how art acts as a vehicle for affective engagement or transactions of desire; what role gender plays in affect; and how we experience this force in works of art.
