During May and June 2006, artist Kutlug Ataman's award-winning film installation Kuba is travelling aboard the Negrelli, a converted container barge, up the Danube River from the Black Sea to Vienna. Slowly, against the current, Kuba will navigate Europe's oldest trade route and cultural artery through Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia, Hungary, and Slovakia to its heart in Austria. At each stop, in each country, a new work specifically commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary is presented in dialogue with Ataman's installation. Matei Bejenaru, Nedko Solakov, Zelimir Zilnik, Renata Poljak, Laszlo Csaki and Szabolcs Palfi, Anetta Mona Chisa and Lucia Tkacova, Emanuel Danesch and David Rych speak in different tongues through their individual artistic projects about minorities, invisible communities, their migrations, histories and memories, and the survival skills learnt to protect their identity and self-representation. Kuba: Journey Against the Current is a local and international project intended to provide an artistic response to the complex challenges presented by recent socio-political developments In Europe.

'Compelling from start to finish...Downie does full justice to an extraordinary life' Pete Davies, author of All Played Out. A stunning new biography of Socrates, the iconic captain of the greatest Brazil side never to win the World Cup. Socrates was always special. A hugely talented athlete who graduated in medicine yet drank and smoked to excess. The attacking midfielder stood out - and not just because of his 6'4" frame. Fans were enthralled by his inch-perfect passes, his coolness in front of goal and his back heel, the trademark move that singled him out as the most unique footballer of his generation.

Music Tames the Beast is the most comprehensive overview of Austrian painter Constantine Luser's (born 1976) work to date. At the core of Luser's oeuvre lies the notion of translation--translating a drawing into the physical world of touch, sound and movement.
Karl Neubacher war hauptsächlich Grafikdesigner. Seine Plakate, die künstlerische Konzepte als Basis hatten, sind legendär. Durch das Miteinander von Gebrauchskunst und Formen der Konzept- und Medienkunst erzeugte er ein kreatives Spannungsfeld; Foto und Film waren dabei die Hauptausdrucksmittel. Neubachers Kunst ist deshalb im Kontext der Medienkunst zu rezipieren: ihre Aktualität wird so anschaulich. Zentral für Neubachers Arbeiten war weiterhin die Beschäftigung mit dem eigenen Körper, den er in Performances direkt einsetzte, in seiner mediatisierten Form aber auch als Bild begriff. Das Buch erscheint als Katalog zu der großen Personale im Kunsthaus Graz und ist gleichzeitig die erste umfassende Monographie über den österreichischen Universalkünstler Karl Neubacher.
