Practices of Projection
"This volume seeks make an intervention in the fields of film studies and visual culture by examining projection as a pivotal element in the continuing technological becoming of media systems. The chapters come together to paint a picture of projection that incorporates a range of practices across time and space. From studies of traveling projectionists in early 20th century Scotland and modern-day Uruguay to considerations of the (almost) lost mediums of the slide tape and the magic lantern, the authors invite us to consider the varied nature of the technologies, apparatuses, practices and histories of projection in a holistic manner. In doing so, the volume departs from the psychological metaphors of projection often employed by apparatus theory, instead emphasizing the performative character of the moving image and the labor of the various actors involved in the utterance of such texts"--
Rachel Maclean
"Multicolored," "jarring," and "always over the top" aptly describe the worlds created by the Scottish multimedia artist Rachal Maclean. Her films are full of oddly exaggerated characters living in fantasy worlds. Wearing elaborate costumes and makeup, the artist plays most of the roles herself. Rachel Maclean's work subsists on ingenious allusions to fairy tales and fables. Her brilliant and scathing contemporary satires are directed at themes such as nationalism or feminism. They combine historical settings with an incisive, amusing view of modern lifestyles in a digital space that shifts back and forth between harmony and horror. Accompanying the brightly colorful materials of her latest artwork are five essays by Anette Hüsch, Matthew Shaul, Nina Power, Joshua Paul Dale, and Muriel Meyer, which present insightful views of Maclean's oeuvre.

Digital Echoes
This book explores the interplay between performing arts, intangible cultural heritage and digital environments through a compendium of essays on emerging practices and case studies, as well as critical, historical and theoretical perspectives. It features essays that engage with varied forms of intangible cultural heritage, from music and storytelling to dance, theatre and martial arts. Cases of digital technology interventions are provided from different geographical and cultural settings, from Europe to Asia and the Americas. Together, the collection reflects on the implications that digital interventions have on intangible cultural heritage engagements, its curation and transmission in diverse localities. The volume is a valuable resource for discovering the multiple ways in which cultural heritage is mediated through digital technologies, and engages with audiences, artists, users and researchers.
Falling stars
Die Kunsthalle zu Kiel präsentiert anlässlich des Gedenkjahres zum Beginn des ersten Weltkriegs mit der Ausstellung 'Sterne fallen' einen einzigartigen Querschnitt durch die Vorkriegsmoderne in Deutschland und Europa. Sterne fallen widmet sich Künstlern, deren Leben und damit auch Schaffenszeit durch den Krieg und deren Begleitumstände wie die Spanische Grippe und Suizid jäh beendet wurde. Der Titel der Schau zitiert den expressionistischen Dichter August Stramm, der sein Gedicht „Wunde“ im ersten Weltkrieg verfasste und diesem ebenfalls zum Opfer fiel.0In der Präsentation sind Werke von 60 Künstlern und Künstlerinnen aus 12 europäischen Nationen zu sehen, von denen einige Namen...

Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons' newest paintings combine high pixelation of sexual imagery with gestural paint splashes, in an erotic rampage that bursts off the canvas, energized by a friction between photography, painting and digital media. In part an homage to Courbet's Origin of theWorld, these works argue for the flourishing of libido and aim to make a direct hit upon their viewer: My work will use everything that it can to communicate. It will use any trick, I'll do anything- absolutely anything-to communicate and to win the viewer over, says the artist. Offsetting this quasi-religious solicitousness is Koons' usual great degree of care in the layering of images, and the pixelated imagery that compels the viewer to stand back some way to process it. (For Koons, pixelation too is a sign of authenticity.) This beautifully produced edition presents five of these new paintings printed on tipped-in color plates.
From anxiety to volition : Ludger Gerdes
The exhibitions pay tribute to an artist who left a telling mark on the German art scene in the 1980s. From 1981 onward Gerdes (1952?2008) developed a highly complex and wide-ranging body of work which, after some twenty years, is being shown once again in a one-man museum presentation? his first retrospective? and re-examined from the present perspective. With paintings, installations, written pieces and also photographs and interventions in public space, Ludger Gerdes created (thought) models that trigger public dialogues. 0The accompanying publication gives a representative overview of the artist?s output, presents central aspects of his mental edifice and documents and discusses the Ludger Gerdes?s oeuvre in all its salient features.0Exhibition: Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Germany (25.09.2016-22.01.2017) / Kunsthalle zu Kiel, Germany (10.02-30.04.2017).
Anita Albus: the Art of Seeing
At first glance, Anita Albus's artistic practice seems like a welcome anachronism in the midst of the fast pace of contemporary art production: the artist creates detailed images of plants and animals using color pigments she makes herself. She is inspired, among other things, by the still lifes of the Old Masters. With her art, Albus moves at the intersection of meticulous nature research and creative work - the results are paradise-like illustrations that the artist also publishes in the children's books she has written. In 2004, Kunsthalle Kiel purchased a convolute of her works and published the accompanying book The Art of Seeing. The new edition of this enchanting survey volume invites the reader on a discovery tour of Albus's artistic research. ANITA ALBUS (*1942) is a writer, illustrator, and artist. In addition to her art, she has published several literary works that have won numerous awards and allows narrative and illustrative forms of representation to merge. She studied free graphic arts at the Folkwang Universität der Künste Essen.
Anita Albus
The artistic works of Anita Albus are a form of solitary resistance in contemporary art: the artist captures her themes on canvas with extreme precision and attention to detail using colours she herself produces and by means of detailed, layered applications of paint. Anita Albus creates images of intense luminosity and visually deceptive precision. Her works take months? sometimes even years? to produce and their accuracy can only be appreciated when seen in the original, and often only with a magnifying glass. Dutch paintings? miniatures and still lifes? by Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, for example, have been studied by Anita Albus in every respect in the minutest detail. 00Exhibition: Kunsthalle zu Kiel, Germany (20.05.-27.08-2017).
