Painter's greetings from Berlin
Faced with Peter Herrmann's paintings we can rediscover a sense of wonder, discover what is fascinating in urban scenes, everyday objects and routine events, and trace the sometimes unspectacular aspects of human existence. The painter, born near Zittau in 1937, who now lives in Berlin, does not shy away from taking on the tradition of the great masters of art, from Paolo Uccello to Caspar David Friedrich, or to Paul Cezanne. Moreover, the effect of his paintings is underscored by an ironic, cryptic humor. This catalogue is the first to extensively introduce the oeuvre of Peter Herrmann. It provides insights into early work phases and retraces the artist's biography in close connection to his works. The main focus of the book is placed on works Herrmann created starting in 2000. In a sumptuous series of images the reader encounters a type of painting dominated by bright, strong tones and fields of color. In their reduction of what is represented and their nonchalance, the works provide answers and ask questions in equal measure.

Max Uhlig
The Dresden-based artist Max Uhlig has created a truly one-of-a-kind installation for the Gothic Church of Saint John in Magdeburg, Germany. The cathedral, first built in 1209, was destroyed during World War II when heavy bombing destroyed the church's windows and caused significant structural damage. Restorations of the cathedral began in 1992, and soon thereafter Uhlig began his installation, with thirteen of the church's windows serving as a canvas. A window area of some 350 square meters immerses the interior of the church in light. Uhlig's installation offers an abstracted history of the church's destruction and rebirth. Six windows are presented in color: dark earth tones and luminous ...
Alicia Paz
Alicia Paz grew up in Mexico and studied in California, Paris and London. Her paintings seem infused with the interplay of impressions gathered at all of these stations - and her life path as an artist is exemplary for our time, with its borders and the cultural overlaps, mutual contemplations and reflections connected to this phenomenon. The invariably female personages appearing in her paintings, paper reliefs and recently also favoured medium of cut-out sculptures creates a role play of iridescent identities. The catalogue book provides both an overview of her painterly oeuvre of the recent years and an opportunity for readers to engage with her artistic thought process, which is visualized and made concrete here. By employing pictorial overlaps, embossing, glitter effects and special paper inlays, the book operates with a similar diversity in terms of visual components as the art works do, hereby giving this catalogue a decidedly object-like character.

JOHN SMITH
Two decades of video works from an experimental filmmaker and dramaturgist The word Waldeinsamkeit refers to the phenomenon of retreating to the forest in isolation. Fascinated by the current trend spurred by this holdover from German Romanticism, London-based experimental filmmaker and dramaturgist John Smith (born 1952) uses the concept as a framework for showcasing the last two decades of his career.
