Harmony Korine

Bringing together interviews collected from over two decades, this unique chronicle includes rare interviews unavailable in print for years and an extensive, new conversation recorded at the filmmaker's home in Nashville.

Human Strike and the Art of Creating Freedom
The first English-language publication of writings by the collective artist Claire Fontaine, addressing our complicity with anything that limits our freedom. This anthology presents, in chronological order, all the texts by collective artist Claire Fontaine from 2004 to today. Created in 2004 in Paris by James Thornhill and Fulvia Carnevale, the collective artist Clare Fontaine creates texts that are as as experimental and politically charged as her visual practice. In. these writings, she uses the concept of “human strike” and adopts the radical feminist position that can be found in Tiqqun, a two-issue magazine cofounded by Carnevale.

Distant Early Warning
"In Distant Early Warning, Alex Kitnick reveals the story of Marshall McLuhan's entanglement with the art and artists of the twentieth-century avant-garde. It is a story packed with big names: Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Nam June Paik, Tom Wolfe, Harold Rosenberg, Max Kozloff, and more.

Collected by Thea Westreich Wagner and Ethan Wagner
Published on the occasion of an exhibition celebrating the Wagners' promised gift of more than 850 works of art to the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Musaee national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris, held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, November 20, 2015-March 6, 2016, and at the Centre Pompidou, June 16, 2016-January 2017.

Instead, the artists in the exhibitions deal with populist sentiments and ideologies of our time through sub-themes such as the mass media projection of politics; market populism and culturial industries; group and corporate identities; representations and spaces of 'the people'; law, order and security; religious and moral controversy; nationalism and xenophobia. But all the artists share a common populist premise in their unwillingness to accept the old opposition between mass and elite culture, and their desire to investigate the forms of politics - the dreams of democracy and its remodelling - that are being produced in contemporary society"

RLF
Nachdem die Straßenunruhen in London die Welt des Werbers Jan dramatisch auf den Kopf gestellt haben, findet er in der Aktivistin Slavia und dem Künstler Mikael Mikael die richtigen Mitstreiter im Kampf für ein richtiges Leben im falschen. Gemeinsam gründen sie RLF, ein Lifestyle-Unternehmen, das den Wunsch nach Protest und Widerstand in Konsumprodukte verwandelt; mit dem Ziel, das System selbst in einem revolutionären Akt zum Einsturz zu bringen. Doch die Revolution hat ihren Preis, den am Ende jemand wird bezahlen müssen – und sei es mit dem Leben. Mit Gastauftritten von Stéphane Hessel, Oliviero Toscani, Judith Butler, Harald Welzer und anderen. »Borries’ phantastischem Architekturroman gebührt der Preis für den besten Plot der Saison.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung »Schnell und schlau.« Deutschlandradio Kultur »Kalt wie die moderne Fassade eines Wolkenkratzers. Aktuell und beunruhigend.« Radio Fritz »Eine neue Form des Romans. Frappierend zeitgenössische Literatur, inhaltlich und formal.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung »Eines der klügsten Bücher zum 9/11-Jahrestag. Und eines der unterhaltsamsten.« Spiegel Online
