Aura Rosenberg is concerned with the visible expression of sexual desire. Capturing the moment of orgasm on camera is usually reserved for the voyeur, the hidden witness. What Rosenberg has done is present herself as the public's witness via the camera, inviting a number of men into her studio to reenact the ecstasy of release, the moment when potency and vulnerability coexist. The result is a collection of extraordinary photographs that run the gamut of psychosexual expression. Whether her subjects were really giving their best shot or simply indulging in sublime fakery is just one of the very pertinent questions these pictures throw out. In acting out their most abandoned sexual and emotional moment before her lens, Rosenberg's subjects invite us to step beyond the traditional limits of voyeurism. These beautiful, curious and erotic images reserve the traditional male-on-female gaze and relieve it of some of its associations with misogyny and perversity. Writers Lynn Tillman and Gary Indiana reflect together on the experience of witnessing these photographs.

Aura Rosenberg: What Is Psychedelic

What is Psychedelic traces New York and Berlin-based artist Aura Rosenberg's (b. 1949) trajectory from early paintings to more recent works in photography, film, sculpture, and installation. Central to Rosenberg's practice are the ways images produce and reproduce notions of spectatorship, gender, family, history, and legacy-that is, the conditions of everyday life. For over five decades, her work has challenged how such vernacular images create seemingly naturalized meanings through which people understand themselves in the world.

99[ Or Less

  • Categories: Art

A major group exhibition of ninety nine artists based in the United States, '99 Cents or Less' addresses Detroit?s ongoing economic crisis and its 2013 bankruptcy?the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in the history of the United States. Four years after a federal judge approved Detroit?s bankruptcy-exit plan the city?s financial present and future are still in flux. This exhibition is a reflection on the realities of a city that was once one of the country?s wealthiest and most diverse. Speaking to Detroit?s place as a global industrial powerhouse by using materials from 99 cent stores, '99 Cents or Less' hopes to make the connection between past, present, and future centers of production, and point to ways that artists can address how mass production has changed and will continue to change and evolve. As the consumer?s relationship with their everyday items has changed, so has the application and approach that artists take when incorporating these items in their work. 00Exhibition: Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit, USA (19.05. - 06.08.2017).

The Gringo Champion

Million Dollar Baby meets The Brief Life of Oscar Wao Liborio has to leave Mexico, a land that has taught him little more than a keen instinct for survival. He crosses the Rio Bravo, like so many others, to reach "the promised land." And in a barrio like any other, in some gringo city, this illegal immigrant tells his story. As Liborio narrates his memories we discover a childhood scarred by malnutrition and abandonment, a youth during which he has nothing to lose. In his new home, he finds a job at a bookstore, where of all places he begins to doubt the usefulness of words. He falls in love with a woman so intensely that his fantasies of her verge on obsession. And, finally, he finds himself on a path that just might save him: he becomes a boxer. Liborio's story is constructed in a dazzling language that reflects the particular culture of border towns and expresses both resistance and fascination. This is a migrants' story of deracination, loneliness, fear, and, finally, love – a thoroughly contemporary take on the picaresque novel – told in sparkling, innovative prose.

Algebraic K-Theory and Its Applications

Algebraic K-Theory is crucial in many areas of modern mathematics, especially algebraic topology, number theory, algebraic geometry, and operator theory. This text is designed to help graduate students in other areas learn the basics of K-Theory and get a feel for its many applications. Topics include algebraic topology, homological algebra, algebraic number theory, and an introduction to cyclic homology and its interrelationship with K-Theory.

An illustrated examination of a 1995 work by Mike Kelley that marked a significant change in his work. One of the most influential artists of our time, Mike Kelley (1954–2012) produced a body of innovative work mining American popular culture as well as modernist and postmodernist art—relentless examinations of subjectivity and of society that are both sinister and ecstatic. With a wide range of media, Kelley's work explores themes as varied as post-punk politics, religious systems, social class, and repressed memory. Using architectural models to represent schools he attended, his 1995 work, Educational Complex, presents forgotten spaces as frames for private trauma, real or imagined. T...
