Zürcher Schaustücke
Eine schöne Stadt und ihre Lebensqualität wird immer auch durch die bildende Kunst in ihrem öffentlichen Raum definiert. Zürich zeigt viel davon, darunter fast 600 Skulpturen, die über das ganze Stadtgebiet verteilt sind. Hier wird eine Auswahl davon gezeigt und kommentiert. Die Essays informieren über die Künstler, erzählen Geschichten zu ihrem Werk und vom häufigen Widerstand der Zürcher gegen die jeweils moderne Kunst. Damit liegen erstmals Informationen und Deutungen zu Kunstobjekten vor, denen man in der Stadt begegnet. Ein Buch für Alteingesessene wie für Zugezogene und Gäste. Vor allem aber will es Lust auf eigene Entdeckungen machen. Für jeden Stadtkreis gibt es eine Lageskizze mit den jeweiligen Fundorten der Schaustücke.

Migration in Austria
The interdisciplinary volume offers methodologically innovative approaches to Austria's coping with issues of migration past and present. These essays show Austria's long history as a migration country. Austrians themselves have been on the move for the past 150 years to find new homes and build better lives. After the World War II the economy improved and prosperity set in, so Austrians tended to stay at home. Austria's growing prosperity made the country attractive to immigrants. After the war, tens of thousands of "ethnic Germans" expelled from Eastern Europe settled in Austria. Starting in the 1950s "victims of the Cold War" (Hungary, Czechs and Slovaks) began looking for political asylum in Austria. Since the 1960s Austria has been recruiting a growing number of "guest workers" from Turkey and Yugoslavia to make up the labor missing in the industrial and service economies. Recently, refugees from the arc of crisis from Afghanistan to Syria to Somalia have braved perilous journeys to build new lives in a more peaceful and prosperous Europe.
Visionary Spaces
"In the Bauhaus anniversary year, three exhibitions pursue historic and contemporary questions on the theme of space, display, and constructivist art. The exhibition 'Visionary Spaces: Kandinsky, Mondrian, Lissitzky and the Abstract-Constructivist Avant-Garde in Dresden 1919-1932' brings together master works from international museums. In the center of the show are spatial designs by Piet Mondrian and El Lissitzky, which were created for Dresden in 1926. This is also the starting point for new works by contemporary artists. The historical designs are the intellectual framework for a confrontation with different categories of space as geometric form and as a social place." -- Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden website
