A record of a symposium on the legacy of the late Luxembourgish artist Michel Majerus. In the span of a short yet exceptionally prolific career, Luxembourgish artist Michel Majerus (1967–2002) transgressed the well-worn rules of painting to capture the influence of digital media and pop culture during the 1990s and early 2000s. Majerus’s large-scale paintings and installations—characterized by the artist’s ‘sampling’ and collaging of an eclectic repertoire of imagery and text borrowed from art history, video games, commercials, and electronic music—resonate with the rapid expansion of globalized consumer culture and digital technology.

Through both longer essays and shorter case studies, this book examines the relationship of European women from various countries and backgrounds to collecting, in order to explore the social practices and material and visual cultures of collecting in eighteenth-century Europe. It recovers their lives and examines their interests, their methodologies, and their collections and objects—some of which have rarely been studied before. The book also considers women’s role as producers, that is, creators of objects that were collected. Detailed examination of the artefacts—both visually, and in relation to their historical contexts—exposes new ways of thinking about collecting in relation to the arts and sciences in eighteenth-century Europe. The book is interdisciplinary in its makeup and brings together scholars from a wide range of fields. It will be of interest to those working in art history, material and visual culture, history of collecting, history of science, literary studies, women’s studies, gender studies, and art conservation.
In this broad-ranging study of German fiction by women between 1770-1914, the author aims to add a new dimension to existing debates on the association of women and illness in literature. She constructs a history of women's self-starvation, eating behaviour and wasting diseases.
Cana Bilir-Meier?s work tackles private and public archives as well as the stories hidden within them?most of them untold?with a special focus on (post- )migrant worlds of experience. In it, she asks questions about the equality enjoyed by migrants and non-migrants and their levels of social, cultural, emotional, and structural participation. For this, she uses a wealth of media including film, drawing, performance, and audio. The publication discusses aspects of social diversity, participation, historical suppression, and knowledge situated in the migrant experience. Cana Bilir-Meier?s first monograph is published in conjunction with her solo exhibition at the Kunstverein in Hamburg.0Cana Bilir-Meier (*1986 in München) lebt und arbeitet in München und in Wien. 2016 wurde ihre Arbeit mit dem Birgit Jürgenssen Preis ausgezeichnet, 2018 erhielt sie den ars viva-Preis für Bildende Kunst. 00Cana Bilir-Meier (b. 1986 in Munich) lives and works in Munich and Vienna.
