Max Brod in Prag: Identität und Vermittlung
Diese Studie analysiert den Werdegang Max Brods (1884‒1968) während der ersten Jahrzehnte des 20. Jahrhunderts im kulturellen und politischen Prager Kontext und vor dem Hintergrund der für diesen Kontext charakteristischen Identitätsprobleme. Brod versucht zunächst, das Identitätsproblem durch eine vielfältige Produktion, in der sich der Wunsch ausdrückt, einer literarischen Bewegung anzugehören und sich seiner Identität als Schriftsteller zu versichern, sowie durch eine „indifferentistische“ Lebensphilosophie zu lösen. Als sich dieser Versuch als erfolglos erweist, entwickelt er eine persönliche Auffassung vom Judentum und von der sozialen Funktion der Juden als Vermittler....

Elmgreen & Dragset - READ
Throughout their careers, the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset (Michael Elmgreen, b. Copenhagen, Denmark, 1961, and Ingar Dragset, b. Trondheim, Norway, 1969, live and work in Berlin) have eschewed the traditional " White Cube" exhibition format by creating large-scale installations and staging narrative situations in which autobiographical quotes blend with fictional stories and cultural references. For the solo exhibition READ, Elmgreen & Dragset have transformed Kunsthalle Praha into a minimalist version of a modern public library to prompt reflections on our relationship with physical books and knowledge in the age of digital media. With new works by Elmgreen & Dragset as well as performances, videos, collages, paintings, and sculptures by other artists, READ also probes the relation between books and the making of art. This richly illustrated publication documents the dynamic interaction between language, books, and art. With contributions from renowned scholars and a curatorial text by Elmgreen & Dragset.

Tragsysteme
Back in print--the standard work on Heino Engel's structure systems. The hundreds of drawings and photographs reproduced in this hardback volume offer almost endless variations on the many structural systems that can keep buildings together: within a few pages of one another, tents, domes and cubes are shown supported by poles, cables, ribs, rafters and beams. Engel's presentation and explanation of this highly complex material differs fundamentally from others' work on the subject in that he focuses entirely upon the functions and design effects of these mechanisms, without regard for technical details: More than an engineering text, this is a catalogue of ideas and forms for architects and dreamers, a David Macaulay book for adults. Structure Systems skips over more commonly treated special designs and completed buildings for typical, representative and surprising shapes. As a reference work or daydream material, it is an indispensable repertoire of forms.
