Peter Halley
1980 begann Peter Halley seine ersten Prisons – radikal reduzierte geometrische Abstraktionen – zu malen. Die Abstraktion wurde hier nicht mehr als utopischer Ausgangspunkt der Befreiung verstanden, sondern als dystopisches Symbol für die Regulierung der Umwelt und des sozialen Raums. »Ich wollte den Blick auf diese geometrisierte, rationalisierte und quantifizierte Welt lenken. Ich sah darin eine Welt, die beherrscht wurde von Effizienz«, schrieb der amerikanische Künstler 1990. In einer Zeit der immer massenhafteren Verbreitung von privaten Computern und der frühen Internetära entwickelte Halley ein System basierend nur drei geometrischen Grundformen, die er als »Gefängnisse«, »Leitungen« und »Zellen« bezeichnete. Auch in der Wahl seiner Materialien, wie dem strukturgebenden Farbadditiv Roll-A-Tex und fluoreszierenden Day-Glo-Farben, verwies er auf die Mechanisierung handwerklicher Fähigkeiten. Dieser Katalog setzt den Fokus auf die ersten zehn Jahre intensiven Schaffens und zeigt die geistesgeschichtlichen Wurzeln von Halleys charakteristischer Bildsprache.
Dysfashional
This book is a brave new fashion project, but rather than exhibiting clothes and styles, Dysfashional explores the broad range of materials and mechanisms that turn fashion into a way of representing personal identity and experience. Staged like a construction site, Dysfashional tackles the seemingly frivolous yet vital realm of fashion, by examining the approaches and perspectives of designers and artists from diverse backgrounds. A dramatic journey into the creative process as center stage. With: Hussein Chalayan, Jean Colonna & Jeff Burton, Hiroaki Ohya, Maison Martin Margiela, Antonio Marras, Grit & Jerszy Seymour, SHOWstudio, Raf Simons, Sissel Tolaas, Gaspard Yurkievich, BLESS, Herms, You Wear It Well, and many more key international designers.

Freigeister
A free spirit, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, is someone who "thinks otherwise than is expected of him in consideration of his origin, surroundings, position, and office, or by reason of the prevailing contemporary views" (Human, All Too Human,1878). As the German philosopher saw it, one must seek to become "untimely" and remain a "stranger" to one's time in order to question its premises. This view to states of alienation unites the positions of fourteen young Luxembourgish artists in Freigeister, the publication accompanying the celebrations on occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean. In recent years, Luxembourg's art scene has grappled in a wide variety of ways with the challenges that come with the small yet economically successful country's ongoing transformation. Charting realities between the familiar and the unknown, the artists featured in Freigeister employ photography, painting, and installation as well as film, sculpture, printmaking, and performance art to paint a carefully considered but by no means dispassionate portrait of today's society in an effort to build bridges between identity and the future.
