Ralf Ziervogel: Every Adidas Got Its Story
The German graphic artist Ralf Ziervogel here presents more than 100 obsessive, small-format, dip-pen drawings that depict a descent into hell. His subjects are caught in extreme and horrifying situations, sometimes caught up in giant cobwebs, other times dominated by sadistic machines. English and German text.

Ibrahim Mahama: Vanishing Points 2014-2020
With the exhibition VANISHING POINTS 2014-2020 at REITER, the Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama (*1987) has his first solo show in a German gallery. For his large, site-specific installation, the artist has arranged a hundred old wheelbarrows, which he collected from workers in Ghana, giving them new ones in return. The rusty, worn wheelbarrows bear the obvious marks of daily hard labor and can be understood as a symbol of that. They also represent the construction that manifests in architecture throughout the history of the artists' homeland. At the same time the work can also be regarded in the context of his project Parliament of Ghosts, which was on display in Tamale, Ghana, in 2020. It is a forum for debate that also carries on with the idea of social sculpture. Both projects in Tamale and Leipzig are documented in the book.

Flucht vor dem Krieg
Vorarlberg war im Zweiten Weltkrieg ein Hotspot der Desertion von Soldaten der Wehrmacht und der Waffen-SS aus dem gesamten Deutschen Reich. Die vermeintlich leicht zu überwindende Grenze zur Schweiz lockte Hunderte kriegsmüde Soldaten in das Montafon, an den oberen Rhein und den Bodensee. Das Buch dokumentiert neben gelungenen Fluchten die Verfolgung durch die zivile Sonderjustiz und die Militärjustiz, Solidarität und Denunziation von Seiten der Bevölkerung sowie den Nachkriegsumgang mit den ungehorsamen Soldaten und ihren Helfer:innen durch die österreichischen Sozial- und Justizbehörden. Neben einer Gesamtdarstellung zu Wegen und Bedingungen der Flucht, zur Identität der Deserteure und zur Aufnahme in der Schweiz analysieren Fallstudien tiefergehend die Entscheidungen von Deserteuren und ihren Helfer:innen, von Richtern und Polizisten und beleuchten besondere Schauplätze des Phänomens. Abgerundet wird der Band mit zahlreichen historischen und aktuellen Fotos.
Begriffe des Ausstellens
This publication explores themes of the exhibition through its terms--not, however, to confine into isolated conceptual categories, but to interconnect. These terms characterize exhibiting and emphasize a "between-ness." Examining a term lays bare its ruptures, shifts, or recreations, as well as social, societal, and cultural changes that have the power to structure through historical conjecture. Almost fifty terms relevant to the making and discussion of exhibitions today have been compiled in Terms of Exhibiting (from A to Z), contributed by Liam Gillick, Manfred Hermes, Wojciech Kosma, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Tobias Vogt, Jochen Volz, and June Yap, among others. Six essays investigate key ...
