Editor, Dorothea Strauss
The works of the conceptual artist Jochem Hendricks (b. Schl�chtern 1959; lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) are both spectacular and precise. Hendricks, who implements his ingenious ideas using a variety of methods and media (video, photography, object, text), takes longings and fears that are familiar to all of us as his point of departure in order to comment on them in a manner that is critical, often humorous, and not seldom ironic. His works are characterized by an aesthetic that seems rather sober at first glance and that he deliberately uses to activate the viewer's fantasies, memories, and ideas. For many years, his works have examined how knowledge, suppositions, and desires arise.

Joanne Greenbaum
In New York painter Joanne Greenbaum's work, geometric and organic shapes intersect within a complex visual space that echoes of Constructivism and cartoon aesthetics. This is the first comprehensive book on Greenbaum's work.
Thomas Hirschhorn
Thomas Hirschhorn, a leading installation artist whose work is owned and exhibited by modern art museums throughout Europe and the United States, is known for compelling, often site-specific and interactive environments tackling issues of critical theory, global politics, and consumerism. His work initially engages the viewer through sheer superabundance. Combining found images and texts, bound up in handcrafted constructions of cardboard, foil, and packing tape, the artworks reflect the intellectual scavenging and sensory overload that characterize our own attempts to grapple with the excess of information in daily life. Christina Braun, the first to compile and systematically analyze the extensive source material on this artist's theoretical principles, sheds light on the complicated yet constitutive relations between Hirschhorn's work and theory. Her study, now translated into English, makes a major contribution to the study of contemporary art.
