The Roof Garden Commission
The work of Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade is elegant, rigorous, and highly experiential. With equal parts poetry and critical acumen, Kwade creates sculptures and installations that reflect on time, perception, and scientific inquiry, calling into question the systems designed to make sense of the universe. Ultimately, she seeks to draw out the mystery and absurdity of the human condition, heightening our powers of self-reflection. For The Met, Kwade has created ParaPivot I and II, a pair of sculptures with nine massive stone spheres floating in apparent weightlessness in large, intersecting steel frames. This sculptural ballet evokes a miniature solar system, a piece of space that has settled temporarily on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. This book, the first on Kwade’s work published in the United States, includes an insightful essay on her practice by curator Kelly Baum and a revealing interview with the artist by Sheena Wagstaff. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
Gilles Rotzetter
The paintings by Gilles Rotzetter are figurative, direct, raw, fierce in the tradition of Bad Painting. The book focuses on his current complex of works on the Swiss atom bomb. The artist weaves together paintings, drawings and installations about this little known piece of Swiss history to form a complex image cosmos, and raises the question of how history is constructed. Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Luzern, Switzerland (10.06.-20.08.2017).
Erwin Wurm
Erwin Wurm draws almost every day, be it when he is at home or on the road. He works with easily available paper in various qualities and formats.Peace & Plenty, also the name of the hotel on the Bahamas where many of the drawings were done, refers both to the situation and to the sheer amount of the drawings. 447 works on paper, in pencil, crayon, ballpoint-pen or as watercolors and collages, are reflections, commentaries on the world, storehouses of ideas.Thematically, they resemble a diary, given that people turn up in them with whom Erwin Wurm is in contact, artist-friends, family, but also self-portraits and current projects, be that ideas for One Minute Sculptures or drawings of caravans and trucks for his project for the 2017 Venice Biennale.No text.Published alongside shows at Kunstmuseum Luzern, (9 June - 23 September 2018) and Albertinal, Vienna (21 November 2018 - 31 January 2019).

Kuratoren und Besucher
Kuratoren sind in den letzten Jahren neben Museumspädagogen und Gestaltern verstärkt ins Blickfeld der museologischen Forschung gerückt. In einer aktuellen Studie zur Besucherorientierung stellt Maren Ziese zeitgenössische kuratorische Praktiken in Kunstausstellungen vor. In Rückbindung an die Relationale Ästhetik fragt sie, ob Kunst-Kuratoren ein soziales Umfeld in Ausstellungen kreieren und wie Partizipations- und Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten für das Publikum eröffnet werden. Der Band bietet einen Kriterienkatalog partizipatorischer Praktiken und arbeitet Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Ausstellungsmacher heraus.
Alicja Kwade
Few positions in art currently attract more attention than the works of the young sculptor Alicja Kwade (b. Katowice, 1979; lives and works in Berlin). They show how easy it would be to lift our construction of reality off its hinges. In her installations, objects, and photographs, experiments in philosophical thought take concrete shape, reminding us that we cannot understand everything. The texts in this book are likewise unusual: in addition to an introduction by the art historian Eveline Suter, it includes an essay by Alicja Kwade's mother, the biologist Elisabeth Kwade, about why artists are different, and the well-known furniture maker and author Rafael Horzon contributes a jester's play.
Kürschners Handbuch der bildenden Künstler
Kü rschners Handbuch der Bildenden Kü nstler (Kü rschner's Almanac of Visual Artists) covers visual artists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland in ca. 5,000 lexically structured articles and provides an up-to-date overview of contemporary art in this region. For the most part the entries are based on what the artists report about themselves. Besides important biographical information and details on the works of living artists, the handbook informs about the public and private galleries, museums and collections with works of modern art. A corresponding connection between artists and art dealership is thus established. Further helpful indexes list associations and societies of artists as well as art journals.
