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.
Barbara Davi - Train of Thought
Swiss artist Barbara Davi, born 1971, primarily works with the media installation and photo-collage. Following her artistic education at Zurich's School of Art and Design (today Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK) and Lucerne School of Art, Davi has developed her original style, working in three-dimensional space as well as on two-dimensional surfaces, using architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or a shadow, Davi's creates quasi-drawings in space and photo-collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. Her motifs emerge from a sequence of deliberations, from her 'train of thought'. This first monograph on Barbara Davi features her striking work from the past ten years. Around 100 plates in color and black-and-white are complemented by essays on Davi's way of working in her preferred media.
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}
Micha Zweifel
On Micha Zweifel's humorous sculptural representations of the everyday Swiss-born and Rotterdam-based artist Micha Zweifel (born 1987) makes sculptures and installations portraying everyday motifs: a sleeping dog with a fly on its nose, a parked car or the view of a hedge from up close. This publication gathers his playful work.
Anita Zumbühl: You Don't Know What You Don't Know You Don't Know
What is nature? How do we perceive it? How do we appropriate it, shape it? Anita Zumbühl (*1975) examines the relationship between man, nature and culture in her works. For this she uses found objects such as crystals, branches or mosses, as well as materials for home use such as cotton wool, wool and fabric. Internal and external landscapes meet and enter into dialogue with one another. The artist takes man as a measure, physically and psychologically, tracking down emotions and addressing the theme of human longings and anxieties in performances ? with the artist group Salon Liz for example.00Anita Zumbühl?s work is informed by intuition and a spirit of inquiry. This involves testing, discarding and re-combining. For her latest dye works she shifted her studio outdoors and included nature in the dyeing process ? in the form of wind and weather.00Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Luzern, Switzerland (08.06. - 25.08.2019).

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).
