Album
Beautifully designed, text-heavy and smart, Album is a deliberately unrepresentative compilation of genre-hopping textual and visual material placed in orbit around the work of the influential young Swiss artists Urs Fischer, Yves Netzhammer, Ugo Rondinone and Christine Streuli--all of whom were born in the early- to mid-1970s, and all of whom represented Switzerland at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Finely printed on uncoated paper, the book includes specially commissioned critical texts, conversations, reports and visual essays that address, sometimes straightforwardly, sometimes obliquely, the larger issues implied in this group's work--such as notions of time, the animal and the human, shock and materiality. With a similarly eclectic mix of historical analysis, literary tableau and art-world journalism, the book imagines a psycho-geography of Switzerland, from its Alps to its art-filled bunkers. Sensitive to the nature of its context, informative and discursive rather than promotional, the book is rounded off with a survey on the future of biennials in relation to the present-day "fair mania" and a selection of critical views.

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.

50 Jahre Frauenstimmrecht
Am 7. Februar 1971 stimmten die Schweizer Männer nach mehreren gescheiterten Plebisziten endlich mehrheitlich für das allgemeine Stimm- und Wahlrecht für Frauen. 50 Jahre danach ziehen 25 Frauen Bilanz und schauen zurück und nach vorne. Der Durchbruch kam spät - viel später als in den Nachbarländern -, doch der Kampf hatte auch in der Schweiz eine lange Geschichte. Warum dauerte es fast 100 Jahre bis zur politischen Gleichberechtigung? Welche Rolle spielt das Stimmrecht heute für Frauen? Wählen Frauen anders? Wie steht es um die Gleichberechtigung von Männern und Frauen in Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Öffentlichkeit heute? Was wurde erreicht, wo gibt es Handlungsbedarf ? "50 Ja...
Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When it was first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, e...
