On trickling away
Time, like space, is one of the key coordinates of human existence. The great mysteries of our lives revolve around it, only to remain unresolved when death inevitably ends our days. The vanitas, a genre that was popular with painters in the seventeenth century, is hardly the earliest form that artists have devised to grapple with it. "On Trickling Away" presents the ideas of contemporary artists who approach time from diverse angles. Bernard Aubertin (FR), Inge Dick (AT), Rom Gaastra (NL), Gosbert Gottmann (DE), Tommi Grönlund & Petteri Nisunen (FI), Manuela Kasemir (DE), Timo Klos (DE), Dimitry Orlac (FR), George Rickey (US), Patrik Söderlund & Visa Suonpää (FI), and John Woodman (UK) hone our awareness of how subjective the passage of time is and convey vivid experiences of its trickling away.
Fotografie Des Gegenwärtigen
The importance of the moment in artistic photography. Can photographs exist which represent concrete places? In view of the daily flood of images, this question seems superfluous at first. Only on closer inspection does the distance between the visual experience of places and the media images generated from them become apparent. "There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment," Henri Cartier-Bresson once stated. The present volume examines this decisive moment and explores the question of how artistic photography can describe the gap between spatial reality and photographic image, and make the present at the time the photograph was taken visible. With texts by Holger Kube Ventura and works by Viktoria Binschtok, Julian Faulhaber, Mareike Foecking, Stephanie Kiwitt, Nikolaus Koliusis, Barbara Probst, and Wolfgang Zurborn.

Baroque encounters
X91;What can I expect from art? This could be a typical question posed by Paule Hammer, to which he then seeks answers in his own artistic work. Painting for him involves recording and collecting fundamental reflections on certain topics. The result is labyrinths of short narratives in the first person, philosophical discussions, everyday observations, dreams and thoughts.’ (Holger Kobe Ventura). This monograph is the first in a series of publications planned by the SØR Rusche Sammlung Oelde/Berlin. This collection combines Dutch and Flemish paintings from the 17th century with contemporary positions and places them in a dialogue together.0Exhibition: Museum Abtei Liesborn, Germany (2013).
Postdramatic Theatre and the Political
Is postdramatic theatre political and if so how? How does it relate to Brecht's ideas of political theatre, for example? How can we account for the relationship between aesthetics and politics in new forms of theatre, playwriting, and performance? The chapters in this book discuss crucial aspects of the issues raised by the postdramatic turn in theatre in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century: the status of the audience and modes of spectatorship in postdramatic theatre; the political claims of postdramatic theatre; postdramatic theatre's ongoing relationship with the dramatic tradition; its dialectical qualities, or its eschewing of the dialectic; questions of representation and...

Eerie
The renowned sculptor Peter Buggenhout (b. 1963, Dendermonde, Belgium; lives and works in Ghent) describes his hybrid pieces as ?abject things? that defy classification and even the label ?work of art.? He aggregates and manipulates found and discarded objects as well as both technical and organic materials including pig blood, cow stomachs, and horsehair until he achieves a certain degree of abstraction. Buggenhout?s sculptures confront the beholder as creatures that are somehow ?off,? exuding an eerie atmosphere by allowing something sinister to rise to the surface that, it appears, lurks just behind the façades of the physical world: vestiges of humanity, society?s sedimented refuse. The book presents a comprehensive survey of his growing oeuvre; it is the first publication to cover his most recent creations in marble.
Encounters with Paul Celan's Poetry
Encounters with Paul Celan's Poetry: The Other's Time consists of encounters: with poetry, with its readers, and with the other that poetry seeks to encounter. What does it mean, when Celan insists that every real encounter, every true encounter happens in memory of the poetic encounter, the secret of the encounter? This book presents close readings of various poems, often attempting textual and intellectual dialogue with philosophers who read Celan or who were read by Celan, such as Jacques Derrida, Werner Hamacher, Edmund Husserl, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
