Jacqueline Burckhardt: My Commedia Dell'arte
Art historian, curator and founder of Parkett, Jacqueline Burckhardt's contributions to the art world make her a true Renaissance woman The life of Swiss-born art historian Jacqueline Burckhardt (born 1947) is steeped in the arts: as a former restorer, as coeditor of the art journal Parkett, as curator of site-specific art on the Novartis Campus in Basel, as a lecturer and as director of the summer academy at the Zentrum Paul Klee. This volume honors Burckhardt's tireless dedication to the arts, featuring an in-depth dialogue with the curator and art historian Juri Steiner, which addresses a plethora of topics ranging from the dual historical nature of artworks to Herbert Lachmayer's concept of "taste intelligence." Selected texts penned over the past 40 years elaborate on issues raised in the conversation and emblematize Burckhardt's distinctive writing voice. The "Intermezzo"--with contributions by Laurie Anderson, Kurt W. Forster, Katharina Fritsch, Herbert Lachmayer, Pipilotti Rist and Catherine Schelbert, plus a letter from Ernst Gombrich--eloquently testify to her relationship with artists and authors.

Shirana Shahbazi
Shirana Shahbazi frequented the Conference and Education Center of a Swiss Re Insurance building over a period of 12 months. The resulting montage of photography and classical painting genres cultivates an associative trip through portrait, landscape, still life and history painting. What emerges depends partly on your eye's liability.
Monsters of Our Own Making
In Monsters of Our Own Making, Marina Warner explores the dark realm where ogres devour children and bogeymen haunt the night. She considers the enduring presence and popularity of male figures of terror, establishing their origins in mythology and their current relation to ideas about sexuality and power, youth and age.

Otto Künzli
The Swiss Otto Künzli (born in 1948) revolutionised modern jewellery design and is regarded as ‘one of the most intelligent and at the same time most critical artists in the world of jewelry’ (Ralph Turner: The New Jewelry, 1985/1994). Over the course of his involvement with jewellery, spanning around 45 years, Otto Künzli achieved a unique status as an artist and pioneer, and also as an author and teacher, with widespread international influence. Renowned artists such as Karen Pontoppidan (Konstfack, Stockholm), Karl Fritsch (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology), David Bielander and Lisa Walker are amongst the graduates of the jewellery class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich,...
Everyone is an artist.
In 13 Kapiteln bieten die Ausstellung und der dazugehörige Katalog einen tiefgreifenden Einblick in das kosmopolitische Denken von Joseph Beuys, wie es sich in seinen Aktionen manifestiert, die in Form von Videoprojektionen und Fotografien präsentiert werden. Denn dort – als handelnde, sprechende und sich bewegende Figur – untersuchte Beuys die zentrale und radikale Idee seines erweiterten Kunstbegriffs: »Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler«. Das Ziel seines universalistischen Ansatzes war es, die Gesellschaft von Grund auf zu erneuern. Bis heute ist sein Einfluss in künstlerischen und politischen Diskursen spürbar. In der Ausstellung treten zeitgenössische Künstler*innen neben Ve...
The Dread of Difference
“The Dread of Difference is a classic. Few film studies texts have been so widely read and so influential. It’s rarely on the shelf at my university library, so continuously does it circulate. Now this new edition expands the already comprehensive coverage of gender in the horror film with new essays on recent developments such as the Hostel series and torture porn. Informative and enlightening, this updated classic is an essential reference for fans and students of horror movies.”—Stephen Prince, editor of The Horror Film and author of Digital Visual Effects in Cinema: The Seduction of Reality “An impressive array of distinguished scholars . . . gazes deeply into the darkness and then forms a Dionysian chorus reaffirming that sexuality and the monstrous are indeed mated in many horror films.”—Choice “An extremely useful introduction to recent thinking about gender issues within this genre.”—Film Theory
After the Future
This book brings together diverse aspects of postmodernism by philosophers, literary critics, historians of architecture, and sociologists. It addresses the nature of postmodernism in painting, architecture, and the performing arts, and explores the social and political implications of postmodern theories of culture. The book raises the question of whether postmodernism is to be seen as one more epoch or period within a succession of eras, or as a challenge to the modernist practice of periodization itself. The nature of the subject and of subjectivity is explored in order to resituate and contextualize the autonomous subject of the modern literary traditions. Postmodern approaches to philos...
Lang/Baumann. Models
Sabina Lang und Daniel Baumann arbeiten seit 1990 zusammen und bilden das bekannte Schweizer Künstlerduo Lang/Baumann. Ihr Werk umfasst Installationen, Skulpturen, Wand- oder Bodenmalereien und architektonische Interventionen. Dieses Buch zeigt erstmals alle in den 33 Jahren ihres Wirkens gefertigten Modelle für die künstlerischen Arbeiten. Es bildet so einen Werkkatalog über ihr Gesamtschaffen anhand dieser Miniaturen und zeigt auch Projekte, die nie über das Modellstadium hinaus entwickelt wurden. Wofür ein Modell gebaut wird, ist entscheidend: Soll etwas dreidimensional skizziert, überprüft oder präsentiert werden? Lang/Baumann arbeiten mit drei Typen. Das Ideenmodell ist schnell gefertigt, fragil und manifestiert einen Gedanken. Anhand des Arbeitsmodells werden formale oder technische Details überprüft. Das Präsentationsmodell schliesslich entsteht erst nach Abschluss des Entwurfsprozesses, zeigt das Ergebnis und ist meist aufwendig gebaut. Essays zur Ikonografie im Werk von Lang/Baumann und über das Spielerische im Modellbau begleiten die rund 100 Abbildungen. Ein Gespräch mit Sabina Lang und Daniel Baumann rundet das Buch ab.
