Fragments from Finnegans Wake, James Joyce
In the eight drawings in this artist's book, Partenheimer comes to grips with key passages from James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. He takes on Joyce's lyrical and onomatopoetic vocabulary via extraordinarily sensitive lines and strokes, poetic notations of an enigmatic world.

Jürgen Partenheimer (b. Munich, 1947) rose to international renown with his participations in the biennials of Paris, Venice, and São Paulo. The book, which was designed in close collaboration with the artist, sheds light on various aspects of his oeuvre. Authors writing in several languages and representing a variety of disciplines, including Anne Carson, Lebogang Mashile, Carla Schulz-Hoffmann, John Burnside, Oswald Egger, and Rudi Fuchs, accepted the invitation to contribute their personal perspectives.
Benedikt Partenheimer
Wir leben nicht nur in Zeiten rasenden, aufregenden Wandels, wir leben auch mitten in den Zeiten des Anthropozän. Umwelt und Klima verändern sich im Zuge des vom Menschen betriebenen Turbokapitalismus. Der enge Zusammenhang und das zunehmende Ungleichgewicht zwischen Mensch und Erde wird in Benedikt Partenheimers Werken sinnlich wie inhaltlich nachvollziehbar. Fotografien von faszinierender wie bedrückender Eleganz zeigen ökologische und kulturelle Transformationsprozesse. Was diese Aufnahmen so bestechend erscheinen lässt, ist die menschliche Einflussgröße: malerischer Dunst von Luftverschmutzung über Stadtpanoramen, Berge spiegeln sich ambivalent in geschmolzenem Gletscherwasser. Der Preis der Schönheit ist jedem Bild eingeschrieben. Das macht Partenheimers Werk ästhetisch spannend, aber vor allem auch existenziell wichtig und politisch brisant.

My Symptoms
Chinese-American writer John Yau's short fiction collection is set in bleak neighborhoods of casual misunderstanding, habitual deception and oblique, transient encounters among strangers. At the heart of Yau's artistic inquiry is that precarious and unstable thing "identity"--and the ways that isolation and alienation threaten identity altogether. The Review of Contemporary Fiction said, "These are stories that recount the symptoms of many, if not most of us."
