Skin in the Game
Skin in the Game follows on from the acclaimed fieldwork diary, The Metabolic Museum. In this new book, Clémentine Deliss expands on how artists understand risk and contention both in their work and with regard to historical collections. Through a series of compelling conversations, questions are raised on how to work on colonial collections through the concept of the "prototype" as generative of a multiplicity of non-exclusive interpretations. The book includes interviews with leading women artists spanning two generations—Ruth Buchanan, Otobong Nkanga, Collier Schorr, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, and Andrea Zittel—in which they discuss that moment of "skin in the game," when each of them took ...
Climates. Habitats. Environments.
Artists and writers go beyond disciplinary boundaries and linear histories to address the fight for environmental justice, uniting the Asia-Pacific vantage point with international discourse.

In doing so, they draw on the rich cultural heritage of the Asia-Pacific, in conversation with international discourse...
Stefano Cerio
Der Boden ist schneebedeckt, der Horizont eine dunkle Gebirgslinie, tiefhängende milchige Wolken verdecken den Himmel. Im Vordergrund erhebt sich eine seltsam unförmige Masse in leuchtenden Farben – rot, blau und gelb. In weniger als einer Minute materialisiert sich eine aufblasbare Hüpfburg, wie man sie oft auf Kinderspielplätzen, Jahrmärkten und Dorffesten sieht. Unbeholfen ragen diese Luftschlösser in ihrer einer Fata Morgana ähnlichen Form von Doppelrutschen, Drachenburgen, Fußballfeldern verloren aus bizarren Szenerien heraus, die Stefano Cerio mit Aquila erschaffen hat. Aufgenommen zu unterschiedlichen Jahreszeiten vor der eindrucksvollen Kulisse der Abruzzen, nicht weit entfernt von L’ Aquila, ist eine Serie von großer Melancholie entstanden.
Mierle Laderman Ukeles. Seven Work Ballets
Mierle Laderman Ukeles’s 1969 manifesto “Maintenance Art: Proposal for an Exhibition” was a major intervention in feminist performance practices and public art. The proposition argued for the intimate relationship between creative production in the public sphere and domestic labor—a relationship whose intricacies Ukeles has been unraveling, ever since. Starting in 1977, she became an unsalaried artist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation, a position that enabled her to introduce radical public art as mainstream culture into an urban system serving and owned by the municipal population. 00Through archival research, this monographic publication focuses on Ukeles’s work ballets—a series of large-scale collaborative performances involving workers, trucks, barges, and hundreds of tons of recyclables— which took place between 1983 and 2012 in Givors, Echigo-Tsumari, New York, Pittsburgh, and Rotterdam.
Bee Reaved
A new collection of essays from Dodie Bellamy on disenfranchisement, vulgarity, American working-class life, aesthetic values, and profound embarrassment. So. Much. Information. When does one expand? Cut back? Stop researching? When is enough enough? Like Colette's aging courtesan Lea in the Chéri books, I straddle two centuries that are drifting further and further apart. --Dodie Bellamy, "Hoarding as Ecriture" This new collection of essays, selected by Dodie Bellamy after the death of Kevin Killian, her companion and husband of thirty-three years, circles around loss and abandonment large and small. Bellamy's highly focused selection comprises pieces written over three decades, in which t...
REALTY
How to transcend land grab economies, even by means of art? The reader REALTY moves from the safety of critique to the vulgarity of suggestions. The pandemic's effect on mobility presents a historic opportunity. Rarely has criticism of our extractive artworld logic of one-place-after-another been louder. REALTY is a long-term curatorial program by Tirdad Zolghadr (*1973), initially commissioned by the KW Institute for Contemporary Art. With the help of numerous artists and experts who contributed over 2017–2020, this reader revisits how contemporary art can contribute to decisive conversations on urbanism. TIRDAD ZOLGHADR (*1973) is a curator and writer. He is currently artistic director of the Sommerakademie Paul Klee. Curatorial work over the last two decades includes biennial settings as well as long-term, research-driven efforts, most recently as associate curator at KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, 2016-20.
The Encyclopedia of Fictional Artists
The Encyclopedia of Fictional Artists (1605 – today) is a project by Koen Brams, who together with co-editors, initiated a compilation of biographies from fictional artists as presented in world literature. Although published and distributed in a different context (literature), this compilation provokes the perception of the art context as a descriptive narrative and is therefore to be seen as a conceptual framework for potential artistic additions. The Addition is Krist Gruijthuijsen's editorial answer To The Encyclopedia, inviting more than 20 artists to reflect upon the problematics of fiction, history, and encyclopedic knowledge. Brought together by a bellyband, The two volumes constitute the first English edition of Brams' classic (first published in Dutch). Published with Kunstverein, Amsterdam; de Appel arts centre, Amsterdam; Mondriaan Foundation, Amsterdam; and with the help of the Flemish Literature Fund, Antwerp as well as the Foundation For The Production and Translation of Dutch Literature.
Renée Green
Über zwei Jahrzehnte hinweg hat sich Renée Green in ihrer außergewöhnlichen multimedialen Kunstpraxis fortlaufend mit der Beziehung zwischen Ästhetik und Macht auseinandergesetzt. Ihre Filme, Skulpturen, Schriften, Fotografien, Druckgrafiken und Soundarbeiten untersuchen und beleuchten unterrepräsentierte Geschichten von Migration, Vertreibung, Ethnografie und kultureller Repräsentation. Dieser außergewöhnliche Künstlerkatalog zeigt Greens Werk in seinen vielen Facetten und kombiniert frühe und undokumentierte Kunstwerke mit neueren Arbeiten, begleitet von einer Vielzahl von Texten neuer Autoren, die ihr Kunstwerk für ein zeitgenössisches Publikum rekontextualisieren. Das Buch erlaubt die einzigartige Einsicht in einen Prozess, in dem Sehen und Wissen in neue Konstellationen gebracht werden.
Reza Abdoh
In seinem nur zwölf Jahre umfassenden Schaffen brach der iranische Theatermacher Reza Abdoh mit sämtlichen Parametern des Theaters und brachte seine Schauspieler und das Publikum oft an ihre Grenzen. Seine halluzinatorischen Traumlandschaften waren eindringlich, seine Inszenierungen adressierten sprachgewaltig die bitteren politischen Realitäten seiner Zeit – vom staatlich sanktionierten Rassismus über die Weigerung der Reagan-Regierung, sich der AIDS-Krise anzunehmen, bis hin zu den Kriegen der USA. Kurz vor seinem Tod verfügte er, dass seine Stücke nicht neu aufgeführt werden dürfen. Der Katalog enthält neben zahlreichen Abbildungen neue Essays über die Einflüsse und Rezeption seines Werkes, bereits publizierte und bisher unveröffentlichte Interviews mit Reza Abdoh, Gespräche mit Weggefährten sowie Skripte seiner Stücke und Presseberichte.
