Traces and Masks of Refugees
Austria has repeatedly been a destination for refugees who were received as persecuted individuals and rejected as "aliens". The iconographies of flight changed as a function of the respective point of view. Changing identities of an individual, their masks, and the mental bridges between "here" and "back there" become the subject of artistic creation: memories, phantasms, traces and documents. The exhibition presents works by artists, most of them living in Austria, who explore the issues of fleeing, migration and prejudice, who process their own experience of flight in different ways or refuse to accept it as a label of identification.
Research for People who (think They) Would Rather Create
What is artistic research? What is a research document? How do these relate to the making process, invention, and creativity? What exactly is expected of me? If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, then this book is for you. Research For People Who (Think They) Would Rather Create addresses all relevant aspects that need to be considered during a research and documentation process, such as: finding the right topic and approach; formulating your research question; working out your methods; choosing one or more suitable writing styles; and considering the possible roles of visual, virtual, auditory, embodied, and spatial materials.0'Research For People Who (Think They) Would Ra...
The Jive Talker
A bawdy, brilliant and heartbreaking memoir by the award-winning Malawian-born artist. With exuberant prose, a cast of extraordinary characters and a rebellious spirit, Samson Kambalu tells the story of how a little boy obsessed with fashion, football, Nietzsche and Michael Jackson won a free education at the Kamuzu Academy ('The Eton of Africa') and began his long journey to art school, and international artistic and academic success. The son of a philosophising, hard-drinking, poorly paid hospital manager, Kambalu's award-winning conceptual work is now shown in galleries across the world and still evokes that childhood landscape of literary excitement, family chaos and music; post-colonial injustice, poverty and Aids. 'A book filled with wonder, humour and hope. It is a magnificent achievement.' Aminatta Forna, Sunday Telegraph 'Read Kambalu, cry, clap your hands.' Iain Finlayson, The Times 'A truly original book.'Pride Magazine
Common Country Roads (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Common Country Roads The country road is part of the machinery of agriculture just as the steel track is part of the machinery of the railroad. The farm waggon should pass over the surface of the road, and every pound of effort spent in dragging heavy loads through the deep mire is a waste which every farmer should strive to avoid.

Originalcopy
In the context of digital technologies, copying data material is as ubiquitous as it is invisible. "originalcopy" is an artistic and scientific research project that illuminates the possibilities of this phenomenon, and opens them up for discussion with its own means - those of the copy. The project concentrates on the tension between the transience of digital technologies and the way in which these technologies express themselves in an artistic language of design and materials. In so doing, "originalcopy" focuses less on the results of copying than on the processes that lead to these results.
Hands Have No Tears to Flow
The primary topic of the book is the relationship between the human body and the architectural and urban spaces constructed for it. Identities flow between one subject and another as warmth in a heat exchanger. Is there anything similarly valid for architecture? Is it possible for architectural rules of buildings to be assigned to the inhabitants? Can inhabitants absorb the functionality buildings? Then, isn‘t the construction site the inhabitant rather than the building? Considering this, how will our stock of building components then develop? hands have no tears to flow... is a collection of commentaries, pictures and excerpts, quotations and constructs conceived around the human body. The book contains material by Ray und Charles Eames, Bernard Rudofsky, Friedrich Kiesler and other contributors. The design firm grafisches Büro is responsible for the bibliophilic design.
In/Visibility of Flight
In/Visibility is unequally distributed in society and closely related to the distribution of power and privilege. Using images and narratives to mobilize is part of political strategies. The relationship of in/visibility and migration is the guiding question for this edited volume. The chapters discuss multidisciplinary perspectives and factors that contribute to the visibility of forced migration beyond a policy-centered discourse. They focus on the voices and agency of refugees in different countries and contexts. By including research, practical experiences and artistic methods, the volume will be of interest to readers from different academic disciplines and the arts as well as to practitioners.
