Loredana Nemes
"In the last ten years, Loredana Nemes has intensively engaged with the subjects of identity and personality. In the process, deeply personal and political issues flow into her work. The most comprehensive monograph on her oeuvre to date, which is being published in conjunction with a large solo exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie, presents four large series. In two of them she explores primal human emotions such as "fear" and "greed," and works for the first time with the power of color. Her older series "beyond" and "Blossom Time" add to the conceptual approach of the new works the aspects of society and individuality by analyzing the possibilities of portraying. Despite her very clear, conceptual approach, all of Nemes's images have a secretive, mysterious component that lends the works a great depth and allows the viewer to develop an emotional, personal connection to them."--Artist's website.
Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art
The first book to examine multicultural visual art in Germany, discussing more than thirty contemporary artists and arguing for a cosmopolitan Germanness. With Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art, Peter Chametzky presents a view of visual culture in Germany that leaves behind the usual suspects--those artists who dominate discussions of contemporary German art, including Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, and Rosemarie Trockel--and instead turns to those artists not as well known outside Germany, including Maziar Moradi, Hito Steyerl, and Tanya Ury. In this first book-length examination of Germany's multicultural art scene, Chametzky explores the work of more than thirty German a...
Beautiful
Beautiful explores the beauty of the Romanian photographer Loredana Nemes' (born 1972) hometown of Sibiu. Intimate writings by the artist accompany images of barefooted children in the street, of her mother's home, an old rug or a pot of burned milk.
Wild
Wildheit gehört zu den grundlegenden kulturellen Zuweisungen von Animalität. Auch wenn die Definitionen von 'wild' und 'Wildheit' vorläufig und wandelbar bleiben und sich nicht an der Spezieszugehörigkeit festmachen lassen, wird das Wilde doch allgemein als das Ungezügelte, Ungezähmte, Fremde und Sprachlose verstanden. Wildheit ist dann paradoxerweise sowohl das, was nicht gezähmt werden kann, als auch das, was unterworfen werden muss. Im Anthropozän tendieren wir dazu, das Wilde als eine Art utopische Gegenwelt zur Zivilisation zu sehen. Das Wilde wird dabei eine rhetorische Formel für Freiheit jenseits von menschlicher Kontrolle oder Restriktionen. Als Gedankenkonstrukt entzieht s...

La foto mi guardava
«La foto mi guardava. Quella vicinanza mi ipnotizzava, ne ero addirittura spaventata. Non sapevo nemmeno dove si trovasse Krasnoarmijs’k, eppure quell’uomo era lì davanti a me, fin troppo vicino, e mi soffiava in faccia il fumo della sua sigaretta». Per anni, Katja Petrowskaja si è cimentata in un genere tanto antico quanto arduo, l’ecfrasi: non già di dipinti, ma di fotografie. Fotografie in cui si è imbattuta in una mostra, in un libro, in un mercato delle pulci; fotografie d’autore o riaffiorate dal suo archivio personale. Fotografie, sempre, dalle quali si è sentita scrutata, indagata, interpellata – come nel caso del minatore del Donbass avvolto dal fumo di una sigarett...
