Concrete and Water
Organizations are not only functional structures but equally defined through their humans, objects, spaces and practices in relation with each other. From this perspective, Jana Faßbender and Luca Marie Tüshaus engage ethnographically and conceptually with the contemporary art exhibition documenta fifteen. Offering a deep dive into its preparation, execution, and impact through immersive fieldwork, they explore the exhibition's unique atmospheric forces and organizational aesthetics from within. This rich and reflexive investigation is composed entirely in dialogue, and proposes a new vocabulary of atmospheres in organizations.
documenta fifteen Handbook
Under the guiding principle of lumbung, the Indonesian collective ruangrupa is less concerned with individual works than with forms of collaborative working. As a reference work, companion, and innovative art guide, the Handbook offers orientation for these comprehensive processes; it is aimed at visitors to the Kassel exhibition as well as those interested in collective practice. All the protagonists at documenta fifteen and their work are presented by international authors who are familiar with the respective artistic practice and cultural context. Entitled "lumbung," the book introduces the mindset and cultural background of documenta fifteen illustrating the artistic work processes with numerous drawings. A chapter on Kassel presents and explains all the locations of the show, including the artists and collectives represented here.
New Trends in Distribution Logistics
The globalization of markets has reinforced the interest in logistics. A constantly raising level of competition among companies stresses the need for improved logistic processes, in terms of cost reduction and increased service level. The book covers the main problems of distribution logistics: network design and location problems, tactical and operational planning of transport, internal logistics, and inventory management. The book contains a rigorous methodological approach with an emphasis on practical problems. Two survey papers provide references and open problems.
documenta fifteen Handbuch
Unter dem Leitgedanken des lumbung geht es dem indonesischen Kollektiv ruangrupa weniger um Einzelwerke als um Formen gemeinschaftlichen Arbeitens. Das Handbuch bietet als Nachschlagewerk, Begleiter und innovativer Kunstführer Orientierung für diese umfassenden Prozesse; es richtet sich ebenso an Besucher*innen der Ausstellung in Kassel wie an Menschen, die sich für kollektive Praxis interessieren. Alle Akteur*innen der documenta fifteen werden mit ihrer Arbeit von internationalen Autor*innen vorgestellt, die mit der jeweiligen künstlerischen Praxis und dem kulturellen Kontext vertraut sind. Unter dem Titel "lumbung" führt das Buch in die Denkweise und die kulturellen Hintergründe der documenta fifteen ein und verdeutlicht mit zahlreichen Zeichnungen die künstlerischen Arbeitsprozesse. Ein Kapitel über Kassel zeigt und erläutert alle Standorte der Schau, inklusive der hier vertretenen Künstler*innen und Kollektive.
Also-space, from Hot to Something Else
Although contemporary art in Indonesia is completely integrated within the global art discourse, the fundamental context of Indonesian artists is in fact quite different from that of the contemporary Western artistic practicein which notions of individuality and autonomy play a key role. Indonesian initiatives tend to include more of an awareness of local networks, and a contextual (as opposed to purely conceptual) way of thinking and acting. This softcover book, Also-Space, From Hot to Something Else, focuses mainly on a Jakarta-based artists initiative called ruangrupa, andto a lesser degreeon a number of other Indonesian artists and initiatives, as case studies of how Indonesian artists organize and manifest themselves individually and collectively. Reinaart Vanhoe (b. 1972, Belgium) lives in both Rotterdam (Holland) and Jakarta (Indonesia); his practice consists of research-based activities that Vanhoe translates into books, exhibitions,
Curating Contemporary Music Festivals
Brandon Farnsworth lays out a theory for understanding curatorial practices in contemporary music and how they could be a solution to the field's diminishing social relevance. He focuses on two case studies, the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre, and the Maerzmusik Festival at the Berliner Festspiele.
Distribution Logistics
The complexity of distribution systems is augmented by various trends: globalization of the manufacturing industry, rising customer demands, and the reverse flows within closed-loop systems. In this light, the need for ‘advanced’ planning methods that are based on quantitative optimization is constantly increasing. This book takes up the challenges posed by these developments. In doing so, it presents recent results and case studies from a group of researchers that regularly meet at the IWDL (International Workshop on Distribution Logistics). The text covers the design of distribution networks, vehicle routing, warehousing and reverse logistics. It also contains a comprehensive review of more than 60 case studies in reverse logistics.
Dark Shamans
On the little-known and darker side of shamanism there exists an ancient form of sorcery called kanaimà, a practice still observed among the Amerindians of the highlands of Guyana, Venezuela, and Brazil that involves the ritual stalking, mutilation, lingering death, and consumption of human victims. At once a memoir of cultural encounter and an ethnographic and historical investigation, this book offers a sustained, intimate look at kanaimà, its practitioners, their victims, and the reasons they give for their actions. Neil L. Whitehead tells of his own involvement with kanaimà—including an attempt to kill him with poison—and relates the personal testimonies of kanaimà shamans, their...

The Corporate Art Index
Art is a prerequisite for the progress of society. Corporate Art Initiatives contribute to this progression. Based on extensive research, Viviane Mörmann presents 21 promising corporate art initiatives (CAIs). She introduces different types of art initiatives and provides a standardized scheme to evaluate them. This volume features CAIs from the classic corporate art space to the public art challenge, and the virtual museum. It draws attention to the subject of CAIs to broaden the reader's knowledge and to mediate access to current CAIs. The Corporate Art Index thus addresses art lovers, artists, curators, business and marketing professionals, architects and designers, art historians, art fair organizers and journalists.
