Marc Lüders, East Side Gallery
The new series of works by Marc Luders consists of twenty-eight 'photo-pictures': works that integrate photographs taken by the artist at the East Side Gallery in Berlin near Oberbaum Bridge. The East Side Gallery is a section of the Berlin Wall that was painted by 118 artists from 21 countries in 1990, an artistic comment on the political changes of the years following the fall of the wall. Meaning is created when Luders photographs the wall and its fictitious visitors today, in front of the graffiti art that is in great need of repair, and also because the popular site is threatened by new development. In rapidly changing Berlin, the crumbling, obviously disintegrating East Side Gallery will soon no longer exist. Or at least not in reality, only as an imaginary, intermedia 'photo-picture' by Luders. English and German text.

Active Threads
Active Threads?, the book accompanying the eponymous exhibition, is devoted to the political aspects inherent in contemporary textile art. Eight artists challenge the often-cited metaphor of the social fabric. They address social ruptures, geopolitical conflicts, overt post-colonial wounds, along with examples of civil protest and motifs of fan culture. In-depth essays and extensive texts on all participating artists describe the role textiles can play as catalysts of social and cultural processes.00Exhibition: KAI 10 ARTHENA FOUNDATION, Düsseldorf, Germany (08.05. - 19.09.2021).
Ottjörg A.C.
The Deskxistence project saw German artist Ottjörg A. C. (born 1958) traveling to Jerusalem, Ramallah, New York, São Paulo and various cities in China. In all of these places, he visited schools where he created large-scale colored prints on paper of the pupils' desks. A gravure printing process highlights the scribbles, carvings, inscriptions, pictorial representations and abrasions.
Broken spaces
The exhibition catalogue 'Broken Spaces' shows how artists play with projected, folded or shattered planes and spaces, where the boundary between two- and three-dimensionality is as ambivalent as that between object and space. Three-dimensional objects can appear like drawings in the space. Plastic structures are based on transformed planar forms, like silhouettes cast by shadows. Even if precise mathematical and geometrical calculations form the basis, the sensorial result reveals surprising poetic and creative qualities.00Exhibition: ARTHENA Foundation, Düsseldorf, Germany (10.04-18.07.2015).
Nicola Staeglich
"Diese Malerei entspricht der Ambition, Farbe in die Luft zu malen." (Ulrich Loock) Nicola Staeglich (geb. 1970 in Oldenburg, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) versetzt Farbe in einen Zwischenzustand von materieller Präsenz und atmosphärischem Strahlen. Sie inszeniert die Malerei als performative Handlung mit breiten Farbsetzungen oder als Rauminstallation mehrlagiger transparenter Farbbahnen. Color Light Matter Mind ist Staeglichs erste Monografie und setzt ihre aktuellen Arbeiten in Beziehung zu den früheren (1998-2021). Von den spiralförmigen Reliefs hin zu ihren Liquid Lights öffnet sie der Farbe eine neue Dimension.
Friedrich Einhoff: Darkroom
It is the human figure, its formal reduction and expression that forms one core of Friedrich Einhoff's work: equally important are elements that are not immediately representational. Amorphous forms extend the picture surface but also suggest abstract body shapes.Einhofff's process of artistic creation is permeated by his search for an efficacious method of drawing to express the ambivalent and fragile nature of human existence.The figure is not simply depicted in a photorealistic manner; instead he invents the figure and places it in its own world, a pictorial world. In this semiotic model the subjectivity of the symbol with its existential connections becomes tangible.Published to accompany the exhibition at LEVY Galerie, Hamburg, 25 September – 6 November 2012.English and German text.
Margret Wibmer
Building on the legacy of Surrealism and its reconceptions of the female body, Austrian artist Margret Wibmer (born 1959) designs clothing that incorporates machine parts and sensors that enable the garment to "perform" when worn, or to interact with sound and language samples in an exhibition environment. This volume surveys works from 2005 to 2010.
Christina Chirulescu
A selection of paintings and drawings from the past ten years, this volume is the first overview of Romanian artist Christina Chirulescu (born 1974). Her abstract paintings combine a careful geometricism with warm swells, patches and drips of color.
