Futures
Carol is a small-time cocaine dealer in 1987 London. She’s on her own with a young daughter, a good mother who is especially careful in her working life. For some punters, this involves being Simone. One of these customers is Phil, a financial analyst in the City who, with his longtime pal and fellow analyst Jack, fantasizes a cocaine futures market while on a coke binge. They look at it as they would look at any other commodity. At the top of the wholesale business are Gordon Murray and his brothers, who have an “in” with the Drug Squad and are prepared to shop anyone to keep it that way, on top of the violence they use as and when needed. When the cocaine futures market becomes a reality, Carol has an opportunity to go for the big deal that could get her out of the business altogether. Meanwhile, a stock market crash creates havoc, and a once-in-a lifetime hurricane sweeps across London, ripping down trees and the communication systems of the stock market itself. Carol must make her choice, as three very different worlds are about to collide.
The Secession Talks
The Secession Talks is a collection of artist talks on exhibitions that took place at the Secession from 2011 to 2022. They contextualize the exhibition history of the Secession and allow for a new consideration and evaluation of the program. As a collection, these conversations between artists and well-known art critics, art historians, curators, and artist colleagues form a unique interface between artistic work and art education.
Vertigo
Of all the ground-breaking art movements of the 1950s and 60s, Op Art has received the least amount of attention to date. It has often been discounted as too spectacular and showy and therefore not very profound. This is a misconception - this art sharpens our awareness of the ambiguity of appearances and illustrates the impossibility of grasping 'reality'.Vertigo. Op Art and a History of Deception 1520-1970 presents a deceptive game of the senses, unfurling a whole panorama of artistic works that confound the senses, ranging from panel paintings, reliefs and (kinetic) objects to installations and experiential spaces, to film and computer-generated or computer-controlled art.
Dynamic Perception
This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th workshop on 'Dynamic Perception' which was held on November 18 - 19, 2004, at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. As in the previ-ous meetings, the conference is characterised by its high degree of in-terdisciplinarity. The presentations cover the fields of computer science, psychology, neuroscience as well as biology. The common denominator of all contributions consists in the observation that the sensory systems of man, animals and robots have to solve similar tasks such as goal-directed behaviour, orientation within a 3D world or object identification, to name just a few.
Identity Unknown
An award-winning writer rescues seven first-rate twentieth-century women artists from oblivion--their lives fascinating, their artwork a revelation. Who hasn't wondered where-aside from Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo-all the women artists are? In many art books, they've been marginalized with cold efficiency, summarily dismissed in the captions of group photographs with the phrase "identity unknown" while each male is named. Donna Seaman brings to dazzling life seven of these forgotten artists, among the best of their day: Gertrude Abercrombie, with her dark, surreal paintings and friendships with Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Rollins; Bay Area self-portraitist Joan Brown; Ree Morton, with her...

ART
Als intimer Kenner der europäischen und internationalen Kunstszene begibt sich Robert Fleck auf die Suche nach den diversen Revolutionen des 21. Jahrhunderts, den leisen und den lauten, den oberflächlichen und den tiefschürfenden. Die Kunst erlebt einen Epochenumbruch, vergleichbar demjenigen, den wir in unseren Lebensverhältnissen wahrnehmen. Wie verändert sich die Kunst mit der Internetgesellschaft? Wie wandeln sich Malerei, Skulptur, Fotokunst und Video mit dem Digitalen? Auf welche Weise werden vergessene Traditionen plötzlich aktuell? Wie entwickelt sich die neue Öffentlichkeit für Kunst, der Wandel von Museen, Galerien, Ausstellungen? Was bedeutet die Globalisierung des Kunstgeschehens? Das Buch öffnet ein Panorama der Kunst des 21. Jahrhunderts anhand künstlerischer Hauptzeugen ihrer Entwicklung, unter Einbeziehung der neuen prägenden Ideen, der Gleichheit der Geschlechter, des Postkolonialismus und der Rettung des Planeten. Es endet mit einem Plädoyer für die Notwendigkeit von Kunst in unserer Zeit.
