Framis in Progress
Published on the occasion of a solo exhibition of work by Alicia Framis, a multifaceted artist born in Barcelona and educated in Paris and Amsterdam, this large-format book delves into all aspects of her oeuvre over the last fifteen years, from films and installations to performance art and fashion design. Divided into three broader themes – social architecture, fashion and demonstrations, and wishing walls – it investigates her work and its interaction with people, addressing various societal issues like race, gender and discrimination while employing strategies of performativity to reclaim public space and bridge the distance between artist and audience.0Exhibition: Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, the Netherlands (8.6.-29.9.2013) / Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbrück, Austria (14.12.2013-23.2.2014) / MUSAC, Léon, Spain (15.3.-6.7.2014) / Centre for Contemporary Art, Brugge, Belgium (20.9.-23.11.2014). 0Exhibition:
De melancholieke metropool
From 20 October 2013 to 23 February 2014, the Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem (MMKA) exhibits "The Melancholy Metropolis: Cityscapes between Magic and Realism, 1925-1950". Magic realist painting, an important component of the MMKA's collection, is displayed alongside photography and film of the same era that visualizes the metropolis as a place of stillness, loneliness, and melancholy. Cityscapes by Dutch magic realists such as Carel Willink, Joop Moesman and Pyke Koch are accompanied by urban landscapes by painters who show an affinity with them, such as Mario Sironi and surrealists like Paul Delvaux. The exhibition also features works by artists of the German neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement, including Max Radler, Oskar Nerlinger and Karl Völker. In addition, the exhibition also includes contemporaneous cityscapes created in the context of French and Belgian photography and cinema. The exhibition thus situates magic realism in a European context. Exhibition: Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, The Netherlands (20.10.2013-23.02.2014).

This richly illustrated book provides an overview of all known Dutch and Flemish artists up to the nineteenth century, who painted or drew flower pieces, or else made prints of them.
Elger Esser
The photographs of Elger Esser act like a déjà vu: his magic pictures of riverscapes, bridges, villages, and seacoasts awaken vague memories, even if we have never visited any of the places photographed. Consciously drawing on Marcel Proust, the Stuttgart-born artist (b.1967). Esser thus defies in his choice of photographic techniques: he presented his most recently produced heliogravures, an almost forgotten technique from the nineteenth century, for the first time at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and subsequently at the Museum for Modern Art Arnhem. This first large survey exhibition is fifty large-format works by the artist. Additionally at the beginning of the Duke Collection. Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Dusseldorf Academy of Arts Elger Esser is one of the most important German photographers today.--Gallery website.

Reclaiming the L-Word
This brave and moving collection of stories by South African lesbian women from different backgrounds reminds us, again, that rights are never finally won in legislatures or in court rooms. They are won by people exercising them. The authors of the stories and poems in this book have done just that. They have stood up to celebrate the dignity of lesbian women in South Africa. Each contribution is different. And each intensely personal. And each one reminds us of the urgent need for us to stop hate crime and to create a safe society for all LGBT South Africans.
