David Weiss. Neocolor
The book reproduces all of the known Neocolor drawings by the Swiss artist, who died in 2012. Peter Fischli and David Weiss began working together in the 1980s as artist duo Fischli/Weiss, as well as their alter egos Rat and Bear. Before that, parallel to travelling, David Weiss drew all other activities and non-activities with pencil, coloured pencil, ink and Neocolor wax pastels. The Neocolor drawings, for which Weiss used a technique that many will remember from school, form a self-contained group of works from the period between 1977 and 1978. The success of the publication is in conveying the properties of black pages as negative drawings, whose motifs become visible through scratching away to the coloured layers underneath, in an intuitive way.

Dr Ferdinand
E SO NE STOLZE MOUDI -Mani Matters bekanntester Moudi von Oskar Weiss illustriert -Den Ferdinand neu entdecken -Für alle von 3 bis 99 Jahre Es braucht bloss jemand die ersten Worte aneinanderzureihen, und schon bringt das Gedächtnis die weiterführenden Strophen summend aus uns heraus: Dr ferdinand isch gstorbe – ojeh ojeh ojeh – är wo so vil het gworbe um Liebi im Quartier. Und schon befindet man sich mittendrin, im Kosmos von Mani Matter. Wie stellt sich der phantasiebegabte Bildererfinder Oskar Weiss den bekanntesten Moudi von Bern vor? Mit welchen Tricks bezirzt Dr Ferdinand die weibliche Katzenbevölkerung von nah und auch von fern?

Quorum
The Arab Spring that offered hope to millions has withered and died as civil war and terror engulf much of the Middle East. Russia has annexed Crimea and continues to support rebels throughout the Ukraine. In Gaza Israeli and Hamas forces continue to fight but the west increases the pressure on Israel to find a permanent resolution to the conflict. The war in Syria has ripped the country apart and a new Jihadist group calling itself Islamic State has emerged to control vast swathes of Syria and northern Iraq, dispensing a barbarism not seen since the Middle Ages. The flow of refugees from the war ravaged areas of Africa and the Middle East increasingly resembles a tsunami of human suffering that threatens the very infrastructure of the EU. As the tentacles of terror touch its borders it seems like only a matter of time before the West is drawn into what could develop into a new World War. When Gianfranco Molinari of the newly formed European Financial Bureau, gets drawn into investigating the seemingly obscure murders of two men in the quiet Danish city of Odense it soon becomes apparent that he is in a race against time where the very existence of Europe as we know it is at stake.

Food - Media - Senses
Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.
