Brut - Paul Kranzler
Austrian photographer Paul Kranzler is a storyteller. In his acclaimedbooks Land of Milk and Honey (2005) and Tom (2007), Kranzler appliedhis socio-documentary style to tell ruthless yet sensitive stories ofpeople and environments in rural Austria. In Brut, Kranzler turns his lenson his own family, choosing 120 images from among the thousandshe has taken of his family since 2004, and providing revealing captionsabout family history and the realities of everyday life. ''In the livingroom my father likes to show slides he took in the States in the 1970s,''writes Kranzler. ''He says that the town of Traun is Austria's equivalentto Los Angeles, and he's not wrong.'' Once again, this influentialphotographer creates an atmosphere in which intimate images emerge.
Land of Milk and Honey
The title can only be meant ironically as photographer Paul Kranzler tells the story of his elderly neighbors, Toni and Aloisia, living out their days in their one-room subsidized apartment. The deeply empathetic photos document the subjects' bewilderment at slipping out of the middle class due to forces beyond their control. "The main challenge of Kranzler's photographs is [his] determination to keep nothing at arm's length," writes an admiring critic of the young Linz-based artist, who tries to make himself a participant rather than clinical observer of the lives he shoots. Kranzler is a true 21st-century heir to the great Social Realist photographers of the past.
Motherland
Parangolé ist ein jährlich erscheinendes, unabhängiges Magazin, das Ideen zu Urbanisierung, Design und Architektur erforscht und einen globalen Dialog über Themen wie Mobilität, Migration, Fluidität und Vielfältigkeit initiiert. Das Magazin beschäftigt sich mit der kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Bedeutung dessen, was es bedeutet, in der Stadt zu leben. Der Titel ist eine Hommage an das Werk des brasilianischen Künstlers Hélio Oiticica und erweitert dessen zentralen Grundsatz »Leben ist Bewegung« vom Körper auf die Stadt. Die erste Ausgabe von Parangolé mit dem Titel Motherland befasst sich mit dem Lebensraum derjenigen, die aufgrund von wirtschaftlicher Not, Konflikten und Gewalt in prekären und unbeständigen Verhältnissen leben. Menschen, die auf der Flucht – also »in Bewegung« – sind, stehen vor großen Herausforderungen und sind besonders verwundbar. Diese Tatsachen müssen bei der Stadtplanung entsprechend berücksichtigt werden. In Motherland werden Theorie und Praxis zusammengebracht, um über diese Fragen und ihre Lösungen nachzudenken.

Design, Displacement, Migration
Design, Displacement, Migration: Spatial and Material Histories gathers a collection of scholarly and creative voices—spanning design, art, and architectural history; design studies; curation; poetry; activism; and social sciences––to interrogate the intersections of design and displacement. The contributors foreground objects, spaces, visual, and material practices and consider design’s role in the empire, the state, and various colonizing regimes in controlling the mass movement of people, things, and ideas across borders, as well as in social acts that resist forced mobility and immobility, or enact new possibilities. By consciously surfacing echoes, rhymes, and dissonances among ...
