Daniel Knorr
This first monograph on emerging Berlin-based Romanian artist Daniel Knorr takes its design inspiration partially from Japanese Manga comics. An independent project produced alongside Knorr's comprehensive 2010 survey at Kunsthalle Basel, this will be an important source publication for years to come.
Carlos Amorales. The Factory
Carlos Amorales ? The Factory' is the first European retrospective exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Carlos Amorales. It showcases the work of one of Mexico?s most important contemporary artists from the 1990s to the present day.00Carlos Amorales made an extraordinary artist book that accompanies the exhibition, together with the Amsterdam-based designers Mevis & Van Deursen. Amorales collaborated with Mevis & Van Deursen in 2000 on his first book 'Los Amorales', which is now a collector?s item.00By plunging into the depths of a single silhouette taken from Carlos Amorales?s Liquid Archive, letting it run amok and infinitely transform, this highly original artist book coaxes a disturbing understanding of both Carlos Amorales?s recent practice and the perversions of our time.00Including an enlightening manifesto by the artist and a new, enthralling text by author Reinaldo Laddaga, embedded in interweaving and overlapping layers of comic-book-like frames designed by Elsa-Louise Manceaux.00Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (24.11.2019-05.04.2020).

Geographical Analogies
This limited edition artist's book is based on Cyprien Gaillard's Geographical Analogies, a collection of 900 Polaroids, carefully and rigorously arranged in a total of 100 showcases, telling many stories about landscapes, monuments, modernist buildings, and architectonic utopias, and just as many stories about decay, destruction, and devastation. 'Gaillard's epic work, outmodedly analog ... reflects a computation of time that seems to have disappeared... In the disintegrating medium of Polaroid photography the aspect of disappearance inherent to time is documented and allegedly temporarily halted - until in foreseeable time these originals too will have disappeared beyond recall. ...Decay, ...
The New Public
Globalisation and internet-supported networks seem to run counter to that 'retreat into the private sphere' often diagnosed in the past. This book examines the consequences of the new forms of the public sphere with regard to the museum as an institution as well as to the reception of art and the impact on art production.
Andro Wekua
Andro Wekua brings together collective and personal memories to form vivid, at times disturbing, representations in installations, sculptures, collages, pictures and films. He merges motifs found in magazines or old photo albums with painting and pasting to create multi-layered, kaleidoscope-like collages. The focus is on the search for a way to deal with that which is past and that which is present, the experienced and the passed-on overlap in Wekua's art on both visual and narrative levels. The installations, often dramatically staged, testify to this narrative leaning. Andro Wekua presents his biggest exhibition yet at the Kunsthalle Fridericianum (March – June 2011), showing numerous new sculptures, including a group of works that recalls the severely damaged and abandoned buildings of his hometown Sukhumi. A new film brings together science fiction and horror elements. This 3 volume catalogue is published in collaboration with the Rein Wolfs, Kunsthalle Fridericanium.
Shipwreck in Art and Literature
Tales of shipwreck have always fascinated audiences, and as a result there is a rich literature of suffering at sea, and an equally rich tradition of visual art depicting this theme. Exploring the shifting semiotics and symbolism of shipwreck, the interdisciplinary essays in this volume provide a history of a major literary and artistic motif as they consider how depictions have varied over time, and across genres and cultures. Simultaneously, they explore the imaginative potential of shipwreck as they consider the many meanings that have historically attached to maritime disaster and suffering at sea. Spanning both popular and high culture, and addressing a range of political, spiritual, aesthetic and environmental concerns, this cross-cultural, comparative study sheds new light on changing attitudes to the sea, especially in the West. In particular, it foregrounds the role played by the maritime in the emergence of Western modernity, and so will appeal not only to those interested in literature and art, but also to scholars in history, geography, international relations, and postcolonial studies.
