Light Years
Photography played a critical role in conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, as artists turned to photography as both medium and subject matter. Light Years offers the first major survey of the key artists of this period who used photography to new and inventive ends. Whereas some employed photographic images to create slide projections, photographic canvases, and artists' books, others integrated them into sculptural assemblages and multimedia installations. This book highlights the work of acclaimed international artists such as Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Mel Bochner, Sol LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone, and Ed Ruscha. Matthew Witkovsky's essay provides the larger context for photography within conceptual art, a theme that is further elaborated in texts by Mark Godfrey, Anne Rorimer, and Joshua Shannon. An essay by Robin Kelsey focuses on the pioneering work of John Baldessari in which he explored the element of chance, and an essay by Giuliano Sergio illuminates the lesser-known work of Arte Povera, an Italian movement that sought to dismantle established conventions in both the making and presentation of art.

Die 100 wichtigsten Dinge
Nach intensiver Recherche und Analyse präsentiert das Institut für Zeitgenossenschaft IFZ in einem umfassenden Grundlagenwerk erstmalig die Ergebnisse jahrelanger Forschungsarbeit: Mit Die 100 wichtigsten Dinge gibt das IFZ ein Kompendium heraus, das sich jeglicher simplifizierenden Logik widersetzt und trotzdem schön anzusehen ist. Das Ziel: die Benennung der letzten materiellen Wahrheiten in einer endgültigen, auch für den Nicht-Wissenschaftler verständlichen Auswahl von genau 100 Dingen – den wichtigsten (!) Dingen. Das mag zunächst wenig spektakulär anmuten, doch mit der Reduktion auf 100 Texte und 100 Fotografien stellt dieser Band den ersten Leitfaden zur Orientierung in unserer heutigen Wissensgesellschaft dar und eröffnet dem Leser eine völlig neue Perspektive auf die Welt der Dinge. Ein Buch für jeden, der wissen möchte, was Die 100 wichtigsten Dinge sind, und somit mehr wissen möchte, als er bisher weiß. Mit Gastbeiträgen von Katja Eichinger, Rafael Horzon, Sophie Hunger, Daniel Kehlmann, Holger Liebs, Markus Lüpertz, Magnus Resch, Peter Richter, Claudius Seidl, Christiane Stenger u.a

The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time
For the past twenty-five years Americans have relied on Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith William Safire for their weekly dose of linguistic illumination in The New York Times Magazine's column "On Language" -- one of the most popular features of the magazine and a Sunday-morning staple for innumerable fans. He is the most widely read writer on the English language today. Safire is the guru of contemporary vocabulary, speech, language, usage and writing. Dedicated and disputatious readers itch to pick up each column and respond to the week's linguistic wisdom with a gotcha letter to the Times. The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time marks the publication of Safire's sixteenth book...
