Like Biting Into Sugar Cane
The phantasmagoria of artist Simon Speiser has seeped into the room, it has perfumed these pages: over the course of this, his first collection of writing, we move through a book that displays the intense visualisation of the artist's thoughts, dreams and desires. Some of these have existed before, sometimes within or part of an exhibition of the artist's physical works housed in spaces, real, situated. These texts, situated across the broad hallways of this book, attain their own physical presence, you can traverse around them as they coalesce into at times a 3dimensional literature of both the body and the mind.
Hélio Oiticica: Curating the Penetráveis
Die Penetráveis sind spektakuläre Rauminstallationen, die der brasilianische Künstler Hélio Oiticica in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren entwickelte. Sie sind Orte des Ausprobierens und werden erst durch Benutzung aktiviert. Oiticica hat damit ein Format erfunden, das bis heute immer neue Möglichkeiten für künstlerische Interventionen bietet. Was unterscheidet ein Penetrável von anderen temporären Ausstellungsformaten? Worin liegen seine kuratorischen Herausforderungen? Im ersten Teil des Buches geht es um die politischen und künstlerischen Voraussetzungen der Penetráveis. Der zweite Teil lotet ihre heutigen Möglichkeiten aus - anhand des Performance- und Filmprogramms, das im Rahmen der Oiticica-Retrospektive des MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main stattgefunden hat. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Daniel Birnbaum, Peter Gorschlüter, Jörg Heiser, Christoph Menke, César Oiticica Filho und Jochen Volz.
Sibyl's Mouths
Textual and visual ephemera along with performative documents stemming from a reading of Mary Shelley’s 1826 novel The Last Man. Sibyl’s Mouths is the most recent in a series of publications by Pure Fiction, a writing and performance group with shifting members active since 2011. Earlier this year, Pure Fiction presented an exhibition and performance program at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in Cologne titled Shifting Theater: Sibyl’s Mouths. The starting point was a collective reading of Mary Shelley’s 1826 novel The Last Man, in which the narrator discovers a collection of scribbled oak leaves scattered in a cave outside Naples. Alleged prophecies of the Cumean Sibyl, the textual frag...
God's Word for Our World: Biblical studies in honor of Simon John De Vries
This two-volume work in biblical studies is a commemorative presentation to Simon John DeVries, noted Old Testament Scholar. Volume two encompasses the worldviews of the Bible for Jews and Christians, the Holiness of God, Psalms in LXX, similarities in ancient Near Eastern narrative and Hebrew Bible, the Bible in the cultural settings of ancient Rome, Middle Ages, Oriental theologies, and contemporary cultural imperatives, and the function of biblical metaphors.
Negotiating for the Past
The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 was a landmark event in Egyptology that was celebrated around the world. Had Howard Carter found his prize a few years earlier, however, the treasures of Tut might now be in the British Museum in London rather than the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. That's because the years between World War I and World War II were a transitional period in Middle Eastern archaeology, as nationalists in Egypt and elsewhere asserted their claims to antiquities discovered within their borders. These claims were motivated by politics as much as by scholarship, with nationalists seeking to unite citizens through pride in their ancient past as they challenged Western pow...
