The oeuvre of the Leipzig-based artist Hans Aichinger (1959) is dedicated to the representational. Figural compositions with a great density of content that can be ascribed to the New Leipzig School are executed in a hyper-realistic manner of painting and virtuoso artistic technique.
These whimsical sculptures blend humor and art history Berlin-based painter and sculptor Sebastian Neeb (born 1980) creates playful objects--such as carved wooden sausages, golden trophies for nonsensical achievements or portraits evoking the Baroque or Renaissance with added folded paper noses.
With the exhibition VANISHING POINTS 2014-2020 at REITER, the Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama (*1987) has his first solo show in a German gallery. For his large, site-specific installation, the artist has arranged a hundred old wheelbarrows, which he collected from workers in Ghana, giving them new ones in return. The rusty, worn wheelbarrows bear the obvious marks of daily hard labor and can be understood as a symbol of that. They also represent the construction that manifests in architecture throughout the history of the artists' homeland. At the same time the work can also be regarded in the context of his project Parliament of Ghosts, which was on display in Tamale, Ghana, in 2020. It is a forum for debate that also carries on with the idea of social sculpture. Both projects in Tamale and Leipzig are documented in the book.

This collection of moody landscapes and figure studies by the Leipzig painter Miriam Vlaming spans from 2003-2007. Essayist Jörg Böckem suggests that Vlaming's work gives shape to longing. Here, "melancholy has nothing to do with depression or misery; melancholy is a special form of luck. In Vlaming's pictures, this luck can be found."
"The publication 'Kapitulation' is an intense view of the pictorial thought processes of the Leipzig photographer Steffen Junghans (1963). Junghans sees himself as a photographer who finds phenomena with his camera, and stages them in such a way as to create precise, concise images. The serial production of these images is also an examination of complex ideas concerning diverse thematic areas. While the series 'Einrichten and Moderne Werkstatten' emphasised the visual aspects of scientific models, the group of works 'Kapitulation' brings to the fore, both the stringency and the openness of Steffen Junghans' viewpoint. In a new and independent way, his works investigate the potential of photography; its role as a medium of image creation that simultaneously represents reality and depicts reflection."--Publisher's website.
"Sebastian Schrader's paintings tell of lingering, slowness, and refusing hectic rhythms of time in a way that is picturesquely agile and persistent." (Christoph Tannert)
This contributed volume collects research papers, presented at the CIRP Sponsored Conference Robust Manufacturing Control: Innovative and Interdisciplinary Approaches for Global Networks (RoMaC 2012, Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany, June 18th-20th 2012). These research papers present the latest developments and new ideas focusing on robust manufacturing control for global networks. Today, Global Production Networks (i.e. the nexus of interconnected material and information flows through which products and services are manufactured, assembled and distributed) are confronted with and expected to adapt to: sudden and unpredictable large-scale changes of important parameters which are occurri...
