The Politics of Media Scarcity
This book questions the predominance of “media abundance” as a guiding concept for contemporary mediated politics. The authors argue that media abundance is not a universal condition, and that certain individuals, communities, and even nations can more accurately be referred to as media scarce – where access to media technologies and content is limited, highly controlled, or surveilled. Through case studies that focus on guerilla militants, incarcerated Indigenous people, and cold war‐era infrastructure, including Soviet “closed” or “secret” cities and Canadian nuclear bunkers, the book’s chapters interrogate how the once media scarce later “speak” to – and can be hea...
CrossSections
This book documents the “CrossSections” project (2017–2019), an interdisciplinary platform for artistic research, artistic dialogue, and artistic production curated by Başak Şenova. In collaboration with 19 artists and nine institutions, Şenova developed and tested new strategies of artistic research and new ways of exhibiting, through artist-in-residence programs, exhibitions, performances, and presentations in Vienna, Helsinki, and Stockholm. In 56 contributions, the book documents all aspects of the “CrossSections” project, tracking and presenting different forms and methods of artistic practice and collaboration developed under constantly changing conditions and circumstances.

Gregor Sailer
The artist is interested in the structural transformation of landscape and the complex political, military, and economic implications of architecture. This takes him to remote, inhospitable parts of the world, Potemkin villages and places that are only accessible to a few people. Sailer's photos are deserted, the buildings on them often seem like sculptures. Whether climate change, political conflicts, or an excessive need for security - Sailer's pictures reveal the dynamics that lead to the existence of these places. KUNST HAUS WIEN is dedicating a first major exhibition in Austria to Gregor Sailer. The Tyrolean photo artist, born in 1980, has received many awards, his photos have been shown in numerous publications and exhibitions and are represented in public and private collections
Peter Dressler
Das Kunst Haus Wien würdigt mit der ersten Retrospektive in Wien das Werk von Peter Dressler, ein Werk in dem die Stadt Wien eine zentrale Position einnimmt. Wie wenige andere Persönlichkeiten hat Dressler (1942 ? 2013) als Fotograf und Filmemacher, Akademielehrer, Sammler und kritischer Teilnehmer der Kunstszene die österreichische Fotografie seit den 1970er-Jahren mit beeinflusst. Dresslers künstlerisches Interesse am Medium Fotografie hat seit jeher die Faszination für die Geschichte des Mediums eingeschlossen. Den Stoff seiner frühen dokumentarischen Serien und Bild-Erzählungen findet Dressler in Wien, dort, wie er selbst sagt, "wo noch die Substanz, Qualität, schlechthin die Magie des Alltäglichen in hohem Mass vorhanden ist".00Exhibition: Kunst Haus Wien: Museum Hundertwasser, Vienna, Austria (16.11.2016-05.03.2017).
Illuminance
In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi launched her career with the simultaneous publication of three astonishing photobooksUtatane, Hanabi, and Hanakofirmly establishing her as one of the most innovative newcomers to contemporary photography, not just in Japan, but across the globe. In the years that followed, she published other notable monographs, including Aila (2004), The Eyes, the Ears (2005), and Semear (2007). And now, ten years after her precipitous entry onto the international stage, Aperture is delighted to publish Illuminance, the latest volume of Kawauchis work and the first to be published outside of Japan. Kawauchis work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand composit...
