AWAY
Since 2016 AWAY - a project around residencies, under the leadership of Alexandra Grausam, has been highlighting the renowned Artists Residency Program, in which the Federal Chancellery of Austria has been sending local artists into the world since the 1970s. With the exhibition Stories from abroad, in the same year, this important area of Austrian art funding was made visibile to the broader public for the first time. A theoretical examination of the topic took place in talks and a symposium with experts, comprised in the Laboratory, AWAY's discursive program.0The book is divided into five parts, each containing a theoretical text as well as an artistic contributions, statements and diary e...

Jeff Wall
In his impressive analysis Stefan Banz examines how Jeff Wall uses camera, computer, actors and specialists to generate a visual performance that provokes epistemological questions in the viewer; illustrates how the artist - beyond avant-garde criteria - develops a sophisticated and engaging visual feel, which deals both with the everyday but also with the history of art; and explores meticulously how he reflects the role of the recipient in his compositions.In this sense, Banz shows with the eyes of an active observer how art has an inexhaustible metaphorical power for Wall, which enriches and upsets our visual concepts. And he also creates new, startling references between his photographic works and paintings by such different artists like Diego Velázquez, Jan Vermeer, Claude Monet, Frederic Remington, Hans Emmenegger, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.
Jonas Kaufmann
'One of the most sought-after tenors with the stamina and heft for Wagner and the ardent warmth for Italian opera' New York Times Jonas Kaufmann is a phenomenon. With his musicality, his vocal technique and his expressive powers - to say nothing of his matinée-idol good looks - he is widely regarded as the greatest tenor of today. Thomas Voigt's intimate biography, written in collaboration with Kaufmann, reflects on the singer's artistic development in recent years; his work in the recording studio; his relationship to Verdi and Wagner; the sacrifices of success; and much more. It gives unparalleled insight into the world of one of the most captivating opera singers of the international stage. WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PLÁCIDO DOMINGO, ANJA HARTEROS, ANTONIO PAPPANO AND MANY MORE 'Mr Voigt's journalistic credentials are impeccable ... Mr Kaufmann goes into detail on the physical demands of his art; he speaks eloquently on the fear to which all singers are prone' The Economist
Jason Dodge
Jason Dodge's meticulous sculptures--of such everyday objects as plumbing pipes, satellite dishes and light bulbs--deliberately belie the considerable labor put into them, whether by the artist or commissioned laborers. Reproducing works as installed for exhibition, this volume also demonstrates how Dodge builds narratives between the objects.
Marcel Duchamp: Richard Mutt's Fountain
Stefan Banz rassemble des preuves et des documents jusqu'alors inconnus sur l'émergence, la disparition et la réception du célèbre readymade de Marcel Duchamp, Fontaine, et offre une perspective nouvelle sur cette œuvre qui apparaît comme la plus importante du XXe siècle. Stefan Banz examine en détail les cinq différentes répliques de Fountain réalisées en 1918, 1938, 1950, 1963 et 1964. Cette œuvre questionne la question de l'auteur et elle est posée pour la première fois dans l'histoire par des moyens artistiques. On découvre dans son étude que l'urinoir des deux photographies de Roché de 1918 n'est pas le même modèle que celui de la célèbre photographie de Stieglitz ...

Volume 1
What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein’s thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--“seeing as”, “picture games” and the dichotomy of “saying and showing”--play in the field of picture theory today. This first volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers interested in the history and theory of images, and in the philosophy of Wittgenstein.
