"This magnificent volume takes the reader on an inspiring journey into the world of two completely different materials: ash and gold. It dares a unique insight into a tense relationship between the two by asking what values ash and gold epitomize within society and what myths surround the oldest materials known to human civilization. It also explores to what end they have been used in the visual arts beyond the purely decorative. With ne ..."
"The construction of identity has been among art’s primary topics since the first portrait was painted, and the camera has proven an ideal instrument for wholly reappraising and reinventing it. That’s Me: Photographic Self-Images explores the self-portrait genre through works by Valie Export, Aino Kannisto, Elke Krystufek, Jürgen Klauke, Martin Liebscher, Christopher Makos, Rudolf Schwarzkogler and Cindy Sherman."
"Tiere sind seit jeher Begleiter des Menschen - ob als Nahrungsmittel, Arbeitskraft oder als soziale Gefährten. Während die Anzahl der Haustiere und Serviceangebote für Vierbeiner jährlich steigen, verschwinden "echte" Tiere immer weiter aus dem Blickfeld. So können Tiere heute nahezu ganz nach der Vorstellung des Menschen optimiert werden: Sie entstehen im Labor, werden als Organspender gezüchtet und ihr Fleisch wächst in einer Petrisch ..."
"Erik Schmidt has hunting fever. This, his latest work, focuses on the sport as used in the aristocracy to stage-manage social image. Hunting is a social game, a fixed convention--and so the artist lay in wait, observed the codes, apparel and gestures, and was allowed to slip into character. The resulting works in film and painting pick up on the sport's classic visual theme, but Schmidt's plan of attack is conceptual: In taking on the r ..."
"The designers and artists in this publication evaluate human-animal relations and design scenarios for a different future 'Real' animals are increasingly disappearing. Today, animals are 'optimised' almost entirely based on the ideas of people: they are created in the laboratory, bred as organ donors, and their flesh is grown in petri dishes. How are common perceptions of animals changing as a result The designers and artists in the pub ..."

"Eva & Adele treten seit 1989 auf Vernissagen von Ausstellungen und bei Kunstmessen auf. Dabei erscheinen sie mit kahlgeschorenen Köpfen und grell geschminkten Gesichtern in exzentrischen, oft pinkfarbenen Kleidern mit Stöckelschuhen und Handtäschchen. Obwohl ihr Äußeres weiblich konnotiert ist, verbergen Eva & Adele ihre reale Identität und plädieren für eine Geschlechtsidentität, die nicht durch die Gesellschaft definiert, sondern frei ..."
