"My breast is inhabited by twin souls: the one a dadaist and the other a constructivist, German artist Timm Ulrichs jokes, and his colossal oeuvre, spanning a half-century, does indeed oscillate between irreverent performance and bright, Pop-ish take on the rigors of Constructivism. This volume surveys his works, from film to sculpture and painting."
"Mysterious and Paradoxical Photographic Works. It is an old question: what does a photograph actually show? Christiane Feser (b. Wurzburg, 1977; lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) has quite literally added new facets to it. At first glance, her pictures show repetitive geometric structures: rectangles and triangles that sometimes bulge out in a relieflike fashion but on the whole remain integrated in a rhythmical planar pattern. They ..."
"With historical-critical analysis and dialogical even-handedness, the essays of this book re-assess the life and legacy of Swami Vivekananda, forged at a time of colonial suppression, from the vantage point of socially-engaged religion at a time of global dislocations and international inequities. Due to the complexity of Vivekananda as a historical figure on the cusp of late modernity with its vast transformations, few works offer a co ..."
"The international group exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Ravensburg focuses on the face as a medium between the Self and the Other, as an interface between presence and representation.In dialogue between works from the early 20th century and ..."
"Essen’s Museum Folkwang has assembled the first museum exhibition of the work of German filmmaker, writer, philosopher and artist Alexander Kluge (born 1932) to mark the occasion of the 85th birthday of this artistic polymath. Kluge is primarily known to American audiences as a filmmaker and writer. But he has never been satisfied with confining himself to a single art form, and he has not confined himself to a conventional model of sin ..."
"Stretch is a comprehensive retrospective on the German sculptor Alexandra Bircken (born 1967), showing both early and new pieces. Her multilayered, meticulously constructed sculptures explore skin as covering, as an organ and a cellular structure, using plaster models, waxes, mannequin fragments and clothing."
"In this new book, his photographs accompany and punctuate the paintings, hinting that everything he paints ultimately derives from visible and seen reality, from immediate experience or its media representation.0The book, with essays by ..."

""Keine Tiefe ohne Oberfläche" gewährt Einblick in Marina Schulzes malerisches Werk der letzten drei Jahre, dessen Methodik auf konzentrierter Beobachtung, Detail und Vergrößerung basiert. Die Künstlerin, die ein starkes Interesse an Oberflächen bewegt, bringt Ausschnitte von Gesichtern und Körpern mit einer Genauigkeit auf die Fläche, die sich der fotografischen annähert. Wie herangezoomt werden die Hautausschnitte und mit ihnen jedes H ..."
"The photographs of Stefan Heyne (born 1965) are emphatically nonrepresentational. The artist omits elements that generally define a photograph, forgoing the use of any identifiable motif. Instead he creates abstract photographs that are honed to perfection by paring his imagery to a blurred play of light and shadows with no indication of form. In his most recent series of works, Heyne even avoids the use of soft focus as an artistic dev ..."
