<p>Each of Mona Hatoum's works can be read as a formula for human existence, expressed in a penetrating visual language that is both complex and puzzling. As the artist herself points out, iOneis first experience of a work of art is physical. I appreciate works that have sensual as well as intellectual impact. Meanings, connotations, and associations begin to emerge only after the initial physical experience, when the imagination, the intellect, and the psyche are ignited by what one has seen.i The daughter of Palestinian parents, Hatoum has long been regarded in Great Britain and the U.S. as one of the most important artists of her generation. Born in Lebanon in 1952 and a resident of London since 1975, her sensitivity to themes of power and identity has been heightened by a life lived outside her homeland. Many of her objects, video pieces, and installations deal with aspects of institutionalized violence and the vulnerability of the individual; her central point of reference is the body, in many cases her own. This is the first book to document the full breadth of Mona Hatoum's oeuvre, up to and including her most recent projects.</p>

In addition to space, time is a central coordinate of human existence and yet remains an enigmatic and paradoxical phenomenon, since objective chronometry is often quite different from the individual perception of time. In an age of increasing speed and acceleration, contemporary art reveals a tendency towards slowness and an acute consciousness of time. This catalogue outlines the changing understanding of time and presents contemporary aesthetic positions.

<p>How can the silence in contemporary art be made visible and even audible? And what is the intention of art in its attempt? This volume aims to answer these questions. The topic of silence is treated as a medial reflection in a broad panorama of installations, performances, video, films, photos, and drawings in different artistic ways and thus made tangible. The interdisciplinary project includes works by around 50 international artists such as Marina Abramovic, Jane Benson, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Hanne Darboven, Jonathan Monk, Nam June Paik, Timm Ulrichs, Jorinde Voigt, and others.</p>

History & Criticism

As the renewer of art in the 20th century, Wassily Kandinsky created roughly 230 woodcuts, linocuts, et?chings, lithographs and posters. From 1 901 until the final years of his life, his work was accompanied by a steady output of prints, some of which were based on previously created paintings, and some of which were completely independent works of art. Nearly his complete oeuvre is presented in this book accom?panying an exhibition at the St,dtische Galerie Len bachhaus in Munich. For the first time ever the entire graphic works of Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1 944) is presented in an ex?tensive exhibition (from Oct 25th, 2008 ? Feb 22nd, 2009).
