Luc Tuymans

Since the end of the 1980s, Belgian artist Luc Tuymans has been developing an extraordinarily complex work, combining the question of representation and representability--inherent in any kind of painting--with a radical charge of pictorial motives. Grounded in a structure that is coolly figurative and drawinglike, and materials that are always preprocessed and mediated (for example, Polaroid shots, newspaper clippings, film stills), Tuymans creates calm, small-format pictures of cropped landscapes, objects, architecture, and seemingly masked people. In their pastel haziness, often primed with white, his pictures evade concrete designation. This book presents a representative selection of Tuymans's works as well as a large group of specially created new works delimited by two central picture motifs: the cycle Die Zeit references the Holocaust, whereas Passion concerns the essence of religious belief.

Bulgarian artist Nedko Solakov has developed a distinctive body of installations and site specific works over the course of his 25-year career, which is characterized by an embrace of ephemerality, a playful humor and a touch of melancholy. This publication includes examples from the end of the 1980s to the present.

Since the 1960s Keith Sonnier's work has centered around artificial light, evoking through its materials a variety of associations with the aesthetics of advertisement and everyday life. Sculpture Light Space explores the artist's innovative way of blending light and architecture by means of two recent installations: one for a subterranean passage in the Mnchner Rck insurance company headquarters, another for a parish church in Upper Austria.

Die Kunst der französischen Moderne wurde in der Schweiz nirgendwo ausdauernder gepflegt als in Winterthur. Exemplarisch für diesen Aufbruch nach der Jahrhundertwende war die Sammlung des Winterthurer Textilfabrikanten Richard Bühler. Während der&nbsp; Wirtschaftskrise der 1930er-Jahre wurde die einmalige Kollektion aufgelöst. Jetzt stellt die reichhaltige Publikation Bühlers faszinierende Sammlung in den Mittelpunkt. Entlang von Hauptwerken wird diese wieder erfahrbar und bietet neben feiner Geistigkeit wahre Sinnenfreuden.

Since the 1960s, the installation has developed into an essential form of art. It confronts the audience with an abundance of information and a range of simultaneous events that constantly challenge the receptivity - an omnipresent condition in today' s knowledge society. In spatial installations, classical art forms are hardly encountered anymore; they are presented mainly with everyday objects, ready-mades and new media. The spectators find themselves in the middle of the work, all senses are addressed and especially film, video, light, sound, and smells expand the usual aesthetic experience into a holistic experience. Inner density is generated continuously by arranging the numerous impressions subjectively and assembling them situationally. Through the use of new digital media, installations have gained additional complexity. The clear demarcation between artwork and audience disintegrates in favour of multimedia spaces in which the world virtually seems out of joint. The publication World Out Of Joint demonstrates how contemporary art responds to today' s acute issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, crypto-evolution, ecology, identity politics and migration.

Installations full of wordplay ("spot the dog") and films full of sky: Welsh-Parisian Bethan Huws's work in a wide range of media plays well together on the page, in part because the kinetic scribbles of her colored-pencil storyboards share both the vivacity of her texts and the pastoral colors of her film.
