The result of a collaboration between filmmaker Harmony Korine and painter Christopher Wool, this series of experimental images tests the limits of the pictorial and the abstract, pushing the boundaries of visual and textual narrative to extremes. Korine's photographs form the basis of an intense process of layering, drawing, overprinting, and photocopying. Passed back and forth between the artists, these images are eventually reduced to ghostly shadows beneath a barrage of scumbled dot screens, random patterning, and symbolic blurs and drips. Gradually, the fragmented, distorted images serially mutate, attacked by a combination of mechanical and human processes. Yet despite the violence exerted upon it, a vestige of narrative always survives.

History & Criticism

In this photographic study of the Frankfurt International Airport, Vera Lutter transforms a place of passage, characterized by constant comings and goings, into something still and frozen in light. Lutter responds to the hectic activity of this "hub for a myriad of movements" by taking hold of the airport's various containers and coverings--be they airplane fuselages or the giant hangers where the flying machines are serviced--with an artistic technique whose spatial contents consist of emptiness. Using a camera obscura, that most primal form of modern photography, she captures all the movements that occur during the period of exposure and within its field of vision, and brings them to a standstill. The provisional image receptacles that Lutter constructs are themselves associated with travel: suitcases or a freight container with holes drilled into them and light-sensitive paper lining their back walls. Light in Transit, the first book published on Lutter's work, presents a part of Void Transfer, her long-term project about contemporary ideas of mobility.

On February 26, 2003, Martin Kippenberger would have turned 50. In commemoration of his birthday, gallerist Max Hetzler presents this volume in which artists, critics, art historians and authors have written highly personal testimonies to Kippenberger, who was a friend, role model and source of irritation all in one. Kippenberger's forceful presence is doubly testified to by the artwork, snapshots and ephemera scattered throughout.

Between 1994 and 1995, Christopher Wool shot a series of photographs in downtown New York City that he calls East Broadway Breakdown, after a street on the Lower East Side, the neighborhood where he lives and works. Taken at night using a 35 mm camera, the pictures feature the city's signature streets with their dilapidated storefronts and ramshackle staircases leading up to anonymous spaces. The high contrast images are often hard to read, producing, rather than coherent images, seemingly random forms that emerge from skewed camera angles. Like his paintings, Wool's photographs hover between abstraction and representation, forcing viewers to confront their desire for visual coherence while offering an alternative construct for picture-making today.

Born in 1971, painter Tim Eitel is one of the leading representatives of the Leipzig school, and belongs to a group of young German artists currently giving impetus to the return of painting to contemporary art. Eitel creates sharply observed, figurative, and non-judgemental images of his generation and their social and cultural interaction. His painterly oeuvre is reminiscent of photographic and film images of the 1990s. Accompanies the exhibition at the Museum zu Allerheiligen/ Kunstverein Schaffhausen and features the majority of Eitel's paintings to date.
