<br>At the center of Cahn’s oeuvre are several recurring motifs that the artist defined very early on in her practice. Although in no way a closed set — additions or alterations do occur — these motifs remain bound to representations of the self and the exterior as its correlative part, the inner and the outer space, the homely and the un-homely, the human and the inhuman, the steady flow of history and the catastrophic rupture of the present, and, finally, and most overarchingly, the feminine and the masculine, which is the general antinomy that structures all the subsequent ones.<br>

<p><div>Visitors were forewarned, a hand-written sign announcing: "The museum testifies to the thousand year history, work and labour of our ancestors. The exhibition extends for over 5000 m²." From the outset, it was a utopian undertaking. Not without reason does the lama monastery Shangri-La from James Hilton's novel <i>Lost Horizon</i> serve as namesake to this museum. Pietro Benzi (1931 - 2014) maintained the project from 1965 onwards. He collected what they no longer wanted, what had become antiquated or gone out of fashion: 2.7 million everyday objects, many of which were household effects, religious kitsch, knick-knacks, shoes and plastic toys. This photographic essay takes the viewer on a journey inside his unsystematic collection.</div></p>

<p>The present artists' book documents the work and the 2017 Oberrheinischer Kunstpreis. Together with Peter Vogel, the exhibition's curator Bernhard Serexhe developed the concept for the book and the exhibition in early 2017. His study of the work and an essay by the cultural scholar Klaus Theweleit offer profound insights into an important body of work that has now come full circle.</p>

<p><div>Manfred Mohr is amongst the international pioneers of digital art. Before and after studying at the École des Beaux-Arts (1963-66), he began to deploy computers within his own artistic productions. Since the 1970s, he has been developing mathematical-aesthetic experiments of increasing complexity - including n-dimensional hypercubes, calculable but no longer conceivable. Manfred Mohr grants them form and thus makes them sensually palpable. This publication is released in conjunction with the exhibition at the Pforzheim Galerie (GER) and documents the large-scale retrospective with works from all periods of Mohr's practice.</div></p>

History & Criticism

<p>About the Author      Freelance Curator and Writer Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (pseudonym Louis de Marsalle; born May 6, 1880 in Aschaffenburg, † June 15, 1938 in Frauenkirch-Wildboden near Davos / Switzerland) was a German painter and graphic artist and one of the most important representatives of Expressionism. Kirchner was a founding member of the artist group Brücke.      Product Description      The small format oilcloth booklets that Ernst Ludwig Kirchner fills throughout his life, page for page with pencil, crayon, chalk, Ink, watercolor paints or charcoal, were for him, who didn't spend a day without a sketchbook, drawn diaries, documentation, and experiment room. The masterly talent of the painter for drawing is revealed in them. With a few precise strokes he could capture whole sceneries. Kirchner recorded everything his artistic eye appealed to him for painting and sometimes animated to write. The inconspicuous black booklets form their own and unique genre in Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's oeuvre and are among the most important original documents for art historical research. For the very first time, they were published within the publication for the exhibition “Kirchner’s Sketchbook. From Pencil Stroke To Hologram” in Kirchner Museum Davos. The sketchbooks show, which like no other genre, motive groups occupied Kirchner throughout his life and how he got his stylistic development from the street scenes to the New Style in thousands of sketches worked out. Based on their studies, it is possible tracing genesis from draft to finished painting.</p>
