History & Criticism

Damascus 2008: three people suddenly disappear. Zaat al-Abed, a presumed secret agent, Leena Kilkka, curator of the Damascus Biennial, an event that never happens , and a flâneur, whose diary is accidentally lost and found. 'Damascus: Tourists, Artists, Secret Agents' is a pseudo-fictitious encounter of artists, dancers, secret agents, speculative writers, lovers, film-makers and photographers who come together to unravel the rumours, questions and traces of the mysterious disappearances that happen in the subconscious urban setting of one of the world's oldest cities. The idiosyncratic novel is the outcome of a 'Reloading Images' collaboration and an ongoing platform for artistic research, involving more than thirty international artists and writers.

Damascus: Tourists, Artists, Secret Agents

A central figure in the Berlin Dada circle, friend to Kurt Schwitters and Piet Mondrian and lover of Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch (1889-1972) is probably the most important female artist from the German modernist period. She is best known for her pioneering works of photomontage, which briskly juxtapose mechanical and organic forms, ancient and contemporary bodies, symbols and text drawn from brands and headlines, also edging feminism, commodity critique and other political concerns into the mix. "It is striking how contemporary to us much of Höch's work feels," Luc Sante wrote recently, "in its sexual politics, its humor, its gleeful appropriation of anything and everything at hand." In 1945, Höch made this fantastical full-color children's book, which chronicles the adventures of the four mythical creatures Runfast, Dumblet, Snifty and Meyer in an enchanted garden, combining photomontage with the hallucinatory plant imagery she had come to favor. It is published here for the first time.

A visual and literary companion to Omer Fast's films, In Memory explicates the narrative conceits and theories of documentary and narrative layering that animate the artist's work. Fast (born 1972) is best known for his films CNN Concatenated (2002), The Casting (2007) and Nostalgia (2009).

Curating In The Caribbean

Kader Attias much-lauded piece, The Repair from Occident to Extra-Occidental Cultures, was one of the central works of dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel. In its entirety, the work constitutes a museum of cultural exchange between the African continent and the former colonial powers of Europe, from well-known references to traditional African sculpture in Modernist art to the jewellery that African artisans create from such things as cartridge cases. The interplay of these objects results in a complex picture of reciprocal influence between colonial and post-colonial cultures. Besides numerous images, the book includes text contributions by Chus Martinez, Jacinto Lageira and Manthia Diawara.

EDITED

Published on the occasion of an exhibition of work by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, winner of the Zurich Art Prize 2013, this catalogue offers critical insight into the artists unique creative cycle. Rojas is known for site-specific sculptures and installations, usually transient in nature, which he develops from conceptual drawings and constructs out of clay, cement, wood and mud. The work process is documented in photos by the artist, which in turn serve as a basis for his watercolours. Influenced by manga, a sense of loss and the state of humanity, his engrossing vision is both poetic and metaphysical. Includes essays by Sabine Schaschl, Matheus Frey and Ariel Torti.
