Frida Orupabo’s first monograph is published on the occasion of her exhibition at Kunsthall Trondheim. The book contains extensive documentation of her work, including social-media imagery the artist has been producing over the past several years, which forms an integral part of her artistic oeuvre.

This exhibition catalogue and research project delves into the cultural diplomacy of the Cold War, when modernist art became a flagship of freedom and democracy in the West, and took on the role of a symbolic overcoming of fascism.

This publication focuses on a single work of art: 5,000 Feet is the Best (2011) by artist Omer Fast. With this cinematic video work, Fast has entered into a discussion about one of the most pressing issues today, namely drone surveillance and warfare—that is, the use of unmanned planes operated by “pilots” on the ground.

The book is comprised of texts on Susanne Kriemann’s practice and its relation to the concept of Reading in a wider sense: reading photographs, archives, and texts and transforming these into new compositions with photography, urban space, and historiography.

The publication Animism (Volume I) brings together theoretical and artistic reflections on the history and contemporary relevance of animism.

Since the early 1980s, Friedl has written on a variety of subjects. The book Secret Modernity: Selected Writings and Interviews 1981–2009 compiles for the first time a representative selection of his (partly unpublished) texts, along with a series of interviews.

Wie in seinen künstlerischen Arbeiten zitiert und bearbeitet Friedl auch in seinen Texten die verschiedensten Genres. Es finden sich darunter Rezensionen und Portraits von George Sand und Clarice Lispector, von Theo van Doesburg, Alighiero Boetti und Jean-Luc Godard, Beiträge und Dokumente zur Theater- und Filmgeschichte, wie etwa zum symbolistischen Theater oder zur Arbeit von Richard Foreman, Robert Wilson, Lucinda Childs, Yoko Ono und Glauber Rocha, sowie Kommentare und Reflexionen zu den eigenen künstlerischen Projekten.

Erudite, baroque, a dazzling writer and painter but maniacal and all-encompassing in his approach, Roee Rosen keeps erasing the fine line that separates fiction and truth, imagination and reality, just as Sade and Lautréamont have done before him. But this division doesn’t exist anymore. What makes his summa erotica erotic is that, for him as for Georges Bataille, pornography is philosophy.

As a Weasel Sucks Eggs examines the enigmatic relation of melancholia to an early kind of cannibalism, which psychoanalysis, in particular, stressed. It contains readings of, amongst others, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Sigmund Freud, G. W. F. Hegel, and the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf.

The artists Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas are representing Lithuania at the 52nd Biennale di Venezia. This book documents the artistic process of the Villa Lituania project, from its inception in 2006 through to the realization of the first performance event and pavilion exhibition in June 2007. It collects the archival material associated with the challenge of building a pigeon loft in Rome, and a visual and textual artists’ diary.
