Nika Kupyrova borrows her themes from literature and digital culture and translates them into large-scale multi-media installations that envision exhibition spaces as parallel worlds for the viewer to explore. HXWXD is the artist's first monograph that non-chronologically and playfully revisits four solo exhibitions over the last six years. HXWXD recognises the absurdity of publishing a book in the age of digital media and asks questions abo...

In February 2022, photographer Max Manavi-Huber traveled 2, 400 meters above sea level to the Great Rift Valley in Iten, Kenya. Considered to be one of the most wondrous natural landscapes in the world, the region is home to the majority of the country's world-class distance runners and elites in the making. With just a notebook, 30 rolls of Portra 400 film, and a vintage Mamiya RB67, Manavi-Huber set out to understand one of the world's most ...

The feeling of a new beginning after happily overcoming the millennium jump was abruptly ended with 9/11. Topics such as the ongoing turbo-capitalism, migration, the questioning of the cult of monuments, and the convergence of aesthetics and economy accompanied by a hypocritical handling of urgent environmental issues by western industrialized nations in the information age were decisive for artists. Both alienated nature and the observation o...

Sophie Thun agiert vielschichtig in den Handlungsräumen der Fotografie. Sie erforscht die Bedingungen der fotografischen Abbildung, um die Konstruktion von Bildern und von Identität sichtbar zu machen. Selbstbewusst und experimentierfreudig setzt sie dem klassischen Bild der Frau als Muse und Modell ein künstlerisches Werk entgegen, das traditionelle Blickregimes hinterfragt und bestehende Machtstrukturen aufbricht.

Judith Fegerl explores the possibilities of electrical energy as sculptural and imaging material in a techno-poetic way. In "on/" she provokes a reflection on the availability and use of resources in a site-specific, symbiotic setting. The exhibition has symbiotically merged with and switched on Kunstraum Dornbirn. Electricity flows. For Fegerl's sculptural works, however, the electricity comes not from the socket as usual but from a solar pow...

Two artists complementing each other in their conceptual approaches: Ingrid Wiener (* 1942) weaves inclusive worldviews, paints her dreams and takes photos of the vast landscapes of Canada from the plane. She creates a gigantic chess board of 64 carpets from an artistic correspondence of the everyday and sings as if inspired by a faraway protocol. Martin Roth (1977-2019) starts with painting, expands into space, creates landscapes, and devotes...

Diving into art means the dissolution of boundaries between the artwork and its recipients: a relationship that is usually captured under the aquatic metaphor of immersion. Accompanying an exhibition that brings together new and historical, temporary and permanent immersive works of contemporary art at the Museum unter Tage and Situation Kunst in Bochum, this catalog asks about the critical potential of an artistic engagement with artificial a...

In the annual progra...

In einer Zeit, in der die Restitution von Objekten, die durch die Kolonialmächte entwendet wurden, in den Museen hochaktuell ist, befasst sich Camille Kaiser mit einer umgekehrten Bewegung, nämlich der "künstlerischen Repatriierung" zahlreicher öffentlicher Denkmäler von Algerien nach Frankreich nach der Unabhängigkeitserklärung des Landes 1962. Indem sie die gewohnte Blickrichtung in den Debatten über das Kulturerbe vertauscht, wirft Camille ...

In her film installations, Isa Rosenberger weaves traces of history - forgotten or marginalised, often feminist and Jewish women's history - into multi-perspectival historiographies in which gaps and voids are constitutive. In the film realisation, Rosenberger uses montage: linguistic and visual, documentary and fictional narrative levels switch, fragment and join up again, always tied in with current issues and discourses. Taking this into ...

In a photo essay about her models, curated by the artist herself, she gives unprecedented insight into her practice. In addition, her use of models is contextualized by two...
