Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) MigraTouriSpace is an artistic examination of travelling as an approach to the phenomena of migration and tourism, and of the many ways in which they overlap. Understanding that when people travel they also take with them spaces and images means that tourism no longer inevitably refers to the vacation as an exceptional state. Brought back home, the tourist's gaze has long operated to shape everyday life. For three years, artist Stefanie Burkle and her interdisciplinary team travelled between Berlin and South Korea, photographing and filming. The result of this research is an atlas of images, with places such as the Vietnamese wholesale market Dong Xuan Center in Berlin Lichtenberg and the German Village, Dogil Maeul, in South Korea, that demonstrates the tension between a migration of culturally coded spatial contexts and post-touristic practices. With a preface by Martina Loew

Over the past thirty years, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor has expressed himself on numerous occasions and in a range of contexts about his work and his self-conception as an architect. Many of these statements have been recorded on film. Christoph Schaub, Swiss film director and internationally renowned author of documentaries on architects and architecture, has composed a biographic film collage from this rich legacy of interviews and conversations, lectures, and public talks. It spans Zumthor's entire career from early days in the 1980s until today, including conversations with Schaub recorded for this compilation. This portrait also introduces us to Zumthor as a persona that has changed over three decades, yet still remained much the same man. Authentic, abiding, and passionately he responds to questions about his positions. His statements reveal sensitivity and consistency; they demonstrate a person following his inner compass and ideals. Christoph Schaub has conceived this biographic collage in collaboration with Atelier Peter Zumthor to coincide with the exhibition Dear to Me, curated by Zumthor, at Kunsthaus Bregenz in autumn 2017. DVD has English subtitles.

Vincent van Gogh becomes only 37 years old. Only the last 10 years of his life he is engaged in painting. Restlessly and exhausting he travels through the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain and France. Together with his colleagues Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin he is regarded today as one of the most important artists of the expressionism movement. This comic guide, written and drawn by Willi Bloss, catches the main marks of the master's life and refers optically to the unerring style that van Gogh used for his sketches

At the end of the 1970 years Keith Haring decorates the walls of the subway tunnels in New York with simple, two-dimensional characters. His tag is "The Radiant Child." In contrast to the graffiti scene, which consists of little more than repetitions of such tags, Keith develops a diverse language of symbols. They seem to be mystic messages. In 1990 Haring dies, aged 31, from AIDS.

"...bombings, German sappers, restorers and rebuilders have totally wiped my modern works. Only the buildings which represent the bureaucratic side of my job as public officer forced to obey, have survived." (from a letter to B.Zevi 9/1974). The Heating plant of the railway station of Florence is a piece of a jigsaw puzzle which miraculously survived to restorers and rebuilders who could have erased any trace of it. This survived fragment, tells either the story of architecture between monumentalism, rationalism and futurism or the complex personality of its architect.

This 1728 folio of architect James Gibbs includes perspectives and blueprints for such commissions as London's St Martin's-in-the-Fields which is the standard for many churches that followed, the Senate House of the University of Cambridge plus fine drawings of marble cisterns, iron gates, funeral monuments and more.

Today, the Kunsthaus Graz is integral to the urban identity of Austria's second-largest city. The "friendly alien" designed by architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier has become a familiar object in the city since landing in 2003. But views on the building have changed with the times. Looking back at nearly twenty years of history since the building's creation, the book opens up a kaleidoscopic perspective with a primary focus on how the Kunsthaus is used. It contextualizes the Kunsthaus Graz both locally and globally while exploring its relation to those who use it. With written contributions by Barbara Steiner, Sophia Walk, Pablo von Frankenberg, Anselm Wagner, Katia Huemer, Niels Jonkhans, Elisabeth Schloegl, Peter Cook, and Colin Fournier, and photographic contributions by Arthur Zalewski and Martin Grabner
