Using the theme of Currency to invite reflection on the
contemporary power of the photograph to relay and relate meaning
across distance, the Triennial of Photography Hamburg explores the
value of photography in the 21st century. The extension of this
economic term to art and visual culture allows for a sustained
engagement with photography and its relationship to value-making,
canon-making, access, circulation, and knowledge production. At a
time when the production, distribution, and consumption of
photographic images has become ubiquitous and we have learned to
structure our contemporary world through a lens, the digital image
has become the currency of exchange on social platforms. Fostering
interdisciplinary dialogue, the Critical Reader Lucid Knowledge:
The Currency of the Photographic Image gathers international
perspectives that reflect on how photography shapes today's
narratives, as well as our perception and experience of the world.

"Active Withdrawals" is an anthology of essays addressing the
institutionalisation of artistic practices and the act of
withdrawals seeking out of places of contemplation and retreat that
are often adopted in Eastern art. The book critiques the growing
desire for museums and galleries to become recognised as places of
artistic institutions and exposes concerns surrounding the
institutionalisation of artist s work, covering artistic practices
across Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, China and South East Asia.
Drawing from a seminar that took place in July 2013, the book
challenges the institutional structure that has become prominent
within the art world and often drives and defines its output.
Including writings from some of the worlds most prominent curators,
including Biljana Ciric, Maria Lind and Lina Dzuverovic, a large
focus of this anthology explores issues beyond a Western context
and avoids a geographical grouping to the writers concerns.
Instead, the publication is structured in such a way that the voice
of each writer resonates throughout, combining to create a
thoughtful and significant commentary on a largely neglected
topic."
