"This season's most-anticipated first outing." (Vogue) "A Lynchian reinterpretation of The Virgin Suicides." (Observer) "An astonishing debut that will burrow under your skin." (Sunday Times) In Falls Landing, Florida - a place built of theme parks, swampy lakes, and scorched bougainvillea flowers - something sinister lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively orbit around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is mesmerizing, older, and in love with Eddie. But suddenly, Sammy goes missing. Where is she? Watching from a distance, they edge ever closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry town and the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they uncover will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Through a darkly beautiful and brutally compelling lens, Dizz Tate captures the violence, horrors, and manic joys of girlhood. Brutes is a novel about the seemingly unbreakable bonds in the 'we' of young friendship, and the moment it is broken forever.

Fantastic landscapes and fictional narratives, paired with the neon-colored light shows of Berlin's nightlife-the latest paintings, VR installations and poems by American artist Brandon Lipchik offer glimpses into his own personal wonderland. He presents his dark but also humorous scenes, which are bursting with homoerotic references, on the screen like a director presents his plays on a theater stage. With this new cycle of works, the Kunstpalais presents the world's first institutional solo exhibition of Brandon Lipchik. The richly illustrated publication is both an exhibition catalogue and an overview of the artist's oeuvre to date. Beyond that, it also shows influences, ideas, and digital work processes in a section designed by the artist himself.

In the digital age, reality itself faces profound revolutions. The everyday, cohabitation, labour, our perception, and our senses radically shift into virtuality. In images and displays, installations, performances, and films, Anna K.E. (*1986) and Florian Meisenberg (*1980) explore the complex effects and repercussions of the latest technologies on the analogous world and the human body. For the Kunstpalais Erlangen, they have devised their collaborative exhibition as an associative circuit, which, both textually and visually multiplied, will continue within this intricately designed artist book.
