Working in photography, film, sculpture, performance and installation, Los Angeles-based artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) has established himself as one of the most original artists of his generation, with works that are at once visually seductive and conceptually challenging. This book documents Lassry's solo exhibition at the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea in Milan, Italy. With an essay by Aram Moshayedi (Curator at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles) and a conversation between the artist and Jorg Heiser (co-editor of "Frieze "magazine), it provides an in-depth critical examination of Lassry's work from the beginning of his career to the present.
Nature or culture? Nature and culture? The Swedish artist Henrik Hakansson walks a tightrope between these two poles. He brings them together, allows them to intermingle, collide with each other, and yet remain distinct. His latest work represents a kind of culmination of this process. This book follows and extends an exhibition at KODE Art Museum and Composer Homes in Bergen in Norway, where a tree has been dried out and dissected into 101 parts, to be put on display like a forest of sculptures. The natural entity becomes a work of art as a shared, fragmented environment. The publication captures a special atmosphere of meditative calm and vibrant diversity of meaning, and connects the Bergen piece to a selection of earlier works.
In conjunction with the 100-year anniversary of the Deutscher Kunstverlag, students at the Berlin University of the Arts took part in a competition. The aim was to examine the future of books as a print medium. The fascinating works selected-including video works, installations, and book-objects-were presented in an exhibition at municipal galleries. The catalogue documents the results, presents the artists and their works, and shows pictures of the exhibition. The presentation is supplemented by a foreword by the director of the publishing house, Katja Richter, welcoming remarks by the jury member Joerg Heiser, and an essay by Ilka Backmeister-Collacott that emphasizes the importance of the print medium in the age of technology in a declaration of love to the printed book.
