Pacific Century - E Ho'amau no Moananiakea is a substantial publication and catalogue published on the occasion of the Hawai'i Triennial 2022 (HT22), providing key art historical backgrounds and contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference for the Asia-Pacific region. Curatorial essays by the HT22 co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the framework of the Triennial with the fluid concept of a Pacific Century, while a selection of previously published seminal texts by artists and scholars reflect on the expanded field of art history in the region. Also included is a newly commissioned conversation with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that continues to carve out a new discursive space where the marginalized find their agency. Each participating Triennial artist is included in a dedicated section with an original introductory text, work information, and images. Pacific Century - E Ho'amau no Moananiakea/i> will be an essential resource for critical exploration of contemporary art in Asia-Pacific at large.

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.

This first monograph by N. Dash provides a comprehensive overview of the work of this emerging American artist, whose work operates within diverse media and materials. In her abstract and process-oriented works, N. Dash uses natural as well as man-made substances such as pigments, clay, jute, graphite, fabric, string, Styrofoam, or found objects to explore intuitive, touch-based communication systems. With her focus on the visual and tactile qualities of material, N. Dash's work combines the raw with the sensitive, the abject with the beautiful. The text contributions place her work in art historical and anthropological contexts.
