Pieter Hugo's images are unflinching and unforgettable. Beginning
with "Looking Aside," his series of portraits of marginalized
people, Hugo has striven to capture the African continent with
empathy and impartiality. Whether confronting the aftermath of
genocide in Rwanda, documenting electrical waste dumps in Ghana, or
photographing in Nigeria's dynamic film industry, Nollywood, Hugo
treats his subjects with reverence and awe. Including examples of
his most recent series taken in the U.S. and China, this book
offers stunning reproductions of Hugo's work in color and
black-and-white, accompanied by the photographer's personal
commentary. Bringing together more than a decade of work that has
elicited fulsome praise, this volume lets readers appreciate Pieter
Hugo's extraordinary oeuvre.
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg is
presenting its extensive collection of contemporary art in what
will be the largest survey of it to date. It includes more than 600
installations, groups of works, and large individual works of art
in all media, dating back to the crucial year of 1968. The spectrum
of the 100 artists ranges from Franz Ackermann, Doug Aitken, and
Firelei Baez, to Mithu Sen and Sam Taylor-Johnson, all the way to
Jeff Wall and Thomas Zipp. This elaborate, lavishly illustrated
vol- ume gathers texts written by about 100 international authors-
curators, directors, gallerists, collectors, and architects- on the
artists in the collection. It achieves a multifaceted, over all
pic- ture of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg's exquisite collection, as
well as an impressive panorama of contemporary art from 1968 to the
present.

Music videos are signs of their times, integral parts of their
contemporary culture, available worldwide, produced worldwide - a
nucleus of the global entertainment industry. In this brilliant
book, musical world culture meets an icon of German industrial
culture. The catalog accompanying the major exhibition at the
Voelklinger Hutte World Cultural Heritage Site is devoted to the
history and present of music videos. In the numerous text
contributions, musical, artistic and filmic quality are illuminated
as well as current topics: AI, climate change, political,
psychological and physical violence, and gender issues of all
kinds. The examples span from early forms of short music film to
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody from 1975 to empowerment scenes of the
2020s by Lady Gaga, Beyonce or The Carters. The result is a global
panorama of the genre and the art form of the music video that has
never been realized in this form before. The book brings together
around 90 music videos from more than 30 countries. Among the
musicians, artists and directors involved are: Laurie Anderson,
Roger Ballen, Joseph Beuys, Bjoerk, Childish Gambino, Chris
Cunningham, Daft Punk, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Pussy Riot,
Rammstein, Andy Warhol, Zoot Woman and many more.
