Pivotal in modern art’s move towards abstraction, Piet Mondrian’s oeuvre is extraordinarily versatile and complex. Not only did he paint and draw, he also wrote extensively about his thoughts and theories on art and life. Moving from traditional Dutch landscape painting to a pronounced rhythmic framework focusing on compositional structure rather than naturalistic representation, Mondrian was profoundly impressed by contemporary culture. Thus, he was not only inspired by the pattern of the extensive Dutch canal system, but also by the rhythm of jazz and the foxtrot. Demonstrating the impact of his oeuvre, Yves Saint-Laurent's famous "Mondrian Dress" even made him a fashion icon posthumously. Celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth, Ulf Küster entertainingly leads through well- and lesser-known aspects of Mondrian's life and work offering inspiring impulses for reflection and further engagement with the fascinating artist.

The artists AROTIN & SERGHEI question the predominate language of our time: the constant visual observation of the infinite metamorphosis of “light cells�, the smallest components of digital imagery. Their most recent work, Infinite Screen, grapples with themes of endless space, the illusionary surface of images, and the genesis of light. This publication is a survey of the development of Infinite Screen over several cycles of intermedia drawings, pictures, installations, sculptures and compositions within constantly evolving parameters of scientific, mythological, philosophical, and architectural frameworks. The project 'Infinite Screen' was realized in several large-scale variations at Ars Electronica, the Venice Biennial, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and the Beyeler Foundation.
