Printing makes graphic design born physically. This “Printing” issue reviews contemporary printing culture from the viewpoint of graphic design. We visited four noteworthy printers in The Netherlands each of whom represent the current culture in printing. We also visited the studio of Karel Martens (Dutch graphic designer) who is well known for having fully-embraced printing into his design process. Graphic designers such as Harmen Liemburg, Hans Gremmen, The Uses of Literacy were invited to show their own “Printing Work”.

Magazin für konzeptionelles Gestalten
Texte auf Deutsch
19,80 Euro

Gestaltung lebt von originären Einfällen. Diese stets aufs Neue zu generieren ist eine Herausforderung, die sich seit dem Anschluss an die vernetzten Archive der Welt und ihren ästhetischen Ausdrucksformen verändert hat. Die Fülle der verfügbaren Anregungen in Bild und Schrift macht es notwendig, die Strategien der Gestaltung zu durchdenken und Konzepte als Basis gestalterischer Entwürfe zu begreifen. GUM 11 stellt Beispiele konzeptionellen Gestaltens vor, die am Fachbereich Gestaltung der FH Bielefeld entstanden sind, begleitet von Texten, die der konzeptionellen Gestaltung als Prinzip Konturen verleihen. Mode, Fotografie und Medien sowie Grafik- und Kommunikationsdesign treten in einen Dialog zwischen Gestaltung und Theoriebildung.

Desert Cities

Aglaia Konrad
Texte auf Englisch
48,00 Euro

Aglaia Konrad focuses a direct gaze on programmed city extensions of Cairo such as 10th of Ramadan City, 15th of May City, Dreamland etc. This is not classic architectural or documentary photography: her way of seeing things is unadorned and draws our attention straight to the history of the real setting. The photographs show the application of “modernist” principles to architectual development in desert landscapes. They spotlight an improbable dialogue between imported models and vernacular elements, constructions and sites, desert and communities, modernity and tradition.

Designed by Mevis & Van Deursen this publication is part of the series of artists’ projects edited by Christoph Keller.

Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Mond scheint am Himmel, den man nicht sehen kann. Drei kleine Lichtflecke zwischen den Bäumen, als Schatten zu erkennen. Drei wohlwollend brennende Kerzendochte, eine Flasche Wein, die nach unten sich abzeichnet. Gnädige Frau zittert ein bisschen. Ist gut ausgeleuchtet, von der linken Seite. Wie ich ausgeleuchtet bin, weiss ich nicht. Stellen sie sich vor, ich wäre gut ausgeleuchtet. Das Licht kommt von oben, was immer besser ist als von unten, weil dann sieht man hässlicher aus. Für diese Jahreszeit hat man das Gefühl, man wäre 2000 Meter überm Meeresspiegel, vielleicht. Man klopft an Holztisch, man sitzt an Holzstuhl, vor einer Burgruine.

Picture a moon, shining in the sky, that no one can see. Three small spots of light between the trees, the trees visible as shadows. Three benevolent candle wicks burning, a bottle of wine emerging from its own base. Madame is trembling a little. Is well-lit, from the left side, how i am lit i don’t know. Picture that I am well-lit. The light comes from above, which is always better than below, from below you look uglier. This time of year gives the feeling that one is 2000 meters above sea level, something like that. We knock on a wooden table, sit on a wooden stool in front of a ruined castle.

Cyprien Gaillard: Dust Lines
Texte auf Englisch
4,00 Euro

“My work starts when and where the archaeologists left off.”
Fire extinguishers being launched in romantic landscape settings, the demolition of housing estates, fighting youth gangs in St. Petersburg – these are some of the subjects examined by Cyprien Gaillard. Emerging as one of the most promising talents among a new generation of young artists, Gaillard is concerned with contemporary land- and cityscapes and the effects of architecture and time on our lives. Gaillard celebrates the complexity and the unresolved contradictions of the modern world in a hugely varied body of work, ranging from film to sculpture, from collage to large scale interventions. But underneath always lies a certain awe for the beauty of our flawed environment. His work has been exhibited among others at the MoMA and New Museum in New York, Kunsthalle Basel and the Hayward Gallery in London.
With mono.kultur, Cyprien Gaillard talked about the failure of modernism, land art as a form of vandalism and why Cancún has never been as beautiful as now.

Piero Golia – Desert Interviews

transparentbuy-button-schwarz

or, How to Jump Off the Roof and Not Hit the Ground
Texte auf Englisch
19,00 Euro

Piero Golia (*1974, Naples, Italy) founded in 2005, with his long-time friend Eric Wesley, the Mountain School of Arts, an educational structure that rapidly became a new spot on the cultural map of the city of Los Angeles.

This limited edition book, composed of discussions between artists, presents a kind of report on this unique “institution:” teaching methods, academic syllabus, and students’ selection are here explained with metaphors, compared with artistic interaction, and equaled to performances. Not unlike Golia’s work itself, the development of the school and its program follow a poetic of the gesture, of the instant, and of actions recalling Fluxus, Gino de Dominicis’ or Paul McCarthy’s works.

The Exhibitionist #2

transparentbuy-button-schwarz

Journal of exhibition making
Texte auf Englisch
10,00 Euro

The second issue of The Exhibitionist enacts something like a threshold experience, concerned as it is with the issue of art’s publics, a concern that manifests itself throughout as a tension among arguments about the efficacy of the exhibition format. On the one hand, the exhibition can be a site for “a new topography of critical curatorial methodologies, a resonant site of discursive recontextualizations,” to quote Okwui Enwezor, who writes in the section attitude on the groundbreaking exhibitions of Susan Vogel, founding director of the Museum for African Art in New York. On the other hand, when constituted within the walls of a museum or gallery, the exhibition can be seen as profoundly delimiting our experience of art. “A looming paradox facing museums,” Nato Thompson writes, “is that the discursive framing of an art museum limits the capacity of its art to be effective.” “Art in Public Space” is the topic chosen for typologies, and the three authors—Thompson along with Joshua Decter and Mary Jane Jacob—offer rigorous and at times polemical thinking on this subject, reanimating it as a site of urgency, potential, and problematics.

Cyprien Gaillard – Geographical Analogies

transparentbuy-button-schwarz

Geographical Analogies
Texte auf Englisch
60,00 Euro

This limited Edition artist’s book is based on Cyprien Gaillard’s “Geographical Analogies,” a collection of 900 Polaroids, carefully and rigorously arranged in a total of 100 showcases, telling many stories about landscapes, monuments, modernist buildings, and architectonic utopias, and just as many stories about decay, destruction, and devastation.

As Rein Wolfs puts it in the introduction of this publication “Gaillard’s epic work, outmodedly analog … reflects a computation of time that seems to have disappeared …. In the disintegrating medium of Polaroid photography the aspect of disappearance inherent to time is documented and allegedly temporarily halted—until in foreseeable time these originals too will have disappeared beyond recall … Decay, disappearance, remembrance and decline are omnipresent motifs in this work … Numerous devastated concrete landscapes, unfinished holiday developments, monuments, ruins, modernist high-rise estates, cemeteries, landscapes and—as a counterpoint—golf courses stand for an equal number of failed ambitions, or decaying cultural testimonies to their time … But the ‘Geographical Analogies’ can be conserved for perpetuity in the format of this book which, like an atlas arranging things at a different level, represents a further stage of scientific classification: a global atlas full of ruins of the Gaillard trademark. A world atlas against disappearance.”

Don’t miss the Exhibition of Cyprien Gaillard, September 4 – October 24, 2010 at MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt. Opening: Friday, September 3, 2010, 7 p.m.

Yann Gross – Horizonville

transparentbuy-button-schwarz

A photographic journey
Texte auf Englisch
30,00 Euro

As Joël Vacheron writes in this publication, “Yann Gross’ project could be compared to David Lynch’s “The Straight Story”: based on a real event, it relates the journey of a retired man driving miles on a miniature tractor to get to his dying brother’s bedside. … Far from the vast desolate territories of Iowa or Wisconsin, Lynch’s praise for slow motion inspired Yann Gross’ discovery of the Rhone Valley and its surroundings, the area at the foot of the Swiss Alps where the Rhone River originates. At the handlebars of his moped with his camera equipment on tow, Gross found the necessary autonomy to move around at the valley’s rhythm. Rather than following high-speed routes, Gross developed a specific approach inscribed by a slow pace.”
Through this patient exploration, Gross is able to approach marginal modes of existence such as the ones represented in this book, and produce a gaze that emphasizes elusive details that go unnoticed to the hasty viewer. “Horizonville” thus appears as a meticulous photographic investigation, an out-of-sync road movie that touches on the symbolic re-appropriation of a geographical site, the construction of an imaginary community as much as the re-reading of a cinematographic genre and its superseded codes.

The Fall of the Studio – Artists at Work
Take Place – Photography and Place from Multiple Perspectives
The Murmuring of the Artistic Multitude
Texte auf Englisch
je 20,00 Euro

The first in a new series with the agenda of examining specific phenomena or new lines of thought in the arts through critical writings. This premier edition brings together an original collection of essays which assess changes in the nature and identity of the artist’s studio in the context of the production of art in the post-war period. Combining art history, criticism and theory, these clear and accessibly written essays also throw light on specific cases of studio practice from the likes of Eva Hesse, Olafur Eliasson, Bruce Nauman, Martin Kippenberger and Jan de Cock. Contributors include: Wouter Davidts, Kim Paice, MaryJo Marks, Kirsten Swenson and Philip Ursprung.

The extensive use of photography in contemporary art practice raises a number of complex questions as to the concept and role of ‘place’ within these various practices. ‘Take Place’ investigates this complexity and theorises about the notion of ‘place’ in – and the place of – photography in the context of contemporary art projects. This investigation is done from the perspectives of various disciplines such as art history, the theory of photography, architecture, installation art, performance and multimedia projects. Contributing authors and artists include: Thomas Crow, Caroline van Eck, Barbara Hooper, Anja Novak, Kitty Zijlmans, Pieter Laurens Mol and Batia Suter.

In ‘The Murmuring of the Artistic Multitude’ art sociologist Pascal Gielen defends and explores the idea and limits of the hypothesis that an increasingly globalised art scene is the ideal production model for economic exploitation. The work ethics of the art world – with its ever-present, dynamic, flexible working hours, thematic approach, short term (or no) contracts, and, its unlimited, energetic freedom – has been capitalised within the cultural industry and subsequently converted into a standard production model. Knitting seamlessly into discussions around creative cities, Gielen’s thesis also searches for new alternatives within this system that will preserve the art world’s particular dynamic and freedom.
