This is How it Happened is an artist's book dedicated to a body of comic watercolor works made by the artist Amelie von Wulffen. She paints a bucolic world inhabited by fruits, vegetables, sausages, tools and paintbrushes, recalling the traditional genre of children's books.

Book Description
Her most recent comic seemingly depicts Amelie von Wulffen's own life. It stands in for a parody of the contemporary, female, mid-career artist.

Art in the Periphery of the Center
Author: Christoph Behnke
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783956790775
Category : Art, Modern
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book is the result of four years of collaborative work that focused on topics of affect, the return of history, ecology, and art and its markets in today's power law-based economies. These themes triggered not only the development of new artworks but also gave rise to reflexive discourses and discussions surrounding art theory, philosophy, sociology, and economics. The book contains a visual documentation of a number of group shows - which also included the works of winners of the Daniel Frese Prize - at Agathenburg Castle, Halle für Kunst Lüneburg, Kunstraum of Leuphana University of Lüneburg, and Kunstverein Springhornhof. The contributions by critics, curators, theoreticians, and scientists include essays and in-depth conversations.

Book Description
German artist Amelie von Wulffen accomplished her breakthrough into the international art scene with presentations at the 50th Venice Biennale and Manifesta 5. Von Wulffen explores collective memory through her vast works on paper--collages, drawings and photographic overlays--which are the products of her experiments in biographical investigation and reconstruction. In some of her works Von Wulffen spans an imaginary web of coordinates between her grandmother, Solchenizin and John Travolta, connecting them by traumatic spaces such as ruins and her own objects of memory. Consistently emphasizing the historical dimensions of her autobiographical experience, von Wulffen appropriates avant-garde techniques in her poetic blending of divergent realities. From the artist's early series to her most recent works, Amelie von Wulffen is a thorough examination of an astoundingly complex and extensive oeuvre.

Sandfuture
Author: Justin Beal
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262367181
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
An account of the life and work of the architect Minoru Yamasaki that leads the author to consider how (and for whom) architectural history is written. Sandfuture is a book about the life of the architect Minoru Yamasaki (1912–1986), who remains on the margins of history despite the enormous influence of his work on American architecture and society. That Yamasaki’s most famous projects—the Pruitt-Igoe apartments in St. Louis and the original World Trade Center in New York—were both destroyed on national television, thirty years apart, makes his relative obscurity all the more remarkable. Sandfuture is also a book about an artist interrogating art and architecture’s role in culture as New York changes drastically after a decade bracketed by terrorism and natural disaster. From the central thread of Yamasaki’s life, Sandfuture spirals outward to include reflections on a wide range of subjects, from the figure of the architect in literature and film and transformations in the contemporary art market to the perils of sick buildings and the broader social and political implications of how, and for whom, cities are built. The result is at once sophisticated in its understanding of material culture and novelistic in its telling of a good story.
