Book Description
This revised and updated edition presents the future and origins of his painting according to André Butzer. From his early works of "science-fiction expressionism" to his exploration of abstraction's far limits in seemingly black paintings, Butzer emerges as an ever-inventive colorist who finds a new beginning in each work.

Book Description
With more than twice as much pages, even rarer sources and an urging immediacy, the second volume of André Butzer's collected writings, thus surely, is double the fun. Due 20+ conversations, let alone over 200 poems, the book offers personal access right into the middle of André Butzer's unique artistic thinking, illuminating both his practice as well as his biography. Once more, editor Alexander Linn has upped the ante with this seminal collection, suitable for enthusiasts and experts alike.

Book Description
"For more than 20 years, Andr� Butzer (b. 1973), has been one of the most outstanding and internationally influential painters in Germany.Starting with an expressive figuration between cartoon and high culture in his early work, bit by bit he annihilated all superficial motival representation. Since 2010, he converges onto an absolute and non-objective, albeit existential understanding of painting.For the first time, this book gives a coherent survey of Andr� Butzer's oeuvre and shows the insistent consequence from its beginning in 1994 until today's so-called N-Paintings by which he questions the elementary relation between painting and our existence."

Book Description
Alexander Kosolapov is one of the most remarkable go-betweeners of contemporary art, a nomadic presence across ideologies and cultures and a hero of Russian Conceptualism alongside Ilya Kabakov, Boris Mikhailov and Dmitri Prigov. In 1973, he cofounded the Sots-Art movement, which satirically conflated Soviet and American capitalist iconographies; in 1975 he relocated to New York, remaining there for 30 years and immersing himself in the American art scene. Dovetailing Russian political art with American Pop, Kosolapov created such well-known images as the Lenin Coca Cola (1985), Malevich Marlborough and Lenin McDonald's. In his most recent works, Kosolapov proposes new, nonexistent brands for post-Soviet Russia. This substantial survey appraises the entirety of his career to date.

Book Description
Interdisciplinary artist Olaf Breuning depicts the world we live in with a keen sense of irony. Born in Switzerland and now based in New York, Olaf Breuning works in a variety of media including photography, video, installation, drawing, and painting. Testing the limits of humor and contemporary aesthetics, Breuning's photo-collages, sculptures, paintings, and comics are simultaneously funny and provocative, absurd and eerie, tragic and fragile. His work provides ironic commentary on the clichés and trappings of our time. The NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, an international cultural center focusing on contemporary photography and visual art, is presenting an Olaf Breuning retrospective in the summer of 2016. This publication accompanies the exhibition. Documenting a cross section of Breuning's extensive work, it provides a compelling overview of his oeuvre.

Book Description
Through the centuries, women have used textiles to express their ideas and political opinions, creating items of utility that also function as works of art. Beginning with medieval European embroideries and tapestries such as the Bayeux Tapestry, this book examines the ways in which women around the world have recorded the impact of war on their lives using traditional fabric art forms of knitting, sewing, quilting, embroidery, weaving, basketry and rug making. Works from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, the Middle and Near East, and Oceania are analyzed in terms of content and utility, and cultural and economic implications for the women who created them are discussed. Traditional women's work served to document the upheaval in their lives and supplemented their family income. By creating textiles that responded to the chaos of war, women developed new textile traditions, modified old traditions and created a vehicle to express their feelings.

Book Description
This book discusses Michael Sailstorfer's most recent work, with a special focus on issues of space and site specificity. Pieces such as Study for Breathing House (a detonation which causes a house to shrink and expand, almost imperceptibly), Endless column (a light beaming into the sky through an open ceiling) or Andy Warhol (perfume dispenser) involve light, smell, energy, and noise as suitable material for the artist's sculptural interventions. Characterized by a wild sense of absurdism, subversive poetry and melancholic humor, Sailstorfer's oeuvre can be read against the backdrop of the conceptualization of space. Along the lines of philosopher Franz Xaver Baier's texts, his work involves the experience of invisible, moving, and existential space, where time and distance become relevant categories for a continuing expansion of spatial knowledge. This comprehensive book contains an essay by art critic Jennifer Allen, a text of fiction by the author Ingo Niermann, a text by Schorsch Kamerun, singer, author, and director, extracts from Franz Xaver Baier's book Der Raum and an interview by curator Neville Wakefield. Michael Sailstorfer has forthcoming solo exhibitions at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main, and at P.S.1, New York. Contributors Jennifer Allen, Franz Xaver Baier, Schorsch Kamerun, Ingo Niermann, Neville Wakefield
