Ab Mitte der 1940er Jahre, als Reaktion auf die erschütternden Nachrichten über den Holocaust und die anderen Gräueltaten des 2. Weltkriegs, schuf George Grosz seine letzte große Werkreihe, bestehend aus Gemälden und Aquarellen: die "Stick Men". Der Abwurf der Atombomben am Ende des Krieges und die Gefahr eines Dritten Weltkriegs potenzierten seinen Pessimismus hinsichtlich der Zukunft der Menschheit. So stellte er seine "Stockmänner" als entmenschlichte und ausgehungerte Wesen dar, die ziellos durch eine verseuchte, postapokalyptische Welt irren. Der Katalog macht überdeutlich, wie falsch das weit verbreitet Vorurteil ist, Grosz sei während seiner amerikanischen Jahre "weich" und unpolitisch geworden. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: In der Serie kulminieren die politischen und künstlerischen Überzeugungen seines lebenslangen Kampfes. Die "Stick Men sind sein künstlerisches Vermächtnis, das angesichts der aktuellen Weltlage nicht aktueller und relevanter sein könnte.Text: Juerg Judin, Pay Matthis Karstens, Alice Delage, Karli Wurzelbacher.

In den letzten 20 Jahren hat Camille Henrot eine von der Kritik gefeierte Praxis entwickelt, die sich zwischen Zeichnung, Malerei, Skulptur, Installation und Film bewegt. Mother Tongue ist die erste Publikation der Künstlerin, die sich ausschließlich auf Malerei und Zeichnung konzentriert und über 200 Werke aus den zwischen 2018 und 2022 entstandenen Serien System of Attachment, Wet Job und Soon vereint. Dieses jüngste Werk thematisiert die ambivalente Natur der Fürsorge und die Spannung zwischen dem gleichzeitigen Bedürfnis nach Bindung und Selbstbehauptung, das im Säuglingsalter beginnt und sich durch das ganze Leben zieht. Individuelle, intime Auseinandersetzungen führen dabei immer auch zu umfassenden Fragestellungen, wie den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungshaltungen an Mutterschaft und der Repräsentation des weiblichen Körpers. Der reich bebilderte Katalog wird begleitet von Texten von Emily Labarge, Legacy Russell, Marcus Steinweg, Hélene Cixous, Seamus Kealy und einem Gespräch zwischen Camille Henrot und der Kuratorin Julika Bosch. CAMILLE HENROT (*1978, Paris) gilt als eine der einflussreichsten Stimmen der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Referenzen aus Literatur, Psychoanalyse, Kulturanthropologie und der Banalität des Alltags aufgreifend, hinterfragt sie, was es bedeutet, sowohl privates Individuum als auch globales Subjekt zu sein. Henrots Arbeiten werden weltweit in Einzelausstellungen gezeigt, zuletzt im Munch Museum, Oslo; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Kunsthalle Wien und New Museum, New York. Sie lebt und arbeitet zwischen Berlin und New York.

This publication is devoted to an extensive description of the pneumopteria which are also referred to as cloud whales or cloud sponges, and occasionally, in scientific language, as pneumospongia. Often, in older treatises, they have been termed celestial leviathans. These gigantic, cloud-like creatures, which seemed to float in the air without movement or stimulation, could reach several hundred meters in size. In all likelihood, they are extinct today. The species was, however, frequently observed in historical times and has been described by numerous cultures and in many different contexts.With his research findings, Roland Boden provides the first thorough introduction to the nature, appearance, and behavior of the pneumopteria and surveys the history of their exploration and description. In his treatise, defined as fictional research, Boden uses quotations, photographs, reproductions, reconstructive drawings, and computer-generated images, combining real scientific and historical facts with completely fictitious elements to create a parallel reality that cleverly and artistically questions contemporary perceptual processes.

Im New York der Fünfzigerjahre, bevor er zu einem der bekanntesten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde, war Andy Warhol ein geschätzter und erfolgreicher Gebrauchsgrafiker . In dieser Zeit schuf er, um Kunden zu gewinnen, Kontakte zu pflegen und Freundschaften aufzubauen, sieben handgefertigte Bücher mit eigenen Zeichnungen und skurrilen Texten, die unter anderem sein Faible für Katzen, Essen, Schuhe, hübsche Jungs und hinreißende Mädchen verrieten. Die in Kleinstauflage erstellten Bücher sind heute unerschwingliche Sammlerstücke. TASCHENs Reprint von sieben dieser Bücher im XL-Format gleicht Warhols Originalen im Detail. Mit Titeln wie Love Is a Pink Cake, 25 Cats Named Sam und À la recherche du shoe perdu offenbaren die Bände Warhols vollendete Zeichenkunst , seine grenzenlose Kreativität und seinen mit zahlreichen Anspielungen gespickten Humor. Dieser Band ist ein reizvolles Spiel mit Stilen und Gattungen ; so widmet A Is for Alphabet jedem Buchstaben des Alphabets eine eigene Seite, während die Illustrationen von holprigen Dreizeilern über merkwürdige Begegnungen zwischen Mensch und Tier begleitet werden. In the Bottom of My Garden ist Warhols Version eines Kinderbuchs und zugleich ein Bekenntnis zur homoerotischen Liebe. Bei Wild Raspberries hingegen parodiert er mit einem Füllhorn abenteuerlicher Rezepte ein Kochbuch. Dieses farbenfrohe Portfolio wird durch Essays ergänzt, in denen Warhols Illustrationen erläutert werden. Mit selten gesehenen Fotografien des Künstlers und Bildern seiner kommerziellen Auftragsarbeiten ordnen sie Warhols Kunst aus den fünfziger Jahren in einen größeren Zusammenhang ein und bietet Einblicke in seine frühe schöpferische Vorgehensweise. Diese wenig bekannten, aber sehr begehrten Frühwerke Warhols wirken heute noch ebenso anregend und originell wie in den seligen Zeiten der 1950er. Mit einem einführenden Essay der Warhol-Expertin Nina Schleif sowie zeitgenössischen Bildern und Fotos von Warhol zeigt dieser sorgfältige Nachdruck Warhol in dem Moment, in dem aus dem Gebrauchsgrafiker ein Künstler wird. © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

In an age of fast-changing technologies, offering numerous ways of generating images, Elias Wessel challenges the conventional definition of a painting: he creates his "paintings" without resorting to traditional painting techniques and eschews classical genres. The artist's abstract paintings - which in many ways show connections to painterly practices - are in fact made up of photographs and digital material.Wessel, for example, takes photos of smartphone displays to produce monumental abstract compositions from the fingerprints left behind on them. He also documents his scrolling behavior on social media platforms by using long-time exposure to superimpose accessed profiles and their contents: the result are visual and decontextualized structures. His other works present painterly-looking details of damaged displays: where else in the digital world can we experience such a close relationship with the canvas?Above all, the quality of Elias Wessel's working method lies in the way he links the fundamental discourses in the history of photography with the latest technology and current social debates. In so doing, he skillfully observes and questions the social consequences and instruments of digitalization.

I do believe a lot of what I draw comes from within. The images of Indian Princesses and their horses have always been a part of my life. From a small child, I understand those feeling all so well. I lived with the love of many horses in my lifetime. They are still here in my heart and soul. So it comes very easily to me in an image. The love between a girl and her horse. I hope that comes across in what the one looking at the Image, sees and feels. Animals, Birds, Symbols, they all just seem to me to belong together. I hope the Love I have for the Native American Indian, comes out in my art. Enjoy.

The publication revolves around the polarized nature of the resident-host encounter. The space of residency generated between artist and host leads to the establishment of a temporary community whose "episodic" nature corresponds to the nature of the "postmodern" world. From the perspective of the host, the presence of the artists resembles an episodic plot, where each part - despite the uniqueness of the artistic interventions - is to some extent an open form, in fact, it can be built anew each time. Like film characters, artists assume their roles in subsequent episodes. Creating such a space in a social structure requires trust, openness and a strong sense of empathy, as well as a willingness to share one's resources. From the outset, the editors did not aim to present an analysis of the operation of individual spheres of artist residencies, but rather to compile in dialogue a polyphonic publication that illustrates the nuances of residency work and artists' experiences, as well as the unstable constellations of artist residencies with its open-ended structure. Artist residency programs can serve as a model for dealing with the ever-changing contemporary world and societies. All this makes it possible to fulfill the dream of a world where there is a balance between acceptance and separateness. This world offers authenticity, permanent change and constant transformation.

Drawing a Blank ist die erste Monographie von Christine Sun Kim, die anlässlich ihrer Ausstellung Cues on Point in der Secession erscheint. Für das Buch entstand eine künstlerische Intervention, die auf Kims eigenen Zeichnungen von Notenlinien basiert, die in ihren Infografiken häufig vorkommen. In den hier bewusst leer gelassenen Linien sieht die Künstlerin eine Hommage an Gebärdendolmetscher*innen, mit denen sie zusammenarbeitet, und Menschen, die in ihrem Namen gesprochen haben. "Diese Linien stellen die Parameter ihrer Stimmen dar und wie sie im Gegenzug meine Stimme und meine Arbeit beeinflussen." Wie zur Verstärkung dieser Stimmenüberlagerungen lud Kim Kolleg*innen aus bildender Kunst, Tanz, Musik, Literatur und Aktivismus ein, auf ihre Notationslinien zu reagieren und eigene zu entwerfen. Die 55 im Buch versammelten Beiträge zeigen die unglaubliche Diversität künstlerischer Vorstellungen - und Dank der Perforation können sie auch verwendet werden.Interview with Christine Sun Kim: Matthew Hyland.

Vor dreißig Jahren publizierte der Wiener Künstler und Architekt Heinz Frank unter dem Titel "Kinderbuch für Architekten" eine Auswahl seiner Zeichnungen aus den 1970er-Jahren, in denen tierische und geisterhafte Wesen durch Häuser und Gebautes spuken. Franks hierin versammelte Arbeiten auf Papier rütteln einmal mehr an den rationalistischen Grundfesten der Architektur. Mit Humor und Fantasie rekurriert der Künstler auf das anarchische Potenzial des Tierischen sowie der Kinderzeichnung. "Kinderbücher wie dieses", schreibt die US-amerikanische Architekturtheoretikerin Felicity D. Scott in ihrem Buchbeitrag, "regen uns dazu an, die Welt zu überdenken, vielleicht sogar, sie anders zu sehen." Acht beigelegte Ausmalblätter laden ein, sich auf "Franks tierische Form der Verweigerung von Architektur einzulassen".Text: Felix Scot

Inspiration is everywhere, in all instances of city life. In this visual diary of Barcelona, a real treat for sketchers and lovers of the Catalan capital, urban sketcher Lapin creates a graphic narrative of his metropolitan surroundings to communicate a highly expressive and deeply personal vision of the city. Using vintage accounting books that he finds in flea markets, Lapin, armed with nothing more than a sketchbook, a fine liner pen, watercolor paints and his folding stool, depicts the images and phenomena of everyday city life - busy streets, bustling cafes, iconic monuments, graffiti-splashed walls, sidewalks thick with people. A sketching technique that pays meticulous attention to detail, his particular use of color and striking und humorous perspective distortions define Lapin's journalistic-like visual style. Telling evocative stories through his drawings, he also provides a fresh look at some of the urban transformations the city is currently undergoing, including green hubs and squares, parks and gardens. The artist defines himself as a "mobile illustrator", a kind of modern-day itinerant urban explorer and documentarian who immerses himself in his environment (in this case, Barcelona) and records what he sees. The result is a graphic reportage of the city's culture, from its emblematic architecture down to the ornamental concrete slabs used to pave many of its sidewalks and nearly everything else in between.

Lucina is a graduate of the Bratislava School of Architecture, and over the years has worked in a variety of disciplines, teaching drawing, life drawing and the history of the Renaissance at design schools and universities. A selection of over two hundred sketches of cities, towns and countryside from around the world by Lubica Lucina.
