Building on his interest in evolution, philosophy and society, in his project A Gift From Him Maximilian Prüfer (*1986) explores the destruction of natural habitats to make way for agriculture in China. To this end, Prüfer took two trips to the Szechuan Province, where the fruit trees need to be pollinated by hand due to insect deaths caused by the increased use of pesticides. These developments are attributable to Mao's campaign to "Destroy the Four Olds", which entailed the killing of around two billion sparrows in order to restore the natural equilibrium. Prüfer documented the entire manual pollination process in photos, collected items and films which make for an ambivalent exploration of the cultural evolution of humankind.

Inwelt von Maximilian Prüfer (*1986) ist die Fortsetzung der 2016 herausgegebenen Publikation Brut und umfasst die seitdem entstandenen Werkserien des Künstlers. Prüfer arbeitet an verschiedenen selbstentwickelten Verfahren, welche die Spuren von Insekten und Naturphänomenen sichtbar machen. Hierbei analysiert der Künstler das Verhalten von Tieren, um es anschließend mit menschlichem Verhalten zu vergleichen. In seiner 2020 begonnenen Werkserie Forming Thoughts etwa, untersucht er die Wege und Straßen von Ameisen. Er versucht hierbei, einen direkten Bezug zu neurologischen Strukturen herzustellen und Rückschlüsse über das Verhalten kollektiver Lebewesen sowie das Naturverständnis des Menschen zu ziehen.

Published in conjunction with the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Monet's 1872 painting, Impression, Sunrise, this unique and illuminating catalog reaches throughout history to explore how artists have incorporated the sun as a reference point and as inspiration in their art. For as long as humans have been making art, they have turned to the sun as the source of light, warmth and life itself. It appears as a symbol of limitless power, as the personification of gods and of Christ, and as a harbinger of change. Artists have also used the sun as a means of exploring light and color and as an entrée into discussions about climate. The first of its kind, this book investigates visual representations of the sun from antiquity to the present day. It is divided into seven roughly chronological sections that look at both epoch-spanning and period specific examples, including symbolic, allegorical representations, the iconography of mythological subjects, and mimetic qualities such as typology, phenomenology, and emotional effect. It includes more than two hundred stunning reproductions of well- and lesser-known works of art. Incisive and enlightening texts explore how solar symbolism figured in pre-Christian objects; through 17th-century depictions of the "Sun King" Louis XIV; how artists such as Rubens and Monet employed the sun in their narrative paintings; how the Impressionists first investigated the sun's effects on a landscape; how Neo-Impressionists such as Seurat experimented with color, based on the Newtonian analysis of the solar spectrum; and how 20th-century artists incorporated a broad array of abstract, surrealistic, and transformative modes of solar representation into a variety of media.

One minute and thirty seconds is the average length allotted to a news feature. For more than ten years, artist Monika Huber has been photographing images from daily news reports that bear witness to protest, riots, war and violence, as well as their consequences. She saves the images digitally, prints them out and reworks them by means of painting and drawing. Over the years, an archive has been created; it reveals a "grammar" of news images and invites us to examine the crisis reporting of television news in a critical way. This selection of over 100 images from the archive is accompanied by contributions positioning Archive OneThirty from art-historical, philosophical, political-scientific and journalistic perspectives. Artistic exposure of media images and their rhetoric With contributions by Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, James W. Davis, Antje Kapust, Ute Schaeffer, Ulrich Wilmes, and an introduction by Bernhart Schwenk

A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves This major co-publication with the Museum of Graffiti chronicles the worldwide graffiti movement from its birth in the 1970s, through the street and train painting of the 1980s, to its emergence as an artistic genre admired in museums and sold at auction. With hundreds of never-before-seen photographs of graffiti art from the 1970s to today, many of which have been provided exclusively for this volume by the artists themselves, the book gives an insider's view through multiple interviews with celebrated graffiti artists, including Roger Smith of Sane Smith, Hotboy Hert, DESA, Shirt King Phade, RIME, MadC, Saber, AURA, and others. Told through essays, hundreds of images, and interviews with the artists - both the underground outlaws and the writers who went mainstream - The Wide World of Graffiti will become the standard-bearer of the art form's history and life today, a unique contribution from the first and only museum dedicated to graffiti as an art form.

In ihren Arbeiten setzt sich die deutsch-senegalesische Künstlerin Jose¿phine Sagna mit der fehlenden Sichtbarkeit und der Selbstdarstellung von BIPoC-Personen (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) und insbesondere von schwarzen Frauen in einer weißen Mehrheitsgesellschaft auseinander. Inspiration sind dabei neben den eigenen, ganz persönlichen Erfahrungen der Künstlerin auch politische und mediale Ereignisse sowie die geteilten Bilder und Erzählungen anderer BIPoC-Personen in Social-Media-Kanälen. In ihren explosiven, farbgewaltigen Bildern lassen sich Emotionen wie Wut und Aggression, aber auch Freude, Mut und Hoffnung nachspüren. Das Selbstbewusstsein und das Empowerment der dargestellten Personen sind erfahrbar. Jose¿phine Sagna hinterfragt Vorurteile, ohne je belehrend zu sein. Sie sieht ihre Kunst als ein politisches Statement für einen intersektionalen Feminismus und eine verbesserte Repräsentation der Belange von BIPoC-Personen. Der Katalog erscheint begleitend zur ersten institutionellen Einzelausstellung der Künstlerin und folgt dem Anspruch des Märkischen Museums Witten, künstlerische Positionen vorzustellen, die sich mit den derzeitigen Fragestellungen unserer Gesellschaft auseinandersetzen.
