With her first comprehensive monograph Infinite Walk, Katharina Lehmann (b. 1984) invites the reader on an individual artistic journey through her impressive oeuvre. The process of creating her works involve the artist walking back and forth using her unique thread-drip painting technique to create a fabric made up of hundreds of thousands of kilometres of yarn and acrylic paint which Lehmann then uses in a multitude of ways to create spatial installations, objects and pictures. Like a journey, the book also has several stages. In a total of eight chapters, the publication illuminates the artist's most significant creative phases to date. Beginning with 2014, which Katharina Lehmann described as her personal 'ground zero', the presentation extends to the present day and provides an outlook to new horizons.

When the group Rrose Irwin Sélavy was founded in Yugoslavia in 1983, its members DuSan Mandic (1954, Ljubljana), Miran Mohar (1958, Novo Mesto), Andrej Savski (1961, Ljubljana), Roman Uranjek (1961, Trbovlje, +2022, Ljubljana) and Borut Vogelnik (*1959, Kranj) were aged between 22 and 29. They all came from the punk and graffiti scene of Ljubljana. Together with the music group Laibach, the theater of the sisters Scipio Nasicas, and the designers from Neuer Kollektivismus (New Collectivism), IRWIN is still one of the main groups of the artists' collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (New Slovenian Art), founded in 1984.This volume is published to mark the 40th anniversary of the artists' collective and to accompany the exhibition at HMKV Dortmund. Since 1983, IRWIN has been investigating the art history of Eastern Europe, especially the ambivalent legacy of the historical avant-garde and its totalitarian successors, i.e. the dialectic of avant-garde and totalitarianism. Since the 1990s, the focus of the group has been on challenging the art history of "Western Modernism" in a critical and iconoclastic way. The artists playfully and darkly contrast it with the "retro avant-garde" and an "Eastern Modernism".The book, which can be read from both sides, is made up of two parts: the first chapter explores the black humor that is a consistent element in IRWIN's work. The second chapter examines issues relating to the state - and how IRWIN uses them to comment on current topics such as migration.

The history of captivity in the early modern Mediterranean has been studied exclusively through European and Ottoman/Turkish sources. But from Aghadir to Alexandretta, the language of piety, travel, religious disputation, and chronicle was Arabic (sometimes written as Garshuni). An extensive archive has survived in Arabic describing the experiences of Muslims, Eastern Christians, and Jews in European captivity. After all, from the middle of the seventeenth century on, British and French fleets, with their advanced naval capabilities, seized large numbers of captives from the 'other shore' (to cite Braudel) - captives who have been ignored in scholarship but survive in numerous sculptures from Spain and Germany to Malta and Hungary. This study continues the research into the Arabic archive by introducing further accounts about captivity by European pirates and privateers, showing how the Mediterranean became the scene of Christian masters and Arabic-speaking slaves. Not surprising, by the nineteenth century, a Moroccan traveler prayed that the Mediterranean become a barrier/hajiz against European depredations.

Castro Marim, in SE Portugal, was a site of internal exile for several thousand minor sinners and convicts from the 1400s until the 1830s. The punishment was revived by the Estado Novo dictatorship a century later. During early modern times, the guilty could flee to several border towns for sanctuary. The state's courts and later courts of the Inquisition directed minor offenders to this town, typically for two to three years. These newcomers were forced to either enter the local work force or flee. Here we see a detailed example of social control and coordination between the early modern Church and state. Crime, sin, punishment, redemption, sanctuary, the Enlightenment, monopolies, and smuggling interact with this system of forced labor. Sanctuary, internal exile, and town of free people created a unique legal and social space. This labor force was long-lasting, flexible, and useful. Tax evasion and smuggling forced Lisbon to create neighboring Vila Real de Santo António, with tighter fiscal control and free labor which would eventually supersede this forced labor system in Castro Marim. Internal exile was a semi-independent judicial component linked to manpower needs overseas, ending as those demands increased.

From trailblazing political activist Angela Y. Davis, a major new collection of essays and interviews that argue for a radical rethinking of our prison systemsAn icon of revolutionary politics, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for prison abolition for over fifty years. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis's essays, conversations, and interviews over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation. Davis traces a genealogy of the penal system, from slavery to the prison industrial complex, offering a trenchant analysis of the relationship between the prison system and capitalism, both in the US and on a global scale. Combining decades of analytical brilliance and lessons from organising both inside and beyond prison walls, Davis addresses the history of abolitionist practice, details the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and offers the radical tools we need for revolutionary change. Powerful and rewarding, filled with insight and provocation, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, is essential reading for anyone seeking to imagine a world without prisons. 'A woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard' New York Times'She has eyes in the back of our head. With her we can survive and resist' John Berger'Behold the heart and mind of Angela Davis: open, relentless, and on time! She is as radiant, she is as true, as that invincible sunrise' June Jordan

A little-known story of mutiny and murder illustrating the centrality of smuggling and slavery in early American societyOn the night of June 1, 1743, terror struck the schooner Rising Sun. After completing a routine smuggling voyage where the crew sold enslaved Africans in exchange for chocolate, sugar, and coffee in the Dutch colony of Suriname, the ship traveled eastward along the South American coast. Believing there was an opportunity to steal the lucrative cargo and make a new life for themselves, three sailors snuck below deck, murdered four people, and seized control of the vessel.Mutiny on the Rising Sun recounts the origins, events, and eventual fate of the Rising Sun¿s final smuggling voyage in vivid detail. Starting from that horrible night in June 1743, it narrates a deeply human history of smuggling, providing an incredible story of those caught in the webs spun by illicit commerce. The case generated a rich documentary record that illuminates an international chocolate smuggling ring, the lives of the crew and mutineers, and the harrowing experience of the enslaved people trafficked by the Rising Sun. Smuggling stood at the center of the lives of everyone involved with the business of the schooner. Larger forces, such as imperial trade restrictions, created the conditions for smuggling, but individual actors, often driven by raw ambition and with little regard for the consequences of their actions, designed, refined, and perpetuated this illicit commerce. At once startling and captivating, Mutiny on the Rising Sun shows how illegal trade created demand for exotic products like chocolate, and how slavery and smuggling were integral to the development of American capitalism.

Ugo Rondinone's 2022 exhibition the water is a poem unwritten by the air / no. the earth is a poem unwritten by the fire at the Petit Palais in Paris explores the theme of transformation. Ugo Rondinone presents three ensembles of sculptures and a monumental video installation. Earth, sky, air, water and fire are invoked in the fullness of their spiritual dimension. Under the museum's painted ceilings, the first ensemble welcomes visitors in a farandole of suspended bodies painted in a clouded sky camouflage, underlining the ephemeral melding of air and water. A second ensemble is composed of seated sculptures of dancers at rest made from a blend of wax and earth collected from seven continents. The centerpiece artwork titled burn to shine, is a film installation presented in a monumental charred wood cylinder. The artwork depicts bodies coming together throughout movement, with dancers and musicians gathered around a fire in the desert from sunset to sunrise. In echo with John Giorno's poem titled You Got To Burn To Shine. This catalogue is a unique document of the dialogue between Rondinone's works confronted with the museum's architecture and its collections.UGO RONDINONE (*1964, Brunnen, Switzerland) is recognized as one of the major voices of his generation, an artist who composes searing meditations on nature and the human condition while establishing an organic formal vocabulary in sculpture, painting, video, and performance. The New York-based artist borrows from ancient and modern cultural sources; his works exude pathos and humor, going straight to the heart of the most pressing issues of our time.

This book brings together the elements needed to discover the origins of the Connemara pony as well as the reasons for its decline and revival.Originally from Ireland, the Connemara pony is the result of both its environment and Irish culture.

Opening with historical reminders, this book retraces the evolution of Irish breeding and gives indications on the use of horses and their size in order to better understand the variety of uses. This book also looks at the French stallions and presents the different bloodlines used by breeders to produce ponies for leisure and high-level sport.The result of meticulous research encompassing the genetics of the stallions and the organisation and current development of Connemara pony breeding in France, this richly illustrated book paints a portrait that is both comprehensive and accurate of what is the world's first sport pony.

Seat, Gaits, and Reactions: Before talking about riding and dressage, Captain de Sévy studies the gaits of the horse, emphasizing the role of the pendulum-neck. He establishes the link between the horse's movement and the rider's attitude and the corresponding reactions based on his keen observations and analysis of photographic views.In the section devoted to the rider, the author approaches the concept of flexibility by proposing exercises, which we can use today, helping to achieve the independence of the parts of the body and leading to the acquisition of a correct seat, the essential prerequisite for the proper use of the aids.The Equitation chapter presents an analysis of the use of aids, then the use of gaits in the training of the horse and the education of the rider. The proposed dressage progression is centered around two qualities: submission and balance.Evolution of the Position of the Rider Through the Ages: Beginning with Greece and Rome, de Sévy analyzes the different postures that characterize the major developments in the history of horse riding. He continues from the ancient precepts up to the regulations and guidelines which are still the basis of our teaching today. A short study on the seat prolongs this essential work which allows us to understand the modern methods of taming a horse for riding.

Christiane Löhr schafft einen einzigartigen skulpturalen und installativen Kosmos mit Materialien aus der Natur. Organische Elemente wie Flugsamen, Pflanzenstängel, Kletten, Baumblüten, Pferde- und Hundehaar nutzt sie als Konstruktionsmaterial für ihr organisch-abstraktes Formenrepertoire. Auf überraschende Weise transformiert sie die vergänglichen Materialien in präzise konstruierte, zarte Skulpturen, mal filigran, mal raumgreifend. Passend zu der groß angelegten Überblicksausstellung lässt sich der Katalog als eine Art Anthologie verstehen: Neben aktuellen Texten von Julia Wallner, Jutta Mattern, Astrid von Asten und Tiziano Scarpa vereint er Essays diverser Autor*innen zum Werk der Künstlerin aus den vergangenen Jahrzehnten. Ergänzt wird er durch In-Situ-Fotos der Skulpturen im lichtdurchfluteten Bau des Arp Museums Bahnhof Rolandseck von Richard Meier.CHRISTIANE LÖHR (*1965, Wiesbaden), die in Köln und in Prato in der Toskana arbeitet, ist eine der wichtigsten Stimmen im aktuellen Diskurs um neue, zeitbezogene Ansätze in der Skulptur.
