Carol Rama is one of the most exciting artistic rediscoveries of the 20th century. Her creative period spanned more than 70 years - tirelessly testing different materials, styles, and media. Among other things, the artist created a body of graphic works and unique watercolors that will be presented at Berlin's Gutshaus Steglitz. This overview publication on the work of the self-taught artist is being published at the same time. The Italian artist received attention for her unique oeuvre only at an advanced age and posthumously. In the 1940s, Rama caused a sensation with the permissive and, at the time, progressive portrayal of her protagonists. In her late work she returned to the depictions of her youth.The Italian painter CAROL RAMA (1918-2015) was self-taught. In 1948, she participated for the first time in the Venice Biennale, and in 2003 she was awarded the Golden Lion there for her life's work. Later retrospectives of her work were shown at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the New Museum in New York.

Spatializing Justice calls for architects and urban designers to do more than design buildings and physical systems. Architects should take a position against inequality and practice accordingly. With these thirty short, manifesto-like texts-building blocks for a new kind of architecture-Spatializing Justice offers a practical handbook for confronting social and economic inequality and uneven urban growth in architectural and planning practice, urging practitioners to adopt approaches that range from redefining infrastructure to retrofitting McMansions.These building blocks call for expanded modes of practice, through which architects can imagine new spatial procedures, political and economic strategies, and modalities of sociability. Challenging existing exclusionary policies can advance a more experimental architecture, one not bound by formal parameters. Architects must think of themselves as designers not only of things but of civic processes, complicate the ideas of ownership and property, and imagine new sites of research, pedagogy, and intervention. As one of the texts advises, "the questions must be different questions if we want different answers." Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. The work has been exhibited widely in prestigious cultural venues across the world.

With the technological and digital revolution, an entire universe of machines and computers has developed alongside the human world. These machines tell the story of what it is to be human: our needs and desires, our hopes and follies, our visions for the future. Alastair Philip Wiper's photographic eye sweeps across Adidas shoe factories, colossal shipyards, or laboratories such as the Swiss research center CERN, showing us spaces of incomprehensible complexity. Observers can experience through this a kind of visuality that no longer has a consistent point of view, but a diversity that overwhelms the process of seeing. These photos not only possess a unique beauty of their own, as well as a fascinating aesthetic, but also stimulate thought and the search for one's own position in the world.The British photographer ALASTAIR PHILIP WIPER (Hamburg, 1980) became known for his work for the magazines Wired, The Guardian, Scientific American, Wallpaper, and Vice. His series about Silicon Valley (Silicon Nights) and his book The Art of Impossible about Bang & Olufsen have been greatly admired. Wiper lives in Copenhagen.EXHIBITIONSRIBA, LondonFebruary 26-24 May, 2020MADD BordeauxApril 2-July 5, 2020Museum of Printing and Graphis Communication, LyonApril 15.-September 20, 2020

Rural regions and their local architecture receive far too little attention. This book aims to change that. The variety of realized projects shows the hidden potential of these areas and how architecture can contribute to a good life in the countryside. This is illustrated by residential houses, agricultural buildings, village shops, workshops, office buildings, wineries, hotels, museums, chapels, sports facilities, and public buildings. The geographical focus is on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with the addition of exemplary projects from other European countries. Also, regions and places are shown that have accompanied their overall development in a special way-from shrinkage to growth. This attractive volume is enhanced by essays on the realization process of projects, on important building types, on infrastructure, and on what can be learned from building in the countryside. The catalogue portrays 65 projects by numerous renowned architecture offices, including Bernardo Bader Architekten, Gion A. Caminada, Peter Haimerl, Jan Rösler Architekten and Andy Senn Architekt.

This book brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by internationally renowned artist Enrique Martínez Celaya from 2005 to the present. Since his installation Schneebett at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2004, his work has changed formally, but it has remained intellectually and emotionally challenging. Born in Cuba and now living in Los Angeles, Martínez Celaya combines art with philosophy, literature, and science. Published to accompany the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, this book conveys Martínez Celaya's work as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape that the artist traverses. ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA (*1964) worked as a physicist before turning to art. Today, his works are exhibited worldwide, including at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig.

Heinz Mack hat nicht nur als einer der Begründer der Gruppe ZERO in Düsseldorf 1957 Kunstgeschichte geschrieben, sondern ist bis heute als Maler und Bildhauer aktiv.

. Art and artificial intelligence. Presentation of previous projects. Multidisciplinary research

After more than 30 years of activity by the Royal Book Lodge (RBL), renowned art historian John C. Welchman provides the first study of this project that generated a loose network of international artists. He examines the history and artistic practices of RBL's collaborations, which produced a variety of intermedial experiments around the artist's books, including photography, ceramics, writing, and publications. Against the backdrop of the diverse cultural and political geographies of those involved, narratives of migration and travels around the world - some artistically inspired - unfold in the volume. Welchman takes up central themes of RBL, such as biographical construction, fiction, and control, examining its Situationist traditions as well as its exploration of socially pressing issues, such as the study of experiences of violence and remedies.ROYAL BOOK LODGE emerged in the late 1980s from a collaboration between artists Juli Susin and Véronique Bourgoin, and to date has brought together international artists and writers including Raisa Aid, Kai Althoff, Abel Auer, Linda Bilda, André Butzer, matali crasset, Guðný Guðmundsdóttir, Beate Günther, Tobias Hauser, Andy Hope 1930, Dorota Jurczak, Bruce Kalberg, Jochen Lempert, Roberto Ohrt, Jonathan Meese, Raymond Pettibon, Jason Rhoades, Lucia Sotnikova, Gianfranco Sanguinetti, and others.JOHN C. WELCHMAN (*1958) is professor of art history at the University of California at San Diego. He is the author of numerous publications on modern and contemporary art, including Modernism Relocated (1995), Art After Appropriation (2001), and Past Realization (2016).

In a career spanning more than four decades, Berlin-born Sibylle Bergemann created an extraordinary oeuvre ranging from fashion and portrait photographs to literary reportages and atmospheric series-her focus remaining always on people. In the GDR, Bergemann worked both freelance as well as continuously for various art and culture magazines. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she co-founded the self-administered photographer's agency OSTKREUZ, and worked for leading German as well as international magazines such as GEO, Die Zeit, Stern or New York Times Magazine. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Berlinische Galerie approaches the unique visual universe of one of Germany's most famous photographers on several narrative levels. It includes more than 200 photographs from the museum's own collection as well as from the photographer's estate, and shows selected images from her early work for the first time.SIBYLLE BERGEMANN (1941-2010) started her career in photography in 1966. From 1967 onwards, she worked as a freelancer for various magazines, including the legendary fashion magazine Sibylle. In the 1990s she traveled extensively around the globe to take photos-now in color rather than black-and-white-for internationally renowned magazines.

As treasure troves of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munich-the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and life's work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuck-this unique volume integrates the artist's house as a category into the international context and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About twenty examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures, and photographs closely related to the houses, plans and models convey the correlation between art and life as well as the kind of harmony of the arts expressed in Richard Wagner's historical concept of the total work of art.

World famous for timeless classics such as The Three Robbers and Moon Man, Tomi Ungerer is considered one of the most influential graphic artists, illustrators, and children's book authors. What is less well known, however, is that much of his drawing and graphic work was inspired by satirical observations of US society and politics. This beautifully-designed catalogue presents for the first time a cross-section from nine decades of his artistic work-from childhood drawings to collages and objects. Shedding new light on his work by making it possible to comprehend political and stylistic lines and breaks, it's all about freedom offers deeper insights into the artistic dimension of the "freewheeling" artist's extensive oeuvre. Featuring hitherto unpublished works, this catalogue identifies recurring biographical and sociopolitical motifs that Ungerer experimented with across genres-always informed by his ambiguous humor and cutting wit.A polymath and a provocateur, TOMI UNGERER (1931-2019) published over 140 books. He grew up in Alsace, France, and lived and worked in New York from 1956-1971. After spending several years in Nova Scotia, Canada. he moved to a farm in Southern Ireland in 1976.

Published by the interdisciplinary design studio MODU, this reader explores the space between the interior and the exterior. How does the design of interior spaces align with an urban world and vice versa? Where can the boundaries between the interior and the urban be drawn? What role does the environment play in this? For their research and design projects, Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem look at three major cities on different continents: New York, Rome, and Tokyo. MODU leaves behind the binary idea of inside and outside and rather understands architecture as an extension of the environment. Thus, it imagines a hybrid of urban space, architecture, and interior space. The book explores the different geographic locations and presents their own design projects. MODU is a Brooklyn, New York-based design studio working in architecture, urbanism, and interior design. It is led by Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem and focuses on thinking urbanism and nature together. In 2017, they won the Rome Prize.

Fassbinder's prominence, his creative non-conformity, and artistic radicalism led to now legendary films, television series and theatrical plays. Works such as Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, The Marriage of Maria Braun, Eight Hours Don't Make a Day, Berlin Alexanderplatz and Querelle have etched themselves into our collective visual memory. He was exceedingly prolific in his short life, writing, directing or shooting some forty-five feature films and twenty-five plays. Fassbinder was an artist who succeeded in synthesizing radical subjectivity and social analysis in his works. He lived and demanded intensity. His sometimes unwieldy, critical stance that stood in contrast to often affectionate portrayals of people regardless of their respective social backgrounds was unparalleled and also of deeply respectful consistency. Often viewed controversially during his lifetime, Fassbinder's work has lost none of its relevance, intensity, and charisma to this day.RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER (1945-1982) was a director, film producer, actor, and author. He is regarded as one of the most important exponents of the New German Cinema movement. Like almost no other artist, he shaped and inspired the intellectual image of post-war Germany through his work.

Ever since electricity became ubiquitous artists have been fascinated by the manifold possibilities to create works with it. The catalogue Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art, which accompanies the opening exhibition of Kunsthalle Praha, explores how electricity has transformed artistic practice from 1920 to the present day, including cinematography, sound, kinetic and mechanical sculptures, computer-based art and immersive installations. A historical perspective emphasizes the fact that electricity, with its various usages-from artificial light to computing-has become a defining element of our societies.Kinetismus: 100 Years of Electricity in Art includes an essay by Peter Weibel, the author of the exhibition concept, four thematic chapters written by the co-curator Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás as well as descriptions and reproductions of key artworks by artists, such as Mary Ellen Bute, William Kentridge, Christina Kubish, Zdenek PeSánek, Anna Ridler, Nicolas Schöffer, Jeffrey Shaw, Takis, Steina, and Woody Vasulka.

Offsetted traces the emergence of the valuation of nature. The book by the artist duo Cooking Sections unpacks forms of dispossession that are becoming more common through the protection-not only destruction-of natural environments. Through a series of artistic and architectural interventions, Offsetted ties into current struggles for climate justice worldwide, contesting neoliberalism as a savior of its own ecological contradictions. It challenges conservation models based on "natural capital," while proposing new spatial tactics to de-financialize the environment. Besides a photographic documentary and the works by Cooking Sections, the book assembles numerous contributions by interdisciplinary artists and scientists.COOKING SECTIONS was established in London in 2013 by Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe. Their practice explores the overlapping boundaries between art, architecture, ecology and geopolitics. They are currently nominated for the 2021 Turner Prize.

The Polish photographer and filmmaker Tomasz Gudzowaty is actually known for his perfection-clear compositions, precisely chosen image frames, carefully considered down to the last detail. However, the approach to his Sumo series is completely different. For his photographic tribute to the Japanese national sport Sumo, Gudzowaty confronts his subject with the rebellious aesthetic of "are-bure-bokeh", which means rough, blurred, out of focus. This style developed in Japan in the 1960s as a countercurrent to the prevailing norm of photojournalism of the time. With the help of photography, Gudzowaty attempts to create a visual language that is able to capture documents beyond words. With the publication Sumo he presents a previously unknown side of his artistic work. TOMASZ GUDZOWATY (*1971) is a portrait and documentary photographer and filmmaker. His work has been published in many magazines and newspapers, such as National Geographic and Vogue Italia. He has received numerous awards.

Ingo Gerken's monographic catalogue literally opens a new chapter in his series of works, Bibliosculptures. Images of open exhibition publications or art magazines become the object of investigation here. Seemingly randomly opened book pages create a play of forces or connections between text, object, and image compositions. By depicting these views of books in the book, the medium itself is both the object and subject of analysis - typical of Gerken's artistic practice.INGO GERKEN (*1971) completed his studies of Fine Arts at Muthesius University in Kiel and studied Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art. He lives and works in Berlin.

American photographer Nicholas Nixon is known for his large-format black-and-white photographs, in which he creates a special connection with the viewers by sharing intimate moments in life. For his most iconic series, The Brown Sisters, he followed four sisters over 46 years. His practice, however, encompasses a much broader spectrum, such as the simple life in the southern states of the US or landscape portraits of the rough industrial areas around Detroit. Beginning with the aspect of intimacy, this monograph provides the first overview of Nixon's oeuvre. It is a journey through the artist's life and work - at once distant and at times intimate and close - and also features new photographs.   NICHOLAS NIXON (*1947) works with portrait and documentary photography. He studied art at the University of Michigan and the University of New Mexico. He had his first solo exhibition in 1976 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Female View puts the focus on women fashion photography. Although this medium has been shaped by female photographers for decades, a large number of publications or exhibitions have focused primarily on the male gaze of the female body. Numerous female fashion photographers worked for influential magazines such as Harper's Bazaar or Vogue, thus shaping the style of their time. Using exemplary positions, this book traces the transformation of the photographic image from the 1940s to the present day: from the fashion magazine to the showroom and the coffee table book to videos and digital self-staging in social media today. On display will be works by: Lillian Bassman, Sibylle Bergemann, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Madame d'Ora, GABO, Ingeborg Hoppe, Nadine Ijewere, Liv Liberg, Ute Mahler, Charlotte March, Lee Miller, Sarah Moon, Amber Pinkerton, Elizaveta Porodina, Regina Relang, Bettina Rheims, Charlotte Rohrbach, Alice Springs (June Newton), Deborah Turbeville, Ellen von Unwerth and Yva.

With the complexity of his artistic expression, Armin Mueller-Stahl is an exceptional figure in the art of the 21st century. The different artistic activities of the painter, musician, actor, and writer influence each other. Thus, the actor's particular interest in exploring and empathizing with different character traits implies a high affinity for drawing and painting the subtle nuances of human faces and the traits hidden within them. This illustrated volume presents Mueller-Stahl's most recent series Jüdische Freunde und Weggefährten. The portraits of famous personalities from the FRG, the GDR and the USA are both character studies and personal homages. They invite the viewer to take a stroll through the artist's eventful, great life.ARMIN MUELLER-STAHL (*1930) is not only a world-class German actor, but also known as a gifted painter, musician, and writer. Hatje Cantz has already published various volumes of his artistic work.
