Summary:
The artist (born in 1961 in Madrid, resident in Chicago) has been creating multiform works that deal with social and political borderline situations for over a decade. His work demonstrates how certain powers and systems, whether natural or created by human beings, affect the world we live in. This is a comprehensive documentation of the exhibition The Krefeld suite: installations in the two Mies Villas in Krefeld. Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle , multimedia artist and Mies van der Rohe specialist, has created a cinematographic installation especially for the Krefeld Mies Villa, where he shows the relationship between their architecture and the “architecture” of icebergs. The installations are built around the theme of time in the dynamic relationship between prehistoric, historic and contemporary time.

Recapitulative publication about Le Magasin, Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Grenoble.

Summary:
Romare Bearden (1911-1988) had a true Renaissance sensibility. He was a fine artist who also successfully turned his hand to printmaking, writing, costume and set design, as well as composing jazz music. In addition, he helped to found the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York's Cinque Gallery and the Black Academy of Arts and Letters, and was once even offered an opportunity to play professional baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics. But it is for his rich and textured collages that Bearden is best known today. In 1977, Bearden created a sequence of 20 collages based on episodes from Homer's Odyssey. It may come as a surprise to even his most avid followers that this devoted chronicler of African American culture and the Harlem Renaissance would gravitate to such a canonical text. But in the essay accompanying Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, scholar Robert G. O'Meally argues for their thematic consistency and suggests that, in the figures of Odysseus, Penelope, Poseidon, Nausicca and others, Bearden found themes sympathetic to the African American experience. These motifs of wandering, mourning and the questing for home--considering Bearden's scores of interiors and exteriors, country and city life and depictions of family love--emerge as the central themes of all his art. Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, the first in-depth consideration of these collages since they were originally exhibited 30 years ago, will prove a surprise to Bearden fans and newcomers alike.

Summary:
The British artist Spartacus Chetwynd (*1973, lives and works in London) is known for her baroque and surreal performances which, with great humor, bring together multiple image quotations from art history and pop culture. In the tradition of the grotesque she draws on elements from Giotto frescoes, characters from works by Hieronymus Bosch, or Yves Kleins "Anthropometries" (1960) together with heavy metal musicians, Michael Jacksons music video "Thriller," or the 1980s television series "The Hulk," and creates a unified whole. As well as performances, Chetwynd, who graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in painting, produced a series small canvases under the title "Bat Opera" (2004/2005), which also present quotations from pop culture, but in addition feature more romantic borrowings.

Summary:
"Sometimes it is a relief to be told what to do," the authors of this wonderful, strange photo book explain. "We are two artists who are trying to come up with new ideas every day. But our most joyful and even profound experiences often come when we are following other people's instructions. When we are making crepes from a recipe, attempting to do a handstand in yoga class, or singing someone else's song." With this in mind, Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July started a website in 2002 called Learning to Love You More. In it they provided assignments: Take a picture of your parents kissing; reread your favorite book from fifth grade; write your life story in less than a day; take a flash photo under your bed; and many others. The responses came thick and fast (more than 5,000 and still coming) from all over the world. The authors' favorites are here reproduced, and they are wildly beautiful, imaginative, complex, funny, sad and simple.
