THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW (by Owen Hatherley): This wonderful book documents the architectural results of another Soviet anniversary – the celebrations of the centenary of Lenin’s birth in Ulyanovsk, formerly Simbirsk, the small city on the Volga where he was born. Told by the authorities in Moscow that the ‘door would be open’ for them to modernise their mainly wooden, one-storey, Tsarist city for the duration of the celebrations, and that they’d close it immediately when it was over, the local Party rushed to build a Museum, a Library, a Palace of Culture, housing, an Airport and the high-rise Hotel Venets before the tap of money and resources was turned off. In its first year of opening, two Poles, 70 Britons, and more than 3,000 East Germans arrived to stay in the Hotel Venets, and we get to read the inventory of difficult questions they answered (‘can we see how people live in those little wooden houses?’), and find out how hotel staff took it out on the guests.

To mark the occasion of Alexander Kluge’s eighty-fifth birthday, the Museum Folkwang is organizing a comprehensive show of the work of the film-maker, writer, philosopher, and artist. The exhibition is an introduction to Kluge’s artistic “pluriverse” and sets out to illustrate his main methods, themes, and conceptual approaches, with the central focus on his filmic collages. The accompanying book picks up on the themes addressed in the exhibition and concentrates on the principle of work collaboration, which is of key importance for Kluge: the process of “thinking together” with academics and artists, such as Thomas Demand, Georg Baselitz, and Ben Lerner. Both the book and the exhibition are being produced in close collaboration with Alexander Kluge. “Alexander Kluge: Pluriverse” is at the Museum Folkwang Essen from 15 September 2017 to 7 January 2018 and at the 21er Haus in Vienna from February to April 2018. With texts by Leslie A. Adelson, Christoph Streckhardt, Richard Langston, Ben Lerner, Alexander Kluge, Anna Fricke, a.o. 24.00 €

Im Jahr 2015 erschien von Andrzej Steinbach der Fotoband Figur I, Figur II, in dem zwei Frauen porträtiert wurden. In seinem neuen Buch erweitert er den Personenkreis, um sich fotografisch mit der Frage auseinanderzusetzen: Warum sollte man binären Ordnungsschemata misstrauen und sich Figurationen des Dritten zuwenden? Als fotografischer Ausgangspunkt dient Steinbach das klassische Format des Gruppenbildes bzw. des Familienporträts. Alle beteiligten Figuren schauen in Richtung Kamera und blicken zum Betrachter hin. Aber im Bildmittelpunkt ist immer nur eine Person zu sehen, die anderen sind angeschnitten. In der Serie wechseln die Modelle ihre Positionen und auch die Kleidung, so dass ein Verwirrspiel entsteht und die Dreierkonstellation immer wieder aus der Ordnung gerät. Der Titel Gesellschaft beginnt mit drei lehnt sich an den gleichnamigen Essay von Ulrich Bröckling an und ist Steinbachs gelungene fotografische Umsetzung dieses Gedankens.

In the mid-1960s, there was widespread dissatisfaction in German architecture faculties: in the eyes of students and teaching assistants, the training of so-called artist-architects no longer seemed in keeping with the times. In protest, they independently organized their own interdisciplinary seminars and examinations. They committed themselves to the scientification of the architectural plan. During the period of student unrest, they debated the social uses of architecture and planning and tested participative models in practical contexts. Students printed flyers, campaigned in various political groups, and set up magazines. On the basis of interviews with contemporary observers of the scene, archival research, and contributions from authors, the book presents a detailed overview of these now almost “forgotten schools”. The editors were inspired not only by reviewing the historical events but also by the relevance they have for current debates on the professional profile of planners and architects and their sociopolitical responsibilities.
