Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s Studio Work collects formal portraits, snapshots, still-lifes and documentation of the studio space, created during his residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem from 2010–2011. The artist writes: “I am exploring how the studio environment, as the site of creation, editing, and accumulation affects and frames portraiture, and the performance of portraiture.”

Jonas Mekas has worked together with Andy Warhol, George Maciunas, John Lennon, and many others. In New York he was an influential figure in the New American Cinema, although he came to film-making relatively late. In 1944 Mekas and his younger brother Adolfas had to flee from the Nazis for copying leaflets. They were interned for eight months in a labour camp in Elmshorn. The Soviet occupation prevented him from returning to his native Lithuania after the war and, classed as a “displaced person”, he lived in DP camps in Wiesbaden and Kassel. Towards the end of 1949 he and his brother emigrated to New York. In his autobiography I Had Nowhere to Go he describes his survival in the camps and his arrival in New York. Mekas tells a universal story, that of an émigré who can never go back, whose loneliness in his new world is emblematic of human existence.

Muita Animação showcases a selection of Portuguese party posters that are very prominent in the local landscape because of their bold design as well as their unique production method: Printed on plastic and mounted on streetposts and trees, they mostly survive the date they announce and therefore can even be seen on Google Streetview. Zurich Artist Noël Fischer started to collect these posters a few years back and has now — together with design studio Hammer — published them in this whimsical A3-sized book. This collection might as well be Jan Tschichold’s worst nightmare.

Isotype (= international system of typographic picture education) wurde ab den 1920er-Jahren vom Wiener Soziologen und Philosophen Otto Neurath als Methode zur Visualisierung von Daten und Zusammenhängen entwickelt. Das aufklärerische Ziel war es, komplexe Sachverhalte mittels gegenständlicher Bilder und Symbole in eine intelligente und komprimierte Form zu transformieren, die sowohl klar verständlich und interessant als auch genau war. Dieser mit vielen anschaulichen Beispielen versehene Band widmet sich den Prinzipien von Isotype, der Tätigkeit des „Transformierens“ – so der zeitgenössische Terminus – und Marie Neurath, der wichtigsten Mitarbeiterin und Wegbegleiterin Otto Neuraths. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein bislang in deutscher Sprache noch nie veröffentlichter Essay aus dem Jahr 1986, den Marie Neurath kurz vor ihrem Tod verfasst hat. Der Leser erhält authentische Einblicke in die Entstehungs- und Gestaltungsprozesse von Isotype-Schaubildern und die Arbeitsweisen von Otto Neurath und seinem Team sowie die Fortführung der Arbeit nach dessen Tod. In weiteren Beiträgen schreibt der britische Typograf und Verleger Robin Kinross über Marie Neurath, sowohl als Person als auch bedeutende Protagonistin der Designgeschichte, und reflektiert über Vermächtnis und Zukunft von Isotype in der visuellen Kommunikation.

Nowadays music produces social relationships that no longer require any proprietorship. But it still cannot operate independently of the system without itself being part of a powerful logic of commercialism. This inextricable conflict is the bassline for a mix that is presented by Andrzej Steinbach and Achim Szepanski in Ultrablack of Music: Feindliche Übernahme (Hostile Takeover). Steinbach montages three different texts: a TV talk show as chamber play, a roll call of all the Red Army Faction members in the form of a score, and the computer code of a chopped-up McKinsey advertisement. In 1971 WDR broadcast “Open Ended: Pop and Co — The Other Music between Protest and Commerce!” during which Nikel Pallat, a member of the band Ton Steine Scherben, produced an axe from under his jacket and repeatedly smashed it down on the table with all his might. The table didn’t break but the gesture was unambiguous.

Auf einer Reise nach Japan wurde er mit der japanischen Zeichenwelt vertraut und bemerkte, daß diese Zeichen seiner Vorstellung vom Zeichen am nächsten kamen. Das japanische Zeichen ist stark: Es ist in bewundernswerter Weise Regeln unterworfen, angeordnet, dargestellt, niemals naturalisiert oder rationalisiert. Das japanische Zeichen ist leer: Sein Signifikat flieht, es gibt keinen Gott, keine Wahrheit, keine Moral, die diesen Signifikanten zugrunde liegt, die ohne ihr Gegenstück herrschen. Und vor allem sind die höhere Qualität dieses Zeichens, die Anmut seiner Behauptung und der erotische Charme, mit dem es auftritt, überall eingeprägt, auf den belanglosesten Gegenständen und Verhaltensweisen, die wir normalerweise in das Gebiet des Unbedeutenden oder Banalen verweisen.

»Das Vorhaben von Die Sprache der Mode entstand unmittelbar im Anschluß an das Nachwort der Mythen des Alltags, in dem ich die Möglichkeit einer immanenten Analyse anderer Zeichensysteme als der Sprache entdeckt habe – oder zu entdecken geglaubt hatte. Ich hatte von diesem Augenblick an den Wunsch, eines dieser Systeme, eine von allen gesprochene und zugleich allen unbekannte Sprache, Schritt für Schritt zu rekonstruieren. So habe ich die Kleidung gewählt.« Roland Barthes

Addressing ideas of ethnicity and identity, Port Yarin serves as a visual documentation of a fictional town, a home to the wandering souls of the racially ambiguous, third culture kids of the world. In and around the collated cityscapes and landscapes are the subjects, swathed in the glow of dusk and neon lights, haunted by a sense of foreboding; in many ways reflecting the feeling of unrest faced by minority groups in the political world today. Port Yarin is about embracing the melting pot of influences that form our construct of ethnicity, forging a new future identity.

In the last ten years, the Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde has been responsible for over fifty publications: these include not only slim photozines and simply produced brochures but also voluminous cloth-bound books — many of them distributed via his own publishing house 4478ZINE. This Is Not My Book provides for the first time an overview of his work, which constitutes one of the most important artistic positions at the interface between photography and independent publishing. The book uses large-format representations to show the lines of connection between the individual publications. It also contains van der Weijde’s 4478ZINE publishing manifesto and other texts as well as five conversations with the publishers Anne König and Jan Wenzel. This Is Not My Book indicates a full stop, an act of punctuation set down by the author with his published work.

Edition Bauhaus 46 When Dessau was bombed in early 1945, the Director’s House and Moholy-Nagy’s Master House were reduced to rubble as well. After the Dessau Masters’ Houses – epitome of the 20th-century artists’ colony – had been restored to their original state in the 1990s, a debate began on the reconstruction of the two houses destroyed in the war. In 2010, after consultation with the British star architect David Chipperfield, the decision was made to recreate the Master Houses of Gropius and Moholy-Nagy using contemporary means, rather than rebuilding them 1:1. And so they have now been reconstructed on the basis of designs by the Berlin firm Bruno-Fioretti-Marquez, as innovative reductions and abstractions of the original houses. This volume describes the chequered history of the Dessau Masters’ Houses, presenting the reconstructed buildings for the first time in book form, with photographs by Armin Linke and Heidi Specker.

At the beginning of the 1970s US American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill developed the first ideas for colonizing space. Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cybercommunard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies. In this and in other editions of the CoEvolution Quarterly, the issue of whether space might already be colonized in the year 2000 is discussed. Fabian Reimann’s Space Colonies. A Galactic Freeman’s Journal refers to these publications. In his photo essay he assembles historical, present-day, and speculative material, which he combines with fictional and factual stories to create a composite of different images of the world.

Fernsehtürme – 8.559 Meter Politik und Architektur” zeigt nicht nur die architektonische und konstruktive Rekordjagd des Größer, Höher und Weiter, die mit Fernsehtürmen ausgetragen wird, sondern erläutert die Türme aus ihrem gesellschaftlichen und politischen Kontext. Denn kein Gebäudetyp zeigt seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ein so großes Verlangen nach gesellschaftlicher, wirtschaftlicher oder politischer Symbolik. Aber wie genau äußern sich diese Wünsche, Zukunftsvorstellungen und Machtbekundungen in der Architektur? Wie wird deren Auslegung durch politische Propaganda oder alltagskulturelle Aneignung transformiert? Und wie politisch kann Architektur sein? 25 Fernsehtürme im Buch: Stuttgarter Fernsehturm, Stuttgart Al-Borg, Cairo Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Ostankino Tower, Mosckow Avala Tower, Belgrade Torre de Televisao, Brasilia Berliner Fernsehturm, Berlin Jested Tower, Liberec Telkom Jo’Burg, Johannesburg Canadian National Tower, Toronto Televizijos Bokstas, Vilnius Tashkent TV Tower, Tashkent Riga Radio and TV Tower, Riga Zizkov TV Tower, Prague TV Tower Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg Torre de Collserola, Barcelona Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Stratosphere Tower, Las Vegas International Saddam Tower, Baghdad Sky Tower, Auckland Borj-e Milad, Tehran Menara Jakarta, Jakarta Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower, Guangzhou Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo
