"Edited by Karola Grässlin, Kunstverein Braunschweig Texts by Diedrich Diederichsen and David Joselit "How can one make a work on canvas today without, in some way, addressing the mobility that now characterizes our most familiar sources of representational surfaces - the television or computer screen with their profusion of data, succeeding, interrupting and, through the hyperlink, opening gaps within one another? Thomas Eggerer's anti- ..."

"Between 1966 and 1969, Imi Knoebel worked on a series of black-and-white paintings with lines, now seen to mark the beginnings of his development as artist. The so-called Linienbilder, 90 panels in all, explore the various ways of structuring the picture surface in both single and composite works, taking Malevich's Black Square as a muse. Also included are documentation of related sculptures and installations."
"As the world reels from the recent financial meltdown, the always-relevant artist collective Jochen Schmith makes its comment on the situation -- and on the perennial question of how value is determined in the art world -- with the fascinating site-based project documented in this catalog. A bunch of tulips at the entry to the Salve Hospes Villa tips you off: the subject is the first great speculative bubble, Dutch merchant banks gambli ..."

"This is the first book to document two of Mike Kelley's central works, Sublevel (1998) and Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites (1991-1999), and includes deluxe large-format installation shots of these two pieces, as well as an interview and an essay by the artist."
"Video peepshows, porno theatres, garden pavilions – with subtle insight, Tom Burr (*1963) sheds light upon what is marginalized, or not immediately recognizable. His works, which make reference to Minimal art's object sculptures, redefine them in current socio-economic and “queer” aspects. By acting as an intermediary between formal stringency and socio-political content, Tom Burr's works overcome Hal Foster's criticism that Minimal art ..."

"Much of Peter Piller’s photography utilizes an archival serial format to track a single recurrent word against a varying backdrop. This artist’s book, published in Christoph Keller’s series, collects a series of photographs featuring the corporate sign “Kraft” that Pillar took from his car during job related-journeys between Hamburg and Leipzig."
"Danish installation artist Tue Greenfort is interested in ecological and economic issues: against the background of global interrelations, he examines how people deal with the protection of the environment and endangered species in view of the scarcity of raw materials."
"For his paper collages, Bjorn Braun (born 1979) carefully cuts out photographs from old illustrated books and reassembles them in fresh ways: a mountain range might grow out of the shingles of a church roof. Braun's sculptural works follow a similar logic--nothing can be destroyed unless something new is created from it."
"Berlin-based artist Armin Boehm has become known for his spooky, gothic impastopaintings enticing the viewer into an occult, almost minimal space. This impeccably printed catalog for Boehm's first museum show, long overdue highlights the paintings that result from the artist s unusual combination of glaze, drippings, metal dust and thickly applied oil; working from pictorial elements in natural colors, Boehm builds layer upon layer, the ..."
