"The book aims at a new exposition of the basic idea of modern aesthetics by way of a reconstruction of its genesis in the 18th century, between Baumgarten's Aesthetics and Kant's Critique of Judgment. The claim is that the historical invention of aesthetics was not about expanding the range of legitimate objects of philosophical inquiry-these objects all existed before aesthetics. Rather, aesthetics, by introducing the category of the " ..."

"Using Dubai as a sort of modernist blank slate for urban and social renewal, author Ingo Niermann -- a relentlessly creative artist whose tongue is firmly jammed into his cheek -- confronts today's most relevant cultural and technological developments with elixirs that are as pertinent as they are unbelievable. In the fifth book in the Solution series, Niermann sees Dubai, a sparsely populated piece of desert, become specialized as hous ..."

"After the end of the Second World War, the Federal Republic of Germany wanted to avoid a national "special path" at all costs. Even those who, since reunification, have called for a new patriotism merely mean to accomplish Germany's perfect normalization as a Western democracy. What they call for is not a profession of specifically German values but an abstract love for the country in which people happen to have been born and grown up. ..."
"In the series of works collectively titled Sone que revelabas (I Dreamed that You Appeared), Juan Usle (b. Santander, 1954; lives and works in Saro, Spain, and New York) has created one of the most exciting painterly oeuvres of our time. As he works on them in the silence of his studio, Usle listens to the pulsing rhythm of the blood in his body. Each heartbeat corresponds to one stroke of the brush, whose placement is to some degree a ..."

"Bastian Bo rsig (b. Schwa bisch Hall, 1984; lives and works in Karlsruhe) toys with the beholder s associations. Archaic, emotional, and playful, his pictures limn situations in a few adroit strokes; immersing ourselves in his narratives of agitation, it dawns on us that everything is not what it first seemed. This book, the artist s first monograph, presents works of the past four years. With an essay by Marc Wellmann and a preface by ..."
"Exploring African influences on modernist avant-gardes, Saâdane Afif (born 1970) riffs on André Breton's anthology of the same name for this catalogue accompanying his show at MMK Zollamt. For the show, Afif built a coffin based on a Ghanian "memento mori," and invited artists and critics to respond."
"Photographs (and the Wallpaper years). Dtsch.-Engl.Gebundenes BuchDie Arbeiten des deutschen Fotografen Joachim Baldauf (geb. 1965 im Allgäu, lebt in Berlin, arbeitet international) bestechen durch ihre Klarheit und eine gewisse Ironie. Sie sind mehr als nur Fotografien, mehr als nur Modeaufnahmen, mehr als nur Jugendkultur und mehr als nur Lifestyle. Die Bilder stellen den Menschen - aufgrund Baldaufs sehr persönlicher Herangehensweise ..."
"Not only Mao before the masses, but also dozens of housewives armed with brooms, scores of Gillette razors and hundreds of Mon Cheri chocolates. In a play on perceptions in which nothing (or everything) is what it seems, in the midst of a profusion of food tins, cleaning products, cars, reinforced concrete buildings and motorways that populate the works of Thomas Bayrle (Berlin, 1937). Acclaimed as one of the voices of Pop Art in German ..."
