Walther und Franz Koenig 2024 ISBN 9783753305691 Acqn 34762

Pb 20x26cm 424pp col ills £39
Night Fever: Film and Photography After Dark is the first significant publication to focus on
photographic and cinematic works from the 1960s to the present that use night as the starting
point for their explorations. A lavishly illustrated compendium, Night Fever is committed to those
lens-based practices that have found in the night the opportunity to rejoice and rebel, but also to
seek rest, refuge and perhaps some revelation. Collectively, these films and photo portfolios, as
well as the newly commissioned essays and texts from an international and cross-generational
group of scholars, critics and curators, stress that there is no single night. For a person, place or
group, nights threshold, its liminal edge, is ever-changing, dependent not only on the actual
conditions of light and dark, but also on the tenor of the socio-political environment. The films and
photographs in Night Fever assert that for each person, place or group the night happens
differently, and can be suffused with a range of emotional and physical experiences joy, ecstasy,
pain, fear, anxiety, mystery, tedium, inertia, exhaustion, and peace. Edited by Shanay Jhavari,
Head of Visual Arts at the Barbican, London. Jhaveri was previously Associate Curator of
International Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Co-published with The
Shoestring Publisher, Sweden.

Touch Nature
Hb 24x30cm 128pp col ills £29
This publication showcases international artists and their takes on the devastating consequences
of the Anthropocene. A practice that can take the form of documentation and resistance, but also
offer utopias and hopeful visions.
The economic exploitation of huge tracts of land, rising levels of soil sealing and the global effects
of consumerism are addressed by artists today, alongside the capitalist manipulation of waste. A
series of cooperative ventures, some of which are interdisciplinary in character, results in art
projects that deal with the global food situation, the spread of epidemics and the consequences of
colonialism, aiming at a change of perspective - projects that develop encouraging visions of a
new relationship between humanity and nature and of an approach to our environment marked by
mindfulness and respect.

Peche Pop - Tracing Dagobert Peche in the 21st Century.
Dagobert Peche, one of the most eccentric designers of Viennese Modernism, virtually blew apart
the stylistic idiom of the famous Wiener Werkstatte: with opulent decorations inspired by nature
and a revolutionary aesthetic, he lent practical objects a hitherto unknown complexity. Peche
worked with a wide range of materials-silver, glass, ceramic, leather, and paper-designing
jewelry, furniture, and exhibition displays, as well as sensational fabric patterns. In little over a
decade he created an oeuvre that has fascinated and inspired the worlds of art and design ever
since. Divided into seven chapters-from "Arcadia" to "Uncanny"-this publication is dedicated to
the artist's unique cosmos and traces his impact from Art Deco to Postmodernism to the present
day.

Liliane Lijn - Arise Alive
Lijn has been working at the interface of visual art, literature, and science for more than six
decades and has created an extensive oeuvre that includes sculptures, installations, collages,
paintings, videos, and performances. Lijn's multimedia practice has its origins in the kinetic art of
the late 1950s as well as in her exploration of Surrealist ideas, ancient mythology, and eastern
philosophy. Even her earliest works reveal an interest in unconventional artistic materials-an
interest that continues to this day. In 1961, Lijn made first works from Perspex, in which she
experiments with reflection, movement, and light.

Making Friends with the Octopus - ruangrupa since 2000
One of the first critical studies of the work of the artist collective ruangrupa (ruru) that examines
two decades of their artistic and curatorial practice.
Internationally known for their involvement in documenta 15 in Kassel, ruangrupa's histories as

an artist collective back home were rarely critically studied. Making Friends with the Octopus
offers a discursive account of the two decades of ruru's practice which evolved in response to
local Jakarta conditions and the diverse networks and economies operating in the city. The
group's practice inherited elements of youth culture and popular aesthetics, celebration,
publishing, research and archiving, offered hints to the collaborative and funding networks in the
region and the souths, and encompassed their lived experiences in Jakarta.

Birgit Dieker - hide & hold
This monograph offers an overview of the sculptor's last ten years of work. Birgit Dieker has
dedicated an entire artistic universe to the epidermis of her sculptures as an analogy to skin, to
the countless variations of clothing as a concealing layer.
The title "hide & hold" combines the artist's central theme of human identity with the complexity of
inner experience. The bibliophile design of the book underlines the sensual quality of the artworks
it contains.

Liza Lacroix - One. Two. Three. [...] Twenty-Six.
A new artist's book by Liza Lacroix gathering 23 recent paintings, all reproduced here for the first
time.
Printed on diaphanous paper, Lacroix's umber tones seem both on and below the surface. Each
painting is dissected with multiple, aggressive crops, a thrum of repetition that becomes a kind of
vivisection: the half- forensic and half-obsessional gaze that we reserve for the devotional and the
departed.
