Paul Kooiker’s new book SUNDAY consists of a great diversity of images of one female model. Bright colours, porcelain skin, shiny shoes: turning the pages means moving a lightening sculpture in a natural way, almost in harmony but at unexpected moments bizarre and surrealistic.

Kriwet – Yester ‘n’ Today

Ferdinand Kriwet is regarded as a pioneer of media art. Ahead of his time, he already dealt in the 1960s with our way of seeing that has been influenced by the sensory overload of the mass media in exhibitions, stage appearances and radio plays, analysing the process the language of television, advertising and photography. Kriwet, whose work is rooted in concrete poetry, describes himself as a visual poet. Aside from his neon signs and wall paintings, the versatile Düsseldorf-born artist also worked in subsequent years on numerous art projects in conjunction with architecture. He furthermore produced a large number of texts for radio. Visitors to DuMont in Cologne encounter his works everywhere: he made the glass door motifs throughout the publishing company’s building.

Ferdinand Kriwet (born1942) already wrote “ROTAR,” his first book to be published by DuMont Buchverlag, at the age of 19. His oeuvre encompasses paintings, music, texts and mixed media works. He lives in Dresden.

The series of images Bruno Serralongue produces, explains critic Pascal Beausse, “are the result of protocols which lead him to confront the concrete conditions under which information is produced and disseminated. Breaking with the supposed self-sufficiency of art, he travels regularly to places where news is happening.” Working alongside photojournalists or on commissions, he uses these professional procedures to produce his work while at the same time readily abandoning some of the prerogatives and decisions that are usually attached to artistic activity. “His pronounced refusal,” says Beausse, “of his own signature effects, places him in a clear documentary lineage. His critical approach to the status of news images is that of a line of thinking deriving from Conceptual art and the interventionist strategies of the early 1990s.”

This publication offers an overview on Serralongue’s work, organized in series and by typologies. It is accompanied by a discussion between the artist and curators Marta Gili and Dirk Snauwaert, as well as with a new essay by Carles Guerra.

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus- Mary Shelley

“He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would quench for ever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon as the cradle of life. He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes; behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.”
