This book was published to accompany Duegyoung Lee’s solo exhibition, ‘Teheran’, at the Gallery D+, Korea Design Foundation, Seoul, 2009. The photographer Duegyoung Lee has been methodically documenting urban spaces, and for this exhibition he took a series of aerial photographs of Teheran Street in Seoul, and combined them to a very long, single photograph. In this catalogue, the image is divided to six parts, each printed over two pages with the introductory essay and other information printed on the back. The book is left unbound, so the reader can rearrange the sheets to reconstruct the entire photographs.

Complete Künstlerhaus Programme:

Process Wall, Part 1
 
March 26, 2010 –
 
“Process Wall” is the title of a program for ephemeral formats that will take place on the second floor of Künstlerhaus throughout the year 2010. Instead of clearly delineated solo exhibitions, the program will show multiple projects and presentations that overlap in space and time. Exhibitions, magazine presentations and interventions are planned as well as lectures, notes, announcements or particular historical references. The “Process Wall” seeks a collective authorship of continuous development from activities occurring on the second floor. The first contributions in March 2010 will be a presentation of the new issue of Facehug from Takuji Kogo (*CANDY FACTORY PROJECTS) as well as “Autogestion, or Henri Lefebvre in New Belgrade” by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber.
 
Facehug #3: Takuji Kogo (*CANDY FACTORY PROJECTS)
 
Facehug #3 presents Takuji Kogo, artist and founder of *CANDY FACTORY PROJECTS. Takuji Kogo will present the audio piece “Music from *CANDY FACTORY” with accompanying lyrics based on fragments of found text extracted from propaganda posters, junk mail, online forums, personal ads and horoscope forecasts, performed by synthetic voices. The installation at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart will also include Takuji Kogo’s ongoing photographic sculpture “Non_sites.” Facehug is an independent publishing project run by Ana-Maria Hadji-Culea that explores the way in which artists approach text in their individual practices, unfolding annually as a one-on-one collaboration that uses various media, formats and distribution channels to reinterpret the perspectives of printed matter.
 
Sabine Bitter/Helmut Weber: Autogestion, or Henri Lefebvre in New Belgrade
 
In 1986, French urban theorist Henri Lefebvre, with architects Serge Renaudie and Pierre Guilbaud, participated in an international competition for the New Belgrade Urban Structure Improvement, sponsored by the state of Yugoslavia. In his urban vision for New Belgrade – the capital of former Yugoslavia founded in 1948 – Lefebvre emphasizes the processes and potentials of self-organization of the people of any urban territory to counter the failed concepts of urban planning from above. Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber took the unpublished text of Lefebvre as a starting point for a series of artworks and a comprehensive publication. At Künstlerhaus, Bitter and Weber will present a series of prints that can be used as alternative covers to the book.
 
On Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7pm, Helmut Weber will discuss with Klaus Ronneberger, followed by a screening of Bitter/Weber’s film “NEW, Novi Beograd 1948 – 1986 – 2006”.

It’s a Book, It’s a Stage, It’s a Public Place
Treffen unabhängiger Verlage und Publikationsprojekte

Sie stehen in den Regalen bei “Printed Matter” in New York ebenso wie bei “Motto” und “pro qm” in Berlin. Man sieht sie bei “The Book” in Seoul und gleichermaßen bei “Jura Books” in Sydney: Bücher mit einer winzigen Auflage sind rund um den Globus präsent. Gegenwärtig entsteht ein Netz von kleinen Verlagen, die relativ autark und in zunehmendem Maße auch international publizieren. Die “kreative Klasse” — frei arbeitende Autoren, Grafik-Designer und Künstler — hat das Buch als Bühne kollektiver Wissensproduktionen für sich entdeckt. Neue Stilistiken des Büchermachens zeichnen sich ab; neue Formen wie Text, Bild und Design ineinander greifen. — Das eintägige Treffen “It’s a Book, It’s a Stage, It’s a Public Place”, das der Leipziger Verlag Spector Books zusammen mit dem Centraltheater organisiert, versteht sich als ein Knotenpunkt in diesem internationalen Netz.

They’re in the shelves of “Printed Matter” in New York as well as at “Motto” and “pro qm” in Berlin. You’ll find them at “The Book” in Seoul and likewise at “Jura Books” in Sydney: Books with a tiny edition have presence around the globe. Currently, a network of small publishers is in the process of formation, publishing fairly autonomously and increasingly on an international scale. The “creative class” — independent authors, graphic designers and artists — has discovered the book as its stage of collective knowledge production. New book making stylistics are becoming visible; new forms to interrelate text, image and design. — The one-day meeting “It’s a Book, It’s a Stage, It’s a Public Place”, organised by the Leipzig publishing house Spector Books in collaboration with the Centraltheater, understands itself as a nodal point in this international network.
