Panel #4, Elisabeth Greinecker and Julian Turner (Eds.).

PANEL is an artist magazine from Vienna. Each issue forms around the idea of finding a common theme, a red line, a form of serendipity, without revolving around a “topic”. See it as a group exhibition on paper.

Each issue presents around 13 works, in an edition of 100 copies, printed in colour in A5. New releases are published 2 to 3 times a year.

This issue features work from Michael Brunner, Sophia Hatwagner, Nathalie Koger, Birgit Lesch, Emanuel Mauthe, Noele Ody, Mario Strk and Amelie Zadeh.

“Warum tötete Theseus den Minotaurus?” – “Weshalb fand er den Ausgang des Labyrinths nur mit Hilfe des Ariadnefadens?” – “Erleichtert ein Mehr an Wissen die Orientierung? Oder wird es schwieriger, wenn wir verstanden haben, wie leicht es ist, sich zu verlaufen?” – “Wie kommt es, dass das Labyrinth uns im Handumdrehen zu Mitspielern macht? Warum kommen wir nicht los von diesem Gewirr aus Linien und Gängen?” – “Ist der Weg ins Zentrums des verwickelten Gängereichs leichter zu finden als der Weg zurück in die Freiheit?”

The Bakery: IDEA IN ACTION, Christine Peters, Richard Siegal, Dieta Sixt (Ed.), Spector Books

American dancer and choreographer Richard Siegal created an artistic network called THE BAKERY in 2005 devoted to interdisciplinary research and production. Along with performing artists, Siegal works with architects, composers, new media experts, designers, curators, and theoreticians. Together they explore new directions in performance related to technology and the other arts. The exploration of these relationships has resulted in interactive installations, such as IF / THEN INSTALLED or LOGIC GATE, which have been shown in various museums and exhibition halls, as well as dance performances and site-specific projects, as the most recent works ©OPIRATES and CIVIC MIMIC exemplify.

THE BAKERY also promotes the If / Then Methodology, Siegal’s choreographic framework, a game-based, syntactical and notational system, as described in the dvd publication IF / THEN DIALOGUES. Since its founding, THE BAKERY has continued to widen its network on an international scale. A cross-disciplinary initiative, it invites others to partake in an ongoing discourse. This book presents contributions by internationally acknowledged artists, writers, and curators who look at performance-making from the points of view of their specific fields.

Contributors: Tim Etchells, Didier Faustino, Barbara Formis, Heiner Goebbels, RoseLee Goldberg, Hubert Machnik, Chantal Pontbriand, Chris Salter, Susan Sgorbati

Yona Friedman. MANUELS volumes 1 + 2 + 3. Cneai =.

The full set of the trilogy entitled Manuals, which contain Yona Friedman’s “cartoon strips”. They were published from 1975-1992 in more than thirty countries and twenty languages, often in the form of photocopies. The first volume describes the region, the city and nature. The second volume treats the subjects on nutrition, protection, habitation, and the mountains. From the “wordology” of Liebniz to African folk tales, the third volume disseminates Friedman’s research on the questions of language, interpretation and improvisation.

“The forms produced by Yona Friedman, published forms, cheap and basic techniques, practical content, suggest that the time has come to no longer think of art in terms of marginality, the only way to put art back in motion is to give it back the central place which it has in many cultures, to transform art and so contribute to its formation.” – Sylvie Boulanger

Horizonte #5 – Journal for Architecture: Fetish

“Horizonte No.5 Fetisch combines key concepts, related terms and connotations of contemporary notions of fetishism. Blatant yet invisible, the elusive nature of fetish provoked our investigation. In this issue, we have tried to trace it as it appears in different phenomena, not only in reference to architecture but also in related domains. In all of its manifestations, the fetish appears to be in a persistent and enduring component of cre-ation, action and thought.
As evidenced by the overt heterogeneity among our above deliberations as well as the definitions which we have been confronted with while compiling this issue, we feel it is necessary to admit the difficulty of defining fetish in itself, as separate from some other discourse. Indeed, that which propelled our interest continues to evade us. Nevertheless, the fetish prevails, simultaneously prolific and devastating; it is a substitute for ideology.”

Authors of the fifth edition are Beatriz Colomina, Felix Burrichter, Eric de Broche des Comes, Mathias Mitteregger, Andreas Kalpakci, Holger Wilkens, Stefanie Muller, Diogo Pereira & Eric Stephany, Stefan Gregory, Christian Rothe & Markus Postrach, Bernhard Siegert and Ana-Maria Simionovici.
