About the book:

FURNITURE

“This publication appears on the occasion of Claudia Wieser’s exhibition FURNITURE in KIOSK (6 October – 18 November 2012). The title refers directly at issues that lie at the very heart of Wieser’s work: what is the status of sculptures that were designed as objects? The artist’s body of work is built around this question and explores the boundaries between autonomous and applied art. FURNITURE brought together an ensemble of drawings, ceramic and wooden sculptures, and a spatial collage, instigating a dialogue between them and explicitly relating them to the architectural context of the exhibition space.” – Liene Aerts & Wim Waelput

Edited by Wim Waelput and Claudia Wieser
Authors include Liene Aerts, Alexander Garcia Düttmann, Zoë Gray, Wim Waelput

Un Trou célèbre
Vie et mort de Bill Ronson

Mêlant les vies du traumatisé cérébral Phineas Gage et du sociopate excentrique John Samuelson, Jérémie Gindre compose une novella épique pleine d’espoirs déçus, de colères injustifiées et de lubies maniaques, au beau milieu du désert de Mojave.
Résultat d’une résidence aux Centre Interfacultaire en Sciences Affectives et Centre Interfacultaire en Neurosciences de Genève, ce livre est le dixième ouvrage d’une bibliographie remarquablement hétéroclite.

French – 60 pages. 9 illustrations.
edition 400

Über Peter Friedl. Dirk Snauwaert (Ed.). WIELS / Motto Books.

Vielgestaltig, heterogen und schwer zu fassen erscheint das künstlerische Werk von Peter Friedl (geb. 1960), einem der wichtigsten Künstler seiner Generation. Als konzeptuelle Akte und ästhetische Modelle sind seine Arbeiten beschrieben worden, die sich aus dem Fundus unterschiedlicher Formen, Genres und Denkfiguren bedienen. Wie kaum ein anderer Gegenwartskünstler lädt er dazu ein, den darin verborgenen und wirksamen Bezügen aus der Ideen- und Kulturgeschichte sowie ihren globalen Gegengeschichten, offenen Enden und Anschlüssen nachzuspüren. Die zehn hier erstmals auf Deutsch versammelten Essays sind zwischen 2001 und 2012 entstanden, vier davon eigens für diesen Reader. In ihren interdisziplinären Deutungen verorten die Autorinnen und Autoren Friedls Arbeit in der Kunst- und Mediengeschichte, in Literaturwissenschaft, politischer Theorie, Philosophie und kuratorischer Praxis.

Mit Essays von:
Mieke Bal, Roger M. Buergel, Jean-François Chevrier, Norman M. Klein, Bartomeu Mari, Maria Muhle, Eva Schmidt, Marco Scotini, Dirk Snauwaert, Hilde Van Gelder, Leire Vergara
