Fellow Travelers. Christian Holstad. Edition Nord.

Fellow Travelers is a limited edition boxed set of 38 exquisitely reproduced found photographs chosen by Christian Holstad. The images span a number of decades and center around figures in costume, depicting children, adults, and even the occasional animal in guises that range from the simplistic to the bizarre. The size and format of each of the images is tailored to match the original photographs, and a number of pictures are framed by shabby photographic mats, scalloped edges, and Polaroid borders. The box cover features one of the reproduced photographs held in place by clear photo corners.

032c Magazine #22

032c is a contemporary culture magazine that fiercely believes in the intelligence of its readers, and rises to the challenge of surprising them. Published twice a year, it is both timely and timeless—a celebration of and for the most cutting-edge in art, culture, and fashion.

Finding the new in the old and the old in the new, it is considered the “Berlin magazine that propagates an aesthetic of brutal elegance” by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, or simply as the “revue ultra-pointue” by Vogue Paris.

A love letter to Roni Horn, 13# kilimanjaro

Issue 13 of Kilimanjaro is an unofficial catalogue of sorts, whose theme is A Love Letter To Roni Horn; it is the first edition of the magazine which has been created with a single artist, and is a kind of visual & textual retrospective.
Using the traditional format of a magazine publication, comprised of interviews, essays and art criticism, we have curated an overview both of the DNA of Horn’s work, and – through the words of our selection of her friends, collaborators and admirers – of Roni Horn herself. The issue features: JUERGEN TELLER, ADRIAN SEARLE, JOHN WATERS.

Casco Issues XII launch @ Motto Zürich/Corner College. 18.11.11
Start 7pm

Opening the evening with the film ‘Glory of the Garden’ (HD-Video, 14 min, 2009) by Marion von Osten, a slow-tempo satire of change in the art institutional structure over the last decades, this evening will focus on the bio-political aspect of an institutional operation. It will reference Katerina Seda’s practice, as well as the sociological approach in Mary Kelly, Margaret Harrison and Kay Hunt’s ‘Women and Work’ as both put emphasis on the “daily regimes” of villagers and workers. Deductively, we can draw from the daily regimes of different “institutions”, ranging from highly established ones to self-organised spaces, and groups, especially in light of Bob Black’s article ‘The Abolition of Work’ and the recent article ‘Bodies in Alliance and the Politics of the Street’ by Judith Butler whereby she criticizes Hannah Arendt’s narrow concept of what action can be. The question then of course would be: what changes do we want and what can we do to the established daily regimes?

After the film screening we will launch the new issue of Casco Issues with the editors Binna Choi and Axel Wieder. Casco Issues is a magazine published by Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory, which explores recurring issues that emerge from Casco’s programme. It centres on artists’ and designers’ writings and other unconventional forms of publishing. The twelfth edition of Casco Issues, ’Generous Structures’, focuses on “playfulness” as a value in critical cultural practice. As a playful inquiry, it positions alternative notions of playing against the grain of neoliberal ideologies of “lifelong learning” and “work as play”.

Kim Ramberghaug: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

Within the black covers of “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” one hundred and ten images unfold, pictures taken over the last couple of years by Norwegian photographer, Kim Ramberghaug.

Animated landscapes, desolate interiors and unaffected portraits are interwoven into a mysterious multitude of narratives. The cinematic quality of the photographs spurs the imagination. You find yourself posing questions about the surrounding circumstances, the before and after.

To whom is the girl in the glittery top talking to over the phone? What is the man crouching behind the hood of the car photographing? Where is that magically illuminated tree located?

Be it integrated by colour schemes, subject matter or associative common denominators, the spreads in the book are lucidly organized. Ramberghaug’s keen eye and visual fingerspitzengefühl is evident and ever present throughout “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.”
