The artist, designer, architect, stage designer, and exhibition designer Friedrich Kiesler (1890-1965) influenced European and American architecture and art scene with his avant-garde contributions; his oeuvre remains a source of inspiration to this day. The catalogue illustrates Kiesler's entire oeuvre and discusses his theory of "correalism" concerning the relationship between works of art, humans, and space, as well as his innovative exhibition design.
Contributions from contemporary artists such as Leonor Antunes, Céline Condorelli, Verena Dengler, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Apolonija Sustersic, and Rirkrit Tiravanija give an insight into Kiesler's importance today.

Big Plans! : Modern Figures, Visionairies, and Inventors : On Applied Modernism in Saxony-Anhalt 1919-1933 / edited for the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation by Claudia Perren, Torsten Blume, and Alexia Pooth. - Bielefeld : Kerber Verlag, 2016. - 224 p. : ills. ; 30 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Ninety years after the Bauhaus first opened its doors in Dessau, "Big Plans! Modern figures, visionaries, and inventors" is the first publication to prove that the Bauhaus was not the only forum for the international avant-garde, but part of a large, Modernist utopia. A futurist industrial region grew up in central Germany from 1919 to 1933; it was closely linked to visionary and idealized plans for a new image of humanity, realized in everything from architecture, education, and advertising to the notion of space exploration.

Buckminster Fuller Inc. : Architecture in the Age of the Radio / author Mark Wigley. - Zürich : Lars Müller Publishers, 2015. - 336 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes chronological index, name index and short biography.
In Buckminster Fuller Inc. the author investigates Fuller's multi-dimensional reflections on the architecture of radio and his idea that the real site of architecture is the electromagnetic spectrum. It draws on Fuller's archive to follow his radical thinking from toilets to telepathy, plastic to prosthetics, nanostructures to networks, and deep data to deep space.
The real architecture of our world is that of electromagnetic frequencies. We are constantly being reshaped by countless overlapping waves that pulse through our buildings and bodies. Buckminster Fuller Inc.: Architecture in the Age of Radio extensively explores Richard Buckminster Fuller's work and thought, shedding new light on the questions raised by our increasingly electronic world.

Against Value : In The Arts And Education / edited by Sam Ladkin, Robert McKay and Emile Bojesen ; texts by Hal Foster, Fabienne Collignon, Christian Lotz [...et al.]. - London ; New York : Rowman & Littlefield, 2016. - 434 p. ; 22cm. - (Disruptions series)
Against Value in the Arts and Education proposes that it is often the staunchest defenders of art who do it the most harm, by suppressing or mollifying its dissenting voice, by neutralizing its painful truths, and by instrumentalizing its ambivalence. This book diagnoses the counter-intuitive effects of the rhetoric of value. It posits that the auditing of values pervades the fabric of people's work-lives, their education, and increasingly their everyday experience. The book uncovers figures of resentment, disenchantment and alienation fostered by the dogma of value. It argues instead that value judgments can behave insidiously, and incorporate aesthetic, ethical or ideological values fundamentally opposed to the "value" they purportedly name and describe.

What's the Use? : Constellations of Art, History, and Knowledge : A Critical Reader / editors Nick Aikens, Thomas Lange, Jorinde Seijdel, Steven ten Thije ; contributors Georges Didi- Huberman, Charles Esche, Annie Fletcher [...et al.]. - Amsterdam : Valiz, 2016. - 504 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes biographies, and indexes.
Is art only art insofar as it refuses to be useful? Or can art practices serve a wider purpose in the world? This reader starts from the premise that art is an integral part of the social, economic, and political process. Art is best understood through its dialogue with the social sphere, rather than as a ‘thing in itself'. By mapping a diverse terrain of examples and ideas, this book explores the complex interplay between art, use, history, and knowledge. The contributing writers and artists demonstrate how in past and contemporary practice these relationships are set up and played out.

Documentary Across Disciplines / edited by Erika Balsom and Hila Peleg ; with texts by Ariella Azoulay, Sylvère Lotringer, Ben Rivers [...et al.]. - Cambridge, Mass. ; Berlin : The MIT Press : Haus der Kulturender Welt, 2016. - 328 p. : ills. ; 23 cm
Includes notes and biographies.
This book collects writings by artists, filmmakers, art historians, poets, literary critics, anthropologists, theorists, and others, to investigate one of the most vital areas of cultural practice: documentary. Contemporary art turned away from the medium and toward the world, using photography and the moving image to take up global perspectives. Documentary filmmakers, meanwhile, began to work in the gallery context. The contributors consider the hybridization of art and film, and the "documentary turn" of contemporary art. They discuss digital technology and the "crisis of faith" caused by manipulation and generation of images, and the fading of the progressive social mandate that has historically characterized documentary. They consider invisible data and visible evidence; problems of archiving; and surveillance and biometric control, forms of documentation that call for "informatic opacity" as a means of evasion.

Vincent Fecteau : you have did the right thing when you put that skylight in / editors Vincent Fecteau & Christopher Müller ; text Bruce Hainley. - Basel ; Berlin ; London ; New York : Kunsthalle Basel : Galerie Buchholz : greengrassi : Matthew Marks Gallery, 2016. - 150 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Vincent Fecteau (b. 1969) has, over the last two decades, forged a singular aesthetic that mixes homespun materials (popsicle sticks, champagne corks, string, and the like), meticulous craftwork, and a curious formal grammar. By turns wonky, erotic, extraterrestrial, or baroque—and sometimes, paradoxically, all of these at once—his sculptures are built from small, slow accumulations in which layering, texture, and the work of the hand are all visible. Rigid geometries and the heft of the modernist sculpture that his work evokes are forfeited in favor of something far more modest, wildly irrational, and psychically charged.
you have did the right thing when you put that skylight in is published in conjunction with Fecteau's 2015 Kunsthalle Basel presentation of the same name.

South as a State of Mind #7 : documenta 14 # 2 / editors Quinn Latimer, Adam Szymczyk ; contributions by Mariana Castillo Deball, Hendrik Folkerts, Mahasweta Devi [...et al.]. - Kassel : documenta und Museum Fridericianum, 2016. - 228 p. : ills. 30 cm
South as a State of Mind is a magazine that was founded by Marina Fokidis in Athens in 2012. Beginning in 2015, the magazine temporarily becomes the documenta 14 journal, publishing four special issues biannually until the opening of the exhibition in Athens and Kassel in 2017. These special issues are edited by Quinn Latimer, documenta 14's editor-in-chief of publications, and documenta 14 artistic director Adam Szymczyk. The documenta 14 South is conceived as a place of research, critique, art, and literature that parallels the years of work on the d14 exhibition overall, one that helps define and frame its concerns and aims. As such, the journal is a manifestation of documenta 14 rather than a discursive lens through which to merely presage the topics to be addressed in the eventual exhibition.

This Mortal Coil : The Human Body in History and Culture / author Faye Bound Alberti. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2016. - 290 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and subject index and index of names.
The author of this book takes the body apart to put it back anew, telling the cultural history of our key organs and systems from the inside out, from blood to guts, brains to sex organs.
For centuries, 'we' were believed to be composed of souls that were part of the body and inseparable from it. Now we exist in our heads, and our bodies have become the vessels for that uncertain and elusive thing we call our 'true selves'. The way we understand the material structure of the body has also changed radically over the centuries. Faye Bound Alberti reveals just how modern the 'modern body' really is, she shows that the understanding of the 'modern body' in the process is far removed from the 'eternal' or timeless object of common assumption. In fact, she argues, its roots go back no further than the sixteenth century at the earliest - and it has only truly existed in its current form since the nineteenth century.

Autonomy Museum : Death and the Body Displayed / author Elizabeth Hallam. - London : Reaktion Books, 2016. - 444 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Elizabeth Hallam's book investigates the social relationships and cultural practices that render deceased bodies visible and tangible in spaces of anatomical exploration and beyond. Anatomy museums contain some of the most compelling and challenging displays of the human body, and they have been used for professional training in which bodies after death are treated as vital sources of knowledge about the living. A surprisingly varied and ever-changing material and visual culture of human anatomy emerges through their history, shaped by multiple factors, including colonialism and war, as well as shifts in medical institutions, technologies and media.

Cross-Examinations / text by Vincent van Gerven Oei ; edited by Mihnea Mircan ; with contributions by Nicoline van Harskamp, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Willem Oorebeek [...et al.]. - Antwerpen : Extra City Kunsthal, 2015. - 98 p. : ills. ; 23 cm
Cross-Examinations is an exercise in writing, erasing, and rewriting. Its four, increasingly layered iterations interrogate issues relating to torture, pain, and being. They engage a series of texts and works, such as an exchange between Heidegger and Jünger, poetry by John Donne and Jean Daive, a novel by Nachoem Wijnberg, Cranach's The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine, Broodthaers's Fémur d'homme belge and Fémur de la femme française. A constant attempt to reassess its own claims, Cross-Examinations is a palimpsest, printed and reprinted until the ink becomes page.

Marius Lut : Form no Form / The Black Series / concept Marius Lut. - Den Haag : Marius Lut / Billytown, 2016. - 96 p. : ills. ; 32 cm
This artist's book serves as a framework and platform for artistic research and experiment. For the overall structure of the publication Marius Lut was inspired by the various functions of an imaginary building. Walk-in space, rest areas, the passage of time, volume, scale, proportions and other terms from architecture serve as a point of departure for the format and structure of the book. The publication makes use of white space to put a radical emphasis on the works.

IXIPTLA : Journal on Art and Anthropology Volume 1 / editor Mariana Castillo Deball ; contributors Moosje M. Goosen, Pablo Katchadijan, Victoria Novelo Oppenheim [...et al.]. - Berlin : Bom Dia Books, 2014. - 180 p. : ills. ; 28 cm
Ixiptla is a new biannual journal about trajectories of Anthropology, it has been initiated by the artist Mariana Castillo Deball.
This edition of Ixiptla is focused on the trajectory of objects collected and produced by archeologists - plaster molds, facsimiles, drawings, photographs, and scale models -, in an attempt to capture and replicate material evidences left by time; these objects emerge from a specific moment in time, producing a doppelgänger of the original milieu, which then takes its own course. For this first issue, a group of anthropologists, archaeologists, artists, and writers have been invited to reflect on the role of the model, the copy, and reproduction in their areas of research and practice.

Dit boek gaat over het grote gebouw van gewapend beton aan het Haagse Lange Voorhout, de Amerikaanse ambassade, die in 2017 zal verhuizen. Wat speelde zich achter die strenge façade af? Wat deed de ambassade tijdens de Koude Oorlog en hoe ging men om met de vele demonstraties tegen de Verenigde Staten vanaf de jaren zestig? Vijftien hoofdstukken van verschillende auteurs tekenen de rijke historie op van het Haagse zenuwcentrum van de Amerikaans-Nederlandse betrekkingen. Ze maakten daarbij gebruik van archiefmateriaal en interviews, maar ook van een cruciale recente bron: Wikileaks.

Archipel Ontwerpers : Scheveningen - En de rest van de wereld / door Eric Vredenburgh. - Den Haag : Archipelontwerpers, 2016. - 208 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Dit boek verhaalt, zowel in theorie als in anekdoten over architectuur, van Sceveningen tot China.
In antwoord op de schaarste van ruimte heeft Archipelontwerpers vanaf haar oprichting een pleidooi gehouden om steden intensiever en duurzamer te gebruiken. In onze visie betekent duurzame ontwikkeling dat men voorziet in de behoefte van de huidige samenleving en daarbij de mogelijkheden van toekomstige generaties niet belemmerd. Duurzaamheid in de alledaagse praktijk houdt rekening met materiaal, energie en de mogelijkheid tot transformatie. Het 'luchtgebonden bouwen' is op te vatten als een specifieke uitwerking van een transformatie strategie die de stad een nieuwe vitaliteit kan geven en de mono- functionaliteit van een omgeving kan doorbreken.

Lina Bo Bardi 100 : Brazil's Alternative Path to Modernism / edited by Andres Lepik and Vera Simone Bader ; with texts by Zeuler R. Lima, Olivia de Oliviera, Catherine Veikos [...et al.]. - Ostfildern : Hatje Cantz Verlag, 2014. - 368 p. : ills. ; 31 cm
Includes bibliography.
The Italio-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) forged a unique path with her bold designs. Spanning architecture, stage sets, fashion, and furniture, her work drew inspiration from the International Style, which she translated into her own visual language. Fundamental to her work was her thoughtful engagement with her adopted country of Brazil, its culture, society, and politics, and she productively and provocatively voiced her sometimes radical views through designs, exhibitions, and writings.
