ART SOCIETY FEEDBACK is the first comprehensive monographic publication on the work of the British artist Stephen Willats. From the 1960s until today, Stephen Willats has developed a pioneering practice based on collaboration, interactivity and participation. His works, which are structured like charts and are frequently based on workshops in social focal points with a large number of participants, are intended to encourage viewers to engage with their own creative and cognitive processes, and thereby to examine and transform the way they perceive existing reality.

With texts from Ute Meta Bauer, Brigitte Franzen, Tom Holert, Emily Pethick and Andrew Wilson.

Vorbereitung
Otto Meyer-Amden
Published by Galerie Buchholz, Cologne, 2019, 32 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 29.5 cm, English
Price: €15

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Otto Meyer-Amden: Vorbereitung at Galerie Buchholz, New York, 26 September–2 November, 2019.

Otto Meyer-Amden (1885–1933) was a Swiss painter and graphic artist renowned for his devotional works that explore themes of human affection, meditation, and spiritual inner movement through a blend of figuration and geometric abstraction.

In 1912, after studies Zurich, Munich and Stuttgart, he relocated to the village of Amden in eastern Switzerland—later incorporating it into his surname—and spent much of his career there until 1928, producing drawings and paintings in media such as pencil, chalk, Indian ink, watercolour, and oil that emphasise connective density, simplicity, and truth derived from spiritual necessity.
