Vertikal Klub is a manual for future installations of the “Vertical Club”, a project launched by Willem Oorebeek in 1994 and which has been developing ever since. The book not only compiles in an archaeological way present and (potential) future members of the “Vertical Club”, but also reflects on the use and representation of the human figure in print media. Text and image are connected in a radical way, pushing the idea of administrative visual statistics towards the absurd. “Vertikal Klub” raises the question as to the admission policy and representational use of the human figure in dark times.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ana Mendieta: Body Tracks at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, 19 October, 2002–23 February, 2003.

Considered a pioneer of performance art, land art and body art, Ana Mendieta left Cuba for exile in the US in her early youth and died under tragic circumstances in 1985. Linking avant-garde forms of expression with the spiritual mysticism of SanterÌa, a syncretistic religious movement, but also with issues of gender and questions of migration, her work is relevant still today.

With texts by Patrick Dondelinger and Laura Roulet.

This comprehensive book on the work of the “capitalistic realist” KP Brehmer, who engaged with sociopolitical issues and tackled the visual media of the BRD and the conditions of capitalist image production and reception in a complex manner, is published on the occasion of what would have been his 80th birthday. He left behind a diverse, experimental, analytic and humorous oeuvre, which poses questions that are again becoming increasingly topical. In it he made use of image material from advertising and political propaganda in the form of posters, images from public television and from magazines and newspapers, which he presented in an altered context in the form of graphic art, paintings, printed editions, books or films. In collaboration with the artist’s estate and his former gallerist and collector René Block, the catalogue offers a multifaceted insight into work of KP Brehmer and facilitates a revaluation of the work.
