Stellproblemen (which means “set-problems”, and is purposely misspelled in German), is an artist book by Heimo Zobernig. Along with notions like alter ego, copy, dummy, imitation, mimicry, proxy, remake, substitution, and, of course, coincidence, the book addresses for the first time a central aspect of his work: the notion of repetition, which is inscribed into the very design of the book.

With texts by Dan Fox, Anja Casser and a conversation with Daniel Pies.

This first monograph of German artist Andrea Büttner follows her solo exhibition at Badischer Kunstverein and was developed in close collaboration with the artist. In addition to drawing, photograph, video, reverse painting on glass and silkscreen, Büttner uses the technique of woodcut. It is the supposed antiquity of this medium – as well as the artistic tradition which it evokes – that refers to a fundamental question in her work: How is it possible to comprehend or to describe the threshold which is occupied by an artwork between the intimate practice of production and the public practice of exhibitions? Büttner’s works not only thematize aspects of individual surrender, failure and shame, but also refer to the exemplary, utopian imagination of life-forms operating beyond these feelings of inadequacy.

Produced on the occasion of Ian Wilson’s Discussion at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 1 March, 2009.

Ian Wilson presented spoken language as his artistic medium, liberating art from its material form and opening it up to the unpredictability of verbal exchange. Through his Discussions, he engaged individuals in private and public conversations about verbal communication. Wilson views speech as dematerialized sculpture, believing that words enable one to “have the essential features of the object at your disposal.”

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Prunella Clough, 50 Years of Making Art at Annely Juda Fine Art, London, 28 January–21 March, 2009.

Prunella Clough found her subjects by touring London’s industrial wastelands and bombsites – docks, power stations, factories and scrapyards – creating gritty, urban images. Her work – comprising paintings, collages, drawings, reliefs and graphics – increasingly centred on the components of the cityscape as her art, shifted away from representation through various influences including cubism and European abstraction.
