Produced on the occasion of The Secret Paintings of Hilma af Klint, a Swedish Pioneer in Modern Art, organised by the Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, from 7 March–30 May, 2010.

With esotericism, theosophy and Madame Blavatsky all the rage at the end of the nineteenth century, the Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), generally known then for her landscapes and portraits, began to participate in small séances. These eventually led to a body of secret paintings. Whilst having received the spirit ‘Ananda’ in a state of trance, in 1904, Af Klint, agrees to follow orders and starts a body of mainly abstract works, incorporating a heavy symbolic language. These works; about 1000 paintings and 124 notebooks, were not to be made public until 20 years after her death, fearing they would not be understood.

Was Ist Los is a facsimile reproduction of a 2003 essay by Seth Price, bound within a one-of-a-kind spray-painted cover. Previously published as "Decor Holes," "Unique Source/All Natural Suicide Gang," "Akademische Graffiti," and "Depletion," it was first written to accompany Price's 2006 album Akademische Graffiti.

(Mis)reading Masquerades comprises a selection of theoretical texts drawn from different fields of knowledge that address questions such as transgression, gender identity and subversion, gesture, the carnivalesque, the construction of subjectivity, authorship, mimesis, and alterity. The publication features introductions to each text by the participants of our monthly reading group, newly commissioned essays by writers and curators from the field of contemporary art and contributions by artists from the Dutch Art Institute (Enschede) and Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam).

The works of Daniel Gustav Cramer are based on accurate observations of ‘invisible’ moments that only reveal themselves at a second glance. In his photographs, text works and books, he depicts structured systems as well as personal experiences; large scale objects are next to the smallest ones, nothing is obvious. The work opens up in reflection.

Thirty-Six presents thirty-six works by Daniel Gustav Cramer in the restricted space of a book. It is an exhibition of Cramer’s works in its own right, that exceeds mere documentation and makes for multi-faceted new associations and moods.

Thirty-Six was published as part of the exhibitions Eight Works at Dortmunder Kunstverein, Germany and Six Works at the Return, Dublin, Ireland. The publication is a continuation of the recent exhibition series.

Supported by Kunststiftung NRW. Edition 500.

Published on the occasion of Six Works at Return Gallery, Dublin.

A text that loops and merges into one continuous narration, describing a man walking on a forest path at night on his way home.
