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.

Solution 186–195: Dubai Democracy is the fifth book in the Solution series. Using Dubai as a sort of modernist blank slate for urban and social renewal, author Ingo Niermann confronts today’s most relevant cultural and technological developments with analytical elixirs that are as pertinent as they are unbelievable. Niermann’s Dubai will become as specialized as housing the global center for treating diabetes—called Sugar World—and as universal as offering non-confrontational public spaces where both a state of total advertising and compulsive kindness, or what he calls a “personal humaneness account,” co-exist.
