Exhibition film programme produced on the occasion of the exhibition Michel Auder: Dreams That Money Cant Buy, curated by Adam Szymczyk at Karma International, 17 September–31 October, 2021.

The layout is derived from the design of the monograph Stories, Myths, Ironies and Other Songs: Conceived, Directed, Edited and Produced by M. Auder, published by Kunsthalle Basel and Sternberg Press in 2014, both designed by Julia Born.

Produced on the occasion of Vincent Fecteau’s exhibition at the Wattis Institute in San Francisco in the fall of 2019. Along with a group of new sculptures by Fecteau, the exhibition also featured two works by Lutz Bacher. The catalogue includes texts by Anthony Huberman, who curated the exhibition, Don Potts, Renny Pritikin and Fanny Singer.

The publication Fontanel includes photographs by Constantin Thun taken in the artist’s apartment between 2016 and 2021. As embedded in Thun’s artistic practice of creating frameworks, challenging them, and drawing from them, his apartment is also considered such a framework and serves as a resource for the creation of new works. The identity of the resulting works is the sum of the information collected and repeatedly edited from the living spaces—whether in the form of notes made, books read, a quick snack, observations of one’s surroundings. Like the spaces themselves, the illustrated book with its snapshots also functions as an archive of these ephemeral conditions. Edition of 200.

Produced on the occasion of Kai Althoff Goes with Bernard Leach at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, 7 October 2020–10 January, 2021.

German artist Kai Althoff (born 1966) is renowned as a figurative painter and creator of all-encompassing poetic environments that incorporate textiles, photographs, drawings and artifacts. Althoff draws from a wide range of literary, cultural and artistic influences in his work, and for his unique display at Whitechapel Gallery in London he pays tribute to British potter Bernard Leach (1887–1979), selecting around 20 of Leach’s ceramic vessels and tiles from the 1920s onward to be displayed in specially designed vitrines.

This publication edited by Michael Krebber features 22 photographs by Uwe Gabriel that were made in 1980 for the poster of the exhibition Aktion Pisskrücke: Geheimdienst am Nächsten that took place the same year in Hamburg. Accompanying the photographs is an introductory text by Michael Sanchez.

Theatre is an artist book that documents seven early performances by Dan Graham taking place from 1969 to 1977 with notes, transcripts, or photographs for each work. Originally published in 1978, and produced here in facsimile form, the publication focuses on several key works that interrogate or undermine the psychological and social space created by, or between, individuals inside the performance venue.

Like most of Graham’s work, they also serve as a critique of cultural norms, with many of the performances utilizing quotidian, social acts that are amplified over time. For example, in Lax/Relax (1969), Graham’s subversion of West Coast new ageism, the artist chants “relax” in sync with a recording of a woman saying “lax” in a meditative manner, which implicates the audience into a group breathing exercise or hypnosis over the course of 30 minutes.
