We started making machines together in 2010. These machines consisted of a sensor and device couplet, by which a sensor would trigger a device to perform a simple task. We experimented with sensor inputs like passing cars and tasks like heat guns blowing up trash bags, or later we would connect the machines to trains and have them push little cardboard cars back and forth. Still triggered by trains, the machines now move clock parts.

We disassemble mechanical clocks, take their parts and combine them with L-brackets, screws, washers, nuts, motors, felt, rubber bands, fishing line, and heat shrink tubing. The characteristics of the clock parts constrain and guide our activities. As we reinvent their function, the parts become less and less recognizable, their movements more and more estranged.

For decades, Maurizio Nannucci has preserved exhibition invitation cards. The collection comprises both invitations and announcements from artists whose approaches to art are close to his own. Yet many also come from wider circles of artist friends, colleagues, galleries, and museums, allowing a chronology of relationships and information exchanges to emerge. The selection in this volume makes visible how this kind of communication – often conceived by the artists themselves – superimposes the purely informative value of the printed matter with the freedom of artistic expression; evidence of a holistic practice where such cards can become artworks in their own right.

Jochen Lempert brings his signature blend of scientific sensitivity and poetic vision to the remote Greek island of Kastellorizo. Known for his black-and-white photographs and background in biology, Lempert turns his lens to the subtle presences of animal, vegetal, and mineral life on this isolated Mediterranean outpost. Through a series of quietly observational images, Lempert documents the island’s micro-ecologies with a field biologist’s care and an artist’s attunement to form and chance. As always, he eschews dramatic framing and post-production, relying on natural light, analog processes, and an acute sense of timing.

A contemplative photographic series by Jochen Lempert, created during a residency at the Moulin des Ribes in Grasse, a former mill nestled in the Provençal landscape. Known for his background in biology and his distinctive analogue black-and-white photography, Lempert brings a scientific sensitivity and poetic restraint to his exploration of the site’s immediate environment. Shot entirely on location, the images focus on subtle interactions between natural forms and their surroundings. Rather than constructing grand ecological narratives, Lempert observes everyday life in and around the mill, drawing attention to the interdependencies and ephemeral presences that define a place.
