With texts by Sabine Breitwieser, Helmut Draxler and Reiner Zettl.
This publication documents the exhibition Educational Complex focussing on various issues related to a topic also addressed in a lecture series. In the show he organized, the artist Rainer Ganahl tries to locate where art finds its abhorred Other, namely, in education and its institutions. Educational policy, the intellectualization of art, with the overlapping of art and critical discourse figures significantly just as the exhibition is a medium.
Texts by Ingvild Birkhan, Sabine Breitwieser, Tom McDonough, Rainer Ganahl, Mike Kelley and Edward W. Said.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, The Dream of the Audience, at the Generali Foundation, Vienna, 14 May–15 August, 2004.
From the mid-1970s until her death at age 31 in 1982, Korean-born artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha created a rich body of conceptual art that explored displacement and loss. Her works included artists’ books, mail art, performance, audio, video, film, and installation. Although grounded in French psychoanalytic film theory, her art is also informed by far-ranging cultural and symbolic references, from shamanism to Confucianism and Catholicism. Her collage-like book Dictée, which was published posthumously in 1982, is recognized as an influential investigation of identity in the context of history, ethnicity and gender.
Preface by Dietrich Karner, introduction by Sabine Breitwieser, texts by Constance M. Lewallen, Lawrence Rinder, Trinh T. Minh-ha and Bernadette Hak Eun.
