188,95 kr. David Graeber's influential thinking was always at odds with the liberal and left-wing mainstream. Drawing on his huge theoretical and practical experience as an ethnologist and anthropologist, activist and anarchist, Graeber and his interlocutors develop a ramified genealogy of anarchist thought and possible perspectives for 21st-century politics. Diverging from the familiar lines of historical anarchism, and against the background of movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the Gilets jaunes, the aim is to provide new political impulses that go beyond the usual schemata of unavoidableness. The spontaneous and swift-moving polylogue shows Graeber as a spirited, unorthodox thinker and radical activist for whom the group can always achieve more than the individual.

518,95 kr. The book "Movements of Air" reprints the breathtaking pictures of Étienne-Jules Marey, that he took between 1899 and 1901 during his scientific experiments with moving air and smoke, and complements them with two essays of Georges Didi-Huberman and Laurent Mannoni. Laurent Mannoni accurately reflects Marey's experimental approach. As the founder of the "graphic method," Marey is also the developer of an aerodynamic wind tunnel. His experiments' photographs in fluid motion introduce us to a whole world of movements, turbulences and fluids. The resulting images influenced generations of scientists and artists alike. Georges Didi-Huberman expands on the philosophical debates surrounding these aesthetically and technically instructive images. He makes Bergson the main interlocutor and even the secret commentator of the scientist's experiments. Even though the scientist's main interest was graphic information, Huberman shows us how the flow of all things draws the ingenious experimenter to a photographic practice that creates drags, streaks, expansions, and visual dances. Marey's wind tunnel photographs were therefore themselves causes of turbulence in the history of images. The two artists Florian Dombois and Christoph Oeschger explore the "graphical" vortices of the last 120 years and provide at the end of the book a collage from historical and contemporary material interlaced with their own image making in Dombois's wind tunnel at the Zurich University of the Arts. The book was published originally in French on the occasion of the exhibition "Mouvements de l'air" at the Musee d'Orsay. The texts are now available for the first time as an English translation.

338,95 kr. Digitale Zeichnungen grundieren das vielschichtige, zwischen Skulptur und Bewegtbild changierende Werk des Schweizer Künstlers Yves Netzhammer seit seinen Anfängen. In den gravitationslosen Raum gezogene Linien setzen ein figuratives Denken ins Bild, das zu bizarren, komischen, unheimlichen Assoziationen verführt. Netzhammers ebenso raffinierte wie präzise Bildrhetorik eröffnet ein subtiles Spiel, das dem Betrachter eine Vielzahl an Deutungen erlaubt und sich im trügerischen Moment der Eindeutigkeit stets von neuem entzieht. So entstehen Kippbilder, in denen je nach Blickwinkel Komplexität und Leichtigkeit, formale Strenge oder gedankliches Wuchern in den Vordergrund treten. »Convex Thoughts« ist ein komplementär zu seinem Vorgänger »Concave Thoughts« konzipierter Buchraum - ein Vademecum für Träumer und Sinnierer, ein unendliches Storyboard einer Kunst auf der Höhe und in den Untiefen ihrer Zeit. Ausgabe mit 32 verschiedenen Covern.

238,95 kr. There is a new quality of idiocy today. While the old idiot derived knowledge from isolation, the new idiot refuses all understanding of the world. A figure of systematic incompetence, the new idiot is impacting global culture and politics alike, giving rise to surprising, often absurd competences. Yesterday's "fake news" or "post-truths" can be read today as evidence of an ongoing transformation of self-politics in which the idiotic impulse is redefining our experience of the world. Despite talk of global awareness, the isolated self of the many is all the more effective. It brings about a culture of happy singletons strolling towards a black hole that has become their substitute for society.Zoran Terzic's wide-ranging essay takes up the figure of the idiot and follows its numerous appearances throughout intellectual history in an examination of the "art of the idiotic" that both reflects and transcends the freneticism of the present.

333,95 kr. How to teach art? What kind of knowledge should artists absorb? How might an ordinary person become a creature addicted to the creative process; a non-artist become an artist? Such programmatic questions articulated by the acclaimed Polish artist Artur Zmijewski were at the heart of the workshop "How to Teach Art?" Between April and July 2018, Zmijewski invited a group of graduate and PhD students from three Zurich universities-the ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), the UZH (University of Zurich), and the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts)-to collectively reflect on their artistic practices. Over the course of four months, the group met several times a week for hourlong sessions, following individual and collective exercises devised by Zmijewski himself.This book retraces the workshop and its process by means of inconclusive, fragmentary results between theory and practice:. It presents drawings, videos, photographs, 16mm films, and accompanying reflections on the central premise, "How to Teach Art?"
