In her video works, Berlin-based Laura Horelli (born 1976) uses the documentary idiom to explore communication and miscommunication in the globalized world, as well as memory and personal history, emphasizing reality as a subjective and malleable concept. This comprehensive catalogue documents her body of work to date.

Bohl's poetic images captivate through their lightness, bright colors and distinct forms. His installations, paintings, drawings and murals are influenced by figures like Anni Albers and Erika Mann, who have inspired his fascination for Modern architecture, Cubism and the exploration of the arts and crafts.

In this German-language-only installment of Hans Ulrich Obrist's Conversation Series, the acclaimed curator-conversationalist speaks with the German Pop Surrealist painter Konrad Klapheck, and includes the German conceptual photographer Hans-Peter Feldmann--who was there to document the afternoon's activities with a series of photographic portraits--in the talk. Writing of Klapheck's psycho-erotic "machine" imagery in a 1994 Art in America review, critic Ken Johnson wrote, "What makes Klapheck's pictures compelling is the way the objects he paints are psycho-erotically animated. His machines...are like primitive totems...monumental, amusingly absurd and sexually suggestive." This volume contains generous photo documentation, with many new paintings depicting offbeat human sexual encounters reproduced in color.

Glass of Water provides an overview of Tony Matelli's sculpture of the past ten years, from his extraordinary (and sometimes scary) hyperrealistic sculptures of monkeys in combat and maimed humans to precarious stacks of cards and beer cans, or simpler works such as the titular piece, a comedic-sculptural expression of optimism.

It looks like a thick, juicy romance novel, but it's actually a collection of brushy, ephemeral, fin-de-siecle-esque paintings by the young German artist Sophie von Hellermann. Currently based in London, she recently exhibited at Greene Naftali Gallery in New York and Mark Foxx gallery, Los Angeles.

Here, Baxstrom and Meyers examine how violence and an unmarked, stubbornly persistent conception of "nature" weave into the fabric of the human in the recent work of three important filmmakers: Werner Herzog, Joshua Oppenheimer (particularly The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence) and Lucien Castaing-Taylor.

The celebrated architect and Pritzker Prize-winner speaks with series editor Hans Ulrich Obrist about the projects that established her distinctive, deconstructivist style, and shares her thoughts about contemporary architecture. Conceptual and structural questions are discussed with great precision, providing insight into one of the world's most influential architectural firms.

This publication presents documentation surrounding the public-limited-company-as-artwork, "Maria Eichhorn Aktiengesellschaft," which was a star of 2002's Documenta XI and won that year's Arnold Bode Prize. In addition to texts establishing the political, economic, judicial and theoretical context of the work, this volume contains revealing tax and contractual documents.

Sam Lewitt (born 1981) investigates the relations between language and technological products. This volume documents a work that takes the form of a disposable, self-contained and unsustainable evaporation system for a magnetic fluid used in a myriad of manufacturing applications, cheap fans and industrial magnets.

Through a variety of media including painting, sculpture, video, installation, architectural interventions and performance art, the work of Vienna-based artist Heimo Zobernig (born 1958) calls into question conventional art narratives. This publication traces his career from the 1980s to the present.

The first monograph on London-based artist Toby Ziegler, this publication offers an in-depth analysis of the last ten years of his work. Ziegler's paintings and sculptures reconfigure traditional motifs such as landscapes and still lifes into more abstract forms.

7 Works collects recent Sierra projects realized in a range of locales--India, Mexico and Venezuela--between 2005 and 2007. It includes the controversial 21 Anthropometric Modules Made from Human Faeces by the People of Sulabh International project, for which human feces were collected in New Delhi and Jaipur, dried for three years, mixed with an agglutinative plastic and dried in molds to produce the final sculptures.

"To express yourself in art is horrible," German artist Jonathan Meese (born 1970) once said. In this volume, he proves his point with a body of work that consists exclusively of self-portraits ranging from graffitied photos to collages, and paintings both realistic and abstracted, until their subject, himself, loses its personal significance.

The German Fluxus artist Tomas Schmit worked in actions, concepts, language pieces, texts, books, editions and, especially, the enigmatic, questioning, often humorous drawings gathered in this small, four-decade survey--published one year after the artist's 2006 death in Berlin.

This catalog documents the exhibition of works by German painter Sabine Moritz (born 1969) at the Kabinett für aktuelle Kunst in Bremen, including installation photographs of Berlin, color lithographs from Sea Kings (2014-17), Ghost Town (2016) and her 2017 series Neuland.
