Gerrit Gohlke Reihenfolge der Bücher

Die Wehrhahn-Linie, eine von Architekten, Künstlern, Ingenieuren und der Stadtverwaltung von Beginn an in Kooperation entwickelte U-Bahn-Strecke im Zentrum von Düsseldorf, wird zu einem neuen Modell für gemeinschaftliches Bauen. Verwirklicht werden konnte das Gesamtkonzept eines U-Bahn-Tunnels als "unterirdisches Raumkontinuum", das sich ähnlich einer riesigen Schlange durch das Erdreich windet und sich an den Stationen weitet. Die Publikation dokumentiert und beleuchtet den Hintergrund dieser einzigartigen Zusammenarbeit

„Mondo Veneziano. High Noon in the Sinking City“ addresses a wide variety of theoretical discourses currently on the contemporary art agenda, confronting them with a series of unexpected and spectacular events. Cast in an abandoned Venice, „Mondo Veneziano“ narrates a meeting of four protagonists, representative of key players in the art world, who appear to conduct a complex theoretical debate. But their soliloquious confrontation – an insidious patchwork of quotations from recent specialist literature, paraphrasing the widely used „post-modern“ technique of sampling – is interrupted by a string of bloody killings, largely inspired by common cinema genres such as gore or splatter movies. The Venice that serves as a backdrop to the characters' intellectual and physical joust is in reality a large-scale film set located in a southern town in Luxembourg, which has served in numerous feature films. „Mondo Veneziano“ does not attempt to conceal the backlot; rather, the city itself becomes something of a quotation, much like the protagonists, who are depicted as actors rehearsing their comic-style figures for a final showdown. Alternating sinuous discursive phases with resolute physical action, „Mondo Veneziano“ is a part serious, part caustic comment on a professional milieu.
