A rich and engaging book, HEXEN 2039: New Military-Occult Technologies for Psychological Warfare; A Rosalind Brodsky Research Programme is part artist's monograph and part chilling premonition of the future, echoing the world of graphic novels and computer games.

Die schwedische Künstlerin Marie-Louise Ekman zeigt neben einer neuen umfangreichen Werkreihe von Gemälden etwa 200 Arbeiten aus Schaffensphasen ab den späten 1960er-Jahren. In ganz eigener Bildsprache setzt sie oftmals feste Figurenkonstellationen in Szene und unterzieht sie einer graduellen Verschiebung von Beziehungs- und Rollenmustern. Das Theater dient ihr als immer wiederkehrende Metapher. Ekmans teils auf persönlicher Erfahrung beruhende Bilder decken Absurditäten des Alltags auf und unterminieren gesellschaftliche Konstruktionen. Es ist die erste Überblicksschau seit 1998, die ihrem gesamten Œuvre gewidmet ist. Ebenso wie die Künstlerin selbst zwischen wechselseitig aufeinander wirkenden Ausdrucksformen der bildenden und darstellenden Kunst pendelt, werden auch Marie-Louise Ekmans Film- und Bühnenwerke als zentrale Elemente in die Ausstellung einbezogen.

“Science is a tool to think with, just like art…” This publication contains transcriptions of conversations between the artist Alexandra Hunts and Charles M. Marcus, professor in Condensed Matter Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Roland Barthes famously wrote: “Interdisciplinarity consists in creating a new object that belongs to no one.” This epistemological homelessness echoes through both Hunts’ and Marcus’s immigrant condition, and the histories of 20th-century art and science.

HFT The Gardener extends Treister's fascination with esoteric translation, the cybernetics of consciousness, and the hallucinatory aesthetics that radiate from real-world circulations of power.

Art Now Volume I brings together the recent work and biographical information for our selection of the 150 most influential artists working at the end of the 20th century. Art Now also includes a sort of service guide, produced in collaboration with The Art Newspaper, which lists museums, restaurants, and hotels we recommend you check out while you're cruising the global art scene, and even gives the scoop on how much one can expect to pay for a Damien Hirst or a Sharon Lockhart and whom to contact if you decide to buy. We also let you know useful details like how many prints Wolfgang Tillmans made for a certain edition and what sorts of sums big players like Koons, Sherman, and Struth bring in at auction. Think of it as an indispensable reference book, travel guide, and art market directory all rolled into one.

HEXEN 2.0 is the sequel to HEXEN 2039, which imagined new technologies for psychological warfare through investigating links between the occult and the military in relation to histories of witchcraft, the US film industry, British Intelligence agencies, Soviet brainwashing and behaviour control experiments of the US Army.

"Populism Reader accompanies Populism, an exhibition project in four European cities (Vilnius, Oslo, Amsterdam, Frankfurt am Main) exploring the relationships between contemporary art and current populist cultural and political trends. Conceived as an anthology, the publication comprises essays covering various aspects and approaches to the populist experience. The book is designed by M/M (Paris) and illustrated by Atelier Van Lieshout; contributions stem from amongst others activists, journalists, art critics, philosophers and political scientists. The Populism Reader goes beyond academic styles in order to respond to historical and current aspects of the populist experience, as they surface in relation to art, activism, the role of the intellectual, political desires, religion and other issues"--Publisher's website
