What happens when three artists (Hans Demeulenaere, Nikolaas Demoen, and Marc Nagtzaam) exchange this red nomadic frame among themselves and shape it to their sculptural, drawing, and choreographic hand? The limited edition book’s accordion-style pages are accompanied by a text insert by Simon Delobel.

Summary:
The Slovak artist Jana Želibská’s (b. Olomouc, former Czechoslovakia, 1941; lives and works in Bratislava, Slovakia) output ranges from fine art prints, drawings, paintings, objects, and videos to environments, conceptual art, installations, and intermedia art. She first emerged as a major figure on Slovakia’s independent art scene, which embraced conceptual and performative approaches, in the 1960s. Her confidence and progressive convictions speak from her early installations, which candidly address erotic desire and shatter patriarchal structures. The female body stands at the center of Želibská’s immersive environments and paintings. She likes to toy with the audience’s voyeuristic desire, integrating mirrors where one would expect to see female genitalia and veiling parts of the body with curtains. "Jana Želibská—Discovery of Possibility" is the artist’s first solo exhibition outside Slovakia after she made her international debut in the shared pavilion of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017. The accompanying catalogue is the first publication on her oeuvre in the German-speaking countries and includes contributions by Nathalie Hoyos, Lucia Gregorová Stach, Rainald Schuhmacher, and Alfred Weidinger.

Summary:
The artist Sandra Schlipkoeter (b. Solingen, Germany, 1979; lives and works in Berlin) uses the concept of interference as an umbrella term for her extensive oeuvre, which spans the media of painting, sculpture, and installation art. She studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Art with Eberhard Havekost, who had a profound influence on her as she devised her own photorealistic visual language. Interferences of natural and digital light she engenders using photography and then reproduces by painterly means have been central to her work since 2012; she translates them into oil paintings, cut-outs made from fabric-like structures, and installations. Experimenting with the diverse manifestations of light and variously cutting up, superimposing, and contorting materials such as mirror foil or paper, she creates visual universes that brim with energy. The monograph "Interferenzen" presents her output of the past ten years. With essays by Gisela Elbracht-Iglhaut and Thomas Kuhn and a conversation with the artist by Anna Matzek.

Few documents provide more insight into his evolution from figural to abstract art—or into the development of abstraction in the early twentieth century—than the pages of his sketchbooks. Featuring previously unpublished drawings, "Wassily Kandinsky: The sketchbooks" is a comprehensive selection of hundreds of sketches from twelve notebooks Kandinsky kept between 1889 and 1935. Beginning with early figure studies, architectural sketches, and landscapes, the notebooks reveal a process of exploration that would lead Kandinsky from his first experiments in geometric abstraction to paintings that reshaped modernism.

Since the 1980s, Marilyn Minter has been a pioneer of sex-positive feminism in the contemporary art world, pushing the boundaries of what kind of imagery is acceptable in fine art, especially when produced by women. In her photorealistic paintings, including of celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Lizzo, Minter draws on the aesthetics of fashion magazines, depicting cropped women’s faces and bodies laden with jewels and couture accessories. In some of her work, she has explored how the meaning of pornographic imagery changes when it’s appropriated and transformed by a woman artist. Gathered from interviews, articles, and other sources, ''Minter-isms'' is a compelling collection of quotations that presents Minter’s revealing thoughts on art, women, power, sexuality, pornography, politics, and more. Filled with wisdom and humor, the book offers new insights about the life, work, and mind of this groundbreaking artist.
