Summary:
Bertram's exploration of the Turkish house shows how this feature of Ottoman culture took on symbolic meaning in the Turkish imagination as Turkey became more Westernized and secular in the early decades of the twentieth century. She shows how artists, writers, and architects all drew on the memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing notions of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested, revised, or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.

These are the fragments Francis Upritchard has shored against her ruins. Thrift store pots have been remade as canopic urns, ancient Egyptian repositories for the organs of the dead. A gift from a relative, an unwanted wedding present or a memory of a day out, even the tackiest ornament once played a small symbolic function in someone’s life. Now they have been detourned(...)

Summary:
These are the fragments Francis Upritchard has shored against her ruins. Thrift store pots have been remade as canopic urns, ancient Egyptian repositories for the organs of the dead. A gift from a relative, an unwanted wedding present or a memory of a day out, even the tackiest ornament once played a small symbolic function in someone’s life. Now they have been detourned to reveal the underlying purpose of all that frantic personalising and decorating of domestic space, the fabrication of memories to set against death.

Summary:
This issue is dedicated to the politics of memory and forms of ritualized mourning in art and culture. Rather than focusing on an analysis of an ostensibly universal emotion or general state of affairs, the contributions look into the concrete and diverse practices of engagement with loss and grief as a continual challenge to society. Issue #126 addresses questions of loss and mourning in the context of racist and right-wing violence. At the same time, it draws attention to the transformative powers of grief.

Summary:
Travelling exhibition catalogue (Middelburg, Milan, Paris) of an exhibition project presenting 12 emerging young artists, providing a theoretical hypothesis on the use and manipulation of forms, images and texts, highlighting both their formal implications and their philosophical, political and social content.The artists will thus not only reflect on the potential themes raised by the various components, but will offer a broader reflection on the contemporary meaning of memory, and hence authenticity, fiction and falsehood. Artists include Richard Sympson, Batia Suter, Irene Kopelman, Jeroen Kooijmans, Invernomuto, Mark Geffriaud, Linda Fregni Nagler, Diego Marcon and others.

Summary:
The work of Angela Grauerholz occupies an important place in Canadian and international photography. From the 1980s on, her search to redefine the art of photography has taken various forms including portraits and interior and exterior scenes with or without people. Yet regardless of the subject, her work gives an impression of timelessness with images that are both commonplace and sublime. This retrospective publication covers twenty years of production and highlights Grauerholz’s major photographic and installation works. Three critical essays discuss the work in relation to time, memory and representation.

Summary:
On the occasion of the joint exhibition On Reality by Cristina Iglesias and Thomas Struth, Ivorypress presents Constructions of the Imagination, with an essay by Estrella de Diego. It is an exhibition which, in the words of Estrella de Diego 'raises the essential question of gaze, a subject that is directly applicable to the works of both artists: how should we judge what we see? To what extent is it being reconstructed by our memory or imagination? How can you turn reality on its head based on the story being told?'
