Résumé:
Since the sixties, the American artist Keith Sonnier has introduced light into his sculptures and installations. In collaboration with architects Baumschlager & Eberle, Sonnier has recently created a light installation for an underground passage in the Munich Re Group building. Neon lighting bathes the corridors in intense colour, thereby taking on a spatial quality. For the new parish church of St. Franciscus in Steyr-Resthof in Upper Austria by the architects Riepl & Rieple, Sonnier developed an all-embracing concept whereby light is the sign of a liturgical venue and constitutes the focal point of an entire neighbourhood.

Résumé:
he combination of pictorial motifs and words or sentences has long been a special feature of Ed Ruscha’s (born 1937) paintings. As he himself commented in an interview in 1989: "Words are pattern-like, and in their horizontality they answer my investigation into landscape ... they are almost not words--they are objects that become words." This attraction to combinations of word and image has naturally disposed Ruscha toward the book as an art form, and as both an object and subject in his paintings. This volume commemorates a bequest of paintings, photographs and books by Ruscha to the Museum Brandhorst in Munich, complementing their existing works.

Résumé:
Black Spaces thematises the phenomenon of a space without light. How can such a seemingly limitless space be grasped? How can space be conceived and designed if the parameters actually contradict the spatial dimensions? A project group at the Technical University of Munich has examined the topic from different perspectives. Conversations with the architects Donatella Fioretti, Astrid Staufer and Francesca Torzo explore this architectural phenomenon. Additional brief bon mots and quotations come from architects, artists and filmmakers, who illuminate the subject very differently. This book shows the results of the design work using selected examples that accompany the textual content of the book as a separate storyline.

Résumé:
Germaine Krull (1897–1985) was a member of the generation that revolutionised the practice of photography in the 1920s, and the originality of her work is the reflection of a very distinctive temperament. After early years marked by political involvement in the Spartacist uprising in Munich and Berlin and studio photography notable for the deep erotic ambiguity of her female nudes, she attained renown in the late 1920s, largely for the work published in the portfolio Métal (1928). With its low-angle shots of cranes and bridges and details of iron structures, it was a seminal statement of the New Vision aesthetic in France.

Résumé:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new light. Architecture critic Erwin Viray delves into this kind of reasoning in a conversation with Kerez, while the book beautifully presents examples of his designs, among them, a high-rise in Zhengzhou, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, social housing in Paraisópolis and a school building in Munich.
