Résumé:
Inspired by the symmetrical, Jeffersonian layout of the American Pavilion’s neoclassical architecture, and by Thomas Cole's cycle of the same name, Ed Ruscha installed this ten-painting exhibition titled "Course of empire" at the 2005 Venice biennale. Five pieces are painted in color and five in black and white. The artist paired each work from his 1992 Blue collar series with a new color canvas depicting the future of the same urban landscape, some deteriorated, some growing and changing, some seemingly gentrifying. The exhibition will travel in 2006 to The Whitney museum of American art in New York. Essays from Linda Norden, the U.S. commissioner for the Venice Biennale, and artist Frances Stark celebrate the work, while Joan Didion’s coolly written but deeply felt piece about her own brokenhearted longing for Los Angeles hits a perfect note.

Résumé:
A book for all the senses, exuding the flowery scent of wallflower, tufted violet, vanilla, calamint, lavender, and sage. Olafur Eliasson (*1967 in Copenhagen) is one of the most famous artists of his generation. In his installations, the Icelandic artist deals with aspects of land art, transplanting his contemporary interpretations of it to museums and thoughtfully planned park settings. The scented tunnel created for Wolfsburg, Germany's motor city, elucidates a fascinating interplay of nature and technology, where multiple sensory impressions combine to form a whole in the observer's perception. This publication documents Dufttunnel throughout an entire season. The various blooming phases of different plants are accompanied by scientific and art-historical interpretations of the Dufttunnel phenomenon.

Résumé:
The Walker Art Center recently opened its expanded space, which includes a new theatre, a new restaurant, and more galleries, but is best known for being Herzog & de Meuron’s first public building in the United States. The project drew national coverage from media including 'The New York Times'. 'Expanding the Center' caters to and piques public interest in the building with a generous selection of images, including sketches, renderings, and photographs of the construction process and the completed work. Herzog & de Meuron’s shimmering but grounded design mirrors the textures and shades of the Walker’s original space, and an institutional philosophy based in innovation and risk-taking, the exploration of alternative approaches to learning, the experimental use of technologies to communicate information, and the design of spaces to enhance a variety of museum experiences. The book is organized around the decisions and actions of the architects, builders, Walker staff and the audience - i.e. designing, constructing, unveiling, staging, gathering, patterning, framing, collecting - and highlights the thinking that led to the visible form of the Center as well as the innovative projects and initiatives that give it its inimitable character.

Résumé:
The photographer best known for his extensive, insightful documentation of "the American social landscape"-from jazz musicians to factory hands to New York pedestrians and office workers zoning out at their keyboards-has recently been spending more time looking at the literal, natural landscape. His 2005 MoMA retrospective showed, for the first time, a new series of landscapes made in the American west, while for "Olives and apples", he has looked back over the last decade’s work and culled a forest, tree by tree. His docile subjects, apple trees photographed in New York State and olive trees photographed in France, Italy and Spain from 1997-2004, are presented in circumstances ranging from sunny, leafy summer health to glittering winter ice-storm glory. Some of the most striking compositions are shot from just inside the reach of a tree’s furthest twigs, so that expanding branching limbs fill the frame, stretching out around the viewer.

Résumé:
Flyers are a highly original expression of urban youth culture. These flyers directly reflect the contemporary Zeitgeist of a generation as it experiments with its multi-disciplinary content and graphics. Since 1998, Soziotope has been dedicated to the collection and exhibition of recent and historic designs and texts illuminating this cultural phenomenon. This particular catalogue illustrates the entire spectrum of this media-culture, from the genre's inception to its dissemination among a wide variety of social, economic and media-specific agents. Both the origins of this propaganda medium and its imagined future are presented in this 608 page compendium, which covers a quarter century of examples from German, Europe and abroad. More than a dozen authors take a scientific and entertaining look at this impressive body of work.
