Times is an annual publication concerned with memory and representation. The first edition of Times, The Puzzling Almanac, is a pictorial atlas arranged according to a calendrical structure.
365 photographs from the early 19th to the early 20th century were assembled to a book, enabling the reader to embark on time travels through unlikely associations between scientific inventions, ancient discoveries and past current affairs. The blatant staging of the photographs that have become constituents of our collective memory, reveal the futility of objectifiable, transhistorical systems of measurement and documentation. We are always dealing with genealogical, indexicalized representations, or in less fancy words, with storytelling.

The cyclical notion of the calendar installs the photographs in the realm of the clockwork of the skies, an ongoing movement that allows brief glimpses of time, yet as soon as we have realized, they have already escaped our grasp and disappeared into something scientists have described as an ever-expanding, strange spiral.

Realizing the problematic nature of the simple question ‘What is the future of Architecture?’ we feel it is still somehow relevant in describing the architectural practice of today.

For lack of a better word, there is a profoundly magical moment in the works of Robert Montgomery: In the middle of the street, we might come across his words and realise that someone is speaking with us – through an anonymous poem between advertising billboards or as an unidentified page in a magazine, or a light installation illuminating the night. But while introducing poetry as sparkles of beauty into the public realm, presenting words as living part of our environment, Robert’s words and works have a tendency to linger in our memory for a long time as they slowly unfold. His poems are an archive of moments that poignantly capture the way it feels to live at this moment in time. They articulate, reprehend and simultaneously celebrate our shared experience of modern life. ‘Echoes of Voices in the High Towers’ is the first comprehensive publication of Robert Montgomery’s work. Referencing the scale of his public interventions, all images are presented in full colour in a momentous A2 format, folding out to A1.
The publication is divided into three separate booklets.

Every Morning Now: A selection of Robert Montgomery’s work between 2004 and 2012.
Echoes of Voices in the High Towers: A complete documentation of the eponymous project in Berlin, Summer 2012.
Alive in the Sunlight: Two conversations, in 2008 and 2012, with Robert Montgomery.

The booklets are delivered in a white cardboard envelope, with an additional postcard included.

Book Release and Artist Talk
Yvette Brackman: Systems and Scenarios

Wednesday November 14th, 5pm

Motto Charlottenborg
Nyhavn 2
Copenhagen

Program:
17.00 Welcome by Motto Charlottenborg
17.10 Artist Talk with Yvette Brackman
17.30 Presentation of the publication with editor Helene Lundbye Petersen and the graphic designers, Peter Folkmar and Lars Bjørnstad from Kontrapunkt

Systems and Scenarios is the first monograph about the Copenhagen based American artist, Yvette Brackman’s work. Her complex and evocative work takes many forms such as installations, sculptures, performances, videos and text. She explores themes such as the interaction between origin and memory; trauma as a result of displacement and alienation in the community; cultural survival and adaptability; design objects and their changing functions, and political systems and their consequences.

The book contains a series of interviews with Brackman, conducted over several months in the fall of 2011 by the independent curator and writer Helene Lundbye Petersen, and a comprehensive essay by Heike Munder, director of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich. Both of these contributions illustrate Brackman’s visual and conceptual approach in detail and examines how she weaves together a wide range of works and topics, from the artist’s own family roots in the Soviet Union, to the indigenous communities in Siberia and how their culture is influenced by global trade .

The book is published by JRP Ringier, 2012.
