Inner Planets.
Cameron Jamie. Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König.

Cameron Jamie has been working with different medias such as drawing, sculpture, film, photography, performance, music and painting. For over two decades one recurring theme in his work is the mask. The work “Inner Planets” is a group of 43 handcrafted masks sculpted in clay. The artist connotes it with the multilayered paradox of the mask. In so doing he sets in motion an interplay between inside and out, between being and seeming, between what is our own and what is of others. The publication shows the work of art in all its facettes including installation shots of its presentation at the Palmenhaus des Alten Botanischen Gartens in Zurich. The book is designed by the artist himself.

Cameron Jamie arbeitet mit unterschiedlichen Medien wie Zeichnung, Skulptur, Film, Photographie, Performance, Musik und Malerei. Das Werk “Inner Planets” ist ein Ensemble von 43 Masken, die er aus Tonerde geformt hat. Der Künstler konnotiert das Werk mit der vielschichtigen Paradoxie der Maske. Dadurch setzt er das Spiel zwischen Innen und Außen, von Sein und Schein, vom Eigenen und Anderen usw. in Gang. Die Publikation zeigt das Werk in allen seinen Facetten inklusive Installationsphotos der Ausstellung im Palmenhaus des Alten Botanischen Gartens in Zürich und wurde vom Künstler selbst gestaltet.

Preface by Doval Holt
Design by Nuno de Luz

This publication accompanies the exhibition with the same title by Isabel Carvalho at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. 22nd Aug – 22nd Sept 2013

The element of air is a propelling agent for movement or change. Carvalho applies this notion metaphorically, aligning the dynamics of wind to the relations/tensions between community and personal subjectivity; and inhalation/exhalation as akin to expression/communication between inner and outer space.

Punk’s Dead. Simon Barker, Six. Divus.

In 1976, when I moved into the St. James Hotel in London, I bought myself one of the cheapest pocket cameras available. Fully automatic, with no controls or settings, it just required a simple slot-in film cartridge. An idiot could use it – and I did.
I knew I didn’t want to be like other photographers, so I chose never to take a black and white photograph or focus the camera. Subconsciously I concentrated on the women and artists at the heart of what would later be known as ‘punk’ in London.
Women such as JORDAN, SIOUXSIE, DEBBIE JUVENILE, TRACIE O’KEEFE, ARI UP, POLY STYRENE and NICO
Artists and writers such as MALCOLM MCLAREN, HELEN WELLINGTON-LLOYD aka HELEN OF TROY, BERTIE MARSHALL aka BERLIN and DEREK JARMAN.
The book PUNK’S DEAD is a product of that camera and those times – my family album covering the years 1976 to 78. The photos you see in it were all unplanned, spur of the moment shots taken by myself for myself and, up until now, with never a thought given to publication. In over thirty years, they have only been seen by a handful of close friends. I used to think they weren’t good enough to show people. Now I think they are almost too good.
-SIX aka SIMON BARKER

»nicht jetzt!« #4. Studierende des Department Design der HAW Hamburg.

»nicht jetzt!« wird von Studierenden des Departments Design der HAW Hamburg geschrieben, fotografiert, illustriert und gestaltet. Nach den preisgekrönten Heften »Kinder«, »Geld« und »Geschmack« beschäftigt sich die vierte monothematische Ausgabe mit dem »Teilen«. Das Thema war gleichzeitig Arbeitsmodus der Redaktion, die von Prof. Stefan Stefanescu betreut wird: Im Selbstversuch begann sie mit Teilhabe an fast allen Arbeitsprozessen und endete in Arbeitsteilung.

Das deutsche Wort »Teilen« beinhaltet zwei sehr unterschiedliche Bedeutungen, die das 168-seitige Doppelheft in die Themen »share« und »split« teilen. Unter »share« findet sich etwa ein Gemeinschafts-Interview mit Designer-Kollektiven. Es geht aber auch um Orte, an denen Sexualpartner oder Zärtlichkeiten geteilt werden. Um den Begriff »split« kreist das zweite Heft mit Beiträgen über Elitenbildung durch Samen-Banking, über den Alltag in der religiös geteilten Stadt Sarajevo und über den einer »Banane«, wie Deutsch-Chinesen in China genannt werden.

Die Titelseiten der Hefte, 784 unterschiedliche und nummerierte Einzelstücke, ergeben zusammen¬gesetzt ein knapp 60 Quadratmeter großes Bild, das eine embryonale Zellteilung zeigt. Zur Release-Party am 9. Juli im Hamburger »Island« wurde dieses Bild in Gänze präsentiert, bevor seine Einzelteile in den Verkauf gingen.

Gestaltung: Studierende des Department Design der HAW Hamburg unter Betreuung von Prof. Stefan Stefanescu: Teresa Baier, Jasmin Baltres, Jennifer David, Fabian Greve, Søren Koswig, Janina Lentföhr, Dom Odenkirchen, Anne Stiefel, Simon Weize, Jana Blumendeller, Merle Düpmeier, Justus Düsenberg, Christina Gnatzy, Peter Kaden, Ines Könitz, Lara Kothe, Hanna Osen

Jenny Jenny. Tobias Zielony. Spector Books.

Mit Texten von / With texts by: Ulrich Domröse, Maren Lübbke-Tidow, Vanessa Joan Müller

Tobias Zielonys aktuelle Fotoserie begann mit einer Zufallsbegegnung: Ein spontanes Gespräch mit einem jungen Paar in der Berliner U-Bahn und Zielonys Vorschlag, beide einmal zu fotografieren. Am nächsten U-Bahnhof entstehen einige schnelle Fotos auf dem Bahnsteig. Sie sei immer hier, sagt sie, er könne gerne wiederkommen für weitere Aufnahmen. „Hierher?“ — „Zum Straßenstrich, hier um die Ecke!“ Man verabredet sich also, Zielony porträtiert erst sie, später ihre Kolleginnen und Freundinnen. So entsteht die 40-teilige Fotoserie „Jenny Jenny“. Sie ist keine Dokumentation. Tobias Zielony unterläuft die journalistische Sehnsucht nach Eindeutigkeit und Gewissheit, denn die Frage nach der Authentizität des Subjekts scheint für ihn ebenso entschieden wie die Frage nach der Objektivität des Dokumentarbildes: Beide sind niemals frei von Inszenierung. Das Buch erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung „Tobias Zielony: Jenny Jenny“ in der Berlinischen Galerie.

Tobias Zielony’s recent photo series started with a chance encounter. A conversation with a young couple on a Berlin subway train led Zielony to suggest to photograph them. At the next stop they took a few quick shots on the platform. She told him that she could always be found around here, and he could come back anytime to take more pictures. “Here?” — “I walk the street, right around the corner!” They meet again, Zielony first portrays her and then also her fellow prostitutes and friends. The result is the 40 part series “Jenny Jenny”. It is not documentary: Tobias Zielony avoids the journalistic impetus for certainty and truth. To him, the authenticity of the subject is as relevant as the question of the objectivity of the documentary image: both are never free of dramatic elements. The book is published on occasion of the exhibition “Tobias Zielony: Jenny Jenny” in the Berlinischen Galerie.

Traditional Music Of Notional Species_motto_1

Traditional Music Of Notional Species Vol. I. Rashad Becker. PAN Recordings.

*Pressed on 140g vinyl, packaged in a pro-press color jacket and a silkscreened pvc sleeve* At long last PAN present the radical, revelatory debut album of sonic fictions by peerless mastering engineer, sound artist and composer, Rashad Becker. Via his day job as a cutting engineer at Berlin’s Dubplates & Mastering and his post-production studio, Clunk, the Syrian-born German-raised autodidact has in some respects contributed more to the shape and timbre of contemporary electronic and avant-garde music than anyone else. He’s blessed with a heightened sensitivity to frequency and a love of bass and subbass which has no doubt enhanced hundreds of recordings and provided him an invaluable, hawk-like view of modern sonic aesthetics. With this in mind, the inspired architecture, dynamics and feel of ‘Traditional Music Of Notional Species’ can be heard as a deliberate and hyper-conscious bypassing of staid conventions in melody, harmony and meter, searching out and inhabiting the microtonal spaces between sounds with an in-depth understanding of their complex relationships and structures. Yet, far from being an avant-garde academic exercise, it provides a breathtaking richness of ambiguous human expression and emotional triggers, albeit from the periphery of human experience. His multi-tiered layers of oily quacks, slyding tones, convulsive spurts and spatial displacements present an embarrassment of fictional sonic capital, setting out a new and idiosyncratic grammar of computer music language with an inimitably exotic ancient-futuristic accent. For us it’s something close to a waking dream rendered in sound, it’s sincerely one of the most phantastical, far out records we’ve heard in a while, at once lending a gridless, human/alien aspect to the harsher sounds of say, Florian Hecker or Andre Vida, with the guile and unswerving, syncretic avant-folk vision of Ghedalia Tazartes and even the soured sensation of Korean classical music. It’s one of the boldest musical statements on PAN yet, and, if like us you crave genuinely new sonic thrills, this album is an absolute must.
