Cities Contested
Die 1970er-Jahre gelten in der deutschen Zeitgeschichte als Epoche eines tief greifenden sozialen Wandels, eines "Strukturbruchs " im Übergang von der Industriemoderne zur postfordistischen Gesellschaft. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes widmen sich diesem Jahrzehnt erstmals aus einer stadthistorischen Perspektive und stellen dabei Entwicklungen in Westdeutschland und Italien einander gegenüber. In Fallstudien zu Städten vom Ruhrgebiet bis Sizilien wird untersucht, wie sich die Umbrüche dieser Zeit im Brennpunkt von städtischem Raum und städtischer Gesellschaft verdichten, als "urbane Krise" wahrgenommen und verhandelt werden und sich in Konflikten in der städtischen Politik sowie Kämpfen in und um die Stadt manifestieren.

Zones of Tradition - Places of Identity
Gerhard Vinken takes readers to twelve cities on three continents and analyses the diverse and contradictory heritage formations that have had a lasting impact on urban life. The vitality of urban heritage, as these vivid and in-depth case studies show, lies in the dynamic and often conflictual processes of social appropriation and interpretation.
Heidi Specker - Fotografin
Heidi Specker became known in the mid-1990s through the 'Speckergruppen' (Specker Groups) in 1995/96 and other work series, which focused quite literally on concrete structures in an anticipation of the reappraisal of post-War architecture. Specker is also one of the pioneers of digital photography.One thing almost all her works have in common: by examining them through the eye of the camera they serve as a visual artistic exploration of historical works and circumstances. In addition, Heidi Specker's images are also always a reflection of photography as a medium and its reception.Heidi Specker lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig. Her projects have been presented in numerous solo shows, for example 2005 in the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, 2015 in Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich and Berlinische Galerie, 2016.This title and the accompanying exhibition in Kunstmuseum Bonn offers the first comprehensive survey of Heidi Specker's work and assembles important bodies of work from the last 20 years.Published on the occasion pf the exhibition, Heidi Specker: Fotografin at Kunstmuseum Bonn (22 February - 27 May 2018).English and German text.
Sculpture Projects Muenster 07
Been to enough biennials? Skulptur Projekte Münster only happens every 10 years. This, its fourth iteration (following 1977, 1987 and 1997), invites artists from all over the world--many of whom are returning to the city and the event--to create new site-specific works. Thus Michael Asher brings back his trailer and parks in sites he first sussed out in 1977, continuing to explore the conflicts between rigid form and mobile space, and to document the dramatic transformation of the urban environment over four decades. Guy Ben-Ner equips bicycles with screens and places them around the city; by pedaling, participants control the speed and direction of a film of the artist doing the same. Guil...
The Low Countries at the Crossroads
This book focuses on the diffusion of architectural inventions from the Low Countries to other parts of Europe from the late fifteenth until the end of the seventeenth century. Multiple pathways connected the architecture of the Low Countries with the world, but a coherent analysis of the phenomenon is still missing. Written by an international team of specialists, the book offers case-studies illustrating various mechanisms of transmission, such as the migration of building masters and sculptors who worked as architects abroad, networks of foreign patrons inviting Netherlandish artists, printed models and the role of foreign architects who visited the Low Countries for professional reasons. Its geographical scope is as broad as the period under review and includes all European regions where Netherlandish elements were found: from Spain to Scandinavia and from Scotland to Transylvania.
