Selection of texts by Nickel van Duijvenboden. "When I was twenty, I decided to keep a record of the occurences I believed would leave a mark on me. I wrote them down in as few words as possible and preferably on the same day, in an attempt to preserve them from the distortions of memory. This accumulated naturally into a compact archive of incidents in which self-consciousness repeatedly wedges itself into everyday reality." Design: Roger Willems. Cover drawing: Marc Nagtzaam.

Approximately 50 texts - richly illustrated -, published and unpublished, written between 1965 and the present: letters, essays, interviews, articles, facsimiles of illustrated texts, transcripts of talks, and a book-in-progress: Revisioning the Parthenon. The items are of disparate length and tone and cover subjects ranging from optics to orchids, cultural politics to ancient Greek iconography, art theory and philosophy to the mixed pleasures of living in a drafty castle in the Irish countryside. To all these diverse topics Baer brings formidable powers of analysis, rigorous logic, a penchant for provocation, lively wit and an inimitable, exacting use of language - the same ingredients that go into her art.

Series of photographs of abandoned monuments in former Yugoslavia. Willem Jan Neutelings, quoted from this book: "The Antwerp-based photographer Jan Kempenaers undertook a laborious trek through the Balkans in order to photograph a series of these mysterious objects. He captures the Spomeniks in the misty mountain landscape at sundown. Looking at the photographs one must admit to a certain embarrassment. We see the powerful beauty of the monumental sculptures and we catch ourselves forgetting the victims in whose name they were built. This is in no way a reproach to the photographer, but rather attests to the strength of the images. After all, Kempenaers did not set out as a documentary photographer, but first and foremost as an artist seeking to create a new image. An image so powerful that it engulfs the viewer. He allows the viewer to enjoy the melancholy beauty of the Spomeniks, but in so doing, forces us to take a position on a social issue." Design: Roger Willems. ISBN 978 90 77459 50 8

Report of a remarkable art project in the public space. The subtitle of this book is 'Proposal for Permanent Chalk Drawings in the Moscou District of Ghent'. For more than three years Bart Lodewijks was making drawings with blackboard chalk on walls throughout a neighbourhood in the outskirts of Ghent, called Moscou. Slowly, he became a known face in the area and succeeded to get permision to draw on facades and interiors of private homes.

Priè d'insérer (by Louis Lüthi) - The subject of this book is the page, and the pages reproduced in it are taken from works of literature (or, in some cases, art books that derive specifically from literature).
I have chosen to present them thematically, resulting in a typology of self-reflexive pages: Black Pages, Blank Pages, Drawing Pages, Photography Pages, Text Pages, Number Pages, and Punctuation Pages.
The repetition this entails is somewhat deceptive (for a start, the reader will observe the slight but not insignificant differences between the visual and verbal presentations);
in literature, such devises are often used as a counterpoint to what has preceded or what will follow in the narrative.
And the same means may evidently be used to different ends. For these reasons, and because the book attempts only to trace an isolated theme through numerous and often otherwise unrelated works,
the reader is in all instances referred to the original publications, which are listed in the bibliography. ISBN 978 90 77459 47 8

Book with over 160 photographs by Erik van der Weijde of large residential blocks in Brasilia, named Superquadras. Each block, as repeating element in Lucio Costa's master plan for Brazil's new capital, was built within a distinct configuration, with an average of eleven residential buildings raised on pilotis, with a height limit of six floors. Besides 30 of these residential blocks in Brasilia, Van der Weijde also visited a residential complex in Rio de Janeiro, designed by Costa in 1948, which is considered to be forerunner of the Superquadras. Brasilia was inaugurated 50 years ago, on April 21, 1960. Design: Roger Willems and Erik van der Weijde. ISBN 978 90 77459 43 0

Text fragments and photo sequences reflecting the trajectory that Susanne Kriemann pursued in relation to archaeology, the artefact, the image of the individual
at work, and the idea of the desert as a symbol of the modern desire to create an empty slate, a tabula rasa. Material from
Agatha Christies photographic archives is related to photographs by Kriemann of the Syrian desert and archaeological sites in Mesopotamia.
This associative working method allows the artist to dig towards the past and to disassociate the idea of modernity from
ideological connotations, and analyze the writing of recent history as a formal system of organization. With texts by Dieter Roelstraete,
Wim Waelput, Axel John Wieder. Design: Christopher Jung and Tobias Wenig, Berlin (www.jungundwenig.com).

Epilogue: In a seemingly marked-out, hierarchical world which is far more chaotic and uncontrolled than it appears, Michel Francois's essentially sculptural work, which on the contrary is obviously chaotic and subtly framed, is a model of sensual and ideological reconfiguration of the immediate. His delight in forms and games of representation derives from his wonderment at the world's materials, nature, situations or ideas. Despite the sometimes sombre rawness of some references, the artist ultimately sets out to reconcile what are sometimes distant and contradictory fields in the world of art. Highly formal sculpture underpinned by a set of complex theoretical and ideological strata, laying claim to a liberal art, while accepting the slavish share of work. The ideological issues of modernity (the everyday as material, art as a cosa mentale, universality of forms, abstraction, seriality), without ignoring the great issues of classical art (perspective, nature, manual work, metaphor, illusion, trompe-l'oeil). A focus on the world and on the intimate sphere, neutralised by elegant detachment from forms. Representative clarity and simplicity, contrasted with indeterminate perception. In short, acceptance of physical and moral responsibility for the fundamental demands of sculpture, without sacrificing freedom, risk and uncertainty. (Guillaume Desanges)

Story about a project for the KIASMA Museum in Helsinki, Finland, that was canceled two weeks before its realization. It was intended to become an installation of three intersecting Moebius strips 'circling' around the gallery, functioning as a platform to exhibit works of other artists. Finally only a model of this structure was created and photographed with a pinhole camera. On the images, the structure is still visible, but their blurry and foggy atmosphere shows a different universe, closer to the world of dreams and imagination.
The book includes 17 series of photographs, each of them offering a slightly different imaginary walk through the structure, accompanied by fragments of texts by several individuals who inspired the artists while working on the project: Vladimir Odoevsky, Frederick Kiesler, Walter Benjamin, Susan Buck-Morss, Juhani Pallasmaa, Italo Calvino, and Steven Holl. The book also contains a theoretical reflection on the artistic process and experience of cancelling a project.

The booklet starts with a sequence of photographs and reproductions leading to an image of a golden pretzel, depicting a sculpture by Taudin Chabot.
It reads like a reflection on different representational forms of decorum and their flipside within photography.
Unexpectedly the sequence switches to images of clocks, tables, television sets, gambling machines, newspapers and a whole range of devices that are commonly deployed to kill time.
Their origin remains opaque but they indicate a parallel reality that is precarious and clandestine. Edition 600 copies. Made in collaboration with Roger Willems.

An original Swedish Hasselblad camera is the point of departure for One Time One Million. Because the camera dates from 1942, this object launched Kriemann straight back into history.
Kriemann succeeds in pushing the concrete politics that adhere to this object into the background. That gives her room to say much more than she would have had a chance to say in a specifically political context: she can bring clusters together in new images, make new connections, rearrange things, tinker around, and thus arrive at new insights.

A 108-volume book (32,544 pages) containing all existing German words grouped in associative units of five words per page. The three words 'Seelenwanderung', 'Geben', and 'Plastiktüte' from this book have been framed alongside three corresponding photographs. In this way, the words and photographs are guided in their variable meanings. This work is actually endless, since it can continually be expanded with the addition of an infinite number of photographs to each word in the book. Edition 2
The concept of this free local paper is based on the fascination with the fact that objects outside your body – a row of five calculators, for example – can make your brain think 'five'.

The paper reveals a surprising image of the small, picturesque town. The greater part of the photographs show fives found in Hann. Münden, but others were staged, such as the graffiti and the traffic signs arranged in groups of five at night. Edition 100,000
