In von Kaufmanns Serie ”Medea“ werden Heldenfiguren der Antike in die Gegenwart transponiert. Auf seinen ”Nebel“-Bildern wird die Stimmung des Dargestellten kämpferisch und entwicklet sich von andächtigen Porträts zu regelrechten Schlachtengemälden. In seinem Werkzyklus ”Äquator“, einer Serie von neun großformatigen Arbeiten auf Filz, vertieft Ruprecht von Kaufmann seine Auseinandersetzung mit installativen und in den Raum greifenden Arbeiten. Auf schwarzen Filzbahnen entstehen in starkem Schwarz-Weiß-Kontrast in Acryl gemalte Szenen. Schlaglichtartig erscheinen archetypische Anti-Helden vor monochromen Hintergründen, verschatteten Interieurs und labyrinthischen Landschaften. Zwischen den Polen von Hell und Dunkel, Licht und Schatten sowie gut und Böse verstärkt Kaufmann die Dramaturgie seiner Malerei durch massive Eingriffe in den Bildträger. Seine Bilder sind motivisch dicht, spannend und suggestiv. Sei vereinen vor dicht übereinandergelegten Farbschichten vermeintliche Erinnerungssequenzen mit Motiven aus der Literatur- und Kunstgeschichte.

Magical Symbiosis. Ruprecht von Kaufmann's (b. Munich, 1974; lives and works in Berlin) work revolves around the human being in all his facets. A leading narrative painter, von Kaufmann chooses subjects that reflect his critical loyalty to the painting of modernism and visual language as a medium of storytelling. The latter can touch people by conveying powerful emotions: that is the idea behind Kaufmann's portraits, which confront us with vulnerable individuals. After the series of sensitive portraits of refugees published in the book form last year, Kaufmann's new monograph offers an overview of his work of the 2010s. With an essay by Sylvia Volz.

A retrospective on the life and art of this renowned Cuban-American artist, acclaimed for his refined and thought-provoking paintings with fantastical, Surrealist overtones. One of the most important contemporary painters to emerge from Latin America, Julio Larraz (b. 1944, Havana) creates powerful, dreamlike paintings that reflect the influence of painters from Velázquez to Sargent and Hopper, and Surrealist artists like Dalí and Magritte. A unique visionary, Larraz produces work that has been described by some as mind-bending and playful, using a refreshingly wide range of subjects from still life to Cuban cultural imagery, such as bullfights, men in white linen suits, and maritime scenes. He reveals imaginary worlds, with deeply satirical, ambiguous, and multilayered themes, in which he often alludes to political corruption, class structure, and human foibles. This is the largest and most comprehensive book to date, with 200 paintings, 50 works on paper, and 10 sculptures, ranging from the 1960s to the present, accompanied by an essay by David Ebony that situates Larraz’s work within the Latin American painting tradition.

In a crucial shift within posthumanistic media studies, Bernhard Siegert dissolves the concept of media into a network of operations that reproduce, displace, process, and reflect the distinctions fundamental for a given culture. Cultural Techniques aims to forget our traditional understanding of media so as to redefine the concept through something more fundamental than the empiricist study of a medium’s individual or collective uses or of its cultural semantics or aesthetics. Rather, Siegert seeks to relocate media and culture on a level where the distinctions between object and performance, matter and form, human and nonhuman, sign and channel, the symbolic and the real are still in the process of becoming. The result is to turn ontology into a domain of all that is meant in German by the word Kultur. Cultural techniques comprise not only self-referential symbolic practices like reading, writing, counting, or image-making. The analysis of artifacts as cultural techniques emphasizes their ontological status as “in-betweens,” shifting from firstorder to second-order techniques, from the technical to the artistic, from object to sign, from the natural to the cultural, from the operational to the representational. Cultural Techniques ranges from seafaring, drafting, and eating to the production of the sign-signaldistinction in old and new media, to the reproduction of anthropological difference, to the study of trompe-l’oeils, grids, registers, and doors. Throughout, Siegert addresses fundamental questions of how ontological distinctions can be replaced by chains of operations that process those alleged ontological distinctions within the ontic. Grounding posthumanist theory both historically and technically, this book opens up a crucial dialogue between new German media theory and American postcybernetic discourses.

Friedrich Nietzsche’s influence on the development of modern social sciences has not been well documented. This volume reconsiders some of Nietzsche’s writings on economics and the science of state, pioneering a line of research up to now unavailable in English. The authors intend to provoke conversation and inspire research on the role that this much misunderstood philosopher and cultural critic has played – or should play – in the history of economics.

A spectacular book showing life and work of the Finnish icon from an unknown perspective with around 150 illustrations and well researched texts.Tom of Finland has became the most famous and influential Finnish artist of the 20th century. Born Touko Laaksonen in 1920, his iconic depiction of self-confident and life-affirming gayness gave decisive impulses to the international gay movements from the 1960s onwards. But although we clearly associate his portrayals of sensual and powerful cowboys, farm hands, soldiers and leathermen with the USA, Tom of Finland's rise to gay icon received the game-changing impetus neither in his native Finland nor in the USA. It was, of all places, the city of Hamburg and Tom's friendship with key exponents of the local gay scene in the early 1970s that helped him to his first exhibition ever.He even created a grand mural for the legendary "Tom's Bar", until today the only one legitimately named after him. Regular commissions to design posters and ads for gay events in Hamburg allowed him to launch his artistic career after quitting his day job as advertising executive, and led to the creation of the most extensive private collection of his drawings to date. Galerie Judin is now devoting an exhibition and a comprehensive publication to these seminal, but thus far little researched years, the art they generated and the friendships they formed. The book includes texts by Juerg Judin, Pay Matthis Karstens, Kati Mustola and Alice Delage, conversations with Durk Dehner and Michael P. Hartleben - and a facsimile of the artist's German travel diary from 1955.
