    Christine Fenzl

    In this volume of photographs the photographer Christine Fenzl investigates the living conditions of young people in the peripheral areas of Berlin: Hellersdorf, Hohenschönhausen, Lichtenberg, and Marzahn. Although the Berlin Wall once strongly influenced their parents’ living environment, the generation born after the collapse can no longer imagine what it was like. In her sensitive pictures Fenzl traces the stories of these youth, their expectations, and their confrontation with Berlin. Fenzl has already examined the subject of youth and their social circumstances in previous series, such as Striking Chance – Streetfootball, for which she photographed children playing soccer in Nairobi, Skopje, London, and the favelas of São Paulo.

    CHRISTINE FENZL (*1967, Munich) attended the Munich Fotoschule and spent two years living and working in New York City. Her photography has been featured in Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Stern, The New York Sunday Times, and other publications, and has been exhibited internationally. Fenzl has lived in Berlin since 1992.

    The Special Edition with an inserted original print is limited to 20 copies.

    Alive
    Life takes many forms and is intricately interwoven. This book uses objects, stories, and artworks to illustrate the coexistence of different beings and worlds. It shows that the living environment is experienced vividly and actively in many regions of the world: mountains and rivers are not just resources or backdrops, but powerful sources of life; plants and animals are not merely food, but companions; ancestors and spirits influence daily life. Understood in this way, local perspectives and alternative forms of coexistence offer paths to shared futures. A diverse group of international authors tells stories of the interwoven nature of life, inviting us, with empathy and insight, to reconsider and re-establish our relationships with the living world around us.

  • Schwarz-weißes Buchcover mit dem Titel Birds of the West Indies von Taryn Simon in einer minimalistischen Art-Deco-Schrift.
    Bestseller
    Taryn Simon

    In 1936, an ornithologist called James Bond released the definitive taxonomy of birds found in the Caribbean, titled Birds of the West Indies. Ian Fleming, an active bird watcher living in Jamaica, subsequently appropriated the name for his novel’s lead character. He found it to be perfectly “ordinary”, “brief”, “Anglo-Saxon” and “masculine”. This co-opting of names was the first replacement in a series of substitutions that would become central to the construction of the Bond narrative. In a meticulous and comprehensive dissection of the Bond films, artist Taryn Simon (*1975 in New York) inventoried women, weapons and vehicles in Bond. The contents of these categories function as essential accessories to the narrative’s myth of the seductive, powerful, and invincible western male. In Birds of the West Indies, Simon presents a visual database of interchangeable variables used in the production of fantasy, through which she examines the economic and emotional value generated by their repetition.

    Aliza Nisenbaum

    With her refined sense of political and social contexts, the contemporary painter Aliza Nisenbaum focuses on her colorful portraits of socially and politically underrepresented groups. For example, she portrayed undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America, whom she first met while teaching English. Her approach comprises very personal explorations of the people she portrays; she visits them at home, meets their families, and cooks for them. This close relationship—the collaboration between painter and model—results in paintings whose unusual intimacy and expressive power are captivating. The first monograph about this promising artist now provides a comprehensive overview of her work from the most recent decade.

    Aliza Nisenbaum (*1977, Mexico City) studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2017 she took part in the Whitney Biennial and showed her work at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. She lives in New York City.

    Alice Neel

    The American artist Alice Neel (1900–1984) is acknowledged as one of the most important figurative painters in the history of American art in the twentieth century. Operating during a period of revolutionary abstraction, she took her own radical position by adopting a particular, idiosyncratic formal language, but always keeping an aim towards establishing “the truth” in her psychologically penetrating paintings. Neel portrays the anxieties and frailties of the human race in a period of unprecedented political, social and technological change.

    The exhibition catalogue presents around seventy paintings. The authors review Alice Neel’s artistic development over approximately sixty years, and set out the history of her oeuvre's reception, her relationship to twentieth century photography, her position in relation to second-wave feminism and her personal interest in early twentieth century European art. This survey conveys Neel's fresh impression of America at a time of cultural and artistic transition.
