This publication offers an initial overview of the long-term projects and singular exhibitions that Nemeș produced during her brief but extraordinary career. Fascinated with time, language, and non-linear narrativity, Ioana Nemeș’s practice was predicated on an ongoing and unconstrained process of self-evaluation. On the slippery margins between art and life, the Monthly Evaluations project, realised in different formats and media, is testament to the artist’s willingness to bring into the open her subjective experiences, dialogues, and confrontations with her own context and circumstances. Ioana Nemeș’s artistic environment, with all its strength and fragility, contrasts with a precise, almost surgical survey of the moods, desires, and situations that she experienced from day to day, becoming the basis for her enigmatic scenarios, which take the form of written statements. Ioana Nemeș (Bucharest, 1979 – New York, 2011). Exhibitions: Art in General, New York (2011), Secession, Vienna (2010), Istanbul Biennial (2009); last solo show: Ioana Nemes, “Monthly Evaluations”, Eastside Projects, Birmingham, UK (2014).

The “Other Half” – a term that was coined to describe decolonized countries and urban populations living in informal housing at the time – was the focus of their experiments with alternative building solutions. Beginning with an understanding of how and why the block was made, its actual usage, and its afterlife and going on to examine its archival status and symbolic relevance within architectural historiography, shaped by a paradigm shift in our overall view of 'Habitat', the book shows how the block became both a vessel and vector for the projections and questions explored by the transdisciplinary group of the Bauhaus Lab 2020.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith texts by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMya Berger\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: Curator, Switzerland and Morocco. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLeticia M.

It is a manifesto for a peculiar conviction: that music remains to be discovered, that it is still hidden. That, nonetheless, it does sometimes appear, but most often incompletely and unevenly. And that what we have hitherto referred to as ‘music’ is in fact only a preliminary, a prodrome. That all musics produced up until now have been nothing but simulacra, rituals to call music forth. This may sound crazy, and indeed unwelcome. But the sole concern of the following text will be to make this statement legible, understandable, and perhaps even to some extent acceptable. Its hope is that, setting out from a few intuitions, the possibility of a music to come can be formulated. That this obscure becoming will emerge, one trait at a time; that the shape of this music to come will reveal itself, gradually, by way of a cluster of assumptions, the reading of a multiple history, and the examination of damaging paradigms that have taken music far from itself. That the subjectivity of a writing, with all of its beliefs, its errors, its biases, its injustices and its shaky certainties, may yet manage to cast a singular and inspiring light upon the idea of music—this, ultimately, is the ambition of the lines to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e56 pages, 10.5 x 16.5 cm, softcover, Shelter Press (St Martin).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelter Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41803923030087,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9091\/4631\/files\/IMG_2756_caf0d760-20b1-45f9-a047-20c5e3fb4e69.jpg?v=1752049717"},{"product_id":"empathy-revisited-designs-for-more-than-one","title":"Empathy Revisited: Designs for more than one","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together ideas and projects that seek to define a new role for design based on empathy. As a mediator of emotions and feelings, design is presented here as a practice that takes care as its main purpose. Designers adopt sensitive, diplomatic, sometimes therapeutic functions, with the aim of connecting us with one another but also with the world around us, with other species, with soil, water and even the universe. In this book, the reader will find new ideas, utopian propositions but also practical solutions for reinterpreting and reconnecting with the world around them. Taking food as a key medium of encounter, both between people and also with the more than human world, the designers featured in this book consciously operate in a multi-scalar realm – from the invisible microbial life that lives in our gut to the vast landscapes transformed by agricultural practices.

He continues to be both an inspiring and provocative figure not only for his wide-ranging virtuosity as a linguist, writer, journalist, and film-maker but also on account of the themes that he addressed. In modern-day Europe with all its levelling processes, regulations, and a hypocrisy protected by the code of political correctness, the loss of his voice is keenly felt. Pasolini never simply glorified the ancient ways of isolated regions and decried progress; rather, by adopting both extremes, he created an all-embracing poetics of experimental thinking. Hans Ulrich Reck’s book shows the relevance of his work today: that Pasolini was proved bitterly right in so many things is an expression of his far-sightedness in not reading the hidden signs of his time in terms of 'grand theses' and 'narratives'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e160 pages, 16 x 23cm, softcover, Spector Books (Leipzig).","brand":"Spector Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41803937742919,"sku":null,"price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9091\/4631\/files\/IMG_1353_ff92bad2-3124-4bf8-b1d9-0bd21ef07664.jpg?v=1752050689"},{"product_id":"funken-zu-flammen-artists-research","title":"Funken zu Flammen: Artists Research","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerhaps this book holds a place in a room, or in the text of another book; perhaps it is in the sound of radio tunes, or in the pc-mouse’s clicking through a blog.

This model is borrowed from Scottish initiatives, started a decades earlier. Unique to 126 is its remote positioning to the global art market.

In this book, biogroop curate and speculate upon a collection of first pages of publications from 1829–2020 containing 'What Is Life?' in their titles.
