This richly illustrated book considers the dazzling oeuvre of choreographer and dancer Marlene Monteiro Freitas. In line with her creative methodology, Alexandra Balona unfolds an “atlas of affects” through five emblematic dance pieces that reveal the intensity, humor, and humanity of one of today’s most radical choreographic voices.
Invited to present an exhibition at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu has developed an innovative approach to museum space, challenging hierarchy, permanence, and fixed meanings. With in-depth essays and a rich selection of illustrations, this catalog retraces that exhibition and explores the themes and concerns that have long characterized the artist’s practice.

A visual notebook of the screenshots taken by Yngve Holen over the past five years or so, 6G—the anticipated next phase of network technology—is a peculiarly sized artist’s book, a glossy non-linear agglomeration that reflects the intersections of production, life, and digital debris.
Conceived as a visual résumé, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Posenenske’s solo exhibitions and a record of her numerous group shows. Featuring an essay by curator Erlend Hammer on the role of documentary photographs in the circulation of works of art, it was published in conjunction with the eponymous show at the Haugar Art Museum in Tønsberg.

The House of One is a bold proposal by three local communities to build a house of prayer and learning for Jews, Christians, and Muslims in central Berlin. The design, which was the result of an international competition won by architects Kuehn Malvezzi in 2012, is to be built on the existing foundations of St. Petri Church, the first documented site in Berlin’s history. The concept of the House of One is based on dialogue and an understanding of other faiths. As well as being a place of worship, it will be an educational center open to everyone. The sequence of spaces follows the principle of multiplicity within unity and heterogeneity within a single building. Although their rituals are different, coming together around a central hall in one building aspires to the universal.
The dynamic relationship between the specific and the universal informs its architecture as a hybrid monument. Since 2012, the project has attracted considerable interest due to its uniqueness and complexity. It has been featured in numerous international exhibitions, including the Chicago Biennial and the Venice Biennale. A wooden model of the House of One is included in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. This book traces the project’s development to the present day and includes details of exhibitions, articles, and contributions from artists who have interpreted the House of One through videos, photographs, and performances.
