ROTHSTAUFFENBERG. Based On a True Story
 
New.
 
RothStauffenberg’s work encompasses the realm of film. Mostly their works are real film sets, only visible through a window, in which light, tone, and music, morph. As in time compressed films, however, without actors and without plot.

RothStauffenberg discuss these fictions with the North Korean born film director Shin Jun-chul. 70-year old Shin now lives in Mosambique, where he moved to after independency rolled in, in 1977, to help build a new cinema there. RothStauffenberg held a masked ball in the Grande Hotel in Beira, Mosambique 2007, and made a movie. Once, “the Pride of Africa”, now over 3000 people live there without electricity or running water. The book shows the work of RothStauffenberg, tries, however, to also portray the work of Shin Jun-chul. The conversation is about authenticity, dictators, about sex, about disappearance, and it is about fiction as language.

MARIANNE MUELLER. The Proper Ornaments
 



 
With texts by Bice Curiger, Martin Jaeggi, Marianne Mueller in German and English.

The camera is the medium through which Marianne Mueller observes self and world, at home and on trips, day and night. This was her starting point for The Proper Ornaments, an art book that simultaneously displays the last twelve years of her work. The book combines her clever body images and observations of the ubiquitous beauty of the allegedly mundane to become a dionysic shadowy world, something beyond reason and norm.

ANNE-LISE COSTE. Remember
 
With a text by Ulrich Loock in English and German.

For years Anne-Lise Coste has explored the dialog between art and language. In her large-formatted drawings that were all created in the summer 2005 and that now for the first time are displayed as a complete work, she also oscillates between text and image. Ductile and yet with a certain urgency and rawness the fat paintbrush is guided across the paper. Diary notes,
thoughts and feelings, receive in her almost heroic exactness an unadorned, open, character. Graffi ti and the art of calligraphy reverberate with the same frequency.

CHRISTOPH HÄNSLI. Mortadella
 
With a text by John Berger in English, German, Italian.

Meticulously Christoph Hänsli paints and works his way through 166 slices of a whole cut Mortadella, and not only that but each piece from front and back. In the end there are 332 paintings. Actually now everything would be covered. Not, however, that this sausage-sliced-world creates an almost hypnotic universe between meditative Mortadella Mandalas and the slow changing tenderpink
constella tions. An ontological approach to the being of a sausage. The re nowned, British, art critic, John Berger has for the second time written an exclusive text examining Hänsli’s work.
