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. Marianne Mueller The Proper Ornaments Hardcover, 160 pages, 131 full page b/w and color, 7 ¼ × 10 in. € 44.00 | CHF 68.00 | US $ 65.00 ISBN 978-3-905509-72-4 AVAILABLE NOW ANNE-LISE COSTE. Remember
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. Anne-Lise Coste Remember Hardcover, 112 pages 101 drawings, 9 ¼ × 12 ½ in. € 39.00 | CHF 58.00 | US $ 55.00 ISBN 978-3-905509-73-1 AVAILABLE NOW MAX KÜNG. Buch No. 2

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.
