Hat & Beard The Lumpen Times
Book SynopsisA deep archive of the secret histories of Chicago''s countercultural milieus over 30 years of community and artistic engagement. Way back in 1991, a freely-circulated zine called The Lumpen Times was born in Champaign, Illinois. The creators would go on to relaunch it in Chicago in 1993. Over time, the underground magazine would lead to building a Community of the Future. Through the certainty of chance, collective engagement, casual encounters, and accidental actions, The Lumpen Times became the hub for a series of cultural platforms spawning hundreds of projects, spaces, happenings, exhibitions, and initiatives. Some were short-lived, but each project fueled a new one in its wake. As an example, they started a record label, which spawned other publications. Other projects include engaging in dot-communism, opening community art spaces, hosting international art and activism festivals, and producing thousands of exhibitions and events. They also built an FM radio station, opened a bar, restaurants, launched a brewery, built another beverage company, created an artists'' retail shop, and started community kitchens. This range of passions has become an interconnected and deeply inclusive set of ventures now called The Buddy System. The Lumpen Times: 30+ Years of Radical Media and Building Communities of the Future shares stories from a few dozen of the thousands of Lumpen collaborators over the years. It contains a visual survey of the printed matter they produced over the past three decades, illustrating the evolution of the xeroxed-and-stapled zine into an internationally recognised cultural periodical. The book is also a catalogue of strategies, highlighting dozens of ''case studies'' demonstrating how artists, activists, educators, and creative entrepreneurs of all stripes have built community and culture in their beloved city of Chicago via the printed word, physical spaces, and over the airwaves and digital networks. Each study includes the reason it started, examples of its production, and the reasons it failed, mutated, or continues to this day.

Hatje Cantz E. W. Nay (German Edition): Werkverzeichnis der
Book SynopsisThe three-volume catalogue raisonné of the works on paper by E. W. Nay (1902–1968) will provide art historians, art dealers, and every art lover a long-awaited chance to survey Nay’s oeuvre and gain an understanding of his art.With more than six thousand watercolors, gouaches, and drawings, Nay’s works on paper far outnumber his oil paintings. He was an indefatigable artist who persistently put down his ideas of form and color on paper. The sheets embody - so to speak - his work journal and allow the reader to draw conclusions about his methods of artistic approach. Whereas on one hand they document the processes behind his artistic research and activities, the works on paper at the same time are autonomous creations. They impressively elucidate the artist’s ambition and development.

Hatje Cantz Maria Sibylla Merian (German Edition): Künstlerin
Book SynopsisAt the young age of thirteen, Maria Sibylla Merian had already begun her systematic entomological research with a study of the silk worm, a description of which opens her second book, entitled Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung ...(The Caterpillar's Wondrous Metamorphosi...). Motivated by reports on the flora and fauna of Surinam published by missionaries of the pietistic Labadist church, which she joined in 1685, she undertook a perilous journey to the tropics. Following her return home, she had her insect studies - life-sized drawings of insects on parchment - engraved in copper, adding descriptions of each species and its habitat. Four editions of these large-format engravings were published between 1719 and 1771. The epochal accomplishment of the painter, engraver and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian is to be found in the artistic perfection of her presentation of the results of meticulous entomological research, decades before the appearance of Linné's Systema Naturae in 1735.Following the seminal studies by Elisabeth Rücker, this publication is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Maria Sibylla Merian. It focuses not only on her artistic and scientific achievements but on her role as a publisher and entrepreneur as well. New material on the life and work of this extraordinary artist is provided in the form of unpublished letters and 40 previously unpublished water-colors from her St. Petersburg sketchbook.

Hatje Cantz Brigitte Lustenberger: An Apparition of Memory
Book SynopsisThe beauty and tenderness of withering and decay In this gorgeous book, Brigitte Lustenberger explores the passing of time, memory and the fragility of life. She transforms flowers dried on glass used for photographic slides into delicate photographs. Celebrating the beauty of decay, Lustenberger leads us into a fascinating world of withered flowers. Her images reveal the incredible details of nature’s ingenious constructions. The artist manages to combine both the fleetingness of a drawing made with light and the preservation of a photograph. Four essays by renowned curators provide insight into the artist’s process-oriented working method, the interweaving of analogue and digital technology in her practice, and contextualize An Apparition of Memory within Western and Japanese photographic and art history.
