Tyler Coburn - Richard Roe


Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956794643 Acqn 29410
Pb 11x18cm 72pp 10col ills £15.95

Richard Roe is the fictional memoir of a legal person. The name is one of the oldest used in
English law when the real name of someone is withheld, or when a corpse can't be identified.
Richard Roe is a known unknown, a one-size-fits-all, a potentially everyone and actually no one.

Divided into seven fragmentary sections, this memoir gives voice to the legal fictions that creep
around the margins of selfhood-and that increasingly dictate the terms of economic and political
process. It draws on numerous concepts of personhood from legal, psychological, linguistic, and
metaphysical realms, including Ancient Roman juridical theory; Medieval writings on materialism;
and arguments, of the last two centuries, for the legal personhood of corporations, rivers, and
other elements of the natural world.

Erik Niedling with Ingo Niermann - Burial of the White Man


Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956794261 Acqn 29439
Pb 13x19cm 280pp 81ills £16.50

Burial of the White Man is a bildungsroman about the friendship between artist Erik Niedling and
writer Ingo Niermann. While in their thirties, they begin collaborating on a series of projects of
ever-increasing ambition and scope: a tomb for all humans, a dissident replica of the U.S. Army,
a German-Mozambican liberation movement, a ritual of living one year like it's your last, a
transformation of the oldest and most troubled German political party, a global fitness cult _ Each
failure is answered with an even more outrageous endeavor-culminating in the burial not only of
themselves, but of the entire subspecies of the white man.

Burial of the White Man is an auto-fiction by Erik Niedling, interpolated by manifestos and
proposals by Ingo Niermann and expanded by Austrian-American poet Ann Cotten and German
novelist Jakob Nolte. The third volume of the Future of Art series, the book accompanies Erik
Niedling's web series, Pyramid Mountain: A Video Diary.

The Day I Am Free - Lawen Mohtadi. And Katerina Taikon – Katitzi


Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956793639 Acqn 29477
Pb 14x21cm 328pp 20col ills £18.95

Edited by Lawen Mohtadi, Maria Lind


Introduction by Maria Lind

Katarina Taikon was an epoch-changing activist, prolific writer, and countercultural icon in
Sweden. Her activist work brought her face-to-face with the most marginalized communities in
society as well as prime ministers. Her writing defined the Roma struggle for equal rights and
made accessible anti-racist narratives in children's literature. Active from the early 1960s through
the 1970s, Taikon faced a Sweden in which the Roma minority was heavily discriminated against.
They were excluded from housing, the education system, and the rights of citizenship that the
welfare state provided.

This book tells the story of Taikon's life in three parts. The first is a 2012 biography by journalist
Lawen Mohtadi. The second is Taikon in her own words: the first volume of her autobiographical
children's book series, Katitzi. In Katitzi, a fierce coming-of-age story, Taikon writes about her
struggle as part of an ethnic minority in Sweden. The final section is an essay written by curator
Maria Lind that articulates the cultural impact of Katitzi.

Mohtadi's biography brought renewed attention to Taikon's literary and activist work and created
a cultural reckoning that named Taikon one of the most important Swedish human-rights figures
of the twentieth century. This volume aims to introduce Taikon's work and legacy to readers
beyond Sweden.

Fogo Island Arts - What Do We Know, What Do We Have, What do We Miss, What do We
Love? Jahresring 65
Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956794735 Acqn 29478
Pb 17x24cm 240pp 100ills 50col £21.50

Texts by Fabrizio Gallanti, Bruce Mau, Alexandra McIntosh, Chantal Pontbriand, Nicolaus
Schafhausen, Monika Szewczyk; conversations between Zita Cobb and Liam Gillick; Brigitte
Oetker, Helke Bayrle, and Thomas Bayrle; Silke Otto-Knapp and Janice Kerbel; Willem de Rooij
and Kitty Scott; Todd Saunders and Roger Bundschuh

Around the world, place-based projects are drawing increasing attention to the pillars of art,
design, and economics as important players in the development and redevelopment of the so-
called periphery. This publication poses the question: How plausible and effective are these
ventures?

Jahresring 65 is specific to Fogo Island, an island of approximately 2,500 inhabitants located off
the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. A centuries-old cod-fishing settlement, the community's
livelihood was almost devastated in the mid-twentieth century due to industrial overfishing. The
island is now experiencing profound social, economic, and cultural transformation, due in part to a
recent series of art, social, business, and asset-based community development initiatives. Now,
Fogo Island stands as an example of the potential (but also the contradictions) of contemporary
alliances between art, design, and social entrepreneurship.

The English edition includes artist contributions by Abbas Akhavan, Assemble, Brenda Draney,
Ieva Epnere, Leon Kahane, Zac Langdon-Pole, and Kate Newby, all of whom have first-hand
experience of Fogo Island as FIA artists-in-residence or as visiting researchers.

John C. Welchman - After the Wagnerian Bouillabaisse Essays on European Avant-Garde


Art XX-XXI Vol. 2
Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956791017 Acqn 29481
Pb 16x22cm 384pp 35ills 11col £20.50

The ten essays in After the Wagnerian Bouillabaisse offer original critical discussions of some of
the major European artists and movements of the twentieth century. Borrowing its title from
Tristan Tzara's description of the Gesamtkunstwerk, John C. Welchman's compelling study
begins with a reassessment of Italian Futurism and the unique and disruptively consequential
compounding of words and images in Dada and Surrealism. Other chapters cover the production,
and circumvention, of affect in the work of Henri Matisse and Fernand Leger; the delirious splits
and metaphorical ricochets fired up by Salvador Dali; and the social and philosophical ideas
mobilized by Rene Magritte. The second half of the volume examines mid- and late-twentieth
century artists, comprising a revisionist assessment of Hans Hartung; an analysis of the
"turbulent" abstraction of Antoni Tapies; a deliberation on "whiteness" in the practice and thinking
of Gunter Brus; and an exploration of postwar exchanges between the United States and the
United Kingdom about sculpture. The book concludes with an essay on the relations between
writing and seeing in the work of Swiss artist Remy Zaugg.

This volume is the second in XX-XXI, Welchman's two-part series on European art from this and
the last century, which will be followed by a series on West Coast artists and one on the work of
Mike Kelley.

Productive Universals - Specific Situations


Sternberg Press 2019 ISBN 9783956793011 Acqn 29483
Pb 15x21cm 448pp 109ills 82col £21.50

Contributions by Ursula Biemann, Ariane Varela Braga, Gaia Caramellino, Manuel Shvartzberg
Carrio, Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll, Johan F. Hartle, Samia Henni, Christa Kamleithner, Anne
Kockelkorn, Filippo De Pieri, Katarzyna Ruchel-Stockmans, Emily E. Scott, Laila Seewang, Alla
Vronskaya, Andrew Stefan Weiner, Nina Zschocke

In today's increasingly digitalized and neoliberal societies, debates on universals and specifics
have gained new momentum. This volume situates the contemporary return to universal claims
and concepts in the fields of art, architecture, and urbanism, and highlights the interrelation of the
specific and the universal in diverse historical situations from the nineteenth century to the
present. The collection's essays thus venture an epistemic shift of the concept of universality:
from essence to modality, from the abstract and static to the performative and productive.
