Der Künstler, Autor und Kurator Malašauskas veranstaltet für sein Notizbuch eine schriftliche Séance mit fünf Teilnehmern: der Burlesque-Legende Dixie Evans, dem Künstler Christodoulos Panayiotou, der Literaturwissenschaftlerin Ruth Robbins, der Künstlerin Jessica Warboys und der Tänzerin Hélène Vanel. Am Anfang dieses vielstimmigen, mediumistischen Textes ruft die Schauspielerin Sally Rand an, die sich als Präsident Roosevelt ausgibt, um der schockierten Dixie Evans im Jahre 1962 den Tod von Marilyn Monroe mitzuteilen. Das »Katapult(ieren)« und die »Re-Performance« sind wichtige Schlüsselbegriffe für die neo-burlesque Bewegung in den USA und Europa seit den 1990er Jahren. Alle Gesprächsteilnehmer erzählen über diesen Moment des Wiederaufführens von Kleidung, Körpern und Tropen, bei dem die Erregung durch erotische und soziale Reize Funken sprüht.

"The what-if runs through Raimundas's writing like the Woody Allen runs through Woody Allen--effective and contagious. It's a pull as fervent and wistful as a hot lemon drink sloshing off of words that demand to be experienced. Speakers, objects, subjects, tenses, readers and editors are freed of their conventional roles and move around in their paragraphs like in a piece of music written, say in C Major where they're drifting around in various other keys of course. With as much sovereignty granted to the reader of Paper Exhibition as to all other players in the essays of the book you now hold, the reader has also become the editor. Sixteen in fact. Sixteen readers have been invited to add, comment on, correct and leave their mark boldly in the margins, or way at the back, as another means of carefully replaying these words written by someone else. In this 'book that belongs to no one and is not needed by anyone, ' according to its first author, Raimundas Malasauskas."--Maxine Kopsa Paper Exhibition is an anthology of writings by curator and writer Raimundas Malasauskas published in collaboration with Kunstverein Publishing, Sternberg Press, Sandberg Institute, and The Baltic Notebooks by Anthony Blunt.

After the midst is anything but a report of an arts festival. Both authors created their own stories, in which they allowed small details, fleeting moments and interactions with and among people, objects and performances. All possible ingredients were treated as of equal value. Just as the festival gradually transformed into a Gesamtkunstwerk of blending festive evidence, so this publication unbinds itself from disciplinary or chronological boundaries. Layer after layer, it seeks new interpretations, new possibilities, new connections.

The curators and creators of some of the most influential exhibitions in recent decades talk about their history-making shows In this anthology, seven exhibition makers, including Mary Jane Jacob, Alan W. Moore, Seth Siegelaub, Jennifer Winkworth and others lay out the motivations, conditions, logistics and consequences of shows they organized that now stand as icons of structural innovation in terms of site. These exhibitions treat the museum as a studio (with works realized on-site); appear outside the museum (in the landscape, in domestic spaces, in the street, in the sky); and take the form of publishing or broadcasting (in books, online, on television), dispersing or networking (as mail art, or simultaneous happenings in different cities), or interspersing (interventions in the public sphere). This book gets at the core of their innovations--how the shows came to be, and what they became--and brings out the story and character of exhibitions that have, in many cases, already been written about extensively, while mitigating hagiography and historicization.

When Marcos Lutyens arrived in Kassel in the summer of 2012, he didn't know he would end up staying for the entire 100 days of documenta 13 to perform 340 hypnotic sessions with the audience. Unfolding in the Reflection Room in Kassel's Karlsaue Park, it was the most involved installment of the Hypnotic Show to date--"an exhibition that exists only in the mind of the audience," according to Lutyens's collaborator Raimundas Malasauskas. Lutyens also didn't know that he would write a book about it: Memoirs of a Hypnotist: 100 Days, an intimate and hardly qualifiable document. Here, the artist chronicles the Hypnotic Show and puts together all kinds of improbable experiences for his readers: research of cognition and neurological activity, deep exploration of varying states of consciousness, and, at the center, the possibility for contingency and embodied dematerialization within the current thinking of art.

How does science transform observations into scientific facts? What is the role of interpretation in the construction of knowledge? How could art re-signify a historical process? Such are some of the questions raised in A for Alibi, a book which explores the boundaries of scientific practice and art. In the last few decades, a new branch of historical studies, called "experimental history" has begun to investigate scientific processes from a particular perspective, derived from a "hands-on" methodology. Scientific instruments are utilized and combined to become a direct source that leads to an understanding not just of scientific history but also of scientific practice. Similar to contemporary art practice, the experimental historical approach implies a combination of theory, practice and process, sharing a wider understanding of practice in the construction of meanings. Along these lines, the Uqbar Foundation invited a group of artists to perform research and develop projects using the impressive collection of historical instruments and optical devices housed in the Utrecht University Museum. Fully illustrated, this book documents the artists' projects as well as the A for Alibi symposium where renowned scientists and art historians lectured on the origins of modern visual culture, for instance on the relation between vision and representation in history, or on the ways in which science builds up a common and social image of the world. The book also features illustrations of numerous scientific instruments from the Utrecht University Museum collection. A for Alibi accompanies the same-titled show at de Appel, Amsterdam, July 14-August 19, 2007. Texts by Charlotte Bigg, Erna Fiorentini, Mika Hannula, Raimundas Malasauskas, Katrin Solhdju Contributions by the participating artists Maria Barnas, James Beckett, Mariana Castillo Deball, Sebastian Diaz Morales, Suchan Kinoshita, Irene Kopelman, Tine Melzer, and Brian O'Connell Interview with Tiemen Cocquyt

Curating Context' describes a field where the curatorial practice is extended beyond curating exhibitions into working with entire contexts. It articulates the why and how of curating art projects that gain their meaning in relation to a surrounding context, or which need a specific structure in order to play out. In this practice, curatorial considerations are interwoven with the production, and the intentions of artists and curators lead the way rather than institutional structures. The texts and conversations in this book reflect on how these curatorial methodologies not only situate works in different places, but also transfer curatorial methods into other fields, such as the context of law, urban development, and constructions of the civic. This exciting curatorial approach where each project sets new demands, requires very specific skills rarely taught in curatorial programs. Curating Context is an attempt to share a sustained conversation among practitioners in the field.

"Cellar Door" is a spectacle stretching in time and space. As an exhibition, it is the most ambitious project of French artist Loris Gréaud so far, starting at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and continuing at the ICA London, conceived as musical in progress. As a book, it includes the project's synopsis and musical scores, thus serving as the libretto of this opera of a new genre.
