From the Gallery website: The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013 is designed by multi award-winning Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. He is the thirteenth and, at 41, youngest architect to accept the invitation to design a temporary structure for the Serpentine Gallery. The most ambitious architectural programme of its kind worldwide, the Serpentine's annual Pavilion commission is one of the most anticipated events on the cultural calendar. Past Pavilions have included designs by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei (2012), Frank Gehry (2008), the late Oscar Niemeyer (2003) and Zaha Hadid, who designed the inaugural structure in 2000. We are thrilled to be working with one of the most fascinating architects in the world today. A visionary, who has conceived an extraordinary response to our invitation to design the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, Sou Fujimoto has designed a structure that will enthral everyone that encounters it throughout the summer. --Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Serpentine Gallery

Part autobiography and part social history: the acclaimed director’s filmmaking process revealed through his private sketchbooks Legendary filmmaker Derek Jarman recorded his life and work in highly detailed sketchbooks. Encompassing both the private and the professional, these offer a personal view into the life and career of a highly influential filmmaker and artist. Drawn from the collection of handmade books that Jarman gave to the British Film Institute shortly before his death in 1994, Derek Jarman’s Sketchbooks showcases the most insightful and beautiful pages. Each of the original volumes is composed of drawings, photographs, and cuttings; pressed flowers are set beside scrawled ideas, and carefully penned poems accompany typed and edited working scripts. These once-private books are an intimate pictorial record of the detailed planning and research and the creative and emotional engagement behind every scene in Jarman’s films.

Marcel Duchamp hat die Ausstellungspraxis zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil seines Werkes gemacht. Kuratorische Gesten und Konzepte, welche die Inszenierung seiner Arbeiten bestimmten und es ihm erlaubten, sich von kanonischen Festlegungen des Künstlertypus zu entfernen; fotografische Dokumentationen und Veröffentlichungen seiner New Yorker Ateliers; Themen, Beiträge und Layoutentwürfe für Kunstmagazine; seine Tätigkeit als Berater, Juror und inszenierender Kurator für Ausstellungen im Kontext des amerikanischen Modernismus, Dada und des Surrealismus; der eminente Einfluss auf wichtige Privatsammlungen seiner Zeit - alle denkbaren Aspekte des Kuratierens, Ausstellens und Sammelns haben im Werk von Duchamp eine qualitativ neue künstlerische Dimension gewonnen. Parallel zu Duchamps dezidierter Distanzierung von gegebenen Strukturen künstlerischen Arbeitens näherte er sich so einer heute durchaus gängigen Vorstellung der kuratorischen Praxis als ästhetisches Medium. Er war, so die zugespitzte These des Symposiums und der hier vorliegenden Publikation, einer der ersten ›Künstler-Kuratoren‹ und hat damit die Rezeption seines eigenen Werkes und die kunsthistorischen Entwicklungen der Ausstellungspraxis entscheidend beeinflusst. Den mehrdeutigen Wahrnehmungsweisen und offenen Deutungsperspektiven seines eigenen Werkes hat Duchamp durch Inszenierung, Reproduktion und Multiplikation seiner und der Arbeit anderer eine neue konzeptuelle Richtung gegeben, mit der sich eine Wende für die zeitgenössische Kunst bestimmen lässt. Prinzipien der Ausstellungspraxis wurden nun zu entscheidenden Faktoren der Werkkonstitution. Der Band versammelt die Beiträge eines Symposiums der Daimler Art Collection (25./26.4.2017) und dürfte die erste substanzielle Publikation zu diesem Thema sein, er versammelt acht Essays ausgewiesener Autorinnen und Autoren, die den Werkstatus der vielfältigen kuratorischen Gesten Duchamps analysieren.
