In unserer neuen Interviewreihe stellen wir euch die Illustrator*innen und Autor*innen unserer Kinderbücher vor und erfahren von ihnen, wie sie arbeiten, wie sie au ihre Ideen kommen und vieles mehr.

In einer gemütlichen Umgebung am Tempelhofer Feld mit Blumen, Bienen und ab und zu einem Flugzeug, das über unsere Köpfe schwebt, kommen wir einfach mal ins Gespräch.

Diesmal hat sich für uns Zeit genommen. Der Comic Zeichner und Illustrator hat gerade sein Buch “Mein allerliebstes Zuhause” bei uns veröffentlicht.

Darin spielt er mit dem Gedanken, was wäre, wenn man auf der Flucht sein Haus einfach mitnehmen könnte. Wer ihn dazu inspiriert hat und vieles mehr erfahrt ihr am besten direkt von ihm.

Mit welcher Illustratorin oder welchem Illustrator wünscht ihr euch noch ein Gespräch?
Schreibt es gerne in die Kommentare!



In our new series we introduce you to the illustrators of our children’s books and hear from them about how they work, how they first came up with the idea to do what they do, and much more.

In a cozy setting at Tempelhofer Feld, surrounded by flowers, bees, and the occasional airplane flying overhead, we simply strike up a conversation.

As we publish the children’s book only in German, unfortunately this interview series is being held in German only.

What is architecture but a offer to be in the world?

“Some Kind. Any Kind” is a bifurcated journey through fifteen years of the architecture practice .eu , designed as a „dream state“ inner dialogue between “Some Kind of Romance” and “Any Kind of Existence”: mirrored reflections of past and future projects that reflects the practice’s work and exploring path from Porto to the world.

Read together, these two parts are less about buildings than about a way of being in the world, offering an open narrative where architecture is presented as if in a chronicle, a journal.

In Albania, it traces a transformative engagement with urban regeneration and identity reconstruction in a context of rapid urban change.
In Portugal, it explores continuity through both rehabilitation and new construction, treating time, heritage, and landscape as active materials.

Together, these two dimensions reveal a practice shaped by persistence and risk, belonging and transformation, grounded in place yet open to reinvention.

Who does art and culture belong to? How can art help restitution of cultural heritage?

Our new catalogue “Tide of Returns”, available end of May and accompanying the exhibition at which is still running until October 11th.

It examines repatriation processes beyond political and legal debates. Pushing against institutional constraints, the .erc opens up new perspectives on cultural heritage and demonstrates how art can actively pave the way for restitution.

Bringing together community members and long-standing collaborators, the Repatriates Collective is united by a steadfast political commitment to restitution projects in Australia, Benin, Mexico, Nigeria, and Namibia. The voices gathered here come from the visual arts, art criticism, history, film studies and curatorial practice. Through multifaceted approaches—ranging from intensive archival research to visual essays—they offer deep insights into the complex challenges and forward-looking possibilities of global repatriation processes.

Raymond Pettibon: Nervous Breakdown is the authoritative compendium of an artist who has shaped alternative culture like few others. For the first time, this volume gathers every album cover using Pettibon’s artwork since 1979—from Black Flag and Sonic Youth to the Foo Fighters and Lana Del Rey. Deeply rooted in the Southern California punk scene, his work combines biting satire with poetic reflections on American society. 

Published to accompany the exhibition at the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen, the book presents all covers—from LPs to cassettes—from the Stefan Thull Collection. In addition to a detailed catalogue raisonné, it features exclusive texts by experts and companions such as Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Max Dax, Robert Eikmeyer and Ulrich Loock. An indispensable reference for fans and collectors at the intersection of contemporary art and music history.

We’ve launched a set of books presenting the legacy of groundbreaking artist Niki de Saint Phalle.

Following our monograph “Niki de Saint Phalle” and “Niki de Saint Phalle: A to Z” we are now publishing “Niki de Saint Phalle. The Grotto” examining her spectacular legacy in Hanover.

Spectacular environments play a prominent role in Niki de Saint Phalle’s unique oeuvre. The walk-in Nanas, the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris, and her Tarot Garden in Tuscany are masterful examples of this. Her last completed major project in Hanover became her artistic legacy: the grotto in the Herrenhausen Gardens, redesigned according to her plans. Built in 1676 as part of the Baroque gardens, the grotto, originally decorated with shells, crystals, glass, and minerals, once served as a summer retreat. It was restored for EXPO 2000 and subsequently redesigned by Niki de Saint Phalle in her characteristic style. This completely revised new edition of the 2003 monograph describes the history of its creation and restoration and highlights the art-historical significance of the grotto from today’s perspective.

WGNB: Another Kind of Harmony explores a groundbreaking design philosophy led by visionary designer and architect . At the heart of his work is the concept of jeophwa — literally „contact-harmony“ — a design logic that transcends conventional binaries, offering a new way to harmonize opposites, contrasts, and pluralities. In a world where conflicting elements often vie for dominance, Baek presents jeophwa as a tool to create spaces that embody balance, complexity, and fluidity. Baek proposes that beauty and meaning emerge from integrating contrasting elements into a cohesive whole. His method redefines our understanding of space and aesthetics, showing that complexity and contrast can coexist within harmonious structures.

American artist Anne Truitt was a pioneer of sculptural minimalism. She became known for her multicolored steles, whose surfaces are painted with up to forty layers of paint in dark or delicate tones. „What I was basically trying to do was take the image off the wall so that color could unfold freely in space,“ Truitt said.

Twenty years after her death, this publication, which accompanies the first comprehensive traveling exhibition of her work, introduces Truitt’s oeuvre to a broad European audience for the first time. It still resides at until August 2nd and presents her groundbreaking sculptures from the early 1960s, the white Arundel Paintings from the 1970s, as well as numerous works on paper and rare archival material.

The book offers a child-friendly insight into the team and creative process behind a song, highlighting important skills such as teamwork, imagination, and curiosity. An inspiring introduction to the world of music - informative, entertaining, and full of enthusiasm for creative expression.
