“To dance is to participate actively in the vibration of the universe” - Sasha Waltz

On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, choreographer Sasha Waltz, the cultural entrepreneur ,their dance company and people who have accompanied her along the way look back together.

As Waltz herself aptly describes it, “an ensemble is a living archive.” Preluding a mere chronology of the shows, an eclectic collection of evocative terms and their choreographic figures let us understand the processes of the productions. Like an encyclopaedic cabinet of curiosities, this publication takes up 50 of these “codes” and detaches them from their actual context.

Our very popular standard work “Tragsysteme | Structure Systems” by Heino Engel (1925-2013) is back in stock and available on our website!

Since its first publication in 1997 the typology of structural systems in architecture illustrates the interplay between structure and form. Focusing on archetypal structural systems, this bilingual edition (German and English) offers a visual grammar of structural forms, making it ideal for education, design, and inspiration.

With over 500 outstanding drawings and model photographs, a systematic presentation of the most important structural types, and numerous impulses for creative design approaches in architecture and engineering, the book convinces both visually and conceptually. Proven for almost 29 years. A work that unites tradition, opens up creative freedom, and serves as a visual toolbox.

Our catalogue “alia ali… On Of Many” with its extraordinary Japanese binding got selected in the 50 books | 50 covers list of@aigadesign !

This survey of book design represents perhaps the longest-standing legacy in American graphic design. Beginning in 1923, the Fifty Books of the Year competition was a yearly mainstay of AIGA. As dust jackets became more common, covers were added to the competition. Selections from past competitions have been added to the AIGA Design Archives - one of the richest online resources available to those who practice, study, and appreciate great design - as well as the physical archives at the Denver Art Museum (1980–2012) and at the RBML at Columbia University’s Butler Library in New York City.

Rather than a monograph, a drawing of one, .ali.art presents with this book a multi-graph, a drawing of many. Ali deconstructs artificial binaries to examine inherited political narratives—diaspora, identity, borders—through the lens of photography, language, textile, and architectural installations. A map of patterns emerges, interwoven with artist statements, research images, exchanges with collaborators, and fragments of her journals.

Tomorrow, November 13th, are going to sign their new book “Modern Barragán” at Paris Photo. You can purchase your brand-new copy and meet the artists at 4pm at s booth C51.

In “Modern Barragán” the Mexican duo depict their photographic encounters with the work of the architect Luis Barragán and his famous house built in 1948.

This book unveils photographic depictions of the architect’s work and private spaces as a tribute and a celebration, an anthem of love and admiration. It’s letting us experience the perspective of two renowned artists on their colleague from another art genre.
Spending their time in his house, trying to get as close to him as possible, the artists measured their own bodies with his, sat in his chairs, opened his closets, listened in silence and kissed in the enchanted garden.

The house is portrayed in daylight, under the light of the full moon, by streetlight, in thunderstorms, using flash and by rubbing the walls and floors with aluminum sheets to reveal its history through the textures.

Until 20th of September

Dr. Andrée Sfeir-Semler is receiving the price for art education at the town hall of Cologne today!

Born in Beirut in 1953, Sfeir-Semler studied Fine Arts at the American University and the National TV and Film Center in Beirut. In 1975, she came to Munich on a DAAD scholarship, continued her studies at Bielefeld University, and furthered them at the Sorbonne in Paris.
In 1985, she founded her first gallery in Kiel, later moving to Hamburg. Her work focused early on conceptual art, minimal art, and politically engaged positions.

In September we published her book “The Rise of Arab Art” where she collected various positions on how the art in the Arab region evolved since the 1990s. Museums & art foundations began to collect, biennials were launched, contemporary art galleries, fairs, residencies and schools emerged in many countries, and the governments of the Gulf states launched megaprojects.

“The Rise of Arab Art” is currently sold out but will be back in stores on November 27th. It is also available as Ebook.

Michael Morgner (*1942) is one of the most important contemporary artists.

This second volume of the catalogue raisonné supplements the first volume on the paintings and sculptures published in 2022 by adding a central facet of the artist’s oeuvre.

His work is characterized by an unmistakable signature and stems from his intensive examination of the existential questions of being human as well as the political and social challenges of his time. This volume documents all of his works on paper for the first time.

The hand drawing proves to be the origin and source of inspiration for his artistic work. The multi-layered picture that emerges from this not only allows an in-depth look at the artist’s oeuvre as a whole, but also a new approach to Michael Morgner the man by revealing biographical traces in his artistic expression.

Women have always played a role in the discovery of art even though they oftentimes were not allowed to do so publicly. In the beginning of the twentieth century modern emancipation arose, accompanied by a new form of art: photography.

“In industrialised cities at the turn of the twentieth century, women were becoming increasingly involved in all aspects of photography. During this time, women suffragettes were emerging as vital image-makers, marching on the streets to demand equal rights and the right to vote, while shaping and sharing photographs as a way to spread their message and control their own representation”

“Women Photographers 1900-1975. A Legacy of Light” sheds light on the work and lives of over 80 women whose contributions to photography have been historically underacknowledged. Featuring a carefully curated selection of images, essays and poetry, this volume is a rich collective portrait of artists whose vision and influence shaped the medium in profound ways.

Lee is a Berlin-based South Korean-German artist. She studied painting at the Berlin University of the Arts and at Hunter College University in New York. She is interested in all the traces-the intimate imprints and distinctive markings-that we leave behind and that inhabit the spaces surrounding us. Abstract compositions of rescued stories, worn-out pavements and stripped down wallpapers, cut out floors, grains of sand that have traveled millions of years around the world, coffee stains or burnt wood.

As part of the price Jeewi Lee will show an exhibition at Berlinische Galerie Düring Berlin Art week 2026.

In 2023 we published her book “Jeewi Lee. Index” which is still available online.
