LAURINA PAPERINA
Braindead
Italian artist Laurina Paperina’s Braindead is a pop-culture feat of comedy and commentary. In the 80 colorful drawings included here, Paperina applies her free-wheeling brand of cultural satire to a wide range of iconic characters. Who else could mix Homer Simpson (whose brain is depicted as a donut with sprinkles), Jackson Pollock and the Pope in one sharply observed book? Yes, there’s plenty of Technicolor brain tissue, but instead of leaving the viewer feeling repulsed, Paperina uses her stylized graphic motifs to hit on the essence of each character - what makes them tick - and as a result, the surprising clumps of brain become laugh-aloud funny.

PARADISE AND BACK
Rheingold at Dyck Castle
This exhibition catalog documents a broad-based, thematic overview of the Sammlung Rheingold’s contemporary art collection in a unique setting: Schloss Dyck, a Baroque villa near Düsseldorf, is considered by connoisseurs of exquisite landscape architecture and gardens to be a veritable paradise. Curator Veit Loers has brought together the stately location and the exhibited artworks, which have paradise as a starting point, but which are in turn intent on illuminating the sadness surrounding the demise of paradise, the expulsion from Eden. Artists include: Georg Baselitz, Alexandra Bircken, Mircea Cantor, Cerith Wyn Evans, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Eberhard Havekost, Christian Jankowski, William Kentridge, Jochen Lempert, Jonathan Meese, Boris Mikhailov, Albert Oehlen/Jonathan Meese, Peter Piller, Daniel Richter, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth and Tal R.
