GÜNTHER FÖRG / GÜNTER HERBURGER
Die Trilogie der Tatzen
Internationally renowed German painter Gunther Forg teams up with recognized contemporary novelist, poet and film script writer Gunter Herburger for a unique collaboration including photos, watercolors and texts. In Forg’s book Watercolor he invited author Arnold Stadler to join him; here, Förg has invited a special literary voice in the novelist Herburger to accompany both him and his work, and the result is a trilogy of texts about phases of the artist’s life. What emerges is a fascinating project – a dialogue between the disciplines by two masters of their art. In an elegant hardbound edition with black and white photos and beautiful color reproductions of Forg’s watercolors.
6 x 8 inches / 140 pp / 40 b&w and 60 color

Peter Friedl
Working at Copan
Oscar Niemeyer’s Modernist landmark Edificio Copan was the largest residential building in Latin America when it became part of Sao Paulo’s skyline in 1966. In a project that’s as much sociology as art, Berlin-based artist Peter Freidl interviews some of the 107 full-time employees whose lives are occupied with keeping this “vertical utopia” running. The scale is tremendous – the building has over 60 doormen alone, and employs firefighters, masons, electricians, secretaries and managers, among others. Friedl asks them about their work and their lives outside work, trying to paint a picture through first-hand accounts of the complex urban social reality of a Brazilian megalopolis.
