KATRINA DASCHNER
Nouvelle Burlesque Brutal: A Trilogy by Katrina Daschner
Performance artist Katrina Daschner’s explosive third book is divided into chapters corresponding to her films Hafenperlen (2008), Aria de Mustang (2009) and Flaming Flamingoes (2011).While the burlesque narratives are told in part through film stills, flip-book effects are also used in the book format to “read” the gestural moments and performative aspects visible in the cinematic rendition. The stage and the exhibition are perceived as a sexualized arena of play and performance in which processes of desire and power – along with gaze scenarios – are negotiated and staged. Readers walk on to a stage setting to find themselves in a field of gazes in which they have become not just the audience but also the protagonists.

ROBERT HEINECKEN
Copywork
A long awaited and comprehensive monograph on Robert Heinecken (1931– 2006), one of America’s most influential contemporary, conceptual photographers, reflects the increasing appreciation of his work. Heinecken, who headed the photo program at UCLA for three decades, rarely used a camera: his definition of photography encompassed everything related to the photo. Rather than focusing on the photographic image as a creation derived solely from a camera, his interest was on the relation of methods and formalism – often in an irreverent and humorous way – to popular media. This overview of Heinecken’s work from the 1960s through the 1990s features a complete reproduction of one of the artist’s best-known works: Are You Real series (1964-1968), besides his numerous forward thinking bodies of work. The extensive illustrations and comprehensive essay make this book on Heinecken a real must for all art libraries, personal and academic.
