Description
Katalin Ladik’s radical approach to concrete and visual poetry, sound, performance, and sculpture established her as a key figure in Central and Eastern European art.
Over the course of the 1960s, Ladik became an integral part of the literary and artistic avant-gardes of her birthplace Novi Sad (former Yugoslavia, now Serbia) as the only female artist in the male-dominated art world of the time. Her presence in Budapest from the early 1970s onward catalyzed a fully embodied turn towards visual art. Ladik increasingly merged visual poetry with experimental sound practice, positioning herself at the intersection of various established and new performance traditions, from theater and film to happenings, rituals, photoperformance, and television.
This illustrated monograph contextualizes Ladik’s wide-ranging practice within post-war international discourses on (lens-based) performance, concrete and visual poetry, score- and instruction-based work, feminist histories, as well as the motifs of ritual and folklore in recent art.
Renowned artists, critics, and scholars from different generations and backgrounds including Diedrich Diederichsen, Hendrik Folkerts, Irena Haiduk, Ana Janevski, and Dieter Roelstraete contribute longer-form essays, while various experts such as Pierre Bal-Blanc, Fanny Hauser, Emese Ku¨rti, Quinn Latimer, Bhavisha Panchia, Gloria Sutton, Sarah Johanna Theurer, Paolo Thorsen-Nagel, and Mónica de la Torre focus on a single work from Ladik’s oeuvre.
Katalin Ladik contributes a newly commissioned visual essay, highlighting particular images and source materials that have informed her foundational practice from the 1960s until the present day.

Description
Anu Põder (1947-2013) is one of Estonia’s most revelatory voices of the last five decades. Her work has stood out since the 1970s as uniquely crafted, originally conceived, and deeply personal. Yet, because it was somehow out of sync with the then established art landscape in Estonia, it has been overlooked for many years. Põder is known for exploring the human body, highlighting the fragility, impermanence, and ephemerality of life in a series of highly evocative sculptures. Throughout her career, she employed unconventional materials such as textile, wax, plaster, soap, plastic, and wood to compose delicate assemblages. Working at the cusp of two major eras –– the Soviet occupation of Estonia, which began in 1940, and the new independence gained in 1991 –– Põder embraced the uncertainty of identity of the Estonian people, working as one of the very few women artists in a decidedly male context and focusing on female subjectivity alongside other international artists such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Louise Bourgeois, Ana Mendieta, and Alina Szapocznikow.

This illustrated monograph presents the latest research on Anu Põder work, featuring contributions by renowned authors and curators: Dina Akhmadeeva, Cecilia Alemani (co-editor), Ann Coxon, Agata Jakubowska, Linda Kaljundi, Marika Kuźmicz, Adomas Narkevičius, Bojana Peijć, Agnieszka Sosnowska (co-editor) and Triin Tulgiste-Toss. Anu Põder: Space for My Body offers a comprehensive survey of her artistic journey, highlighting her remarkable contribution to European art.

The monograph is yet another chapter in the ongoing series initiated by Muzeum Susch dedicated to the rediscovery of women artists who have been neglected by the main discourses and canons of art history.

Description
Wanda Czełkowska (1930-2021) was a key figure of the Polish avant-garde, whose oeuvre remained almost unnoticed by art history until recently. She started her career near the end of the 1950s in Kraków and played an important role in the development of conceptual art in Poland. As a member of the famous the Second Kraków Group she kept her independent voice and never fully committed to the artistic discourse and social life of the group. Those who knew her, often refer to her as someone who treads her own, separate path. Her œuvre was driven by a profound belief in the intelligence and authenticity of art, which led her beyond formal or political considerations: ‘art uncovers truths of the world’, she wrote in her notes. In this sense, the artist remained a worthy heir of avant-garde thought, never giving in to postmodern disillusion. Unlike her contemporaries, Alina Szapocznikow and Magdalena Abakanowicz, her work remains largely unknown outside of Poland.

In this fully illustrated monograph, a wide range of prominent authors from different generations and backgrounds contextualize Wanda Czełkowska’s practice within post-war international discourses such as abstract and conceptual art, feminist practices, human body and its relation to space. The list of authors includes Émilie Bouvard, Mathieu Copeland, David Crowley, June Geddes, Antonina Gugała, Amelia Jones, Charlotte Matter, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Agnieszka Tarasiuk, Matylda Taszycka (editor) and Sarah Wilson.


The monograph is another position in the series initiated by the Muzeum Susch dedicated to the rediscovery of women artists who have been neglected by the main discourses and canons of art history.

Description
Hannah Villiger (1951–1997) was an extraordinary voice in late twentieth-century contemporary art, but her oeuvre came to an abrupt end with her untimely death. She became known above all for her photographic work based on the body. This publication traces a path from the sculptures she created in the 1970s and her little-known drawings to the black-and-white photographs and works with the Polaroid camera that Villiger started making in the 1980s. These fragmentary close-ups of her own body were enlarged via an internegative and mounted on aluminium, either individually or assembled into space-related blocks. The results were radical pictorial inventions that made a unique contribution to the artistic exploration of the self and are still relevant today.

This volume presents the latest research on Hannah Villiger’s work, featuring contributions by renowned authors and curators: Yasmin Afschar (co-editor), Emily Butler, Stefanie Manthey, Aïcha Revellat, Madeleine Schuppli (co-editor), Agnieszka Sosnowska, Wolfgang Ullrich; as well as artists and contemporaries of Villiger, whose statements provide a personal and refined understanding of her work: Rut Himmelsbach, Daniela Keiser, Claudia & Julia Müller, Katja Schenker, Jürg Stäuble, Beat Streuli. Themes such as the female body, self-image and its perception by others, fluid identities, the fragmentation of the physical body as well as psychological and aesthetic aspects of the human skin are addressed.

This monograph is part of the series initiated by the Muzeum Susch and Skira editore dedicated to the rediscovery of women artists who have been neglected by the main discourses and canons of art history.

Description
MS#4 reader serves as a platform to open up, continue and develop creative dialogue with artists, curators and researchers who were present in the programme of Muzeum Susch in 2022.

This edition is very special and symbolic as it opens with a conversation with Natalia LL, the nestor of Polish feminist art and an icon of Polish contemporary art. She was an outstanding and original artist, who in her artistic practice touched upon issues of identity of women and women artists. The interview for MS#4 was the last given by her before she passed away in August 2022 at the age of eighty-five. In MS#4, we pay tribute to that pioneering artist and dedicate the cover of the magazine to her.

Description
Heidi Bucher's fascination with the interplay between art and fashion gave rise to wearable genderless body sculptures back in the early 1970s in California. The works celebrated her concept of sculpture as something between performance and object. Already at this time, she began to experiment with unusual materials such as rubber, which she applied to surfaces in liquid form and pulled off again with great physical force after it had solidified. With material transformations that were at once radical and sensual, she investigated human forms of existence

and their embedding in power structures. In doing so, she was always dedicated to a critical subversion of normative gender roles. This monograph presents Bucher's oeuvre from its beginnings in Zurich in the 1940s, to the experimental phase in New York and Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s and the main body of work with architectural and human skins, to the works she created in the last years of her life on Lanzarote.

The sculptor and performative artist HEIDI BUCHER (1926-1993) was raised in Switzerland, studied under Johannes Itten in Zurich, and enjoyed her initial successes in the late 1960s in New York and California. Her works can be found in numerous museums and private collections around the world.

Description
'Feliza Bursztyn: Welding Madness' is the first English language monograph dedicated to the oeuvre of Feliza Bursztyn. Seen as a great artist in Colombia, elsewhere Bursztyn has remained relatively unknown. Revealing her dynamic treatment of materials, the publication – edited by Marta Dziewańska and Abigail Winograd – looks at Bursztyn in the context of Columbia, but also more broadly: in the context of the feminist struggles of women artists in Latin America and beyond.

Her life and work is addressed by prominent writers, researchers and curators: Julia Buenaventura (professor at the Universidad de Los Andes and Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá), Cecilia Fajardo-Hill (art historian and curator (along with Andrea Giunta) of Radical Women in Latin American Art 1960–1985, presented and broadly acclaimed in Latin America and the US), Camilo Leyva (artist, researcher and curator of a monographic show devoted to Bursztyn and presented at Museum of Modern Art in Bogotá in 2009), Daniel Muzyczuk (researcher and curator at Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź), Lucas Ospina (writer), Sylvia Suárez (curator and writer specialised in Colombian art), Gina McDaniel Tarver (professor of modern and contemporary art history, with a focus on Latin America, at Texas State University) and Lynn Zelevansky (American art historian, former curator at the painting and sculpture department at New York's Museum of Modern Art and former director of Carnegie Museum of Art).

The publication is a comprehensive survey on the pioneering art practice of Bursztyn and seeks to reflect on and animate new tendencies in research on Feliza Bursztyn and her vibrant body of work. It features reprints of source texts and rarely published archive materials.

The book is published with the generous support of the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art

Description
Published on the occasion of her long-deserved retrospective organized by Muzeum Susch from June to December 2021, this book testifies to the singularity and innovative vision of Italian artist Laura Grisi within contemporary art history. Although her work has mostly been “reduced” to Italian Pop art—if not entirely overlooked—from the outset Grisi worked beyond that category, pertinently intercepting various lines of international artistic research (Conceptual art, Optical art and Kinetic-Programmed art, Minimal art) and applying them in her own original synthesis. Within an activity whose fundamental motif is the “journey”—from remote locations visited and documented, to the multiplicity of mediums used—Grisi embodies a stateless and nomadic female subject who defies the politics of identity, the univocity of representation, and the unidirectionality of time.

Born in Rhodes, Greece, in 1939, educated in Paris, and living between New York and Rome where she died in 2017, Grisi spent long periods of her life in Africa, South America, and Polynesia. This involvement with cultures beyond those of the Western world was destined to indelibly mark her own experiences in the search for a cosmic thinking or “science of the concrete” (Levi-Strauss). Despite making photography the original method of her research in the early 1960s, she subsequently moved to “Variable Paintings” in the mid-1960s (with sliding panels and neon tubes). By the end of the 1960s she was creating dynamic, environmental installations in which she artificially reproduced natural phenomena such as fog, wind, and rain, before ultimately arriving at a descriptive, verbal form and mathematical language as a conceptual tool in the 1970s and 1980s, in order to explore the mechanics of human perception and knowledge. Grisi’s entire body of work strives to take into account the breadth, multiplicity, imperceptibility, and infinite proliferation of all that is possible, but starts out from precise constraints, from paradoxical gaps, from linguistic and semiotic limitations, in accordance with an approach that is close to the Nouveau Roman, to Nouvelle Vague cinema, and the French Oulipo group.

During her lifetime, Laura Grisi exhibited at the Galleria dell’Ariete, Milan, in 1965; Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, from 1973; the Van Abbemuseum Museum, Eindhoven, in 1976; and Konrad Fischer Gallery, Düsseldorf, from 1978. Her work was included in 1966 at the XXXIII Biennale di Venezia and the group exhibition Italy New Tendencies at Gallerie Bonino, New York; in 1968 in Young Italians at the ICA, Boston, and the Jewish Musem, New York, and Teatro delle Mostre at Galleria La Tartaruga, Rome.

The first comprehensive monograph dedicated to Laura Grisi, this publication gathers together extensive documentation on Grisi’s multifaceted practice, research, and travel, focusing on the 1960s–1970s, with new essays by Muzeum Susch Artistic Director Krzysztof Kosciuczuk, Italian critic and curator Marco Scotini, French art historian Valérie Da Costa, writer and critic Martin Herbert, and Harvard University Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies Giuliana Bruno. It also includes the reprint of a seminal interview with Laura Grisi by Germano Celant realized in 1990.

Description
"Live as you will wish you had lived when you die". Riet Campell (1866-1951) tells us episodes from his eventful life, of his youth in Susch, of his training as a beer brewer in Munich, of his work in the famous brewery in Susch - in today's Muzeum. In 1892 he expanded into the Upper Engadine and built a second flourishing brewery in Celerina. As a pioneer, he collected many objects of home culture, he even bought up entire historic parlours and then founded the Muse-um Engiadinais in St. Moritz in 1906. In his family and that of his wife Maria (1871-1929), a deep attachment to the valley went hand in hand with cosmopolitanism and great social elasticity.

For the first time, the autobiography of this 1939 pioneer is published in Rhaeto-Romanic (original) and German (translation 2020), supplemented by some reminiscences of his wife. Attached explanations and notes by the editor, as well as illustrations and enclosed essays, provide insight into an eventful era and place the events of the time in their landscape, historical, social and family context.

Description
Over twelve months, between May 2017 and May 2018, Polish curator and critic Anda Rottenberg wrote a series of fictional letters to the legendary curator and writer Harald Szeemann (1933–2005). In them, she reflects on the art and nature of curation throughout art history. Questioning the position of female artists in both Eastern and Western Europe, Rottenberg encourages new individual readings of them. Her letters display distinctive rhetoric that raises questions and challenges judgments to amalgamate individual opinion and objective knowledge into a personal history.

Description
The “Treatise on the Visual Image” – a catalogue accompanying Zbigniew Rybczyński’s monographic exhibition, thoroughly explores the fundamentals and the condition of the image in the age of “digital reproduction”. Rybczyński, an Oscar awardee and acclaimed video artist, starts his analysis of visuality with Renaissance linear perspective and goes as far as exploring the latest developments in VR – the “Treatise…” includes technical notes, sketches and documents allowing for a deeper look into the creative process behind many of Rybczyński’s video works. The show’s documentation included in the tome, presents a seemingly effortless combination of insights and visual material coming from art, philosophy and science and presents Rybczyński as both a skilled craftsman, tireless researcher and perceptive theoretician. Additionally, the book contains comments by new media art theorists Piotr Krajewski and Piotr Zawojski.

Description
“DE.FI.CIEN.CY”, edited by the acclaimed curator Ulrich Loock, accompanied the exhibition by the same title that took place in Art Stations Foundation in Poznań in 2015. This groundbreaking show presented drawings, gouaches and watercolours by a trio of internationally respected painters. René Daniëls, Luc Tuymans and Andrzej Wróblewski, departing from their individual historical, geographical and ideological contexts, all investigated the limits of the visual representation and experimented with the pictorial potential of abstract imagery. In addition to numerous color reproductions of the exhibited works, the book contains an insightful interview with Luc Tuymans conducted by the renowned Polish art historian Anda Rottenberg and an essay by Loock, disclosing his thoughts behind the exhibition’s concept and his reasons for juxtaposing these very distinct creative practices. The readers themselves, following the clues provided by the curator, can observe the formal contrasts between the works and detect the themes that all three artists shared interest in.

Description
Leszek Knaflewski (1960 – 2014) remains one of Poland’s most interesting and influential artistic personas. His works do not tell simple stories, nor they are easy subjects of interpretation – instead, they succeed in generating a vast array of associations, stir the viewers’ imagination and tend to stay in the one’s memory. “Frofenia” presents an impressive collection of 77 Knaflewski’s monochrome drawings, conceived during the country’s occupation by the Soviets. The tome draws its title from the artist’s own, imaginary vocabulary, referring to a sphere in both language and visuality, where everything is possible and no rules apply. The book is inhabited by curious black-and-white human-animal hybrids, nightmarish landscapes and disturbing examples of fauna and flora, all portrayed in an expressive and energetic style. Knaflewski’s bestiary ought to be looked at as a set of ambiguous metaphors – the artist allows the readers to look behind the Iron Curtain and experience the tragic aura of one of Poland’s darkest chapters.

Description
Paulina Ołowska is one the best-known contemporary artists, whose monographic exhibitions were shown in the most prestigious institutions around the world, including TATE Modern (London), Ludwig Forum (Aachen), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam) and Kunsthalle Basel. Working both in her native Poland and internationally, Ołowska borrows from Eastern European high and low culture to create a new, fascinating iconography of powerful and fearless women. Ołowska tirelessly pursues the goal of rewriting the canons of art history – this includes questioning hierarchies of genres, techniques and most importantly, gender. The methods used to complete this ambitious (and seemingly endless) endeavour are varied: in addition to painting – the artist’s favoured medium - Ołowska has been active as an editor, curator, fashion designer, art historian and conservator. “Pavilionesque” – a magazine published with Mundin and Cricoteka – Centre for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor – is a crucial element to Ołowska’s historiographical project, elegantly showcasing the artist’s modus operandi. The first issue of “Pavilionesque” is dedicated to puppet theatre – a medium often denied gravitas, frequently reduced to unrefined amusement and trivial decoration. Ołowska’s perception of this genre is thoroughly different – together with invited creatives, writers and visual artists, she allows the readers to discover subversive, mysterious and uncanny faces of the world of marionettes.

Description
Catalogue to the exhibition in Stary Browar in Poznan from 2010. Combining the exhibition of installations and video works by French artist Loris Greaud (born 1979) with the presentation of inventions by American scientist R. Buckminster Fuller (1895‐1983), we are coming up with a truly multifaceted project. This is another of our paired individual exhibitions, where juxtaposing the artists of different generations allows us to look at a given problem from a broader perspective and interpret it to form different angles.
