Buch, Softcover, 1. Auflage, Uli Aigner’s art is a proposal to the view to enter into a dialogue with her works and projects and to become immersed in the universal social space the artist opens. This extensive social claim makes itself explicit in the work One Million, in which the artist has set out to produce one million porcelain vessels and distribute them around the globe—a claim that seems to reduce itself to absurdity from the get-go. How could a single person produce so many objects in her limited lifetime? But suddenly we have clear sight on the possibilities of meaningful symbolic work in an open future. Aigner also confronts viewers with the partly oversize colored-crayon drawings of the series Open Shape, which depict distorted vases that often defy the laws of geometry and whose surfaces feature ornamental forms and daring color combinations. “Actually doing something, working with my hands—that’s what informs my thinking. So, I draw to diversify my technical skills.” – Uli Aigner Uli Aigners Kunst macht dem Betrachter stets das Angebot, mit ihren Werken und Projekten in Dialog zu treten und sich auf den von ihr geöffneten universellen gesellschaftlichen Raum einzulassen. Dieser ganz weit greifende Anspruch zeigt sich explizit in der Arbeit „One Million“, in der die Künstlerin 1.000.000 Porzellangefäße produzieren und über den Globus verteilen will – ein Anspruch, der sich von vornherein ad absurdum zu führen scheint. Wie könnte eine einzelne Person innerhalb ihrer beschränkten Lebenszeit so viele Objekte herstellen? Aber plötzlich herrscht freie Sicht auf die Möglichkeit sinnvoller symbolischer Arbeit in einer offenen Zukunft. Daneben stehen die teils überlebensgroßen Buntstiftzeichnungen der Serie „Offene Form“, Darstellungen von Vasen, die die Regeln der Geometrie sprengen, deren Außen- und Innenflächen neue ornamentale Formen und reich variierte Farbkombinationen hervorbringen. „Das tatsächliche Tun, die Arbeit mit den Händen, informiert mein Denken. So zeichne ich, um das Handwerkliche auszudifferenzieren.“ – Uli Aigner.

Occasionally a collection of letters appears that is so extraordinary in its biographical details and emotional resonance that the work becomes a classic of literature in its own right: the letters, for example, of Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway or Saul Bellow. Such is the case of the legendary Austro-Hungarian novelist and essayist, Joseph Roth, who was born in Ukraine in 1894 and died tragically in Paris in 1939. Having translated every other major Roth work including The Radetzky March, the award-winning translator Michael Hofmann presents this stunning new biography of the master novelist and legendary Euoprean journalist, told through letters. The letters span the breadth of Roth's life, from his schoolboy years - in letters to his girl cousins in the Austrian provinces - to the veteran of 44, marked by war, poverty, alcoholism, the loss of his wife through madness, and two decades of prolific work. It is a deeply moving portrait of the life of the writer as an outsider; in exile from a world he no longer recognized as his own.
