The catalogue raisonné on Marcello Morandini (Mantova, 1940) represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date publication ever to be produced on his works of art. Edited by Marco Meneguzzo and subdivided into separate yet complementary sections, the catalogue gives a clear and in-depth description of Morandini's art from 1964 to the present day and is the result of the meticulous job carried out by the Marcello Morandini Foundation to catalogue, archive and authenticate his works. Comprising over 500 pages, the volume begins with a review by the editor and an essay by Serge Lemoine, a French historian who has followed Morandini's artistic career from the start. The second section contains a critical anthology of texts written for the artist's numerous exhibitions and which document his artistic research. Over the years, Morandini has explored different kinds of themes and studies on the movement of space (torsion, tension, expansion, superimposition), translating them into the world of geometry by using a bi-dimensional and tri-dimensional language and applying mathematical certainty to developing the work, in accordance with the inescapable conceptual premise whereby everything that surrounds us can be considered 'liveable'.

"A visionary artist who has achieved worldwide fame, Julius Shulman transformed the face of architectural photography - has, in truth, changed the very nature of how we see architecture - demanding that his work be so much more than the cold documentation of buildings. From the earliest photographs till those taken today, in a prolific and still vibrant career, his work demonstrates a profound sensitivity to and appreciation for the spaces in which actual people live, spaces that, as seen through his lens, are at once luminous and profoundly shadowed, spaces that are sometimes wonderfully mannered and yet still strangely, deeply personal, spaces of intrigue and ultimately extraordinary beauty, into which the observer - Shulman's passionate audience - longs to enter." "This volume, published in association with the Palm Springs Art Museum to accompany the exhibition, Julius Shulman: Palm Springs, tells the brilliant, decades-long story of the legendary photographer's symbiotic relationship with this oasis of Modernism on which so much of his photography is focused, an architectural landscape the formation of which he has simultaneously observed and helped bring to be."--BOOK JACKET.

Katharina Sieverding entwickelte für das Museum Schloss Moyland eine Ausstellung, die sich aus verschiedenen multimedialen Projektionen und fotografischen Arbeiten von 1968 bis 2013 zu einer umfassenden Installation zusammensetzt. Die Krönung der Ausstellung bildet die Arbeit 'DIE SONNE UM MITTERNACHT SCHAUEN', für die Katharina Sieverding von Mai 2010 bis Juni 2013 kontinuierlich etwa 100.000 visuelle Informationsdaten der NASA herunterlud und zu einem dynamischen Bild der Sonnenoberfläche künstlerisch verdichtete. Eine leuchtend blaue Kugel – mit unaufhörlichen Lichtwechseln in Kratern und über Gebirgen auf der Oberfläche und umgeben von einer hell flammenden Aura – durchschwebt körperhaft den Raum.0Exhibition: Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau, Germany (28.7.-24.11.2013).
