Laurie Simmons Woman Listening to the Radio, 1978 Black and white photography, 19 x 30 cm, ed. 120 Woman Listening to the Radio is part of In and Around the House, Laurie Simmons’ seminal series of black and white photographs, which she made between 1976-78. This early body of work put Simmons on the forefront of a new generation of artists, predominantly women, whose use the media as subject began a new dialogue in contemporary art. Set-up photography combined with the notion of child-play through the manipulation of miniaturized dolls, objects and interiors enabled Simmons to control perception while simultaneously referencing both general stereotypes and her own memories. - Carolina Nitsch 60

Barbara Sturm Galerie 1:12 (showing Albrecht Schäfer, Fragment of the Malewitsch Museum Biberach in scale 1:2, installation outline), Hardboard (MDF), balsa, 50 x 70 x 50 cm Lyotard once wrote that the art museum monumentalises the trace. Galerie 1:12 would appear to do the opposite, in that it reaffirms the interface between materiality and the imaginary as something not easily reconcilable. Hence its ambiguity in terms of functioning as a ‘model’ (i.e. not yet ‘realized’) and object. Rajchman asks the question, again, in relation to the virtual: ‘What would it mean for the virtual to be part of the very idea of construction? Let’s take Deleuze’s Leibnizian account of the baroque house, where the real and the ideal no longer belong to different worlds but inhabit the same uncentered perspectival ‘possible world’ …’ In many ways it is as though Galerie 1:12 has taken this as its remit. It does not aim to represent, symbolize, or place a singular coherent meaning about the role of the artist, gallery, exhibition space, etc., but rather provisionally defines and discusses these issues with each new collaboration and within each installed location. Through these means, and as a virtual, fictional gallery, it allows for potential and collaboration to take the place of either moribund monumentality, or the opposite emphasis on art as luxurious commercial product. - David Ryan, Galerie 1:12. 61
