MZIN NEWS: HANS HILLMANN — DER TITEL WIRD IM BILD FORTGESETZT (FOLKWANG MUSEUM)

„Ich habe Bücher von Pudowkin und von Eisenstein gelesen. Und es war interessant, was sie über Filmmontage schrieben. Da hab ich gedacht, vielleicht kann ich das auch für die Grafik benutzen in gewisser Umformung. Das waren durchaus interessante Beiträge, überhaupt das ganze Denken in Montage.“ Hans Hillmann
Die Geschichte des deutschen Plakats nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beginnt mit den Filmplakaten von Hans Hillmann. Seine Plakate werben nicht nur, sie kommentieren die jeweiligen Filme. Sie sind das Ergebnis einer eingehenden Beschäftigung mit den Charakteren, der Handlung, mit dem Kern und den besonderen Qualitäten eines Films. Hillmann kamen dabei seine außerordentlichen zeichnerischen Fähigkeiten zugute, aber er arbeitete auch mit Fotomontage, um das Filmthema im Plakat fortzusetzen. Diesem Anspruch widmete er sich völlig unabhängig vom Zeitgeschmack, indem er Flächen auf neue Weise strukturierte, Gestaltungs- und Freifläche komponierte und die Typografie als Teil des Bildes verstand.

MZIN RESTOCK: CLAUDE LEVI-STRAUSS — TRAURIGE TROPEN (SUHRKAMP)

Mit seiner Verbindung von Poesie und Wissenschaft, Reiseroman und ethnologischer Reflexion nimmt dieses Buch eine einzigartige Stellung im Werk von Claude Lévi-Srauss und in der ethnologischen Literatur insgesamt ein. »Traurige Tropen« meint das Aussterben der »primitiven« Kulturen in ihrer Konfrontation mit dem zivilisatorischen sogenannten »Fortschritt«, mit seiner imperialistischen Zerstörungswut und seinen Krankheiten - in diesem Falle das Aussterben der Indianervölker im Mato Grosso (Brasilien). Seine Reflexionen sind nichts weniger als eine Theorie des Verhältnisses von subjektiver Erfahrung und der Möglichkeit objektiver Wissenschaft, von ethnographischer Erfahrung und ethnologischer Modellstruktur sowie von Betrachtung der fremden und politischer Veränderung der eigenen Gesellschaft - eine Grundlegung der strukturalistischen Sozialanthropologie. Eingebettet sind diese theoretischen Überlegungen nicht nur in einen Vergleich zwischen der Kultur der Urbewohner Brasiliens und der Kultur ihrer Kolonialherren, sondern auch in einen universalen Kulturvergleich zwischen Buddhismus, Islam und Christentum.

MZIN NEWS: BLOCK MAGAZIN #3 (D) —

BLOCK ist ein Magazin, das sich dem Relevanzgehechel, das in der Medienlandschaft vorherrscht, entzieht. Beiträge werden nicht aufgrund ihrer Aktualität, sondern aufgrund ihrer Qualität ausgesucht. Autoren, Künstler und Journalisten können über das Thema, die Länge und die Form ihres Beitrags selbst entscheiden. Dadurch ergibt sich eine wilde Mischung aus Essays, Reportagen, Gedichten, Fotografien und Kunst. Rezensionen, die hauptsächlich zur Positionierung des Magazins dienen, und katalogähnliche „Lifestyle“- Seiten überlassen wir getrost anderen Blättern.

Wir sind der Meinung, unserer Leserschaft diesen fröhlichen Eklektizismus durchaus zumuten zu können– die mediale Überforderung durch fehlende Strukturen wie Sparten oder Kolumnen ist im Internetzeitalter nur mehr eine schwache Erinnerung. Wir glauben nicht an den Grabenkampf zwischen gedruckten und digitalen Publikationen. BLOCK ist in allererster Linie ein Printprodukt, weil sich das Medium für unsere Zwecke besser eignet, und nicht etwa aus ideologischen Gründen.

BLOCK ist ein junges und unabhängiges Magazin und soll aus einer Mischung von Vorbestellungen und Anzeigenverkauf finanziert werden. Anzeigenpreis und Auflage sind gekoppelt, wie in der Branche üblich – jedoch mit dem Unterschied, dass wir den Prozess für unsere Leser nachvollziehbar gestalten. Insgesamt stehen sechs volle Seiten im Heft für Werbekunden zum Verkauf.

MZIN NEWS: WORKSHOP OF THE FILM FORM (STERNBERG PRESS)

Workshop of the Film Form provides an in-depth overview of the achievements of Warsztat Formy Filmowej (WWF; Workshop of the Film Form), a group of avant-garde artists who were working at the Leon Schiller National Higher School of Film, Television and Theatre in Lodz, Poland, between 1970 and 1977. WWF was founded by the students and graduates of the school, now known as the National Film School, and included: Wojciech Bruszewski, Paweł Kwiek, Andrzej Różycki, Józef Robakowski, Zbigniew Rybczyński, Kazimierz Bendkowski, Antoni Mikołajczyk, Janusz Połom, and Ryszard Waśko. As pioneers of video art in Poland and structural cinema in Central and Eastern Europe, the artists refused classical narrative and traditional film media, working instead somewhere between cinematography and contemporary art.

This publication examines all aspects of WFF’s activity, from their films, photographic experiments, video art, and performative actions to their teaching work, which includes previously unexplored pedagogical contributions to the National Film School. Drawing on the private archives and oral testimonies of the WWF, Workshop of the Film Form attempts to provide a full account of the group’s history as well as a comprehensive survey of each member’s practice. The writers who were invited to respond to the WWF for this book provide insightful new readings of the group’s output and activities, contextualizing their work in the history of the prewar Polish avant-garde and the politics of experimental filmmaking in Poland under the rule of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR).

MZIN NEWS: THE EGYPTIAN POSTURES (THE EVERYDAY PRESS)

The Egyptian Postures
Dr. Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha’nish
The Egyptian Postures is a guide to the most advanced Mazdaznan exercises that Johannes Itten taught his students at the Bauhaus. Often performed while singing or humming the postures were intended to activate glands and re-channel internal energies, stirring the blood in ways that contributed to the perpetual evolution of humanity. They were also said to induce auto-illumination, the participant’s body generating an intense light from within.
This edition of Dr. Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha’nish’s original instructions has been newly edited and illustrated by Ian Whittlesea with images of actor Ery Nzaramba demonstrating the postures and an in-depth essay by Pádraic E. Moore that explores the relationships between esoteric movements, their racial theories and early modernism's embrace and eventual dismissal of the occult, Mazdaznan and Itten.

MZIN NEWS: SKIN — BY LODOWN MAGAZINE (D)

from a very rational point of view, skin is nothing more than the biggest organ we have. “skin” by lodown magazine on the other hand is an artistic exploration of the simple reality that skin actually defines and dictates who we are, like it or not. and that’s why this time around we’ll put humankind and our affinity to pop culture under the macro-lens in order to celebrate the imperfection that then will come to light.

MZIN NEWS: JASMIJN FISSER — CONFLICT ATLAS (ARCHIVE BOOKS)

conflict atlas looks at history through the perspective of the falklands islands/islas malvinas. global events are mirrored to local proceedings on the archipelago. through this method it explores trade routes, colonial enterprises, patterns of migration, questions of identity, strategies in warfare and the role of the climate in social issues. conflict atlas comprises texts, maps and archival materials. starting from the case of the falklands/malvinas it aims to create a field of tensions by the multiplication and stratification of geographical sites, historical times and subjective views. within the tension field the atlas detects movements and events that are contingent in character and can reflect on human behaviour within conflicts.

jasmijn visser is a dutch artist who lives in berlin and utrecht. she works on the intersection of drawing, writing, research and design. a large part of visser’s practice is interdisciplinary collaboration and long-term on-site research: e.g. she undertook expeditions researching an open coal mine in siberia for the krasnoyarsk biennial, and spent four months studying the atlas van loon and related atlases in museum van loon for her solo exhibition bachelor’s delight, and went on a three-month expedition to the malvinas/falkland islands as the start of the falklands project.

MZIN NEWS: THE WHITE REVIEW #20 — ARTS AND LITERATURE MAGAZINE (UK)

THE WHITE REVIEW NO. 20 features interviews with the Canadian poet, artist and bookmaker Anne Carson, the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, and Lebanese artist Mounira Al Sohl. Through the testimony of an ex-inmate, Felix Bazalgette considers state systems of control, dehumanisation, and imprisonment without trial, while J. S. Tennant describes life in Havana as Cuba adjusts to the normalisation of relations with the United States, the death of Fidel Castro and the influx of foreign investment. Tom McCarthy’s essay ‘The Wandering Bourgeois’ drifts through the history of twentieth-century art to consider how vanguard strategies of recording, mapping and marking are now embedded in digital culture. Alongside these essays, we are pleased to present poems by Nisha Ramayya and Heather Phillipson, who also contributes an exclusive new limited edition artwork. We also feature series of artworks by Nicholas Party and John Divola.



This issue is bookended by two new talents, Nicole Flattery and Kristen Gleason, winners of the UK Ireland and North American editions of The White Review Short Story Prize 2017. Between them we are pleased to publish a new story by the winner of the inaugural short story prize in 2013, Claire-Louise Bennett.
