Art & Language, Volume 4, Number 3 is an attempt to produce a guide to Ways of Seeing by John Berger et al.
Art-Language, Volume 4, Number 3 is an attempt to produce a guide to 'Ways of Seeing' by John Berger et al. It might be argued that 'Ways of Seeing' has already been dispensed with, that it is obvious to anyone worth talking to that it is a bad book, etc. But it is a paradigm of sorts. It pricks the liberal conscience from the Left and enlightens the inert mass from above. It is widely recommended to art students and to others studying the arts. It suffers from an almost incredible number and variety of defects. Some of them were pointed out long ago, others are made explicit here for the first time. An adequate criticism of 'Ways of Seeing' will be in part the criticism of a paradigm. It will be clear to many readers that this is more than just a criticism stuck to the text. It is a detailed examination of a broad range of attempts at mystification and the conditions of their occurrence.

This award-winning contemporary art book is made completely from the perspective and language of bugs, from the front page to the final chapter, with no human writing and text, only the "writing" of bugs. Inspired by the marks left behind by a cicada walking across his sketchbook, contemporary artist Zhu Yingchun placed boards and "ink ponds" of dark-coloured vegetable juices in his garden for the bugs to crawl through. The resulting marks, were thousands of twisted characters, each with a charm of its own - the language of the bugs. The accompanying booklet explains the artist's concept and QR code links the reader to a video of the process.
"The bugs seem insignificant, but their strokes are beautiful," says Zhu Yingchun. "Art is not just those pieces hanging on walls and placed in exhibition halls. Everything in the world, including every life in nature, has the power to create beauty, and art is all around us.

The event “What is an Art Book?” Volume 4 was hosted by The Modern Language Experiment (TMLE) at Space n.n. during Super BOOKS Weekend at Haus der Kunst, Munich, in 2025.
Today, an art book can occupy many different positions: it may function as a piece of theory, a catalogue of artworks, a printed exhibition, a supplement to an existing work, or a work of art in itself. It can propose future ideas, examine the present, or reflect on what has already passed.
“What is an Art Book?” continues TMLE’s ongoing investigation (since 2012) into the nature of the art book—considering its material, conceptual, industrial, and political dimensions. Building on TMLE’s international network and the Munich art community, more than 50 artists, writers, curators, and practitioners were invited to respond to the project’s title and contribute their interpretation of what an art book means to them and their practice.
During the three-day event at Space n.n., participants produced or presented works that could take many forms: text, drawings, photographs, sculpture, performance, audio recordings, video, or theoretical proposals. The only condition was that the contribution could ultimately be translated into an A4 black-and-white page format for publication.
Over the course of the event, Space n.n. functioned simultaneously as an exhibition space, production site, and platform for discussion, where contributors developed and shared their works as we collectively produced the publication together.
For the closing day, Sluice and Peer Sessions from London were invited to host an artist talk, expanding the dialogue around contemporary publishing and artistic practice.
All participating artists received a copy of the final publication. As with previous editions, copies of the book will be donated to public collections in the UK, and with this fourth volume also to institutions in Munich for the first time.
Die Veranstaltung „Was ist ein Kunstbuch?“ Band 4 wurde von The Modern Language Experiment (TMLE) im Space n.n. während des Super BOOKS Weekend im Haus der Kunst in München im Jahr 2025 veranstaltet.
Heute kann ein Kunstbuch viele verschiedene Funktionen erfüllen: Es kann als Theoriearbeit, als Katalog von Kunstwerken, als gedruckte Ausstellung, als Ergänzung zu einem bestehenden Werk oder als Kunstwerk an sich dienen. Es kann Zukunftsideen vorschlagen, die Gegenwart untersuchen oder über Vergangenes reflektieren.
„Was ist ein Kunstbuch?“ setzt die seit 2012 andauernde Untersuchung von TMLE zur Natur des Kunstbuchs fort und betrachtet dabei dessen materielle, konzeptionelle, industrielle und politische Dimensionen. Aufbauend auf dem internationalen Netzwerk von TMLE und der Münchner Kunstszene wurden mehr als 50 Künstler, Schriftsteller, Kuratoren und Praktiker eingeladen, auf den Titel des Projekts zu reagieren und ihre Interpretation dessen beizusteuern, was ein Kunstbuch für sie und ihre Praxis bedeutet.
Während der dreitägigen Veranstaltung im Space n.n. produzierten oder präsentierten die Teilnehmer Werke, die viele Formen annehmen konnten: Texte, Zeichnungen, Fotografien, Skulpturen, Performances, Audioaufnahmen, Videos oder theoretische Vorschläge. Die einzige Bedingung war, dass der Beitrag letztendlich in ein A4-Schwarz-Weiß-Seitenformat für die Veröffentlichung übersetzt werden konnte.
Im Laufe der Veranstaltung fungierte Space n.n. gleichzeitig als Ausstellungsraum, Produktionsstätte und Diskussionsplattform, auf der die Mitwirkenden ihre Werke entwickelten und austauschten, während wir gemeinsam die Publikation produzierten.
Zum Abschluss wurden Sluice und Peer Sessions aus London eingeladen, einen Künstlergespräch zu veranstalten, um den Dialog über zeitgenössisches Publizieren und künstlerische Praxis zu erweitern.
Alle teilnehmenden Künstler erhielten ein Exemplar der endgültigen Publikation. Wie bei den vorherigen Ausgaben werden Exemplare des Buches an öffentliche Sammlungen im Vereinigten Königreich gespendet, und mit diesem vierten Band erstmals auch an Institutionen in München.

When we hear about change in the Arctic, it’s often related to climate, but Arctic regions are also experiencing dramatic cultural change. In the last two centuries 21 indigenous Arctic languages have become extinct, and even more are now considered endangered. Even the official language of Greenland is ‘vulnerable’ according to UNESCO’s Atlas of World Languages in Danger.
The Polar Tombola explores the issue of endangered languages from the perspective of a poet and book artist. What happens to an individual’s experience of the world when their language begins to disappear? How will future scientists study the Arctic ecosystem without access to specialist vocabularies? What role has the printed word played in the evolution of dialects? How might we visualise language loss? ...

Beiträge von drei Kindern zum Projekt von What is an Art Book?
“What is an Art Book?” has always carried a childlike simplicity, with the open-ended nature of the question inviting many different responses. For the first time since beginning this project, we found ourselves working with children who wanted to participate.
We are genuinely happy and proud of their contributions, which capture the instinctive playfulness and unselfconscious integrity we have always valued when selecting participants. While What is an Art Book? is normally presented in black and white, we decided that this special children’s edition should be produced in full colour.
Thank you to Kai, Romy and Romy for joining us over the weekend and for their wonderful contributions.
Die Frage „Was ist ein Künstlerbuch?“ hatte schon immer eine kindliche Einfachheit, wobei die Offenheit der Frage viele verschiedene Antworten zulässt. Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn dieses Projekts fanden wir uns selbst dabei wieder, mit Kindern zu arbeiten, die teilnehmen wollten.
Wir sind aufrichtig glücklich und stolz auf ihre Beiträge, die die instinktive Verspieltheit und unbewusste Integrität einfangen, die wir bei der Auswahl der Teilnehmer:innen immer geschätzt haben. Während „What is an Art Book?“ normalerweise in Schwarz-Weiß präsentiert wird, entschieden wir, dass diese besondere Kinderausgabe in voller Farbe produziert werden sollte.
Vielen Dank an Kai, Romy und Romy, dass ihr uns am Wochenende begleitet und mit euren wunderbaren Beiträgen unterstützt habt.

Zur Ausstellung im Kunsttempel, Kassel vom 30.08.-06.10.2019.
Die Ausstellung im Kunsttempel zeigt eine Momentaufnahme internationaler Sprachkunst. Mit einer post-digitalen Perspektive werden Arbeiten von gut 60 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus 17 Ländern präsentiert, die Kunst mit Sprache entwickeln und alle in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten schon einmal im Kunsttempel ausgestellt haben. Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog im Kasseler Verlag Jenior.
Kunst mit Sprache ist im Zeitalter von Digitalisierung, Big Data und Social Media besonders gefordert. Individueller Sprachgebrauch kann nicht mehr hinter die Spannung zwischen maschinellem und menschlichem Handeln zurück, das betrifft selbst den Einsatz von Stimme oder Handschrift. Denken und Handeln sind für jeden einzelnen und in allen Gesellschaftsbereichen von Sprache geprägt. Sprachkunst macht diese Entwicklung und Umstände hervorragend anschaulich und reflektiert sie. Sie ist daher zugleich ein sensibles, ästhetisches wie auch hochpolitisches Medium für poetische Erkenntnis und Bildung – sowie für Genuss und Freude. ...

The art world is not a perfect one. This text is thus a reflection, triggered by a personal experience that concerns language, politics, and art. Through it, I hope to bring to light another perspective on how the language and terms we use within institutional discourses and beyond shape our experience.

Edited by Gabriele Wix, By Gabriele Wix, graphic design by Lawrence Weiner, Anja Lutz.
Most of his oeuvre, which comprises more than a thousand language-related works, has already been presented in the German-speaking world—some of it either translated by Weiner himself or conceived using German as a basis. Featuring over 350 works, this is the first list of the English/German works. The artist assumed responsibility for the typography and cover design, as if the publication were one of his own works. Accompanying text and visual documents shed light on the creative process, in-situ installations, and Weiner’s way to work with text.

This issue of Bulletins of the Serving Library doubles as a catalog of sorts to "Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language," a group exhibition curated by Laura Hoptman at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from May 6 to August 27, 2012. It is a *pseudo*-catalog in the sense that, other than a section of images at the back, it bears no direct relation to the works in the exhibition. Instead, the bulletins extend in different directions from the same title, and could be collectively summarized as preoccupied with the more social aspects of Typography.

Wordpharmacy combines the structure of language with the healing principles of various medicaments. Like pills, language is something to be consumed by the body, and in turn it does not only affect our conceptions of things, but it also comes to designate our very corporal movability in the world. Consequently, words are not only something we consume, they are refractory entities that in turn define and consume us. Wordpharmacy can be seen as a poetical gesture endeavouring to let words work their magic from within the body itself. The Wordpharmacy is written and produced by the danish poet Morten Søndergaard. The Wordpharmacy has be shown in several cities like Paris and London and Berlin and Bangor and Tromsø and Voss. The Wordpharmacy is translated into English by Barbara Haveland and designed by Christian Ramsø and is now available in six languages.

"A Set of Lines, A Stack of Paper" is the second in a series of exhibitions and publication based on a wide-reaching research about writing with the title 'Possible Content for 18 Pages'. The original typewritten manuscript of Vilém Flusser's essay 'The Gesture of Writing' provides the thematic and formal-aesthetic foundation for reflecting the act of writing at the intersection of linguistic, visual, physical and spatial communication. 'To write,' says the philosopher about the basic requirements that should lead to a complete piece of writing, we need 'a blank surface, for instance a white leaf of paper, an instrument which contains a matter that contrasts with the whiteness of the paper, the letters of the alphabet, the convention which gives a meaning to the letters, 'orthography' = correct writing, the rules which order that language, what is called 'grammar', an idea to be expressed in a language, and a motive to express that idea'. Understanding the act of writing as a culturally embedded gesture, 'A Set of Lines, A Stack of Paper' covers artistic, literary, as well as curatorial and editorial fields of action and combines them. The book is published on the occasion of the correspondent exhibition at KARST, Plymouth (June 5 - July 5, 2015). The publication comprises an exhibition documentation with installation views and a curatorial statement. Furthermore, the author Maria Fusco situates the concept of the exhibition in an actual context of literature.
The participating visual artists expand the topic of the exhibition with artistic contributions especially made for the book.

The book is published on the occasion of the eponymous performance by Lois Bartel at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin (June 11, 2016) and contains a curatorial-editorial statement by Franz Thalmair. Furthermore, the artist Michalis Pichler and the professor for media theory and aesthetics Oliver Ruf situate the publication in an actual context of literature and criticism.

On a full Moon there must be thousands, maybe millions of photos of the night sky being sent by smart phones. The busy Moon moves much faster around the world these day. At the end of 19th century, N (a student of English literature, who would become very well known as an author of many great works), found himself in London. Since the 17th century, the Edo government had prohibited international trade and travel except with China and Holland for over 200 years. It was only when Matthew C. Perry came to Uraga in 1853 and succeeded with his negotiations, what Japan's new history of forgeign affairs began. Gradually the English language was introduced into the intellectual elite, and a few members were sent overseas to learn the language in order to respond to the needs of the new age. N was one of them.
