"Founded in 1987, Portikus is one of the most important alternative exhibition spaces in the world. This catalogue studies its role in the art world and the seminal exhibitions which have been held at its beautiful premises in Frankfurt am Main."
"The works of Turkish artist Ayse Erkmen exist almost exclusively as ephemeral scenarios. They are created around exhibition venues, experienced in situ and then seen later only in photo documentation. This volume collects 40 of her most important works since 1985."

"The American artist Joe Scanlan has designed the latest long-term project for the large, spectacular area beneath K21's glass cupola. In the centre a 'wandering', modular pavilion of lightweight construction has been erected. Due to the constant reconstruction of its basic form, this edifice slowly 'moves' across the four wings of the building. Inside, works by the artist make up a small retrospective, once again in changing constellati ..."

"Many of the works of Gego (1912–1994) can be turned around, walked around or walked through, so that their composition seems to be constantly changing. Filigreed and minimal, so light that they almost seem to dance, her grid sculptures can be hung like reliefs in front of walls or positioned freely in space.

Often grainy, sometimes verging on abstraction, and sometimes focusing minutely on the activity of some tiny creature, his photographs exude a simple pleasure in fleeting tranquility.

"Jan Albers (b. Wuppertal 1971, grew up in Namibia; lives and works in Dusseldorf) represents a young generation of conceptual artists whose work returns time and again to the language of modernism, scrutinizing it and exploring its expressive dimensions. His objects are neither sculptures nor reliefs; his pictures, neither pure drawing nor painting nor collage. Albers conquers new terrifoty for art, demonstrating that is, even after mod ..."
