Since 2019, workshop at The University of Fine Arts, Zurich, Departement Fine Arts 

Although society is undergoing a transition from the physical to the digital, the printed book still enjoys great popularity in the arts. The interdisciplinary workshop approach the medium book and questions of publishing in different ways. Typological questions (functionality, task, impression, use, communication) will be discussed as well as practical (how is a book structured, how is it created) and analytical (how can its concept be expanded, etc.).

Marie Lusa works as art director and graphic designer. She is one of the most important graphic designers in Switzerland and has received several awards. The publications she has designed are often created in close collaboration with the artists themselves. In addition to her work as a graphic artist, she is also co-founder of the Paris Internationale art platform and teaches at the ECAL

Ricola is a Swiss global brand, famous for its herbal candies, based in the town of Laufen, near Basel. Since 1975, the shareholders of the still family-owned business have been building the Ricola Collection systematically with a focus on Swiss art. Open to the public and on display in buildings that celebrated Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron have designed for Ricola since 1983, the collection spans more than half a century and represents the latest trends in contemporary art. This lavishly illustrated English-language book offers a lively insight into the collection, its history and presence in Ricola’s corporate life, and places it within the Swiss art scene. Concise comments on a large selection of individual works round off this volume.

MONET MITCHELL explores the artistic parallels between Joan Mitchell (1925–1992) and Claude Monet (1840–1926), who lived and worked in the same area outside of Paris at different moments in time, responding to a shared landscape. Mitchell achieved recognition in the New York scene in the 1950s before gradually settling in Paris at the end of the decade and establishing her studio in 1968 in Vétheuil—where Monet lived for several years. The book establishes a dialogue between Monet’s late works and Mitchell’s paintings following her move to France and the 24 years she spent living and working around Monet’s former residence. The publication includes numerous works by both artists and brings together two exceptional ensembles—Monet’s Agapanthus triptych and Joan Mitchell’s Grande Vallée, a unique and major cycle of 21 paintings. Essays explore the significance of Mitchell’s work from this key moment in her career and the significance of the later paintings of Monet.

A working biography of Parkett Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief Bice Curiger

C IS FOR CURATOR: BICE CURIGER - A LIFE IN ART. Edited by Dora Imhof. Contributions by Katharina Fritsch, Kathy Halbreich, Thomas Hirschhorn, Massimiliano Gioni, Dora Imhof, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nicholas Serota an Philip Ursprung. Walther Koenig, Cologne 2022. 18,5 x 25,8 cm. 404 pages with 209 (80 coloured) pictures. Edition Patrick Frey

This biography by the art historian Dora Imhof illuminates the manifold activities of the curator, editor, and writer Bice Curiger. For the first time all of Curiger's exhibitions are documented and analyzed in depth-from Frauen sehen Frauen (Zurich, 1975) to the 2011 Venice Biennale to her current projects at the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles. Curiger's trajectory is contextualized within the history of curating, the globalization of the art world, and the institutionalization of contemporary art over the last four decades. Statements by leading artists and fellow curators provide personal insights into Bice Curiger's thinking and ongoing work.

Visual Identity and website for Christ & Gantenbein. This corporate identity is based on the use of sans-serif typography, with the typefaces Univers & Rand. The logotype composed in Univers 55, expresses a factual and subtle elegance. The symmetry as a graphic system, brings clarity and a rational equilibrium to the ensemble. All tools of communication follow the logotype guidelines. In addition to the main font Univers, the second font, Rand Black, is used throughout as a small title to proved contrast, as well as work in smaller spaces.The connection between the digital materials (website, icons, social media etc) and the printed materials (stationary, printed presentations, posters etc) can be seen not only in the logotype, but in the general use of symmetry and balance. Every application of the logotype and accompanying text reflects these principals.

The publication Set and Setting: Kerim Seiler 1997–2022 documents the work and activities of the artist Kerim Seiler from the beginnings of his career to the multifaceted large-scale projects that he has realized in public spaces and thus achieved notoriety beyond Zürich and Switzerland. In addition to its work-documentary character, the focus of the book is on imparting art-historical knowledge, because Seiler's oeuvre can be used to explain discourses and theorems that have had a decisive influence on the development of the visual arts over the past 60 years. From installation and performative work concepts to the situational understanding of art and site-specific art - Seiler's oeuvre deals with these and other art theoretical methods and approaches,
