Eva Becker assesses the US financial crisis as a crisis of regulatory data, information and knowledge. Based on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission’s interviews as well her own interviews, and drawing on Capture Theory and recent reformulations thereof, she develops “knowledge capture” as a theoretic framework to assess financial regulation under conditions of 21st century complexity.
Five years have past since the outbreak of one of the worst financial crises the world has ever witnessed. Yet, despite an exceedingly diverse range of publications available to date, central questions have remained unanswered. Indeed, systemic risk has become both a buzzword, and has developed into an acute threat. But what exactly constitutes the very essence of the concept? And might it be considered an economic or rather a political phenomenon? Book jacket.
This catalogue has been published on the occasion of the 100th German Katholikentag 2016, the Reformation jubilee in 2017, and it looks at contemporary artists' views of human beings in our time.In the course of several chapters, dedicated to different aspects of being, people's sensitivities, the unspeakable, the unutterable of their existence and their actions will be shown by means of photography, painting, sculpture, videos and installations.There are images of ourselves that we do not like to look at; there are those that we see again and again and that insert themselves into human lives from birth to death. There are images that are emotional and moving, that accuse and reconcile, that keep asking the same question: what makes us human?Featuring the work of Francis Al�s, Kader Attia, Nathan Coley, Douglas Gordon, Jitka Hanzlov�, Elizabeth Peyton, Bill Viola, Gillian Wearing, and many more.Accompanies the exhibition, BEHOLD the MAN at Kunstmuseum Kloser Unser Lieben Frauen Magdeburg, Germany, 21 May - 5 November 2017.English and German text.
The hopelessness and fear among the gypsies was running high as the train moved towards the unknown. All eyes in the darkness of the wagon focused on one person, an incredibly beautiful woman who called herself Salome, and who appeared out of nowhere at the detention area before their deportation. Her magical beauty was noticed right away by everyone upon their arrival to Auschwitz-Birkenau, including the young SS Colonel, Helmut von Clausen. Ignoring the objections from every cell of his body, he simply could not resist the effects of Salomes beauty. As his dark past surfaced and intertwined with Salomes magic, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place that changes everything in Helmuts life. As Helmut searches for answers, he must come to terms with his inner evil and the possibility that finding the answer to his quest for truth may cost him the ultimate price, his very own life.
