Raimund Abraham's work stands for radicalism and utopia. As a nonconformist, principal critic, and champion of a fundamental architectural stance, Abraham (1933-2010) campaigned tirelessly for architecture's collective renewal. With the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum Building in New York (2002), he made an outstanding contribution to contemporary architecture. In honor of Raimund Abraham, the MAK, Austrian Museum of Applied Arts Contemporary Art, joined forces with the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna to stage the Vienna Architecture Conference 2010. This publication assembles the lectures, speeches, and discussions held throughout the conference as well as a number of essays written especially for this volume. A DVD documents Raimund Abraham's last lecture, held only hours before his tragic death by accident at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles.

Published for her exhibition at MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, this broad overview of the work of Eva Schlegel (born 1960) documents works ranging from pornographic paintings to works in lead and installations of airplane propellers. Schlegel's installations in particular have never received comprehensive treatment in a catalogue.

Times are changing and so are families. Today’s modern family is facing challenges that rarely, if ever, crossed our minds just a few years ago. Most families today are long on commitment and short on time. They are being pulled in many directions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to connect relationally. Smart phones, mobile technology, work-life balance, relentless hurry and stress seem to be woven into the fabric of their lives. In this much-needed new book, Craig Jutila gives sound and practical advice—drawn from biblical principles, personal family experience, and expertise as a Children’s Ministry leader—on how to raise a strong and healthy family in a modern world, and move from a family that simply survives to a family that really thrives.

'How Many Billboards?' ist eine Ausstellung im öffentlichen Raum von Los Angeles. Sie gibt einen überblick über die lebendige Geschichte und die Entwicklungslinien der Concept Art in Kalifornien sowie über die bemerkenswerte Bandbreite und Vielfalt der Künstler, die sie bis heute beeinflusst. 21 Billboards wurden von Künstlern gestaltet, deren Praxis von kritischem Engagement geprägt ist und die Werke beizusteuern vermochten, die auf das Plakat als Medium reagieren. KüNSTLER Kenneth Anger, Michael Asher, Jennifer Bornstein, Eileen Cowin, Christina Fernandez, Ken Gonzales Day, Renee Greene, Kira Lynn Harris, John Knight, David Lamelas, Brandon Lattu, Daniel Martinez, Kori Newkirk, Yvonne Rainer, Martha Rosler mit Josh Neufeld, Allan Ruppersberg, Allan Sekula, Susan Silton, Kerry Tribe, Jim Welling und Lauren Woods 'The philosophical proposition of the exhibition is simple: art should occupy a visible position in the cacophony of mediated images in the city, and it should do so without merely adding to the visual noise. ›How Many Billboards? Art In Stead‹ proposes that art periodically displace advertisement in the urban environment.' Kimberli Meyer, Direktorin des MaK Center, L. a.
