Walter Benjamin: Dreams

Fall 2024

Edited with text by Burkhardt Lindner

Though published during his lifetime, Walter Benjamin’s dream notes and theoretical reflections on dreams are collected here for the first time in a single volume.

Dreams highlights a dimension of Benjamin’s thinking that was invaluable for his writing and thought but which has thus far received little attention. It is a comprehensive and chronological collection of Benjamin’s transcriptions of his own dreams and includes unpublished manuscript materials. The publication also features his theoretical reflections on dreams, ranging from short aphorisms and longer analyses of dream literature and the history of dreams to the political conception of a “dreaming collective” and its awakening.

Editor Burkhardt Lindner describes Benjamin’s literary approach to his own dreams in the epilogue and gives a sketch of Benjamin’s own definition of the dream sphere, independent of and in contrast to Surrealism and Freud’s interpretation of dreams.

Jimmy Robert: The Man Who Envied Women

Summer 2024

Robert’s first substantial overview covering 20 years of work including his most recent exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo, Moderna Museet, Museion, Crac Sète, Nottingham Contemporary and Kunsthalle Baden-Baden.

It will include essays by Kirsty Bell, Elisabeth Lebovici, Bart van der Heide, Karolin Meunier and Çağla Ilk & Misal Adnan Yıldız. Given that Robert’s practice is profoundly engaged with im/materiality, paper, texture and performance, the book will correspond with this approach through formal elements, surfaces and papers.

Robert will also use it as a platform to crystalize his conceptual and dense, as well as open and processual steps in his work into another medium. The publication will further extend the site specifity and spatiality of his exhibitions and re-consider how a body can be perceived in other environments.

school: Object #10

July 2024

In celebration of more than ten years of work, the space and collective school is releasing Object #10, a very special book/LP set with dear artists.

Thinking about a format that would translate the performativity of school‘s events rather than illustrate what has happened, they decided to focus on the voice as an important performative tool and as a live messenger of text. The series of interviews and conversations they initiated stems from their believe in the importance of strangers talking to each other.

As queer-feminist strategies, post-colonial conditions and possibilities of sustainable activism are school‘s cornerstones that nourish their political and private lives, the outcome of the conversations resulted in important and particular exchanges, no matter if on a completely personal or political level.
