‘UNCLASSIFIABLE’ BOOK by Andrés Reisinger / REISINGER STUDIO
The work of the multidisciplinary artist Andrés Reisinger cannot be pigeonholed. With his extensive body of work, the Argentine artist living in Spain bridges both the physical and virtual worlds, creating a unique universe. On one day, he crafts fantasy realms inspired by computers, on another, he designs real furniture, and in between, he collaborates with major houses like Dior and Gucci to develop campaigns. And now, his first limited edition book is being released.

'With immense pleasure, I unveil to you all ‘Unclassifiable’, my first ever book. Entirely self-published and available in a limited edition of 1000 copies, ‘Unclassifiable’ has been crafted by the collective genius of philosophers, authors, artists, and curators. More than a simple publication: a transformative journey through art and design, a tactile and intimate odyssey through seven pivotal years of my career, an immersive and vivid tapestry of creativity, and yet another expression of the endless human inventiveness. ‘Unclassifiable’ was conceived as a reflection of a universe of limitless imagination and of a dialogue that is redefining the cultural landscape at large. It is a chronicle not just of my journey but of an era of ceaseless experimentation.

Five different chapters unfold one after the other, presenting my work under diverse abstract and poetic themes, as distinctive as expansive, that capture the essence of my practice. This 348-page hardcover book is a symbiosis of form and emotion; its layout and design mirror the meticulous detail and emotional resonance that I’ve always dedicated to my work and pay tribute to the craft of high-end book creation. ‘Unclassifiable’ is assembled by hand through age-old methods, featuring hand-applied colour plates on fine art paper, reflecting the artisan’s distinct touch.
 
“I believe, and some good critics agree with me, that a new chapter in the long history of our production of artworks and our understanding of their quality and meaning is only just beginning. This paradigm shift coincides, of course, with the advent of digital technologies. In the following pages I shall try to revive these old discussions around mimetics and methectics in an attempt to provide both an introduction to Reisinger’s creations in this context and an explanation why his works constitute a remarkable starting point for anyone willing to explore the new age of fine arts that might now be dawning” states in the book’s forward Florencio Noceti, whom I thank dearly for having accompanied me on this journey, alongside international author David Plaisant and Spanish-Argentinian artist duo Lamas Burgariotti.

I was thrilled to unveil ‘Unclassifiable’ in Paris during Paris+ par Art Basel 2023 at MODES boutique, the global omni-channel luxury retailer, with an installation that also featured the symbol of my practice, Dutch lifestyle brand Moooi’s Hortensia. While at first ‘Unclassifiable’ was conceived to simply represent my artistic journey, it soon grew into a transformative journey itself, of which you are all a crucial part. So, simply, thank you. See you all soon, in the next chapter of this adventure.
 
Yours truly,

Andrés

NEVER AGAIN ...IS NOW! A luminous symbol against antisemitism and for solidarity at Munich City Hall by Jan Kuck / BERNHEIMER CONTEMPORARY
The blue fluorescent neon art piece "NEVER AGAIN" by conceptual artist Jan Kuck serves as a clear symbol and commitment to our Jewish fellow citizens and against the currently resurging global antisemitism.

Due to our historical responsibility, it is imperative that we make every effort and leave nothing undone to ensure that violence, especially against our fellow citizens of the Jewish faith, is never again tolerated, justified, or accepted as a part of our society.

"NEVER AGAIN" is a forward-looking, admonishing call that our unbearably destructive past must never become our present.

Initially displayed in January 2018 at the former city prison of Palazzo Ducale over the rooftops of Genoa as part of the Holocaust exhibition "Segrete. Tracce di Memoria," the artwork has continued to be showcased at various locations. Each exhibition had a mandatory requirement for a connection to the crimes of the Nazis, either through critical content engagement or the exhibition venue.

Locations where "NEVER AGAIN" has been exhibited include:

- 2018: Palazzo Ducale di Genova – Segrete. Tracce di Memoria
- 2022: Foyer of the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in the Congress Hall on the former Nuremberg Nazi Party Rally Grounds as part of the Designwalk.Art exhibition
- 2022: Memorial exhibition for Sophie Scholl in the Klosterkirche Traunstein with the White Rose Foundation e.V.
- 2023: "WORDS ARE OVERESTIMATED" – Solo exhibition by Jan Kuck at Galerie Koppelmann, Cologne

Following the terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, by Hamas on Israel, Jan Kuck, along with fellow artist Richard Wurm, created a storefront display as a solidarity gesture at the ORAG Haus in front of the synagogue at St.-Jakobs-Platz in Munich. Richard Wurm contributed a painting, and Jan Kuck presented his neon artwork "NEVER AGAIN." This initiative led to the idea of displaying this symbol on the New Town Hall at Marienplatz. Through swift collaboration between the Cultural Department, Jan Kuck, and Isabel Bernheimer, "NEVER AGAIN" was showcased on the balcony of the Munich City Hall as a significant statement against all forms of antisemitism.

Given that on November 20, 1941, the first deportation of Jewish individuals from Munich to the so-called Eastern territories occurred, "NEVER AGAIN" will be illuminated on November 20, 2023, as a shining symbol of solidarity and against any form of antisemitism.

"NEVER AGAIN" will be displayed on the balcony of Munich City Hall from November 20, 2023, 7:00 PM, to November 26, 2023, 11:00 PM.

The opening ceremony will take place on November 20, 2023, at 7:00 PM, in the presence of the artist and Cultural Commissioner Anton Biebl, featuring several speakers, including Dr. Hélène Gleitman, the Chairwoman of TAMAD e.V., in the Rathausgalerie in the courtyard of the New Town Hall at Marienplatz.

"NEVER AGAIN" is made possible through the comprehensive support of the Cultural Department of the City of Munich / Public Art Munich.

Gaga, Guadalajara presents: Julien Ceccaldi 'Idol Factory' September 13th - October 21st, 2023
A greedy record producer sells the soul of his submissive music composer to the devil. In exchange, he receives occult ovens that can bake baby birds into singing and dancing wooden dolls. Half-girl, half machines, the gifted humanoids are dressed stylishly by a nurturing choreographer with a unique creative vision. Mass-produced, hardworking and seemingly interchangeable, each puppet secretly has its own impassioned heart that dreams of soaring. They are built for the stage but destiny has got only one spotlight.

Through painting, drawing and comics, Julien Ceccaldi (b. 1987, Montréal, Canada) portrays characters in search of love and success. Inspired by the archetypes of the Shoujo manga tradition, his stories focus on personal and sentimental relationships involving androgynous figures. Tracing along the line between cute and morbid, his work depicts the constraints of fashion and public image.

Ceccaldi lives and works in New York. He has participated in several exhibitions in institutions and galleries including the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; the Consortium, Dijon; Mamco, Geneva; Gaga, Los Angeles and Mexico City; Jenny’s, New York; and Lomex, New York. He has been featured in various publications including Artforum, Frieze and Mould Map, and is the author of several self-published comic books.
