Jahresring - 61: PS:

Meer over het boek

The Jahresring series is a prominent annual journal for contemporary art in Germany, now in its 61st edition. This issue serves as a reader and visual sampler featuring contributions from a diverse group of artists, writers, poets, musicians, choreographers, and designers. It adopts an intertextual and interdisciplinary approach to examine contemporary cultural resonances related to gender and sexuality. The concept of a "PS" or postscript emerges as a space where underlying relations or realities, often unspoken in the main text, are brought to light. This "PS" functions as a site of interpersonal agency, offering a compelling textual gesture that introduces additional layers of meaning. It invites readers to consider what lies beneath the surface, adding nuances like "by the way" and "you know what we're really talking about." While it may appear as a concluding thought, it is anything but final. The Jahresring is published annually on behalf of Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e.V. Contributors include a range of notable figures such as Manuela Ammer, Julie Ault, and Isa Genzken, among others, each adding their unique voice to this rich tapestry of contemporary discourse.
