This publication is the first extensive publication on the oeuvre of Dutch artist Barbara Visser (*1966).

Barbara Visser’s works explore the uncertain relationship between registration and dramatization, between notions of original and copy, the natural versus the staged, and the tension between what we call the documentary and the fictitious. Using a wide variety of media and formats, her work sheds a new light on our understanding of civilized man, and the objects with which he surrounds himself.

By rigorously separating text and image, the book offers multiple interpretations, triggering the reader’s own memory and associations.
As Jörg Heiser writes his text on “myths”: “It can be read as an intricate set of experiments exploring three distinct ways of ‘navigating’ myths, and a possible notion of truth that we inevitably need in order to do so. These three different ways, correspond to the three different types of empirical knowledge as defined by Donald Davidson: knowledge about what’s in my mind, in the world, and in other people’s minds.”

Designed by Mevis & Van Deursen and Felix Weigand in close collaboration with the artist.

Many bunkers, forts, churches, castles, hospitals, water towers, post offices, prisons, palaces, and airports are empty. Vacancy Studies provides the architecture world with an optimistic perspective on the temporary reuse of vacant spaces. According to RAAAF (Rietveld Architecture Art-Affordances), there is great potential in vacant public and government buildings. At the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010, RAAAF visualized the gigantic scale of these vacant spaces in an installation called Vacant NL. The worldwide media attention by organizations such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Architectural Review shows the international relevance of their vision for the new field of Vacancy Studies. Designers can make a major contribution to social issues such as vacancy, and this requires new ways of working. The field of Vacancy Studies has been further developed in the practice of RAAAF and by a multidisciplinary team at the Sandberg Institute. This book introduces the design approach of 'strategic interventions', and presents new ideas and experiments. Vacancy Studies is an indispensable reference work for anyone interested in the possibilities of vacant spaces.

This publication "sheds light on the phenomenon of research in the visual arts. In 'artistic research,' practical acts (the making) and theoretical reflection (the thinking) go hand in hand, in a manner similar to creating and thinking being inextricably linked with artistic practice. -- This volume has been written from the perspective of art as practice. The majority of the authors are artists, while several artists provided visual contributions that elucidate the phenomenon of research in art. There are also contributions form theoreticians, who analyse how artistic research works (and how it is productive)"--P.[3] of cover.
