1.800,- Vorzugsausgabe "Der Ficker" mit Franz West Stuhl nummeriert
1-79, von den Künstlern signiert
The publication is
a resumption, on Franz West's initiative, of the renowned "Brenner"
- a journal published in Innsbruck by Ludwig von Ficker. The circle that
associated with this journal also included Georg Trakl and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
The text and image contributions of artists and authors and the interviews
that the Austrian writer Benedikt Ledebur conducted with them all revolve
around linguistic and philosophical-historical themes, reflecting the
approaches used by the artists involved and developing a modernist aesthetic
with the conceptuality of collage - all of this in keeping with the tradition
of the "Brenner", but also of the Dadaists and the Vienna Group.
