Two publications were presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Lothar Baumgarten: Seven Sounds / Seven Circles.” One is a CD set featuring seven audio pieces, phonic compositions with a sculptural character. Accompanying these acoustic works are photographic images and a text by the artist. The second publication is a book edited by Kaira M. Cabañas in cooperation with the Kunsthaus Bregenz. It includes four newly commissioned essays that reflect Lothar Baumgarten’s work and way of thinking, thereby representing the complexity of his artistic standpoint. In addition to the essays, the volume includes an interview with the artist by Christian Rattemeyer, an exhibition history, as well as a selection of Baumgarten’s photographs taken at Denning’s Point on the Hudson River in the years 2003–06. As with previous books by the artist, the form and typography of both publications were conceived by Walter Nikkels for and with Lothar Baumgarten.
