What do Vegetarian Apostles, Nature Prophets, and Inflation Saints all have in common?German-speaking, self-styled artist-mystics working from the 1870s throughthe 1930s, they deeply influenced later artist-visionaries Joseph Beuys, FriedensreichHundertwasser, Egon Schiele, Franti ek Kupka, Johannes Baader and Jorg Immendorf,among others. Yet the life and work of these artist-prophets have been largelyoverlooked by art history until now. A Secret History of Modern Art, an encyclopedicscholarly exhibition catalog from Frankfurt, rectifies this omission. Thoroughlyresearched and wonderfully illlustrated, this encyclopedic exhibition catalog describestheir work and demonstrates its influence on future generations of artists who sharedtheir penchant for mysticism as well as their commitment to effecting significant social,personal and economic change. With full chronology, bibliography and illuminatingtext in both German and English by curator Pamela Kort.

Together with a select group of international students from Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles, highly respected architects and architectural theoreticians Hani Rashid and Greg Lynn transformed the United States Pavilion during the Venice Biennale 2000 into a four-week workshop and forum for architectural discourse: a laboratory. Investigating, producing, and reviewing a variety of architectural schemes, the participants demonstrated the practice and direction of a new generation of architects. Architectural Laboratories presents the results of this workshop through 10 projects that focus on the themes "The Embryologic House" and "Augmented Architecture." Guest critiques of the students' designs are offered by philosopher and cultural critic Mark C. Taylor, ZKM chairman Peter Weibel, and Max Hollein, the United States Commissioner for the biennale.
