    Abstract: Venezuelan sculptor Gego (1912–1994) was one of the most important representatives of Latin American geometric abstraction in the mid–twentieth century. Born in Germany as Gertrud Luise Goldschmidt, Gego initially trained as an architect. In 1939, she emigrated to Caracas, where her work in design gradually led to the creation of installations that radically altered the nature of modernist sculpture by actively involving the viewer in the work’s formulation. In her sculptures, Gego countered the deductive logic of modernist abstraction with a fluid conceptualism, reconfiguring “content-less” art into an open-ended process of “thinking the line.” The most comprehensive examination of Gego’s art published in English to date, this monograph contains in-depth analyses by scholars from various disciplines as well as previously untranslated historical texts, providing new perspectives on the artist’s critical relationship to the avant-garde traditions of the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism, to Venezuelan urbanism and kineticism, and to the postminimalist art of the sixties.

    Abstract: Die "Rückkehr der Religion" zeigt sich vor allem als Ereignis im Fernsehen, in Videos und Internet - die Schrift als Ursprung derReligion steht im Hintergrund. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht die künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen. Bekenntnisse von Selbstmord-Attentätern oder religiös-propagandistische TV-Serien und Dokumentationen über aktuelle Sekten und Glaubensgemeinschaften zeigen die Brisanz der neuen religiösenBewegungen. Zwölf wissenschaftliche Beiträge namhafter Theoretikerund Philosophen ergänzen den umfassenden Einblick in die neuemediale Seite von Religion. The new meaning of religion manifests itself almost exclusively intelevision, videos or in the internet nowadays, particularly in the geopolitical hot spots of the Middle East, Asia, Russia, the USA andSouth America. The scripture and the book, the origins of religion, have been pushed into the background. The focus of this volume ranges from artistic perspectives oncontemporary video propaganda to the examination of historical iconography. The explosiveness of these new religious movements is demonstrated in the devotion of suicide-bombers, religiously propagandist TV series and documentation about current sects and denominations. This is complemented by academic contributions from twelve notable theorists and philosophers, delivering extensivein sight into the new media aspect of religion.
