bankleer: finger in the pie (Sternberg Press) (English and German Edition)

Natasa Ilic, Daniela Stöppel, Diedrich Diederichsen, Stefan Kaegi, Dietrich Heißenbüttel

Bankleer's works and projects are distinguished by the use of an exceptionally wide range of media and formats and the employment of different formal languages. The group's activities defy easy classification and assignment: performances in public spaces, video installations, sculptures, drawings, editorial and curatorial projects. Almost all their works share an immediate reference to political and social developments, addressing current issues from a perspective defined by bankleer's anti-capitalist views and their critique of economic structures. This monograph features in depth essays on their work as well as an annotated image section, highlighting recent projects and deployments.
