In three recent video installations, Zachary Formwalt focuses on the architecture of OMA s new Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Amsterdam stock and commodities exchange by H.P. Berlage. Although our economy is dictated by financial transactions, the activity of trading itself has become increasingly remote, without actual human encounter. The architecture of the two buildings serves as a starting point for a investigation into the limitations of photography to represent global capital and into the interrelationships between financial capitalism and image-making.0.

Dutch artists Liesbeth and Angelique Raeven (*1971) do not go with the flow. They refuse to consume food thoughtlessly, they refuse to accept womanhood and the feminine roles society assigns to them, and they also refuse to be labeled as anorexic. Both are fascinated by the image of the body as promoted by the fashion world and in advertising, and they subvert this image in their works. This monograph presents L.A. Raeven|s work of the past ten years. An important aspect of their project is that they turn the tables on conventional interview procedure by questioning renowned specialists in the fields of eating disorders, gender studies, and consumer research. Essays by art historians show where the work fits into the sphere of contemporary art.
