Taking its title from a Russian word that can refer to the 'texture" of life, painting, or writing, this anthology assembles thirteen key essays in art history and cultural theory by Russian-language writers.

German artist Vera Lutter's large-scale photographs of industrial sites were on exhibition at Dia from October 14, 1999, through June 18, 2000.

He is a filmmaker and film theorist, and has written widely on the history of art. As curator of the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, he initiated an exhibition on the history of the Wide White Space Gallery in Antwerp, the first gallery exhibiting Panamarenko's work.
