BRUD/ Aditya Mandayam : the ooze

‘The Ooze’ is the twelfth publication in Kunstverein München's ‘Companion’ series, and corresponds to a mid-career retrospective by Brud (Aditya Mandayam and Ada Pola). Brud examines the cultural, political, and technological histories of sight (primarily through linguistic and musicological modes) in order to expose the hidden structural and ideological precursors to contemporary communication. Designed by Julie Peeters, the book contains a compendium of texts in English by Mandayam, reproduced from various sources, in addition to new texts about Brud (in English, German, and Polish) by Chris Fitzpatrick, Kees van Gelder, Andrea Liu, and Michal Novotny.
