Issue 17 of frieze d/e looks at images, archives and their dissemination, from Cold War photography in the GDR to the artwork in the digital age.

Something from Nothing
Classifying Everything: Contributing Editor Christy Lange profiles Hamburg-based artist Peter Piller, whose use of found images foreshadowed the way Tumblr has shaped online image culture.  

Gravity’s Rainbow 
Writer and critic Kolja Reichert remembers “the great, awe-inspiring, incorruptible punk of German photography,” Michael Schmidt (1945–2014), and his documentation of an alternative Berlin cityscape.

Radical Archives
Images for a Different Future: Art historian Sarah James takes a long look at GDR photo archives, revealing a lost world of socialist commodities and asks, what can these tell us about East Germany’s projected desires during the Cold War?

Also featuring:
Art historian Susanne von Falkenhausen‘s lament for the work of art in the age of digital circulation; frieze‘s Amy Sherlock gauges the distance between seeing and being seen in the paintings of Ellen Gronemeyer; and critic Esther Buss unearths hidden narratives of power in Jan Peter Hammer‘s films.

Columns & reviews:
Logistics: Cosima von Bonin on the challenges of installing a vomiting sculpture on the façade of mumok, Vienna
History: German author Jan Brandt visits the Wende Museum in LA, the unlikely home to cultural artefacts from the former Eastern Bloc. 
Affinities: Viennese author Stefanie Sargnagel talks about her idol, the Austrian caricaturist Manfred Deix.
Music: On the release of his new album on the DFA label, Berlin-based singer Dan Bodan shares the things he likes to keep close for our regular column “Trouvaille.”

Plus 20 exhibition reviews from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and elsewhere—including a roundup of the “curated by” exhibitions in Vienna, Annette Wehrmann at Badischer Kunstverein and the Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva.
