Description: The publication is a resumption, on Franz West's initiative, of the renowned "Brenner" - a journal published in Innsbruck by Ludwig von Ficker. The circle that associated with this journal also included Georg Trakl and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The text and image contributions of artists and authors and the interviews that the Austrian writer Benedikt Ledebur conducted with them all revolve around linguistic and philosophical-historical themes, reflecting the approaches used by the artists involved and developing a modernist aesthetic with the conceptuality of collage - all of this in keeping with the tradition of the "Brenner", but also of the Dadaists and the Vienna Group.
