Florian Böhm Livres

Between urban structures and individual existence, organic and improvised systems emerge. Situated beyond the sophisticated economy and below a level of recognition, they are familiar yet paradoxically invisible. The ordinariness of certain objects is so ubiquitous that they fail to evoke construction barriers, ads on buses, traffic signs, LCD displays, chained-up bicycles, the fa ades of stores, subway maps. Endcommerical / Reading the City conducts a visual research project of urban street territory, compiling signs, objects, and codes within grammatical relationships that unveil embedded social conditions and contradictions. Taking New York as a paradigmatic urban alphabet, Endcommercial / Reading the City orders a seemingly endless array of informal and empirical photographs, demonstrating the distinction between an unconscious visualization of singularities and an intelligent perception of generality. Initiated by the commercial, subject to fictionalization, it is a reference tool engaged in the thoughtful renewal of our visual vocabulary, opposed to the omnipresent iconography we process everyday.

Florian Böhm's recent "Endcommerical/Reading the City," produced in collaboration with Wolfgang Scheppe and Luca Pizzaroni, demonstrated Böhm's infallible eye for the narrative details of city life with a study of what urbanists call "street furniture"--construction barriers, traffic signs and other sidewalk presences. This follow-up, "Wait for Walk, " turns the same cataloging eye to the humans navigating around those urban buoys. Böhm photographs passersby standing before traffic signals: motionless or fidgeting, lost in thought or deep in conversation, staring at nothing or sidetracked by a cell phone, chosen for him and posed for him by chance. Whether New Yorkers or tourists, rich or poor, their shared circumstance, a momentary pause, draws attention to the astonishing wealth of information each projects in posture, expression, clothing and possessions, wearing their identities on their sleeves. Böhm was born in Germany in 1969 and lives in New York.

Der Autor widmet sich der Analyse von Unternehmensführungsverträgen, die in der Praxis und in der Wissenschaft auch als Betriebsführungsverträge oder Managementverträge bezeichnet werden. Das mit diesem Vertragstypus bezweckte Outsourcing von Leitungsaufgaben kann in einem Spannungsverhältnis mit den gesellschaftsrechtlichen Strukturen eines Unternehmensträgers stehen. Der Autor zeigt die Konfliktbereiche auf und versucht, diese mit einem Rückgriff auf das Konzernrecht zu lösen. Zusätzlich untersucht er schuld- und arbeitsrechtliche Aspekte von Unternehmensführungsverträgen.
