Darum liegt sie auch im Schatten unterirdisch erbaut, soll sie Schutz vor äußeren Feinden bieten. Handel und Kommunikation wurden auf das Nötigste beschränkt. Die Angst ist berechtigt: erst zwei Jahre zuvor wurde ein großer Eroberungsfeldzug zurückgeschlagen. Seither darf keine Karte Lockhavens die Stadt verlassen. Die Stadt soll möglichst unangreifbar sein. Für die Einhaltung dieser Regel sorgt die Wache. Unermüdlich sind die Mäuse unterwegs und kontrollieren die Stadt und die äusseren Territorien. Newcomer David Petersen entwirft in seinem Comic-Erstling ein wundersames Zwischenreich: die Geschichte einer Mäusezivilisation im Mittelalter. Versteckt agieren die Nager in dieser schweren Zeit, in der nicht nur Schlangen, Wölfe und Krabben schier gigantische Feinde sind, sondern auch machtgierige und intrigante Mäuse. Wo kein Feind zu klein ist, um nicht auch ein großer Gegner zu sein, müssen die Mäuse der Wache besondere Größe zeigen. In jedem Moment ihres kurzen Lebens. Dieser Band enthält die ersten 6 Heftausgaben, einen Epilog und weiteres Zusatzmaterial. Weitere Bände sind geplant.

On Curating, Carolee Thea's second volume of interviews with ten of today's leading curators, explores the intellectual convictions and personal visions that lay the groundwork for the most prestigious and influential exhibitions in the world today. Among the aesthetic and theoretical issues raised are the relationship between artist and curator, globalism, post-colonialism, capitalism, the future of cultural tourism and the biennial as spectacle or utopian ideal. As Thea notes in her introduction, "the biennial or mega-exhibition--a laboratory for experimentation, investigation and aesthetic liberation--is where the curators' experience and knowledge are tested. As they negotiate venues for artistic expression, intellectual critiques and humanistic concerns in their own societies and others, they are challenged by the certainties and uncertainties of a constantly evolving future." Thea's interviewees are Joseph Backstein, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Okwui Enwezor, Charles Esche, Massimiliano Gioni, RoseLee Goldberg, Mary Jane Jacob, Pi Li, Virginia Perez-Ratton and Rirkrit Tiravanija. On Curating also includes 50 color illustrations of relevant works by (among others) Kutlug Ataman, Tamy Ben-Tor, John Bock, Cao Fei, Olafur Eliasson, Isaac Julien, Francois & Philippe Parreno, Yvonne Rainer, Michael Rakowitz, Doris Salcedo, Allan Sekula, Yinka Shonibare and Francesca Woodman.

She is contributing editor at ArtAsiaPacific and Sculpture magazine and was the English editor of Atlántica 45.
