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. Die Publikation ist eine von Franz West initiierte Wiederaufnahme des berühmten "Brenner", der von Ludwig von Ficker in Innsbruck herausgegebenen Zeitschrift, zu deren Kreis u.a. Georg Trakl und Ludwig Wittgenstein gehörten. Die Text- und Bildbeiträge der Künstler und Autoren und die Interviews, die der österreichische Dichter Benedikt Ledebur mit ihnen führte, kreisen um sprachtheoretische und philosophiegeschichtliche Themen, reflektieren die Arbeitsmethoden der beteiligten Künstler und arbeiten an einer Ästhetik der Moderne im der Begrifflichkeit der Collage. In der Tradition des "Brenner", aber auch der Dadaisten und der Wiener Gruppe.
