Silver Medal “best book design from all over the world”
The catalogue for the exhibition Chez Schnabel at the Museum der Bildenden Künste Leipzig is being published in conjunction with the 2021 LVZ Art Prize award. This is the first publication by artist Anna Haifisch to give an insight into her approach to making comics. The catalogue brings together sketches, references, haikus, notes, and the new short story 1992—a making-of account composed of wobbly animals, the artist entity, and autobiographical material.
Mouse in Residence published by Spector Books (Leipzig), English edition, 148 pages, 11 × 18 cm, softcover, printed in Pantone purple, ISBN 978-3959055031, November 2021
Fahrenbuehl is a secluded artist residency, inhabited by two mice. It sits in the beautiful, bucolic countryside. Such rural areas are known for their peace and tranquility. A place where one can reflect and nurture ones creativity. However, seclusion and isolation can dampen the spirits. If one wants to preserve paradise, radical means might become necessary. When a mouse decides to play God, paradise quickly transforms into a landscape of suspicion and sabotage.
“The relevance of an artistic work created in seclusion will have to succumb to the alternative visions of the polycultural.” - Cole Mountain Association of Painting and Pewter Wares

The 3rd book of The Artist series is a big bird opera–telling the drama of the rise and the fall of The Artist in poems and songs. Lots has changed since the first two books; The Artist became pretty successful in the meantime, has big museum shows and owns a ton of money. He has everything he has always wanted. And yet his life is one big drama, because he is still a weepy, sensitive artist. He feels excluded from the art market, his love leaves him and he mourns his creative period in poverty.

In five collected comics short stories (The Hall of the Bright Carvings, The Mouse Glass, Fuji-San, Letter to Weasel and A Proud Race), carnivores and herbivores meet at a disastrous congress of the animals; we get to know a merciless, art-collecting lizard; and are introduced to dancing ostriches and a melancholy, meditating octopus. At the end of the day, there is hope, even for crying weasels.

"With around 300 works, the show provides a comprehensive look at Haifisch’s diverse oeuvre, from illustrations and prints to comics and drawings as well as products adorned with her designs. The juxtaposition of fine and applied art sheds light on the artist’s working process while recent pieces such as the Ready America series are also on view, together with a work produced expressly for the exhibition."

An exhibition about humans and pigs and ultimately the world
curated by Inka Schube
participating artists: Max Baumann, Frank Berger, Felix Bielmeier, Pierre Bismuth, Anetta Mona Chişa und Lucia Tkáčová, Anna Haifisch, Jochen Lempert, Arne Schmitt, Wenke Seemann, Maria Sewcz, Maria Sturm, Andrzej Steinbach, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries and Heidi Specker.
I drew 11 portraits of Anja Koch's prolific pigs, the Fläminger Weideschweine, who are lucky to escape the global meat industry. Each pig is named by Anja and can truly live a lush life of grass and puddles on a small piece of land between Leipzig and Berlin. The excellent portrayed pigs were Aschenputtel, Dropsi, Miliszka, Gretel, Eberhard, Hildegard, Roswitata, Klee, Mohn, Wilma and Kuno.

Abendruhe, sanftes Rauschen
Es schwächt mich das Getrudel
Ich würd so gern mein Leben tauschen
ach wär ich eine Nudel
Ich aß ein karges Abendbrot
allein in düstrem Schmerz
Was pocht so laut im Abendrot
Es ist mein armes kleines Herz
Weil ich gar keine Seele seh
wer soll ein Werk hier schaffen
ich lieg in meinem Atelier
besiegt von einem Affen
Diese Stadt ist zugemauert
wie ich hier drin verstaube
Mein Gemüt ist schlimm erschauert
ich wär so gern ne Taube

Friedrichs Hünde, Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (Berlin) KPM, LAB Bowl edition, in collaboration with Sueddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, 2 porcelain bowls, 14,1 × 8 cm, October 2023
Alcmène, Thisbe, Phillis, Arsinoe, Biche and Superbe were Frederick the Great's favorite dogs and adorn the elegant porridge bowls from the LAB series of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin. Frederick adored his wind chimes for their sensitive and affectionate character and instructed that his animals at Sanssouci Palace be addressed in French. He loved the shivering liveliness of his dogs, who were his closest friends and girlfriends, whose deaths he mourned and who are buried next to their master. Superbe († 1763) sat on Frederick's deathbed and when the weak king saw that his dog was shivering with cold, he whispered: “Warm Superbe with pillows.” His last words.
