Ant Macari
Kelly Richardson
Legion
texts by Kelly Gordon, Alistair Robinson, Holly Hughes, Louis Grachos, Ryan Doherty
edited by Alistair Robinson, Ryan Doherty
Ant Macari is one of the most exciting young artists in England, working across every conceivable medium, from drawing and wall drawing, installation, sculpture, performance, and video. Macari was one of the few British artists to be selected by the New Museum, New York as one of the most promising artists worldwide under 32 for their exhibition and catalogue, Younger Than Jesus, and has had a solo show at Baltic, performed at Tate Modern, and been awarded commissions by Project Space Leeds, Locus+, Side, the Grundy Art Gallery and Leeds Art Gallery amongst others. His work has drawing and writing at its centre. It makes reference to different orders of image-­making and myths, from tattoo and outsider art to heraldry and medieval illuminated manuscripts. By combining different sources and genres, Macari encourages a close reading of the cultures he makes reference to.
Canadian artist Kelly Richardson is one of the leading representatives of a new generation of artists working with digital technologies to create hyperreal, highly charged landscapes. Richardson creates video works that imagine an array of possible futures for humankind. She draws on the imagery of science-­
¿FWLRQFLQHPDOLWHUDWXUHDQGWKH
history of landscape painting to visualise the kinds of relationships mankind may yet have to the natural world. Richardson has been selected for the Beijing, Gwangju and Busan biennales, and collected by major museums across the USA and Canada, from the Hirshhorn Museum Washington to the Musée d’art contemporain de Montreal. This book is a comprehensive look at her work to date. It accompanies a touring exhibition Legion initiated by Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art with Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool;; Towner, Eastbourne;; Albright-­Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo;; and the commission of Mariner 9 by Tyneside Cinema.

A Hundred Seas Rising
Humancraft: Contaminating Science with Art
Venice Takeaway
Institution for the Future
Suki Chan
edited by Joanne Bushnell, Suki Chan
A Hundred Seas Rising explores how literature might be implicated in the imagination and trajectories of revolutions. Inspired by Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities and the Hundred Flowers Movement in 1950s China, Suki Chan asked 100 contributors, of all ages and diverse backgrounds, ‘What is your revolution?’ Their recorded responses could be heard as part of a large sound installation and can be read within the publication alongside exhibition images and related texts. Suki Chan was born in Hong Kong and lives and works in London. She graduated from Goldsmiths in 1999 and completed an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art in 2008. Her recent solo shows include Sleep Walk Sleep Talk, a major video installation commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, shown at Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of London. Published to coincide with the exhibition A Hundred Seas Rising at aspex, Portsmouth, 18 May – 2 September 2012.

about developments in the ‘life’ sciences and changes in culture, society and language. Over the last three decades Czarnecki has worked in collaboration with biotechnologists, computer programmers, dancers and sound artists. Through sampling, generating and re-­processing images and sound, Czarnecki transforms gallery spaces to create unique, immersive experiences. This publication does not purport to be an exhibition catalogue in any traditional sense, but rather a place to connect ideas and provoke discussion.

edited by British Council/Architectural Association
This title is published alongside the British Council’s presentation, Venice Takeaway: Ideas to Change British Architecture in the British Pavilion at the 13th Venice International Architecture Biennale, 29 August – 25 November 2012. The exhibition presents the work of 10 architectural teams that have travelled the world in search of imaginative responses to universal issues. It charts their course in Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Thailand and the USA, and demonstrates the creative potential of sharing ideas across borders. Research, in the form of SKRWRJUDSK\GUDZLQJ¿OPDQG
objects, is displayed as an ‘emporium of ideas’ alongside a series of polemical proposals. These take several different forms, expressing the participants’ own approaches to architecture.

edited by Alex Hodby, Biljana Ciric, Sally Lai
International artists, curators, and other cultural workers were invited to contribute to a collection of ideas for an institution of the future. Building an archive around the notion of an institution for the future, the publication attempts to initiate a discussion of the following across a broad professional network: What kind of institution is actually needed? What could be the actual model for an institution that we are hoping to establish in the future? These are only some of the questions that are hoped to be explored through the development of an archive of ideas. This publication shares the same title as the exhibition Institution for the Future, presented as part of the Asia Triennial Manchester, 2011, curated by Biljana Ciric and Chinese Arts Centre.

An Artist Residency on the Olympic Park
artist: Neville Gabie
edited by Simon Grennan
Between 2010 and 2012, Neville Gabie was Artist in Residence for the Olympic Delivery Authority. Focusing on the emerging world-­
scale and world-­class development of the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, Gabie created a suite of new artworks that approach one of Great Britain’s largest construction projects in terms of the human body, DQGUHÀHFWXSRQWKHSHUVRQDODQG
social experiences of such a huge undertaking. This book presents and illuminates the temporary artworks made by Gabie, in which representations of duration and distance draw together the physical construction of the Olympic Park and the extremities and habits of human performance. Encompassing SKRWRJUDSK\¿OPLQVWDOOHGREMHFWV
durational actions and a uniquely curated historic exhibition, the artworks reveal the sheer complexity and achievement of building both an Olympic Park and creating a new resource for London, expressing the excitement, uncertainty and triumph of going to great lengths.

Swandown
artists: Andrew Kötting, Iain Sinclair
Swandown is a travelogue and odyssey of Olympian ambition;; a SRHWLF¿OPGLDU\DERXWHQFRXQWHU
myth and culture. It is also an endurance test and pedal-­marathon in which Andrew Kötting (the ¿OPPDNHUDQG,DLQ6LQFODLUWKH
writer) pedal a swan-­shaped pedalo from the seaside in Hastings to Hackney in London, via the English inland waterways. With a nod to Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo and a pinch of Dada, Swandown documents Kötting and Sinclair’s epic journey, on which they are joined by invited guests including comedian Stewart Lee, writer Alan Moore and actor Dudley Sutton. This was a perilous journey, akin to the river voyage of Bogart and Hepburn in The African Queen. It was also, for Kötting, a tribute to the legendary performer, traveller and conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, who in 1975 was lost at sea attempting to cross the Atlantic in a pocket cruiser. Swandown was commissioned by the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) Festival and premiered at Cornerhouse, Manchester in summer 2012.

Wonder Chamber brings together various bodies of work produced by Ingham over the last decade in the form of ‘an imaginary museum with its interconnected spaces for the display of seemingly disparate and eclectic objects and artefacts’. A key element of Ingham’s practice is to play on and subvert the way objects are collected, archived and displayed in science museums, putting them in the service of contemporary art. Engaging with science, playfully mimicking and reconstructing its ideas and methods, the artist sheds light on the complex process of technical, biological and cultural formation that both VKDSHVRXUIXWXUHVDQGGH¿QHV

Jo Longhurst
texts by Charlotte Cotton, Sara Knelman, David Drake
Jo Longhurst’s new body of work develops her interest in perfection. She turns her enquiry into notions of the ideal body to the pursuit of perfect performance, exploring the physical and emotional experiences of elite gymnasts in training and competition. The works incorporate classic photographic portraiture, appropriated photographs and hybrid photographic works inspired by Plato’s perfect solids, and Popova and Rodchenko’s revolutionary experiments with aesthetic forms for the construction of a new, Utopian society. The book reveals how Longhurst worked with a body of original photographic source material, sketches and studies made as visiting artist at Heathrow Gymnastic Club and at the World Gymnastics Championships. Published to accompany the exhibition at Oriel Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno, 16 June – 30 September 2012 and Ffotogallery, Cardiff, 20 October – 8 December 2012.

Dicky Star and the Garden Rule follows young couple Laura Morris and her boyfriend Jeremy through the turbulent days at the end of April 1986 when the world’s worst nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of the former Soviet Union. Jeremy and Laura’s story is told in vivid daily chapters that follow the unfolding disaster’s impact in the UK, but are also determined by their own quixotic puzzle: each chapter must be told using all of the answers to the Guardian Quick Crossword from that day in 1986. Drawing on newspaper archives of the former independent left-­wing weekly Leeds Other Paper and the then still broadsheet Guardian, Tony White creates an evocative story of mid-­
1980s life. This book accompanies a touring exhibition of works by Jane and Louise Wilson entitled Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), commissioned in April 2010 as a response to the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.

This catalogue focuses on works on paper by the Hungarian artist Károly Keserü: drawings of graphite and ink, watercolours and collages, also the folded, crumpled, embossed, punched and punctured papers in which the medium and the process become the subject. Showing a wide range of formal means, Keserü’s works on paper tend to be more expressive, experimental and playful than his paintings. ‘It was always most important for me to present something enjoyable, visually engaging through the complexity of colours and resonating forms. This might be an old fashioned formalist view, but I still believe in this kind of painting. The meticulous execution is also crucial to me. Well crafted, handmade art – we could call it ‘Retro-­Avant-­Garde’ or ‘Retro-­garde’ – still has the power to remind us of the physicality of being human’. (Károly Keserü). Included is an interview with Károly Keserü conducted by Martina Fortuni and a letter from Richard Rijnvos to the artist.

exploring an absurdist premise: that intellectual achievement can be ranked or scored according to a points system. The exhibition was based around the cover designs of the Fontana Modern Masters series, a set of pocket guides published between 1970–95 on eminent writers, scientists and philosophers such as Proust, Freud and Sartre. This catalogue includes full colour images of the works and photographs of the works in Jamie’s studio, and is accompanied by a text of the artist in conversation with Martin Holman.

Light, published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery (21 January – 28 April 2013), includes some of the most visually stimulating and compelling artworks created using light since the 1960s, as well as newly commissioned artworks by contemporary artists. Featuring over 25 artists, Light takes as its starting point the sculptural use of light as a way of altering our perception of space in contemporary art. Individual artworks featured here explore aesthetic possibilities – colour, duration, black light, shadows, QDWXUDODQGDUWL¿FLDOOLJKWSURMHFWLRQ
– through immersive, experiential environments. The use of light as a means of expressing more socially or politically-­driven concerns is also addressed, as are the inroads made by cutting-­edge technology in contemporary light installation;; LEDs, lasers and computer-­controlled lighting all make an appearance in these works. +D\ZDUG3XEOLVKLQJ…WEF

Artist-­couple Boyd & Evans have been working together since 1968. Their paintings, while highly representational, have a perspective, scale and composition that often edge closer to the surreal. The air feels thin, time frozen and gravity suspended in their dreamlike pictures. Photography has also become more central to their work in recent years, with shocks of colour penetrating landscapes of the American Southwest.

Embodied Memories
texts by Jennifer Anyan, Claire Masset, Samantha Erin Safer
Embodied Memories, a project by artist and fashion stylist Jennifer Anyan, is set in a temporary shop location in central Southampton. The exhibition showcases startling new artworks that are made to be worn. Poised between sculpture and couture, the works are based on recollections of items purchased from the city’s old Tyrrell & Green department store. Developed from research undertaken with local people, Jennifer’s subtle reinventions are touching, at times humorous but always respectful, and explore the distance between memory, communication and interpretation. Embodied Memories was commissioned by the John Hansard Gallery and developed through Art at the Heart, a partnership of key arts organisations in Southampton working to bring the city’s emerging cultural quarter to life. Supported by Solent Research & Enterprise and CREADM. Published to accompany the exhibition, Embodied Memories by Jennifer Anyan at John Hansard Gallery, 9 May – 30 June 2012.

In September of 2011, Nick Stewart spent a week driving along and across the Irish border. At each crossing, he recorded factual details of the landscape. Screen-­grabs of the places he visited taken from Google Maps are presented in this project, as much for their aesthetic qualities as for any relation to the artist’s actual experience of those sites. The book’s title refers to the peculiar relation of geography to politics in Ireland. ‘North’ both indicates a direction and a national identity: the North. The same is true of ‘South’. Nick Stewart was born and brought up on the north coast of Northern Ireland. The contrast between the beauty of the landscape of his birth place and the traumatising reality of its religious and political divisions remain a formative perception of the place that still informs his art today.

edited by Juri Steiner, Melanie Dankbar
Hans Arp was one of the most LQQRYDWLYHDQGLQÀXHQWLDODUWLVWVRI
the twentieth century. With a playful hand and a multifaceted practice that included sculpture, relief, painting, collage and poetry, Arp juggled the dominant art currents of Cubism, Surrealism and Constructivism, combining seemingly contradictory geometric and organic formal idioms with the artistic ‘-­isms’ of his epoch. In 1916, Arp was invited by Hugo Ball to take part in the Cabaret Voltaire at Spiegelgasse 1 in Zurich. The now iconic event marked the birth of Dadaism and the beginnings of a long overdue breakthrough for Arp. Ovi Bimba is a revelatory publication exploring these early years of Arp’s practice, focusing on his time in Zurich during the birth of Dada to his sculptures in the 1940s and 1950s. This publication positions these diverse pieces alongside those of Arp’s fellow artists, including his wife, Sophie Taeuber-­Arp. Published with +DXVHU:LUWK=XULFK/RQGRQ New York. Art and the City

For Thomas Hirschhorn, one of today’s most talked-­about artists, video has always been a favoured medium of expression. Since the early 1990s, he has created stand-­
alone video works, or used the medium to record performances and complete three-­dimensional installations with his so-­called ‘integrated videos’. His video work demonstrates the economy of means, the formal energy, and direct strength as well as the political and aesthetical conscience he has shown for 25 years in his oeuvre. This unique anthology brings together 12 video works made between 1993 and 1996 – such as Les Monstres, Lust For Live, Robert Walser Video, and Otto Freundlich Fan – as well as a selection of ‘integrated videos’ realised between 1997 and 2010.

may also take the form of longer spoken word poems intended for performance readings, again investigating the formats of repetition and variation, but with more of a rhythmic and musical structure tied to memory training techniques and oral tradition. Substantial parts of the book’s material are in fact gathered as ‘loans’ from other artists, forming something of a mini-­
collection of language-­art practices and references from Zurich and Berlin Dada, Futurism, Vorticism, Lettrisme, and onward to more contemporary formulations from artists such as Ferdinand Kriwet and Shannon Ebner. Published as a joint collaboration with Kunsthalle Zürich and Bergen Kunsthall.

he says that it ‘works against the two foundations of the European tradition: Belief and Architecture.’ Sculpture, seen as the coming together of object, image, and word, is fundamental to his practice, but he is also a poet, essayist, and educator. Durham’s life as an artist began in the mid-­1960s in Texas. In the early 1970s he worked in Geneva. In the late 1970s he was a political organiser with the American Indian Movement, Director of the International Indian Treaty Council and its representative to the United Nations. Between 1987 and 1994 he was based in Mexico, and thereafter in Europe. Published to accompany Durham’s exhibition at M HKA, Antwerp, this book is a comprehensive retrospective featuring more than 100 works from all his creative periods.

With an assemblage of images and texts, which sometimes explain and sometimes glorify, this book traces the history and future of a crackpot idea that in its best moments has touched people (musicians, artists, photographers, designers, fashion groupies, and nightclub geeks), inspiring something between heavenly splendour and earthly joy.

‘If you were to ask me what I do, I would say I draw – this is the primary activity and that all my work has this in common regardless of idiom or material.’ (Roni Horn in a letter to Paulo Herkenhoff, 2003). In the mid-­1980s, Horn began developing a drawing technique using pigment and cut and arranged paper. The drawings carry a strong physicality which may best be compared to architecture. For the past two decades, drawing has remained an essential part of Horn’s practice. Selected Drawings 1984–2012SUHVHQWVIRUWKH¿UVW
time a comprehensive selection of Horn’s drawings, ranging from the artist’s initial work with pigment and varnish on index cards in the mid-­
1980s to the large-­scale and extreme complexity of the recent drawings. Published with Hauser & Wirth =XULFK/RQGRQ1HZ<RUN

His approach successively deals with issues such as the permanence of things and the digital manipulation of reality, questions of knowledge and transmission, of how to produce forms, and how they evolve. Introduced by a retrospective essay by French art critic and curator Stéphanie Moisdon, this book is a selective overview of the artist’s production, accompanied by a conversation with British artist Liam Gillick, and a focus on the Characters to be reactivated series by French art critic and theoretician Nicolas Bourriaud.

In his performances – which often extend over several weeks or months – the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson explores not only his own physical and psychological limits and the essence of early performance art, but also the artist’s status and the different images of his role. For his installation The Schumann Machine (2008), created for Manifesta 7, he spent several hours every day for two weeks singing the cycle of songs Dichterliebe (1840) by Robert Schumann (1810–1856). The characteristic features of his performances are the melancholy, but also absurdly comical moments. This ERRNXQLWHVIRUWKH¿UVWWLPHDOORI

KwieKulik sought to reconcile artistic praxis with everyday life, essentially based on the premise that form is a fact of society. The couple’s pioneering approach to ¿OPSKRWRJUDSK\DQGPXOWLVFUHHQ

This comprehensive monograph documents their collective works from 1971 to 1987, illuminating the radically unique position of the artists in the history of neo-­avant-­garde in Central Europe.

Theodor W. Adorno described artworks as windowless nomads, for it is through their double character as both autonomous and ‘fait social’ that unsolved antagonisms of reality return in them as immanent problems of form. Socially committed contemporary artists, however, experiment with other spheres of reference. They involve human beings as actors in communicative processes of reality construction, thus creating new spaces of possibility. The New Relations in Art and Society conference hosted by the Campus Museum of the Art Collections of the Ruhr-­University of Bochum (RUB) considered this challenge and took the exhibition Mischa Kuball: NEW POTT and the conference as their starting point. This publication is part of the series of artists’ projects edited by Christoph Keller. -53_5LQJLHU…

Paulina Olowska’s work demonstrates an interest in Communist Poland’s fascination with Western consumerism and celebrates the spirit and stylish improvisations of the ‘Applied Fantastic’ – a term coined by Polish writer Leopold Tyrmand in 1954, to describe the vernacular re-­creations of Western styles. In her paintings, collages, and knitted works, Olowska incorporates text and graphics from found illustrations or images that have a decidedly ‘behind the Iron Curtain’ look, while paying tribute to American Pattern and Decoration art of the 1970s and its use of non-­

Luigi Ontani holds a singular position in the contemporary art landscape. Dealing since the beginning of the 1970s with such notions and topics as identity and sexuality, the sacred and the profane, the hybrid and the kitsch, and Occidental and Oriental cultures, he creates a corpus of DUWZRUNVWKDWDUHTXDOL¿HGE\WKHLU

Whether in his photographic portraits in which he impersonates Leonardo, Dante, Pinocchio, or San Sebastian, in his ceramic or papier-­mâché sculptures, in his large paintings, or in his early video works, he affects a new reading of art history, postmodernism, and appropriation strategies. This volume features a complete chronology of the artist. Published on the occasion of Luigi Ontani’s touring exhibition at Castello di Rivoli, Turin;; Le Consortium, Dijon;; and Kunsthalle Bern.

Raymond Pettibon is mostly known for his comic-­book-­like drawings to which he appends disconcerting and sarcastic texts. Capturing marginal American youth, its disillusionment and antagonism toward society, Pettibon’s subject matter is often violent and brutal. As well as artist’s books, fanzines, and prints, Pettibon’s production includes animations and large wall installations. This publication focuses on Pettibon’s works made between 2006 and 2011. It is the ¿UVWFRPSUHKHQVLYHFODVVL¿FDWLRQ

William Pope.L is a visual and performance-­theatre artist and educator who makes culture out of contraries and confronts issues of race, sex, power, consumerism, and social class. His extended corpus of drawings deals with the absurdities and perversities of intentional language, especially racist language and language associated with categorising and naming colour. Black People Are Taut, Brown People Are The Green Ray, Blue People Are What We Do To Homosexuals, French People And Roma, Purple People Are The Perfect Cone For The King Not His Body, are some examples of this on-­going series made by the self-­
proclaimed ‘friendliest black artist in America’. This book offers a selection of drawings, made between 1997 and 2009, some sketches and two critical texts by artist and writer Iain Kerr and Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston) Helen Molesworth, as well as one of the artist’s own texts.
For the past decade, Pamela Rosenkranz has sought to collapse the meaning of the artwork into the meaninglessness of pure materiality. In challenging these conditions of art, she activates a contemporary form of nihilism. From paintings produced from the foil of emergency blankets or Ralph Lauren-­branded latex paint and soft drinks, to plastic ZDWHUERWWOHV¿OOHGZLWKVNLQRUXULQH

How can one think about and make a group exhibition today? This is one of the questions this publication could answer based on the experience of Balthazar Lovay, a Swiss artist and a co-­founder of the independent art space Hard Hat in Geneva. Invited to organise an exhibition at Le Manoir de Martigny in the Swiss Alps, he responded by creating a kind of mental universe in which left and right cerebral cortexes could at last talk to each other. To achieve this, he brought together 60 international and local artists, photographers, and press cartoonists, and juxtaposed contemporary artworks with medieval devotional relics and so-­called ‘art brut’. As a literary extension of the exhibition $GYHQWXUH5HÀHFWLRQDQG
Ambush, this book offers a photo-­
report of the successive sections and a conversation between Balthazar Lovay and Swiss art critic and curator Daniel Baumann, co-­curator of the Carnegie International 2013.
edited by Nicolas Trembley
Whether it is a question of Sgrafo vases, of Raymond Loewy’s Form 2000 for Rosenthal (1954), or of the improbable Fat Lava glacis of the 1970s, postwar German ceramics attest to a surprising stylistic inventiveness and diversity. Through these creations, both well-­known and anonymous designers knew how to capture the impulses of a society in the middle of reconstruction and desirous of looking to the future. Mixing references to Op art, the geometry of a Verner Panton, or the vegetal style of the hippie wave, these objects follow a path of exaggerated shape unique in the history of forms. In this sense they simultaneously incarnate the inevitable bombacity that menaces design, and its aspirations to autonomy as a quasi-­artistic practice. It is this crossing of intentions and this body of supposedly ordinary objects that this publication explores, with a text by the specialist Horst Markus, and an interview with the designer Ronan Bouroullec.

Since her debut exhibition in New York in 1965, Sturtevant has notoriously insisted on the power of thought, performing investigations into the underlying structure of art. Her legendary repetitions of works by other artists is a groundbreaking achievement in challenging concepts such as originality, authenticity, and the conventions surrounding DXWKRUVKLS+HU¿UVWDUWLVWLF
statements are contemporary with, or indeed predate, the most famous essays and lectures on the subject by Barthes, Foucault, and Deleuze. In recent years, Sturtevant has expanded her practice to include mass-­media images and her own ¿OPHGPDWHULDO7KLVKDVVKHGQHZ
light on her career and emphasises how her life-­long artistic practice has continuously and effectively levelled harsh, rebellious, and intelligent critique at a society that consists increasingly of simulacra and the experience industry.

Charline von Heyl’s painting displays an amalgam of the most diverse effects, which generate vibrating energies and tensions: dynamic forms enfold graphic structures, dazzling colours encounter muted shades, abstract gestures collide with WKHÀHHWLQJPHPRU\RIVRPHWKLQJ
real. Heyl creates pictures that, as she says in her own words, ‘have the iconic value of signs yet always remain ambivalent and mysterious in their meaning...’ Now or Else offers an in-­depth insight into von Heyl’s fascinating oeuvre and shows a focused selection of paintings dating from the mid-­1990s as well as some current works on paper. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Charline von Heyl: Now or Else at Tate Liverpool, 24 February – 27 May 2012;; and at Kunsthalle Nurnberg, 11 July – 30 September 2012. Like poems, Wilma Hurskainen’s photographs perceptively link poetry with humour, and open up spaces of associations to our own experiences of the spectator. In her No Name series, Hurskainen, who has strong connections with the Helsinki School, explores the themes of childhood and memory. Childhood and adulthood are present, like layers, in the same photograph. By loosely attaching texts to the images, Hurskainen recreates memories (including those that are false and invented) and continues their visual representation. +HUPDLQREMHFWLYHLVWR¿QGRXW

Anton Henning links together a network of ironic borrowings and references from recent art history that extends to the era of Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. Interiors, VWLOOOLIHVDQGSLQXSQXGH¿JXUHV
are surrounded by and steeped in abstract patterns and arabesques. In his latest series of works, the artist responds to a male nude painted by Théodore Géricault (1791–1824). His treatment of colour and visual space makes it clear that in studying Géricault’s work he is primarily interested in the possibilities offered by painting. .HUEHU9HUODJ…

IN VIEW is the second volume of a publication series on the Wemhöner collection. Focusing on one of the most important areas of the collection, this publication provides an exciting glimpse into contemporary photography’s wide-­
ranging trends. The spectrum covered here ranges from the classical portrait to time-­exposure landscape photography, the nude and fashion, digitally edited photographs, staged photographs and performance, all the way to overpainting and collage.
text by Ilya Kabakov
In parallel with his work as a graphic artist and illustrator in the Soviet Union, Ilya Kabakov also focused on painting very early in his career. Painting has also been a key feature of the countless installations that he has produced in recent decades. ‘The tradition of depicting ‘reality’ demands the depiction of an object D¿JXUHWKLQJVEXLOGLQJVHWF
against the background of some space, and the resulting principle has not radically wavered over the course of the entire history of art. This principle is rejected in the works presented here: the viewer sees only space against the background of other space.’ (Ilya Kabakov) .HUEHU9HUODJ…

Fabian Marcaccio moves between genres. Painting is always his starting point;; from there, he strikes out into real space in various ways, including monumental installations and works with sculptural dimensions. Recently, Marcaccio has increasingly focused on current sociopolitical themes. The title of his exhibition and catalogue, Some USA Stories – and the series of twelve new works – refer to the dark side of recent American history: the Waco disaster in Texas, the mass suicide decreed by Jim Jones in Guyana, the Fallujah massacre in Iraq, and the student murders at Columbine High School. .HUEHU9HUODJ…

In Floating, photographer Jens Nagels takes us on a journey through Southeast Asia. From one place to the next, adrift from one encounter to another, he takes everything in with the watchful eye of a traveller. He records everyday life with his camera, even things that perhaps do QRWVHHPLPSRUWDQWDW¿UVWJODQFH
But he overrules this and takes these things with him because they are actually unique. The result is a mosaic of photos, sorted in groups and according to themes, which invites us to look more closely, make comparisons and discover the everyday and cultural rites.

Together with his artist friends Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Leon Kossoff, the American artist R. B. Kitaj was one of the pioneers of DQHZW\SHRI¿JXUDWLYHDUWLQWKH
1960s. Ten years later, in the mid-­
1970s, Kitaj positioned himself as a Jewish artist and saw himself as an instigator of a modern Jewish art movement. It is worth rediscovering the importance of this aspect of Kitaj’s oeuvre. Strong colours and a wealth of motifs and pictorial citations, which add to the mystery of the painting, are characteristic of all his works. Published to accompany the exhibition Obsessions: R.B.

At the invitation of the Vienna Natural History Museum, Daniel Spoerri is embarking on an unconventional dialogue with objects in the museum’s collections. He juxtaposes his works of art with the collections, having been inspired to some of his assemblages by his tours of the museum. The dialogue is ‘incompetent’ insofar as Spoerri GLVSHQVHVZLWKDVFLHQWL¿FDSSURDFK

This publication allows us to look at Spoerri’s works in a brand-­new light by revealing in a thoroughly unusual manner the artist’s enthusiasm for museums of natural history, natural-­history collections, and the high art of collecting.

‘The drawings I make are a way of trying to understand what my imagination would like. A long time ago, I wrote about what I meant by “drawing”, and why I don’t use this term when I “draw” on a sheet of paper. For me, drawing is found in my works, in situ, shapes that form in space, walls that are built and that form curved, straight and broken lines. Anything that helps me clarify certain thoughts, on the other hand, constitutes a “graphic sketch”. My handwritten texts fall into this category.’ (Daniel Buren, March 2012).

The beholder is compelled to engage with the formal language of highly condensed sculptures made of industrially produced materials that assemble repetitions and variations of individual modules into expansive overall compositions. This publication is designed as a handbook offering a systematically structured overview of Jan De Cock’s art. Detailed descriptions interweave to produce an encyclopaedic wealth of details and minute observations that ultimately call the very idea of the organised survey in question. The artist himself has already published six so-­called ‘Cahiers’ that, together with this handbook, illustrate his preoccupation with a twentieth-­

After the second world war, a number of painters in different parts of the world began to attack painting’s fundamental assumptions in ways that were at once both aggressive and playful. The creative act itself was as important as the painting that resulted from it. In this borderland between painting and performance, chance or the spectator were often recruited as co-­creators of the work. In recent years, interest in performance art has increased, and with it interest in its roots. Explosion! Painting as Action explores the connections and cross fertilisations between painting, performance and conceptual art.

Hans-­Peter Feldmann rose to prominence in the early 1970s, earning worldwide acclaim for his expansive and encyclopaedic photographic series. Often presented in the form of books, posters, postcards and installations, these collections link Feldmann’s life-­long fascination with collecting elements of visual culture. Among the earliest works is a series of booklets titled Bilder (Pictures), each consisting of a collection of photographs of everyday subjects or situations. His Time Series, produced during the mid 1970s, expanded upon this, chronicling the most banal events frame by frame, thereby effectively slowing down the passage of time.

Internationally celebrated curator Hans Ulrich Obrist is often asked about the future of art. His answer is always that we have to listen to artists. Since 2005, Obrist has expanded this narrative to ask not only artists but also writers, architects, mathematicians, scientists, poets, photographers, designers, novelists, professors, lawyers, actors, and philosophers to complete the sentence, ‘The future will be... ‘, resulting in a range of different readings on what lies ahead. 7KH¿UVWLQDVHULHVRISXEOLFDWLRQV

The Recovery of Discovery
edited by Susanne Pfeffer
Preserving a monument goes hand in hand with destroying it. In order to preserve architecture, cultural monuments and relics, they are often re-­located, allowing urban displacement to arise – leading to the disappearance of the concept of autonomous geography and archaeology. The dislocation of a monument does not only alter the history of its original location, but also leads to a radical re-­interpretation of the monument itself.

Similar to public amnesia, lost in the hopeless interaction with the monument, the gradual destruction becomes a part of the aesthetic of resistance. This catalogue depicts the gradual destruction of the sculpture and features a conversation with Cyprien Gaillard and Susanne Pfeffer. 9HUODJGHU%XFKKDQGOXQJ:DOWKHU.RHQLJ…

This catalogue documents for the ¿UVWWLPHWKHEURDGRHXYUHRIWKH
artist Laura Horelli. In addition to text-­based works and photographs, Horelli in particular uses video as a medium, sometimes also in multi-­channel video installations. In her research she focuses on communicative processes and their media, and political and social requirements in the globalised world. Horelli’s conceptual objective is to approach ‘reality’ in a subjective way, in order to excerpt urban environments, events and relationships from her past and current residences from their original contexts and to link them in a new way. This creates an intertext, which connects the different courses of time as well as their subtexts, and at the same time undermines the documentary representative. Published on the occasion of Horelli’s solo exhibition at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), Berlin, 29 November 2011 – 20 January 2012.

In his seminal work Observations (1995–2011) Ondák cut from a book – perhaps a monograph on perception – a series of details comprising images and captions. Presented on the gallery walls singly or combined in diptychs and triptychs, these cuttings form a universal vocabulary of individual and collective relationships and exchanges, of physical movements, mental projections, momentary intuitions, or suspended states of mind on which the artist’s research is grounded. Hung at various levels, the images and their laconic texts capture subtle, nuanced psychological situations and ordinary attitudes through a balanced combination of similar and contrasting gestures, postures, and gazes. The exhibition space is ‘edited’ by this intervention. In these works, where micro and macro mirror each other, Ondák does not provide an alternative to reality;; rather, he gives the audience a key with which to access and identify the variety of different observations and interpretations that reality offers.

This monograph published on the occasion of the retrospective show on Picabia at Kunsthalle Krems, 15 June – 4 November 2012, shows key works of the artist from his various artistic phases. Picabia is considered to be a great innovator, provocateur, instigator, man about town, unconventional thinker and maverick of modernism who entered into art history both as a painter and a poet. Few artists of the twentieth century have expressed as many contradictory aspects and styles in their oeuvre as Picabia.

Public / Political provides an overview of more than 30 years of work by Thomas Schütte. His art is characterised by stylistic variation. However, a common thread through this heterogeneous collection can be found in his reaction to political events and the presentation of his work in public spaces. Conversely, the concentration on political and public works of art enables exceptionally diverse pieces to be brought together in a coherent context. Each work, some of which DUHSXEOLVKHGKHUHIRUWKH¿UVW

I reacted with my camera straight away, but left the pictures for a while so I could look at them with a bit of distance, although I was immediately thinking of an artists’ book in the format of Concorde’ (Wolfgang Tillmans).

The Navy was forced to evacuate by a civil disobedience campaign waged by local residents, with supporters throughout the world. Allora & Calzadilla contributed to the visual culture of this campaign with a long-­term, multi-­sited project entitled Landmark, informed by questions such as: ‘How is land differentiated from other land by the way it is marked? Who decides what is worth preserving and what should be destroyed? How does one articulate an ethics and politics of land use?’ Published on the occasion of Allora & Calzadilla: Vieques Videos 2003 – 2011 at Lisson Gallery, London, 23 November 2011 – 14 January 2012.

The First Cut is a major exhibition featuring new and recent works by over 30 international contemporary artists who work with paper in revolutionary ways. Featuring established and emerging artists from America, Australia, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Sweden and the UK, it explores how the humble scrap of paper is transformed into extraordinary creations, through cutting, folding and sculpting. The title alludes to the beginning of the creative process but also suggests a violent and sinister action. Published to accompany the exhibition The First Cut at Manchester City Galleries (Manchester Art Gallery and The Gallery of Costume), 4 October 2012 – 27 January 2013.

It is no surprise for an artist who deals with systems of information DQGFODVVL¿FDWLRQWUDQVODWLQJLPDJHV
both methodically and intuitively through drawing and painting, that a catalogue, ‘a complete list of things;; usually arranged systematically’, would be unmistakably part of the process. Sea the Stars encompasses an array of Alison Turnbull’s research materials, key works and installation shots to create a new constellation from which to see the artist’s work. As Ed Krcma writes in his essay, one of the things Turnbull’s work reveals is that seeing is part of a dynamic relationship, involving immediate reactions and sustained thought.

The Feminine in Viennese Actionism
artists: Günter Bus, Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muehl, Rudolf Schwarzkogler
texts by Karl iro Goldblat, Pilar Parcerisas, August Ruhs, Michaela Pöschl, Almuth Spiegler, Andrea Schurian, Reinhard Priessnitz
Viennese Actionism focused attention on individual freedom and helped create greater tolerance, both in the sexual and interpersonal sphere. The effects of the cultural shock triggered by the rebellion of Actionism, which was also against baroque Catholicism and the sacrosanct family, can still be felt today. Next to the internationally well known Actionists Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muehl, Günter Bus and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, today, the women, with their efforts to change things in the revolutionary 1960s, remain to a large extent unknown. They became involved in Actionism through their artist partners, whom they supported with physical actions. Viennese collector and gallery owner Julius Hummel has compiled visual material that quite emphatically presents the involvement of the feminine and androgynous, which consciously or subconsciously is contained in the work of the Activists.

Contemporary artists introduce us to the world of the circus and focus on a wonderful location of place of cognition of the world, of surprises and sensations, a place of poetry, but also of excitement and anxiety. The circus, as a parallel world, has found a role as a projection surface, above all in the different genres of art.

The Naked Man features numerous examples of works featuring the male nude, spanning the period from Classical Modernism to the present day. The overview of the tradition of the artistic subject in the twentieth century shows the impressive spectrum of artistic work devoted to the naked man. Initially only relevant as a subject in a mythological context, artists start experimenting openly with the male self-­nude around 1900: the unclothed male body goes through identity crises and phases of sovereignty as well as attempts to deconstruct traditional depictions of masculinity. Published to accompany the exhibition at Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz and Ludwig Muzeum, Budapest in 2012–13.

Rainer Kosmos
Selected works from four decades present Arnulf Rainer’s cosmos in a far more complex, colourful and abundant way than the restriction to the position of the ‘overpainter’ suggests. Among other things, the exhibition includes Arnulf Rainer‘s early Abstractions from the 1960s, which allow for an analysis of picture format and colour application. Large-­
format ‘overpaintings’ from the late 1950s to the early 1970s show the brushwork alternating between contemplation and expression, and exemplify the processual painterly development. The selection ranges from the subsequent expressively SRZHUIXO¿QJHUSDLQWLQJVWRWKH
earthy Geologica paintings, and the delicately coloured ‘veil paintings’ from the 1990s. In addition, rare videos from Rainer’s performative work of the 1970s can be seen again. Published to accompany the exhibition at Arnulf Rainer Museum Baden, May – October 2012.

Made during time spent in the North East of England, Bainbridge’s collages have a North Eastern precedent in Richard Hamilton who, 40 years earlier made his pop collages in Newcastle, and 20 years before Hamilton – Kurt Schwitters who ‘merzed’ his ephemera, the result of which was a sequence of proto-­pop art pictures. Through ‘cut and paste’, the old way of doing, Bainbridge creates new relationships between images that have been abstracted and detached from their original source and context of brand and commercial message. These collages are glistening and playful, even risqué (can images be risqué these days?!). A surface fetish is present: skin glows, hair shines and eyes glisten, colour is sumptuous. 7KHUHLVDSXVKSXOORIUHSXOVLRQDQG

PHANTOM FUEL
This publication accompanies Parasol unit’s solo exhibition of Arte Povera protagonist Jannis Kounellis (28 November 2012 – 24 February 2013), one of the world’s leading contemporary artists with a career spanning more than 40 years. Born in the Greek port of Piraeus in 1936, Kounellis has lived in Rome since 1956. His work has developed as a mixture of painting, collages and the staging of installations, ‘environments’, performances and theatrical shows, through which Kounellis expresses the tensions and alienation of contemporary society, and with the multiplicity, obscurity and fragmentation of its language. Jannis Kounellis’ exhibition at Parasol unit will mark a key period in his career, demonstrating the breadth of the artist’s practice to date. Selected early bodies of work created in 1960s and 1970s will be shown in dialogue with new works, produced by the artist for the exhibition as a response to the older works on display. Essays by Ziba Ardalan and invited writers will provide an insight into Kounellis’ artwork.

To accompany his solo exhibition at Parasol unit, London, in March 2013, Navid Nuur will produce an artist’s book offering readers a very private view into the intricacies of his artistic practice. Iranian born artist Navid Nuur’s process-­based works question the connections between idea and form. Utilising a range of media, including drawing, text and installation, Nuur’s practice examines how the art object might extend beyond the physical and temporal conventions of an exhibition, and into the minds of viewers. Following in the great twentieth century tradition of the artist’s book, the publication will be based on Nuur’s sketchbooks, and documents his ZRUNLQJVRYHUD¿YH\HDUSHULRG

The Sensible Stage is a collection of newly commissioned discursive, theoretical and creative texts that explore the moving image in relation to performance, time and the event. It provides a series of individual proposals and speculations on the intersections of what might be termed ‘live-­ness’ in moving image and performance art practices today. Unfolding around the concept of ‘staging’, this book discusses the use of performance and theatre strategies in contemporary art as a means to question the boundaries of stage and screen.

In the Greek word graphein, drawing and writing share an etymological root. This closeness can be seen in medieval manuscripts or, more prosaically, in the early scrawls of children where there is little distinction between drawing and writing. From a phenomenological perspective writing and drawing are also closely related. Although they are considered discrete disciplines, with different modes of comprehension and interpretation, for the maker there can be a similarity of process. Writing retains the potential to slide into drawing, drawn lines can easily become letters. Drawing – in and outside – Writing investigates the slippage between these two acts. Individually and together, over a year, four visual artists, Peter Morrens, Kelly Chorpening, Ans Nys and Rebecca Fortnum have developed an interactive project to explore the visual relationship between writing and drawing, and this book is the result of their speculations. Published by RGAP in collaboration with Sint-­

It is the Space
The architect and sculptor Erich Reusch is among the artists who, after World War II, fundamentally contributed to a new understanding of sculpture. In the 1950s he worked as a freelance architect, but from 1964 he devoted himself increasingly to sculpture. Reusch became known at the end of the 1960s for his Elektrostatischen Objekte, i.e., Plexiglas cases to which, according to the climate and outside friction, gas soot pigments arbitrarily stuck, leaving painterly traces behind. As with his environments, as well as his sound and air works, the issue for him is a decisive expansion of our experience of the space around us. While the laser and ultrasonic tracks, 1969, let space become sensually perceptible as a force ¿HOGSHUYDGHGE\RSWLFDOPDJQHWLF

Fred Sandback’s minimal drawings are concerned with the ambivalence of the line;; a line can portray something or it can merely be the line itself, representing or presenting, generating illusions or doing away with them. Sandback developed a way of working which dispensed with the mass and weight of materials, ultimately using acrylic yarn, sometimes multi-­coloured, that stretched across architectural space. He made sculptures whose factual existence plays against the perceptual illusions they create, addressing physical surroundings as well as the audience in what he called the ‘pedestrian space’. This title accompanies the exhibition Fred Sandback: Drawings 1968–2000 at Annemarie Verna Gallery, Zürich, Switzerland, 2005.

Qiu Shihua
text by Silke von Berswordt-­Wallrabe
edited by Britta E. Buhlmann, Udo Kittelmann
The Chinese painter Qiu Shihua in his light, cloudy-­white painted landscapes, invokes apparently untouched nature in which only indications of paths, rivers or trees and structures of space such as the silhouettes of a chain of hills become painstakingly visible. Elements of traditional Eastern landscape painting, such as the strong reduction in colour and in precise details, are combined with the early abstraction of western modernist movements. Landscape no longer serves to represent real situations or the rational exploration of an illusionist picture plane, but becomes an occasion for a painterly treatment. 7KHXQGH¿QHGRSHQQHVVRIWKHPRWLI
and of spaciousness, the interplay between full and empty, brings any orientation towards recognisability to naught. The experience of placelessness unsettles one’s own perceptibility, while simultaneously the sense of sinking into an imaginary landscape becomes possible. 5LFKWHU)H\9HUODJ…

which focuses on the artist’s new work in relationship to that from the 1960s and 1970s.This monograph focuses on the role of colour, the purity of thought and visual pleasure in Bochner’s most recent work, such as his series of paintings in which he used a thesaurus to generate humorous word chains. Achim Borchardt-­Hume discusses the role of colour in Bochner’s latest work, Ulrich Wilmes looks at new paintings in relation to past work, João Fernandes explores language and Briony Fer considers notions of corruption in Bochner’s work. Published by Ridinghouse in association with Whitechapel Gallery, London, Haus der Kunst, Munich, and Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves, Porto, on the occasion of the exhibition Mel Bochner at Whitechapel Gallery, London, 12 October – 30 December 2012.

A leading painter of her generation, Fiona Rae’s distinctive, energetic, humorous and complex works challenge and expand the modern conventions of painting. Participation in Damien Hirst’s 1988 Freeze, the Venice Biennale 1990 and the Turner Prize in 1991 brought her early renown. Solo exhibitions have been held at Kunsthalle Basel;; ICA, London and Carré d’Art – Musée d’art contemporain de Nîmes. This publication examines Rae’s paintings from the last decade when she began to explore, in painterly analogues, many of the new visual conventions familiar to a post-­Photoshop generation, mixing graphic and cartoon imagery with abstract marks and spontaneous gestures to create an iconoclastic synthesis of painterly languages. Published to accompany the exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery, 11 May – 26 August 2012.

Breathing Space
artists: Halima Cassell, Zarah Hussain
edited by Fareda Khan, Pippa Kenyon-­Leigh
Araam: Breathing Space was a unique curatorial programme initiated by Shisha in partnership with Mid Pennine Arts. Building on cultural links between the North West of England and Pakistan, the project platformed the work of two exciting, contemporary artists Halima Cassell and Zarah Hussain through residencies in Pakistan and the UK, and a unique touring exhibition. Araam was conceived to enable ‘breathing space’ for both artists to research, develop new ideas and experiment with creative disciplines. Whilst Cassell and Hussain use very different artistic media, both are inspired by their ancestral heritage, DQG,VODPLFLQÀXHQFHVIURPSDWWHUQ
and architecture resonate throughout their work. This richly illustrated publication charts Araam from its inception and development of project partnerships with contemporary art establishments in Pakistan, through to the subsequent artist residency SURJUDPPHDQG¿QDOO\WKHUHVXOWLQJ
and much acclaimed exhibition and tour.

Understanding the Value of Experiential Learning in a Land Art Context

text by Lucy Medhurst
This title aims to distil the research TXHVWLRQDQG¿QGLQJVIURPDQ
eponymous paper submitted as an MA dissertation. The research sought to identify what educational outcomes emerge through the use of experiential learning in a Land Art context. The primary research material was drawn from two years of a Stour Valley Arts project called Down Time, funded through a national initiative Chances 4 Change broadly focused on wellbeing. The four participant groups came from a wide range of settings, allowing the research to look for common WKHPHVWKDWPLJKWGH¿QHWKHYDOXH
of this approach and its possibilities for learning. Theory (including neuroscience and environmental psychology) and practice were examined including relevant examples from Galleries, Creative Partnerships and Forest Schools. The context of Stour Valley Arts is a 1500 acre forest which sites commissioned works of contemporary art and includes a strong environmental component.
