Studio - Remembering Chris Marker

OR Books 2017 ISBN 9781682190807 Acqn 27012
Hb 17x24cm 96pp 21col ills 35.95
Chris Marker (19212012) was a celebrated French documentary film director, writer and
photographer, best known for his films La Jete, A Grin Without a Cat and Sans Soleil. He was
described by fellow filmmaker Alain Resnais as the prototype of the 21st-century man. In this
highly original book, Adam Bartos exquisite photographs of Markers studio, a workspace both
extraordinarily cluttered and highly organized, appear alongside a moving reminiscence of his
friend by the film theorist, Godard biographer and practitioner Colin MacCabe. The novelist and
poet Ben Lerner provides a fulsome introduction to the work of Marker, Bartos and MacCabe. The
physical structure of the book, incorporating an array of gatefold images, echoes Markers own
commitment to radical, innovative form. The result is a compelling homage to one of the most
important and original talents in modern cinema.

Matthew Ronay
Gregory R. Miller & Company 2017 ISBN 9781941366110 Acqn 26983
The handcrafted and vibrantly colourful works of Brooklyn-based sculptor Matthew Ronay (born
1976) evoke biological processes and organic forms as much as they draw on spiritual and
mythological narratives. Influences ranging from science fiction, chemistry, Surrealism and
mycology emerge in his psychedelic reliefs and installations.
This book documents the artist's first major museum presentations in the United States, with an
eponymous exhibition at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston, as well as a newly
commissioned project, When Two Are in One, at the Prez Art Museum, Miami. Collected here
are Ronay's most significant sculptures and installations from the last four years alongside major
new texts that elucidate the artist's singular vision.

S-337473 accompanies Sarah Oppenheimers (born 1972) exhibition at the Wexner Center. The
project spotlights Oppenheimers current investigation of the switch, and how such a device might
be able to work in space to generate a matrix of views that cannot be experienced by an
individual simultaneously. The illustrated catalogue includes new photography of the work in situ
and documentation of her cross-disciplinary collaborations, along with newly commissioned
essays by scholars, including Alexander R. Galloway (Professor of Media, Culture and
Communication at NYU) and Laurent Stalder (Chair for the Theory of Architecture at the ETH in
Zurich).

Pb 19x24cm 200pp 146ills 139col 26.95
Future Imperfect weaves together accessible scholarship and leading examples of socially
engaged art, including artist projects by Mel Chin, Brett Cook, Pablo Helguera, Fran Ilich, Norene
Leddy & Liz Slagus, Jan Mun and Jody Wood. Christian Viveros-Faun considers social practice
in a business context; Greg Sholette debates its progressive bona fides; Charles Esche
ruminates on its utopian claims and Grant Kester explores the tension between theory and
practice. Further essays by Deborah Fisher, Laura Raicovich, Jan Cohen-Cruz and Elizabeth
Grady analyse the institutional context for the art, exploring the ways that it affects organizational
structure, how its impact can be assessed, and curatorial perspectives. Sections on each of the
artist projects include an informative description and rich illustrations that open a window onto the
artists practice. Additional contributions by Ben Davis, Tom Finkelpearl, Rick Lowe and Nato
Thompson interrogate questions of ethics and effectiveness.

Yvonne Rainer - Moving And Being Moved

ROMA Publications 2017 ISBN 9789491843884 Acqn 27584
Pb 20x28cm 128pp col ills 29.95
Edited by Yvonne Rainer, this selection of texts and images by Rainer and various authors offers
a retrospective portrait of her work, focusing on some of her most notable performances and
projects from both the late 1960s (Trio A, The Mind Is a Muscle) and since her return to dance
with the White Oak Dance Project in 2000. Rainer is known for her challengingly experimental
and sometimes minimalist work as a dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker, which spearheaded
the rise of postmodern dance. An essay by Rainer frames things from the perspective of an
ageing dancer who is aware of her physical limitations. With a conversation between Rainer and
dancer Trisha Brown.

Ikeda Manabu - The Pen

Seigensha Art Publishing 2017 ISBN 9784861526022 Acqn 27317
Japanese artist Manabu Ikedas drawings are remarkable for their extreme detail, and more so for
the fact that he uses only a small acrylic pen in their execution. His simultaneous grasp of the
micro and macro scales, a masterful technique where his vivid subconscious guides his hand,
has garnered international acclaim. This book provides a comprehensive survey of Ikedas
oeuvre over the past 20 years by way of 100 works selected by the artist. Its focus is a new work,
Rebirth, which he completed over three years as artist-in-residence at the Chazen Museum of
Art in Wisconsin, and is his largest to date. Other monumental works are also included, as well as
smaller drawings.

Taube 2017 ISBN 9783981451870 Acqn 27408
Pb 11x18cm 80pp 13.50
The book by Stefan Sulzer tells the story of a visit by the authors mother to the Dia Art
Foundation in Beacon, NY, to see Rymans white paintings on display. Once there, the mother
felt so offended by the elegant, simplicity of Rymans paintings, that she slowly, but in a focused
manner let her hand slide across one of the paintings. Stefan Sulzer combines this story with
statements and information about Rymans work to create a selective and poetic narration of the
analytic and emotional reception of art.

discussion of exactly what role theory should play, and the influence of theory on art practice, are
at the heart of this collection. By presenting the seemingly simple question Why, what and how
theory? to a range of people who are involved in international art education in the realm of fine
art and performing art, this book provides an inventory of current opinions in this area.

Saadane Afif - Fountain 1917 Fontaine 1917 Fontane 1917

B.frank Books 2017 ISBN 9783906217093 Acqn 27567
Pb 17x24cm 272pp 300ills 150col 47.95
French conceptual artist Sadane Afif has gathered hundreds of postcards picturing fountains,
thereby constructing an almost daily history of the year 1917. With the development in the early
20th century of mechanical pumps and indoor plumbing, even the most provincial European town
could boast a fountain that was no longer functional but purely decorative. Afif connects these
advancements to parallel progress in photography and its reproduction, as well as the expansion
of the postal service. Altogether, the book with its fascinating mementos of correspondence
becomes a keen reflection on the initial stages of globalisation as we know it today. With a text by
Tacita Dean.

Antony Gormley - Living Room

Xavier Hufkens 2017 ISBN 9789491245183 Acqn 27568
Hb 21x29cm 136pp col ills 36
Encounters with Antony Gormleys practice can be seen as a search for the meaning of the
human figure. Yet his oeuvre possesses a far more stringent, radical, and systemised nucleus.
Gormleys earliest pieces were casts of his own body, though they are copies that are neither
self-portraits nor portraits. Instead, they represent an area or a space that divests the bodily form
from both the individual and the physical. He operates not in biology and psychology, but rather
geometry and architecture, and as this catalogue demonstrates, such figures also comfortably
inhabit the white cube. The publication includes a conversation with the artist and Benno Tempel.

Hilde Bouchez - The Wild Thing

Art Paper Editions 2017 ISBN 9789490800604 Acqn 27638
This book attempts to identify and describe the often elusive qualities we experience in everyday
objects. What gives a specific glass, for instance, more aura or mystical allure than another?
Some things seem to have a bright quality that speaks to the imagination, perhaps the result of
the methodology and intent of the creator. Hilde Bouchez outlines this type of conveyance,
emphasising a way to both design and experience things that centres on an essential oneness
between humans, objects, and the cosmos. Essays explore the history of design, along with the
latest tendencies within the field, ecological aspects of materials, and the quest for sustainability.

Zhao Zhao Provocateur

Flash Art Publishing 2017 ISBN 9788894154030 Acqn 27754
Zhao Zhao is a significant figure among the young, post-1980s generation of contemporary
Chinese artists. His first monograph in English examines an artistic practice emblematic for its
ability to address conflict social, political, and aesthetic in a world undergoing unprecedented
upheaval. The artist has consistently positioned his art as a counterweight to systems of control
which affect and regulate the lives of individuals in China, and its increasingly global reach
testifies to a profound resonance beyond his countrys borders. Using a wide range of materials,
Zhao Zhao is positioned as a crucial agent in the contemporary cultural discourse. With essays
by Hou Hanru and Li Zhenhua.

Sisters! Making Films, Doing Politics

Art And Theory Publishing 2017 ISBN 9789188031259 Acqn 26762
Bridging the gulf between aesthetics and politics, artist and film-maker Petra Bauer reflects on her
own experience of making political films and launches a theoretical argument that uncovers the
aesthetic mechanisms underlying contemporary strategies for collective and feminist film-making.
An exploration in artistic research, the book draws on an extensive historical archive of radical
film-making and film theory, with particular focus on the British film collectives of the 1970s and
films made by Palestinian and Israeli film-makers. At the investigations core stands Sisters!,
Bauers collaborative film project with the London-based feminist organisation Southall Black
Sisters.

Dancing Foxes Press 2017 ISBN 9780998632605 Acqn 27270
Pb 17x26cm 128pp 102ills 81col 26.95
Initially known for her work in photographywhich she has been making over the last three
decadesNew Yorkbased artist Moyra Davey (born 1958) is also an esteemed writer, editor
and, most recently, filmmaker, whose works layer personal narratives with explorations of other
authors, filmmakers and artists. This book is based on two related projects that take form as text,
photography and film. Les Goddesses (2011) collapses the lives of Davey and her five sisters
with those of the daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century feminist writer and activist.
Hemlock Forest (2016) weaves references to Wollstonecraft, Chantal Akerman and Karl Ove
Knausgaard with her own family stories. During the making of Hemlock Forest, Akerman took her
own life. Her death soon engulfed Daveys awareness, prompting a broader exploration of
Akermans and her own biographies, amid more universal themes of compulsion, artistic
production, life and its passing.

Mels Van Zutphen - The Speed Of Light

Eriskay Connection 2017 ISBN 9789492051257 Acqn 27570
In September 2011, in an underground laboratory in Italy, researchers could not quite believe
what they were seeing. They recorded tiny particles (neurtinos) fired from another lab in
Switzerland, seven hundred kilometres away, arriving sooner than expected. Sooner even than a
beam of light would have done! Visual artist and filmmaker Mels van Zutphen, fascinated by
science and technology, decided to create an artistic and slightly ironic visual statement on these
scientific events. He followed the track of the neutrinos from Cern to Gran Sasso by car in twelve
days. A neutrino only needs 0,0024 seconds to travel this distance.

Letting Art Teach - Art Education 'after' Joseph Beuys

ArtEZ Press 2017 ISBN 9789491444371 Acqn 27740
Hb 16x22cm 168pp ills 27.50
In this book, Gert Biesta presents a new approach to contemporary art education by showing the
unique possibilities the arts offer to establish a dialogue with the world around us. This approach
to art education is based on teaching as a process of showing, where the teacher shows the
student what could be good, important or meaningful to master in the world. As a starting point for
illustrating this method, the book proposes 'How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare' (1965) by
Joseph Beuys, which Biesta uses in order to draw out a number of important lessons about
teaching.

David Salle Debris

Karma 2017 ISBN 9781942607021 Acqn 26330
Hb 22x27cm 80pp 37col ills 26.50
Debris assembles paintings and ceramics made by American artist David Salle (born 1952) over
the past five years. Regarded as one of the originators of postmodernism in painting, Salle
employs his recognizable style of juxtaposition and visual simultaneity in these most recent
works. A number of paintings make use of highly abstracted photographic silk-screens that
reveal, upon closer inspection, tightly cropped tangles of wire and wood washed up on a beach
near the artists Long Island home. Though Salle has often affixed ceramic objects to the canvas
in the past, here the smashed or collapsed vessel and platter shapes begin for the first time to
take on the agency and autonomy of independent art objects.
Including an interview with the artist, this elegant volume is a tribute to Salles merging of
figurative tradition with abstraction, and to the dialogue he creates between disparate elements.

Lynda Benglis
Cheim & Read 2017 ISBN 9781944316044 Acqn 26960
Since the 1960s, Lynda Benglis (born 1941) has been celebrated for the free, ecstatic forms she
has poured, thrown and molded in ceramic, latex, polyurethane and bronze. In her new work,
documented in this volume, she turns to handmade paper, which she wraps around a chicken
wire armature, often painting the sand-toned surface in bright, metallic colours offset by strokes of
deep, coal-based black. At other times she leaves the paper virtually bare. These works reflect
the environment in which they were made, the sere and windblown landscape of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, as Nancy Princenthal writes in her essay. It is possible to see the bleached bones of the
landits mesas and arroyos; its scatterings of shed snakeskins and animal skeletonsin the
new sculptures combination of strength and delicacy. Simultaneously playful and visceral, these
works enter into a lively dialogue with Benglis previous explorations of materials and form.

Clare Woods - Victim of Geography

Dundee Contemporary Arts 2017 ISBN 9780992709563 Acqn 27681
Pb 21x28cm 48pp 16col ills 10
This publication was created to coincide with Clare Woods solo exhibition Victim of Geography at
Dundee Contemporary Arts (24 June - 10 September 2017). The book is inspired by Clare
Woods research into The South Polar Times - a series of publications produced by Captain Scott
and his team during their expedition to the Antarctic on Dundees RSS Discovery. The
dimensions and aesthetic are drawn from this collection of one-off, hand-typed and illustrated
publications that helped to give Scott and his team a focus and coping mechanism during the
hardships and isolation of their long journey.
The publication includes an introduction by Beth Bate, alongside two newly commissioned pieces
of writing by Anouchka Grose and R.W. Paterson in response to the work of Clare Woods. It
includes full colour images of the twelve new paintings that formed her solo exhibition, as well as
images of source material from the artists studio.
