Yan Pei-ming - The Man Who Weeps

Les Presses Du Reel 2019 ISBN 9782378960902 Acqn 29925
Hb 24x28cm 208pp col ills £38.50
Yan Pei-Ming is best known for his immense portraits that draw upon Chinese cultural history and
the Western tradition of portraiture. His paintings are executed with energy and imagination,
consisting of expressive brushstrokes and a predominately monochrome palette. A retrospective
of Pei-Ming's paintings and watercolours from 2006 to 2019, this monograph is structured around
the aspect of violence and disappearance, and around confrontation with works by old masters as
well as with modern iconography and charged political images. It presents new essays on the
artist, and is published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Musee des beaux-arts
in Dijon.

Alternative Languages - Asger Jorn, The Artist As A Social Activist

MMCA 2019 ISBN 9788963032092 Acqn 29926
Pb 21x26cm 216pp col ills £52.50
Appearing in conjunction with the first solo exhibition of Asger Jorn in Asia, which took place at
the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, this catalogue offers insight into
the roughly 90 works featured in the show. Comprising paintings, drawings, photographs,
ceramics, textiles, and archive materials, it offers an in-depth look at the socially engaged
practice of one of Denmark's most representative artists. The exhibition's title implies a new art
historical narrative, an alternative to the Western European-centric model, and refers to Jorn's
lifelong pursuit of artistic experimentation and political and social activism as a way to construct
an "alternative language".

Uncertain Patterns - Teaching And Learning Socially Engaged Art

Since the beginning of the 1990s, participatory art practices have multiplied, and today they form
a field grouped under the terms "socially engaged art practices", "community-based art", and
"dialogical art". These practices are currently moving from the margins of the art world to its
centre, gaining a new institutional legitimacy that is sometimes in contradiction to their activist
roots. This publication brings together texts written by coordinators, teachers, and students of five
study programmes built around socially engaged art practices, located in Barcelona, Berlin,
Dublin, Geneva, and the United States. The book also includes newly revised translations of two
key essays in the field.

Exhibiting In An Educational Field- Livelnyourhead 2009 – 2019

This publication takes ten years of activities of LiveInYourHead, the Geneva School of Art and
Design's exhibition space, as its starting point. Situated between a catalogue, an archive, and a
collective publication, the book explores the relationships between art education and curatorial
knowledge. LiveInYourHead is an art space, an informal curatorial program, and a micro-institute,
as well as a place for collective research, production, and meetings. Essays and a conversation
with the founders offer various perspectives at the intersection of artistic disciplines, to shed light
on the recent evolution of the artistic and educational institution in relation to the curatorial
apparatus.

Katja Lee Eliad - Map Maker Like Lyrical

Punch 2019 ISBN 9786069430026 Acqn 29931
Katja Lee Eliad's personal trajectory has been shaped by the experience of migration, queer
identity, and a complex family history, which also reflect in her artworks that span various
mediums, from drawing and painting, to poetry, video, and sound. Having had to adapt to
constantly shifting conditions, often by moving between France, Romania, and the United States,
her oeuvre is diverse in its formal qualities and means of expression. This extensively illustrated
book offers a retrospective view on this self-taught artist's work over the past two decades, and
includes two essays by Valentina Iancu and Anca Verona Mihulet, plus a conversation with the
artist by Nicolas de Ribou.

Kosmologiska Pilar - Cosmological Arrows

Art And Theory Publishing 2019 ISBN 29932
The title of the book and eponymous exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm is loosely
borrowed from the book "A Brief History of Time," by Stephen Hawking. When we locate a
thought in outer space, our given concepts of time and space are overturned. This exhibition and
publication wishes to be a springboard for artistic ideas and visions that challenge our usual way
of seeing the world, perhaps also suggesting new approaches on how to understand it. These
thoughts permeate the artworks and texts presented in "Cosmological Arrows" where space and
the science fiction genre are an imaginary laboratory that becomes the point of departure for
discussions regarding the ethical, moral and existential dilemmas of our times.

Steve Paxton - Drafting Interior Techniques

Culturgest 2019 ISBN 9789727691203 Acqn 29976
Pb 17x23cm 272pp col ills £28
Dancer, improviser, and choreographer Steve Paxton has been researching the "fiction" of
cultured dance and the "truth" of improvisation for six decades. This catalogue accompanies the
first retrospective look at his work and legacy. Interestingly, in the case of Paxton, almost none of
the usual remains of dance - scores, photographs, videos, interviews - were made or even kept
by the artist himself. Thus the works recounted in the exhibition in Lisbon as well as in this
publication were all made and conserved by others. The focus therefore is not the visible, exterior
forms that were produced by him, but the felt and sensed, the mindfulness of his unique way of
inhabiting movement.

Nico Krijno - How To Leave Your Body Behind

B.frank Books 2019 ISBN 9783906217130 Acqn 29978
South African artist Nico Krijno's photography exists at the intersection of performance, painting,
montage, and sculpture. His photographs are full of visual codes, riddles, patterns, and colour.
Krijno builds sculptures using discarded materials and rearranges them over and over,
photographing them during this process. The images are then are reprocessed and altered again
into new forms through both collage and Photoshop, creating new narratives and meaning. Such
explorations are representative of his experimentation with the perceived truths of objects, the
medium of photography, and its broader history. Playful, carefully structured, and completely non-
linear.

We Don't Know God - Chim Pom 2005-2019

United Vagabonds 2019 ISBN 9784908600036 Acqn 30003
The first fully bilingual monograph of this artists' collective established in Tokyo in 2005, 'We
Don't Know God' shows how the five men and one woman who are Chim Pom have never limited
their actions in the Japanese context. Frequent travellers, they have worked in places around the
world to confront global challenges in their own ways, creating remarkably audacious and
inventive, often playful and satiric, intervention projects to negotiate with the different social and
political conditions they encountered. They have also experimented in producing informal artistic
and architectural projects, which derive from the legacy of Japanese post-war avant-garde
movements.

Carla Rak - Eyes As Oars, A Visual Journey To Mars

Danilo Montanari Editore 2019 ISBN 9788885449268 Acqn 29538
Visual artist Carla Rak works mainly with photography, collage, textiles, and writing. Her work is
often connected with collecting, wherein already existing images are the raw material she uses to
question the photographic image, and the starting point to play with their ambiguity and with the
transformation of their meanings through time and contexts, enacting different processes to
liberate pictures from their solidified histories. With 'Eyes as Oars' she seeks to reaffirm our sight
as a tool for exploration. Its visual journey appears as a kaleidoscope of images, photos, charts,
and illustrations, disorienting at first glance. Extensive captions and credits of the images are
gathered at the end.

Wangechi Mutu - A Promise To Communicate

Ivory Press 2019 ISBN 9788494509681 Acqn 30047
Based on the eponymous installation by Wangechi Mutu exhibited at Boston's Institute of

Contemporary Art in 2018, this book brings together a selection of words written by visitors on the
walls of the museum. Printed on translucent paper, the messages are a response to the invitation
offered by the artist's work, which comprises a reconfigured map of the world made out of rescue
blankets, along with hanging rocks, sticks, and pencils. Mutu's work explores concepts relating to
violence, displacement, marginality, and representations of women in the contemporary world. A
conversation between the artist and curator Ruth Erickson reflects on communicative acts in the
museum space.

Dena Yago - Fade The Lure

After 8 Books 2019 ISBN 9782955948637 Acqn 30245
Pb 15x22cm 52pp ills £17.50
'Fade the Lure' is a small collection of poems and photographs created between 2014 and 2017,
during Dena Yago's experience working and living alongside emotional support dogs in Los
Angeles. The book explores the possibility for the poem to account for relationships that
materialise and live beyond words, while existing in confined structures. The images are cropped
to focus on the dogs, diminishing the human-centred narrative in favour of an empathetic view of
the animals themselves. In the artist's words, "poetry is sometimes "a form of communication
created out of the desire to avoid, and an inability to engage in other forms of direct
communication".

The Life And Work Of Kirie Artist Kubo Shu

Tankosha 2019 ISBN 9784473042934 Acqn 30011
Kirie is the Japanese art of paper cutting, and Shu Kubo is a self-taught master of the technique.
Since discovering it while studying architecture at college, he has developed his own method of
overlaying coloured paper to create multicoloured works that also incorporate pastels or acrylic
paint. Part biography, part monograph, this book presents a large overview of works by Shu, in-
depth explanations of his techniques, and many personal anecdotes about his widely varied
sources of inspiration, from modern city views to Japanese scenes in nature. His pieces are
characterised by texture, the dramatic use of perspective, and bold expressions of light and
shadows.

Archi-Feministes! Contemporary Art, Feminist Theories

Optica 2019 ISBN 9782922085150 Acqn 30127
Bringing together an important body of work produced between 1970 and the present, this
publication analyses historical and current issues of feminism by proposing crossed perspectives
on the field of art history and its oft-interrogated construction. Feminist manifestations are
examined in light of practices that persist in their resistance and that compel us to re-examine
social norms through activism, citizen mobilization, and sharing communities. Striving to bring
new insights to our attention, these contributions take up theoretical feminist models, but also
reference cultural, decolonization, and queer studies.

Claudia Comte - The Curves, The Corners, And The Machines

Printemps De Septembre 2019 ISBN 9782956551416 Acqn 30129
The accompanying publication to Swiss artist Claudia Comte's project at the Bazacle cultural
centre in Toulouse, this book examines her work against the background of a genealogy of
exhibitions of objects, beginning with curator Philip Johnson's seminal 'Machine Art' (1934) at the
Museum of Modern Art. The graphic framework of Comte's sculptures tends to relate to a form of
photogenic obviousness, within which multiple references to the history of art and popular culture
exist. Her exhibiting strategies rely on a culture of display once reserved for trade fairs and
industry shows, but since the advent of modernism has developed into a particular sort of
museological practice.

Munch - The Scream Flipbook

Seigensha Art Publishing 2019 ISBN 9784861527159 Acqn 29387
A lonely painter conjures magical forces clearly beyond his comprehension in an attempt to
transform a portrait of a beautiful woman into his very own Galatea. An army of colourful paint
sprites springs from the jars in his studio, washing over reality and transforming the hapless
fellow into Munch's well-known masterwork. Naturally, he ends up screaming.

Yoon Heechang - Sand River Work - Setouchi For Guntu

Ryuryudo 2019 no ISBN Acqn 29985
Yoon Heechang, who grew up in a port town by the Seto Inland Sea, travelled around this large
body of water in Japan to collect sand for the series of delicately hued paintings presented in this
book. Using pigments made from the sand, he depicts the surrounding Setouchi landscape. The
title 'Sand River' refers to "the flow of sand" and reflects the artist's respect for the working of
humans and nature, as well as for the flow and accumulation of time. 'Setouchi' is part of a
broader impulse in his body of work, which has taken him to various rivers throughout Japan
since 2012. At each, he depicts riverside places and landscapes using pigment made from the
local sands.

Published on the occasion of Ian Davenport's last exhibition at Dallas Contemporary (30
September 2018-17 March 2019), Horizons presents a group of approximately seventeen large-
scale works from the last thirty years, from the earlier pieces made with industrial materials of the
'80s, till the more complex multicolored works of the last years. Mapping the ongoing
development of the artist's career and demonstrating his interest in the theatrics of painting,
Horizons proves how curiosity, inquisitiveness, and fun, have always been a fundamental part of
Davenport's practice, and sheds light on the intimate punkiness, immediacy, and dynamic of his
paint activity.

The Barolo Chapel By Sol Le Witt & David Tremlett. The Last Eclipse Of The Millenium
Corraini Editore 2019 ISBN 9788875708078 Acqn 30244
Set in the vineyards of the Italian Piedmont, the Barolo Chapel is an example of renovation,
reconstruction, and rejuvenation. Once a disused shell, the small chapel was transformed in the
1990s by artist friends Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett. The former made colourful interventions on
the exterior walls of the structure, while the latter was responsible for its more sober but equally
colourful interior. These two operations interact with the building as if it were a true and total work
of art, bringing together the artists' respective fields. This book tells the story of the chapel's
transformation, a legend about art and friendship, lovingly portrayed in original sketches, plans,
and photographs.

Francis Alys - Children's Games

Francis Alys has documented children at play all over the world, from kids playing knucklebones
in Nepal to musical chairs in Mexico or flying kites in Afghanistan. He filmed in peaceful towns
and villages, but also against the backdrop of conflict and tension, such as at a Yezidi refugee
camp in Iraq or in besieged Kabul. This book shows the ways children everywhere pass the time
and create their own fantasies in games and leisure, whether skipping stones, sandcastles,
marbles, or hopscotch. The project is presented here as a series for the first time, with
contributions by journalist Lorna Scott Fox, filmmaker David MacDougall, and art critic and
curator Cuauhtemoc Medina.

B.D. Graft - Living Things

Zioxla 2019 no ISBN Acqn 30284
'Living Things' is the debut book from German artist B.D. Graft, whose light, graphic style recalls
Matisse's cut-outs mixed with Bauhaus-era design and Pop Art levity. In the book, foliage and
fruit play a central role, as does colour. The book includes key works from Graft's ongoing series
of plants in vases - collages and paintings of gestural foliage emerging from boldly hued vessels -
and emphasises the artist's playful side. For example, in an oil pastel titled "Pot Head," a loosely
rendered, fleshy figure has a big blue planter for a head. "Making art brightens up my day," Graft
explains, "and I'd like to pass that feeling on to the observer."
