Anne Hardy Secession
Revolver Publishing by VVV 2012 ISBN 9783868952223 Acqn 21952
Pb 31x23cm 144pp 105ills 45col 23.50

I want to make photographs that create something other than pure reality.
Anne Hardy interviewed by Elisabeth Krimbacher in Parnass, Issue 3, 2012

This artist book is based on a concept by Anne Hardy and was designed in close collaboration
with the London graphics team abke. It brings together extracts from several works of literature
texts that have accompanied the artist for a significant part of her life and have influenced her
thinking with numerous illustrations, including sketches, samples of work, and visual sources of
inspiration. This varied collection allows readers to delve into Anne Hardys world of ideas and
serves as a kind of guidebook to her visual language. Her pictures document places that have
disappeared and often show confusing spatial situations full of traces of human presence and
mysterious activity. Although the book is fresh of the press, it gives the impression that it was
taken from one of the interiors constructed by the artist, perhaps left behind by a fictitious
protagonist?

Texts: J.G. Ballard, Raymond Carver, Bret Easton Ellis, Stanislaw Lem, Tom McCarthy, Haruki
Murakami, Mike Ricketts.

Alice Neel - Intimate Relations
The Nordic Watercolour Museum 2014 ISBN 9789189477537 Acqn 23361
Hb 21x23cm 96pp 95col ills 29.50

The art of Alice Neel (19001984) distinguished itself from that of her American contemporaries
by the special intimacy of its style, in which her drawing practice was a decisive factor. Though
somewhat less known than her paintings, Neels drawings and watercolors articulate an array of
influences--German Expressionist and Neue Sachlichkeit painting, the Ashcan School, an early
sojourn in Cuba--that accompanied her through her tentative beginnings in the mid-1920s through
to the maturity of her art after the Second World War, when she found room to accommodate
abstraction and Pop art. This volume, published for the first European exhibition of Neels works
on paper, spans the years 1926 to 1982, and gathers color and ink-only portraits and street
scenes, as well as her illustrations for an edition of Dostoyevskys The Brothers Karamazov.

Kristin Baker - Illume-Mine
The Suzanne Geiss Company 2014 ISBN 9780615767895 Acqn 23403
Hb 22x29cm 68pp 45col ills 35

Illume-Mine presents the newest paintings by artist Kristin Baker (born 1975), from 20112013.
Bakers compositions often involve the distortion of light and color: rectangles float like prisms
through which red turns to purple, white fans out and tangerine comes in and out of focus. At the
core of her work, which has developed over the course of a decade, is an exploration of the
boundaries and expectations of the painted medium. The abstract works in this catalogue extend
this investigation. In these new paintings, visual and process-oriented allusions to photography,
printmaking and other two-dimensional media combine to reveal a diverse acrylic idiom. Illume-
Mine is also the first publication to feature Bakers Minums--small paintings whose scale reflects
the size of notebook paper but displays the same dramatic effects as the large-scale works. This
monograph was edited by Nikki Columbus and includes an essay by Suzanne Hudson.

Arts/Industry - John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Collaboration And Revelation
John Michael Kohler Arts Cente 2014 ISBN 9780985380038 Acqn 23412

Founded in 1974 as a one-month experiment to open up new opportunities for extraordinary
artists, Arts/Industry brought together two spirited partners: the groundbreaking John Michael
Kohler Arts Center, then in its infancy, and Kohler Co., a 100-year-old leader in the international
plumbingware industry. The program took the ceramic arts community by storm and through the
years transformed artists' interests and university curricula regarding clay from molds. Today,
Arts/Industry is hailed as the most unusual and successful ongoing collaboration between the arts
and industry in the U.S. Each year, approximately 16 artists worldwide are selected for two- to
six-month residencies to explore new technologies as well as ways of thinking and to create
whole new bodies of work and/or public commissions in Kohler Co.'s Pottery, Iron and Brass
Foundries and Enamel Shop. Published on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of
Arts/Industry, this landmark book presents a profusely illustrated history of the program from the
perspective of its founder and director of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Ruth DeYoung
Kohler, Kohler Co. Chairman and CEO Herbert V. Kohler, Jr., artists-in-residence, Kohler Co.
industrial staff and art historians Ezra Shales and Glen Brown. Chapters explore some of the
program's major emphases: experimentation, originality and multiplicity, the impact of the
industrial setting on the artistic process and the interaction between artists and industrial artisans.

Daniel Joseph Martinez - The Report Of My Death Is An Exaggeration
Roberts & Tilton 2014 ISBN 9780991488902 Acqn 23928

As interpreted by Michel Foucault, Das Narrenschiff (The Ship of Fools), a fifteenth-century satire
by Sebastian Brant, imagines a world in which knowledge belongs squarely in the realm of
madness, useful only to those who would debate idly and apply nothing to experience. Artist
Daniel Joseph Martinez (born 1957) has recognized the relevance of this allegory to present
times, and through text paintings, photographs and sculptures, he has traced contemporary Los
Angeles onto Foucaults conception of Narrenschiff. Inspired by bus rides observing his fellow
passengers, Martinez conceived of four narratives that explore a modern kind of knowledge-
based perversity. The Report of My Death Is an Exaggeration, which documents Martinezs
installation of these works at Roberts & Tilton in Culver City, California, also features an essay by
art historian, critic and curator Juli Carson.

Jeronimo Voss - Phantasmagorical Horizon
Hb 14x21cm 268pp 200ills 150col 15.95

The artist book "Phantasmagorical Horizon" by Jeronimo Voss translates his exhibition of the
same title at MMK Zollamt, Museum fr Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main on to transparent
paper pages. Phantasmagoria originated as a Magic Lantern show, between spectacle and
scientific education, after the French Revolution in Paris. Institutional media history often relates
to it as the Prehistory of Cinema. Phantasmagorical Horizon develops a different story. In it,
Voss' full-dome projection Eternity through the Stars, first shown at dOCUMENTA (13) in
Kassel, or the slide show In Dependent Gravity appear as translucent montages of texts and
images. Furthermore, authors Astrid Mania, Christiane Ketteler and Chris Tedjasukmana took the
exhibition as a starting point for their book contributions on Phantasmagoria.

Philippe Parreno - TV Channel
CAC Malaga 2014 ISBN 9788494216930 Acqn 24159

French artist and filmmaker Philippe Parreno is known to have radically redefined the exhibition
experience by exploring its possibilities as a coherent object rather than a collection of individual
works. In the scripted spaces of his shows, a series of events unfolds, with orchestrated sound
and image heightening the sensory experience. This book is published on the occasion of CAC
Malagas showing of TV Channel, an installation comprising the projection of seven short films
that summarise Parrenos career, from its start in the mid-1980s to his most recent works.
Besides numerous installation views, it includes an close reading of the experience by Cyril
Bghin.

Yoshitomo Nara
Pace Gallery NY 2013 ISBN 9781935410454 Acqn 24296
Pb 26x31cm 72pp 48ills 46col 32

Nara fuses Japanese visual traditions and Western Modernism with elements of popular culture
ranging from manga to American pop and punk music, the lyrics of which appear in many of his
paintings and drawings. When I look at Naras work, I see its roots in the Kulture of Kute (the
Japanese term is kawaii): the big eyes on the little kids, writes Byrne. On the surface, theyre
pretty damn cute. But Nara has stepped outside that world in a big way. The kids and dogs in his
pictures and bronzes are defiant, angry, annoyed, and pissed off. They have rebelled against
their roots, and their big eyes are cold, slightly alien. Nothing is scarier than something that is the
opposite of what it seemsa cute kid who is in fact a bad seed.
Though often associated with Pop, Naras newest works reveal an engagement with the acts of
painting and sculpting that places him closer to artists like Rothko and Bonnard. The layering of
colour and the texture of brushwork is even more luminescent than in earlier works, and Naras
rough-hewn bronzes leave traces of the artists own hand, in contrast to the smoothness of his
fibreglass sculptures.

Tim Hawkinson
Pace Gallery NY 2013 ISBN 9781935410447 Acqn 24297
Hb 21x24cm 68pp 44ills 43col 28

Tim Hawkinsons idiosyncratic creations are meditations on nature, machines, mortality, the body
and human consciousness. Since the 1980s, Hawkinson has used common household materials,
handcrafted and found objects, and mechanical components to shift familiar subject matter
askew, creating visual conundrums imbued with deeper meaning. His inventive works range in
size from monumental kinetic and sound-producing sculptures to almost microscopic pieces
created from such unassuming materials as fingernail clippings and eggshells. Driven by
materials and an interest in transformation, Hawkinson continues to create unlikely and thought-
provoking associations by repurposing ordinary materials into extraordinary works of art. All of the
pieces in this show take their titles from Girl Scout cookies, yielding uncannily accurate
descriptive associations with each work and reflecting how daily experiencein this case, his
daughters cookie driveinfluences Hawkinsons imagination.

Anton Marcus Pasing - Eutopia II: Non-Linear Multiple Hybrid Solutions
Hb 15x22cm 552pp 320ills 300col 35.95

The concept of nature in Western philosophy and culture identifies everything that is not created
by human beings as nature. Within nature, a further distinction is made between abiotic and
biotic nature.
This perspective is problematical because on the one hand it is saturated with a certain
arrogance, and on the other hand it runs counter to the logic of evolution. Furthermore, it
perpetuates a structural distinction that goes back to Scholasticism between natura naturans
and natura naturata. According to this distinction, we are deemed to be a part of created
nature and thus separate from creating nature.
The assumption on which this narrative is based does not share this classification.
If the human being is one outcome of evolution, how can the results of his action then not be
nature?
Nature is not an antonym of culture; rather, culture is a variation that nature has allowed to this
day through our existence.
Eutopia II is based on the ontological claim that everything that is is one indivisible nature. This
avowal of naturalism thus opens every possible hybridization, transformation and mutation of
natural systems, that is, of all systems.
At the core of this publication is a longing for narration and imagination, and by the same token
the wish for liberation from the "terror of understanding" within architecture.
The obsession with explicability and the quest for meaning follows an increasingly one-
dimensional functionalization of the interpretation of architecture. This book opposes this lure of
reality.
The result is an architectural-spatial narration, a narrative fiction that does not strive to generate
truth or to accommodate the imperative of consciousness.
Seekers are always also travellers. Eutopia II is a place that receives travellers, that answers no
questions, that leaves fictitious situations as they are and that is more apt to generate questions
than to answer questions that were brought along.

Tracey Emin - The Last Great Adventure Is You
White Cube 2014 ISBN 9781906072919 Acqn 24345

The Last Great Adventure is You, featuring bronze sculptures, gouaches, paintings, large-scale
embroideries and neon works, chronicles the contemplative nature of work by an artist who has
consistently examined her life with excoriating candour. Reflective in tone, the works in the
exhibition are the result of many years development, from the bronze sculptures the most
significant body she has made to date to the works on canvas. There is a complexity in the
sculptural form of the bronzes, simultaneously robust yet tender, that points to a consummate
understanding of material, composition and subject matter. In Grotto (2014), a tessellated, cave-
like chamber gives sanctuary to a solitary figure as artist proxy, while the muscular form of Bird
(2014) harmonises sinuous lines with gravity and grace. A series of bronze bas-relief plaques
portray figures that appear amorphous yet distinct, with subtle interplay between light and
shadow. While the paintings at first appear simple and immediate, many of them are the result of
application, obliteration and layering over a period of several years. Emin repeatedly returns to
the canvases as a means of reviewing, revising and reconsidering her own position in relation to
painting through temporal passages. The title The Last Great Adventure is You, which is
transcribed in neon within the exhibition, was originally intended by Emin as a reference to the
other person; however, over the two year period since she began creating this body of work, she
came to realise that the implication was once again coming back to the self.

Alan Green - Selected Works From 1972 To 2003
Annely Juda Fine Art 2014 ISBN 9781904621638 Acqn 24351

Alan Green (19322003) wanted to create ordinary paintings as ordinary as the real world. This
came from his belief that, in the second half of the twentieth century, artists carried too much
baggage to be able to experience things.
Green was one of the great British abstract artists whose formative years were spent in London in
the 1960s. He was trained as an illustrator and graphic designer that freed him from the
theoretical constraints of art history. In the mid1960s he made field paintings (which were
remarkably advanced for their time) in which his colour and its application dictated the form. His
paintings are deliberately non-emotional and controlled.

Naum Gabo was one of the worlds foremost Constructivist sculptors. Born in Russia, named
Naum Neemia Pevsner he was the younger brother of Antoine Pevsner. He abandoned a medical
career and began to study in Munich. In 1910 he met Kandinsky and in 1913/14, while visiting his
brother, then a Cubist painter in Paris, he met other artists. In 1915 he made the first
constructions using the name Gabo. He returned to Russia in 1917 and become embroiled in art
and politics. He and Pevsner opposed Tatlin and in 1920 they issued their Realistic
Manifesto. He had to leave Russia, spending the years 192232 in Berlin, lecturing at Bauhaus
in 1928, before going to England. He spent seven years in Cornwall meeting Hepworth,
Nicholson, Lanyon and others. In 1946 he settled in America, taking citizenship in 1952.

Michael Tedja Aquaholism
Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956791109 Acqn 24387
Hb 24x32cm 442pp 569ills 398col 30

Contributions by Nav Haq and Martijn van Nieuwenhuyzen; interview with Michael Tedja by
Robert van Altena

Michael Tedjas Aquaholism is an exhibition catalogue, a published oeuvre, an artistic treatise, a
poetry collection, a visual essay, an artists book. It is a polyphonic collage of text and image.
More than seventeen years of artistic output unfold between the first and last pages. With its
thoroughness, density, and associative power, the book embodies Tedjas artistic essence:
voluminous, interrelated, and in continuous motion.

The title recalls Tedjas first solo exhibition The Holarium (2002) and highlights his process of
word formation, which infuses his drawing, painting, sculpture, and curatorial work. The Holarium
is a virtual container of fragments of language, rhythm, and in depth examinations, and Holism is
the surge for elevated connections between these different parts. Aquaholism is the act of
collecting these fragments, and the collector, the Aquaholist, scrutinizes discoveries in a
transparent and closed aquariuma space whose contents remain in motion.

Tedjas new terminology serves to open up established systems of sociopolitics, identification,
and aesthetics: the present publication frees concepts from their accepted function. Tedjas
artworks remain similarly pliable and live beyond their initial exhibition. A painting can be
reworked, acquiring three-dimensional objects. Finished texts can accompany a collage, or ignite
a freestanding juncture of preexisting objects. Tedja presents the artist as an active linguist who
translates form and text from the studio to exhibition and public spaces.

Josef Bauer - Works 1965Today
Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790966 Acqn 24388
Pb 22x28cm 208pp 114ills 54col 24

Edited by Krist Gruijthuijsen
Contributions by Hans-Peter Feldmann, Krist Gruijthuijsen, Bettina Steinbrgge, and Thomas
Zaunschirm

We rarely encounter letters or colours outside of their communicative or decorative functions. Yet
detached from the flat surfaces they normally adorn, they become sculptural objects that collapse
the divide between language and bodies.

Works 1965Today stems from a retrospective held at the Grazer Kunstverein showcasing Josef
Bauers experiments with language, colour, and their spatial contexts nearly forty years after his
last exhibition in Graz. His practice combines sculpture, installation, painting, and performance to
disturb our perception of words and colours as mere carriers of meaning. By removing their two-
dimensional context, letters become objects that communicate directly with our bodies in an
unfiltered and urgent language called tactile poetry.

In addition to over one hundred career-spanning works by Bauer, this volume brings together
critical commentary from a variety of experts. In his introduction, Krist Gruijthuijsen illuminates
Bauers tactile poetry as a radical embodiment of 60s Concrete poetry. In an essay from 1974,
Austrian philosopher Thomas Zaunschirm explores Bauers formal bid to transcend the
representational relation of language to images. Situating Bauers practice in a historical context,
Bettina Steinbrgge throws light on the reception and development of his works. The book also
includes a unique visual rejoinder by artist Hans-Peter Feldmann. Works 1965Today is a vital
introduction to thisuntil nowunderrepresented master of letters and their contours.
