Descartes' Daughter
Sternberg Press 2015 ISBN 9783956790423 Acqn 24965
Pb 13x19cm 112pp 12col ills 13
Texts by Melanie Gilligan, Jenny Jaskey, Fionn Meade, Kari Rittenbach, Piper Marshall
Descartes Daughter, edited by Piper Marshall, former curator of the Swiss Institute in New York,
documents the critically lauded 2013 exhibition of the same name as well as continuing its ideas.
Taking the historical account of philosopher Ren Descartes creation of an animatronic effigy of
his deceased young daughter as its foundation, the exhibition explored the traditional divide
between conceptual and expressive works, those dealing with either the mind or the body.
The reader includes five essays that explore the room in between this divide, both within the
works exhibited and beyond. Fionn Meade, curator at the Walker Art Center, submits a poetic
elegy to Ren Descartes, placing his ideas and the discussion around them at the center of this
book. Jenny Jaskey, director and curator of the Artists Institute, writes on scale and the
subjective, metabolic qualities of human. Piper Marshall asks how one can curate a feminist art
exhibition, firmly merging the discussion.

Textiles - Open Letter

Hb 20x25cm 312pp 175ills 100col 27.95
In collaboration with Sabine Folie, Georgia Holz, Susanne Titz
Texts by Elissa Auther, Sabeth Buchmann, Rike Frank, Judith Raum, Seth Siegelaub, Tai Smith,
Georg Vasold, Leire Vergara, Grant Watson
One essential characteristic of textiles is their richly intertextual nature. Their contemporary
appeal and historicity derive from their place in the history of art and culture as well as in the
history of media, society, and technology. Representing traditions found in both applied and fine
arts, textiles hover between formalism and functionalism; as objects and techniques, they
mediate between relations to the self and relations to the world, between affect-driven and
knowledge-driven processes of appropriation. Functionally versatileas objects of utility and
media of an abstract (visual) languagetextiles read as the fulcrum of an ensemble of activities,
and illustrate specific entanglements that, since the beginning of modernity, have transformed the
relations between subject and object, the material and the immaterial, artistic and artisanal
labour, and different cultures.
This publication examines the referential and analytical qualities of textiles through both
contemporary and historical works. The contributions in this book reflect on the complex interplay
between the various functions and connotations of textilessuch as the emphasis on their tactile
qualities or the artistic value attributed to themand the attendant conflicts and antagonisms that
articulate relations of power and value and of the interaction of artistic processes with their
overarching contexts.

Patapiou, Uzma Z. Rizvi, Eike Wittrock, Konstantina Zanou
Published on the occasion of the Cyprus Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale, Two Days after
Forever is not an exhibition catalogue, but rather an alternate temporal manifestation of the
themes of the pavilion itselfin 2015, realized by artist Christodoulos Panayiotou and curated by
Omar Kholeif. Adopting a variety of modes of address, this book acts as a kind of theatre for
considering the questions: How does one choreograph a history that is constantly being reimagined? And, how do we speak of an anthropology of movement?
With critical writing, poetry, open-ended letters, sketches, and provocations through both new and
existing texts, this publication explores materiality as performance and how quiet gestures can
function as subversive counterpoints to homogenous nationalistic narratives. The backdrop,
Cyprus, becomes a site of multiple imaginaries from where this reader will seek to articulate a
new route of escape.

Mirjam Thomann 2015

Pb 21x26cm 96pp 109col ills 14.50
Edited by Eva Maria Stadler and Mirjam Thomann
Contributions by Tom Holert and Eva Maria Stadler
This artists book and monograph presents a broad selection of Mirjam Thomanns work from
2006 to 2015including a ceramic project at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei; spatial
interventions at Galerie Christian Nagel in Cologne and Berlin; an installation at Casco Office
for Art, Design and Theory, Utrecht, later recontextualized for exhibitions in Arnsberg and
Cologne; or a series of display sculptures based on a reconstruction of exhibition architecture
from the 1960s. For all her work, Thomann uses what is at hand at a certain site as an impetus,
as material, space, and terrain.
Along with spreads of 109 color images, 2015 Mirjam Thomann includes a preface by art
historian and curator Eva Maria Stadler and a comprehensive essay on Thomanns work by art
historian, critic, and artist Tom Holert. Stadler reflects on how Thomanns Aufstellungen (setups)
refer back to the history of exhibitions.
Tom Holert insightfully surveys Thomanns exhibitions against the backdrop of four dimensions:
what is at hand, the modular, the periphery, and the practical. He discusses how Thomanns work
effectively draws from the etymology of the term premisee.g., by considering the training to
become an artist, the tradition of a medium, the knowledge of a generation, the canon of a milieu,
the conditions of an institution, the specifications of a spatial situation, the power relations in the
art businesses.
The book, designed by the artist, consists of a text section followed by a sequence of plates, all
equal in size and arranged in a reversed timeline. Next to installation shots, reproductions of
booklets, and invitation cards and images documenting performances, the plates include archive
material collected by the artist such as postcards, video stills, floor plans, and snapshots.

World of Matter is an international project investigating raw materials and the complex ecologies
of which they are a part. In light of the acute problems resulting from human-induced
transformation of the earth and its systems, it is tempting to strike a dramatic tone. However, the
perspective of crisis also calls upon us to reconsiderat a fundamental level, and in slow, subtle,
and unspectacular wayshow we understand and interact with the world of things. The
investigations presented in this book, undertaken in many world regions and post-national
spaces, propose a wide range of aesthetic and ethical approaches to the handling of resources,
while challenging the capitalistic assumption that the planets materials are primarily for human
consumption. By drawing connections between works that derive from artistic practice,
journalism, philosophy, activism, and other realms of research, World of Matter provides a place
of commonality for eco-logical imaginaries.

Edited by Paul Ardenne
Contributions by Paul Ardenne, Jose Hansen, Ingo Niermann
In spaces designed for fusions of dance, performance, film, karaoke, and reading, visitors to the
Luxembourg Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale enter into the collaged headspace of artist Filip
MarkiewiczParadiso Lussemburgo. An artist whose subject is often the various projected and
historical realities of Luxembourg itself, Markiewicz is well prepared to present viewers with a
space to sieve through layers of projected labels (such as tax haven) and waves of immigration to
speak to a blended sense of European nationality that also deftly uses the specific stage of
Venice.
This reader continues, in the words of the artist, this new contemporary mythology of
Luxembourg, with a bilingual layering of drawings, text and analysis, exhibition views, an
interview, and a film script. Paradiso Lussemburgo, a project proposed by Markiewicz and art
critic Paul Ardenne, creates an active theatre, which the reader continues and further opens for
participation.

Edited by Isabelle Graw, Daniel Birnbaum, Institut fr Kunstkritik, Frankfurt am Main
First published in German in 1987, this is artist and writer Jutta Koethers meditation on painting.
In novella form, f. follows several disembodied female characters as they consider velvet, coral,
the curtain, money, colour, red. These objects, these things, help the narrator and other
characters come into being, but it is paintings that embody who the narrator really is: Even if Im
their hostage when I look at them, Im not inferior to them. I lie down, stand, or sit in front of them
and, in this moment, Im everything they affect in me. Unlike people, paintings are fixed, explicit
with their intentions and challengesin the end they will still be here, outlasting those who made
them or who looked at them. A facsimile of the original German publication is included in this
volume.

Giambattista Marino - The Massacre Of The Innocents

Wakefield Press 2015 ISBN 9781939663085 Acqn 24588
Pb 15x23cm 310pp 2ills 14
A finely crafted epic and literary monstrosity from the seventeenth-century "poet of the
marvelous": the harrowing account, in four bloody cantos, of King Herod and his campaign to
murder the male infants of his kingdom to prevent the loss of his throne to the prophesied King of
the Jews. The book starts in the pits of Hell, where the Devil stokes the flames of Herod's
paranoid bloodlust in his troubled sleep, and concludes in the heights of Heaven where the
"unarmed champions" march on to eternal glory. In between is an account of physical and
political brutality that unfortunately holds too clear a mirror to world events today. The Massacre
of the Innocents describes unbelievable cruelty while championing the nobility of suffering, all
brilliantly translated and presented in ottava rima.
Italian poet and adventurer Giambattista Marino (15691625) was deemed "the king of his age,"
and his very name came to define the style of an epoch: marinismo, a shorthand summation of
the bizarre inventiveness and ornate excesses of Baroque poetry. In and out of jail, and escaping
an assassination attempt by a rival, Marino spent a good part of his life in Northern Italy and
France before returning to his birthplace of Naples. His most famous work, L'Adone (Adonis),
stands as one of the longest Italian epics ever written, and for two centuries was deemed a
monstrous epitome of Baroque bad taste.

Unica Zurn - The Trumpets Of Jericho

Pb 12x18cm 80pp 3ills 10
This fierce fable of childbirth by German Surrealist Unica Zrn was written after she had already
given birth to two children and undergone the self-induced abortion of another in Berlin in the
1950s. Beginning in the relatively straightforward, if disturbing, narrative of a young woman in a
tower (with a bat in her hair and ravens for company) engaged in a psychic war with the parasitic
son in her belly, The Trumpets of Jericho dissolves into a beautiful nightmare of hypnotic
obsession and mythical language, stitched together with anagrams and private ruminations.
Arguably Zrn's most extreme experiment in prose, and never before translated into English, this
novella dramatizes the frontiers of the bodyits defensive walls as well as its cavities and
thresholdsanimating a harrowing and painfully, twistedly honest depiction of motherhood as a
breakdown in the distinction between self and other, transposed into the language of darkest fairy
tales.
Unica Zrn (191670) was born in Grnewald, Germany. Toward the end of World War II, she
discovered the realities of the Nazi concentration campsa revelation which was to haunt and
unsettle her for the rest of her life. After meeting Hans Bellmer in 1953, she followed him to Paris,
where she became acquainted with the Surrealists and developed the body of drawings and
writings for which she is best remembered: a series of anagram poems, hallucinatory accounts
and literary enactments of the mental breakdowns from which she would suffer until her suicide in
1970.

Leon Bloy - Disagreeable Tales

Pb 15x23cm 200pp 1ills 13.50
Thirty tales of theft, onanism, incest, murder and a host of other forms of perversion and cruelty
from the "ungrateful beggar" and "pilgrim of the absolute," Lon Bloy. Disagreeable Tales, first
published in French in 1894, collects Bloy's narrative sermons from the depths: a cauldron of
frightful anecdotes and inspired misanthropy that represents a high point of the French Decadent
movement and the most emblematic entry into the library of the "Cruel Tale" christened by Villiers
de l'Isle-Adam. Whether depicting parents and offspring being sacrificed for selfish gains, or
imbeciles sacrificing their own individuality on a literary whim, these tales all draw sustenance
from an underlying belief: the root of religion is crime against man, nature and God, and that in
this hell on earth, even the worst among us has a soul.
A close friend to Joris-Karl Huysmans, and later admired by the likes of Kafka and Borges, Lon
Bloy (18461917) is among the best known but least translated of the French Decadent writers.
Nourishing antireligious sentiments in his youth, his outlook changed radically when he moved to
Paris and came under the influence of Barbey d'Aurevilly, the unconventionally religious novelist
best known for Les Diaboliques. He earned the dual nicknames of "The Pilgrim of the Absolute"
through his unorthodox devotion to the Catholic Church, and "The Ungrateful Beggar" through his
endless reliance on the charity of friends to support him and his family.

Henry Moore - Wunderkammer. Origin of Forms

Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2015 ISBN 9781938748110 Acqn 24874
Hb 26x28cm 190pp 178ills 100col 89.95
A giant of modern sculpture, Moore engaged the abstract, the surreal, the primitive and the
classical in vigorous corporeal forms that are as accessible and familiar as they are avant-garde.
His large-scale works celebrate the power of organic imagery at a time when traditional
representation was largely eschewed by the vanguard art establishment. Their overwhelming
physicality and forceful presence promotes a charged relation between sculpture, site, and
viewer.
This special exhibition explores the origins and processes behind Moores sculptures by
recreating his maquette studio at Perry Greennow home to The Henry Moore Foundationat
the Davies Street gallery. His Wunderkammer of natural stones, shells, bones, animal skulls, and
other found objects will be presented alongside the drawings and sculptural maquettes that they
inspired, demonstrating the metamorphosis from nature to sculpture, from inanimate object to
human or animal form, that was the impetus of his oeuvre. Moore often cast natural specimens
into plaster without further intervention as the first step of their absorption into his vast figurative
idiom. Progressions can be traced between organic elements, preliminary sketches, maquettes
and finished bronzesfor example, the amorphous totemic stack contoured in a 1955 maquette
that is monumentalized in Upright Motive No. 5 (195556). These fluid evolutions also occur in
reverse, as in the Studies after Crucifixion Sculpture (195456) executed in pencil and ink.
These, and more than sixty works on paper, treat pebbles, trees, sheep, birds, Moore's own
hands, and nude figures, demonstrating the sheer breadth of biomorphic subjects that find
tenuous harmonies in visionary monumental sculpture.

Ed Ruscha Paintings
Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2015 ISBN 9781938748134 Acqn 25013
Hb 34x25cm 56pp 27ills 25col 52.95
In 2005, Ruscha represented the U.S. at the Biennale di Venezia with Course of Empire, a project
inspired by five paintings by Thomas Cole which depicted the same landscape over time as it
transforms from a pristine natural state into developed terrain, and, finally, barren desolation. In
the elegiac Psycho Spaghetti Westerns of 2011, he continued this train of thought, zooming in on
the effects of time on the contemporary American landscape in a manner both empirical and
metaphorically charged. He described these finely nuanced exercises in perception and memory
as "waste and retrieval."
In these wide horizontal paintings, landscape became a mental construct of abutting abstract
surfacesone a sfumato backdrop, the other a representational ground (grass, scrub, rock). This
structurea strong diagonal cutting the picture plane and dividing background from foreground
is a pictorial device that Ruscha has often used, dating back as far as the Standard Station
paintings of the 1960s. In the Psycho Spaghetti Westerns it provided a near-neutral picture plane
for meticulously rendered nature mortes of incidental roadside trash"gators" (tire shreds), beer
cans, construction materials, packaging, and discarded bedding. In keeping with the historical
painting genre, they provide reflection on time passing.

Pb 17x24cm 320pp 250ills 200col 43.50
Beyond Books is the first publication to focus on the books and printed matter of Alighiero Boetti
(194094), including his artist's books, posters, exhibition invitations and work emerging from his
long association with the newspaper Il Manifesto. Printed matter, text and language were critical
for the artist, who believed "if you really want something, get it down in writing." A pioneer of the
artist's book, Boetti used the particularities of the format to penetrate beyond surface
appearancesfor example in his legendary 1977 book Classifying the Thousand Longest Rivers
in the World, which lists the world's longest rivers and their lengths in a deadpan attempt to order
the disorderly natural world. This volume explores the development of a new concept of the book
in Boetti's oeuvre, where reading and looking become part of the same aesthetic experience.

Freak Art Scrapbook

Corbett vs. Dempsey 2015 ISBN 9780988449282 Acqn 24636
Edited by Julia V. Hendrickson. Introduction by John Corbett. Conversation with John Corbett,
Josiah McElheny.
In 1913, the year that the Armory Show hit Chicago, an anonymous Chicago artist gathered every
newspaper clipping from the infamous Art Institute exhibition into an extraordinary handmade
document. Freak Art Scrapbook presents this folk ledger documenting the key presentation of
early twentieth-century American and European modernist art, a collection of witty and vitriolic
snippets from the popular press, much of it dripping with satire as an entire city took to
lampooning modern art. Lovingly reproduced in all its bilious, acidic yellow, sporting pre-jazz
cartoons that snicker at Marcel Duchamp's iconic "Nude Descending a Staircase," the scrapbook
is a complex, multilayered artifact, not only a register of the Midwestern response to modernism,
but also a fascinating glimpse of the central arguments about populism and the vanguard of art.

Published to mark three decades of his artistic activity, this collection contains approximately 100
works selected by Yoshitomo Nara himself, including new drawings. Most of his works depict a
single, seemingly innocuous subject, often large-eyed children or stylised animals drawn with
confident, cartoonish lines. The looks that characterise many of his child-like subjects are
especially peculiar, appearing at once mischievous, irritated, or accusatory. Others simply seem
benign, patiently waiting until the observer moves on to the next one. This compilation of works
on paper is undoubtedly an essential volume for Naras devout fans, as well as newcomers to his
work.

Mark Lewis - Above And Below

This publication presents a series of seven films: 'The Pitch' (1998), 'Cold Morning' (2009),

'The Moving Image' (2011), and 'Above and Below the Minhoco' (2014). Mark Lewis' short, silent
sequence-shots, like the early films of the Lumire brothers, operate by extracting a fragment of
reality in a unity of time, space and action. Anything which arises as the images unfold is a
product of that random moment of life. Lewis favours the chance emergence of an event, over a
constructed narrative, the incursion of something unexpected over the reconstitution of a scene.

LP 31x31cm 18
Kamran Sadeghi, New York-based musician and member of the Soundwalk Collective,
contributed the musical score for Mario Pfeifers video installation Approximation in the digital age
for a humanity condemned to disappear (2014). For his digital compositions Sadeghi, in dialogue
with Pfeifer, took the field recordings made by missionary and anthropologist Martin Gusinde in
1923 of Yaghan chants in Bahia Mejillones as point of departure and reference. The chantsone
of which is digitally reproduced on the LPare the only documents of their kind of the religious
ceremonies and rites of the Yaghans, who have inhabited the southernmost parts of the world for
more than 6,500 years and were, at that time, living on Shunuko, an island today known as Isla
Navarino, in Tierra del Fuego. The original field recordings were made on wax cylinders, which
are housed today at the Ethnological Museum of Berlin where they were digitalized.
The artwork for the LP was created by Markus Weisbeck, who also designed the accompanying
publication, Friendly Approximation. The design is based on photographs and video stills of
Approximation as well as reproductions from the Anthropos Institute in Sankt Augustin, Germany,
which hosts Gusindes estate.
The publication and LP are published on the occasion of solo exhibitions at Museo Nacional de
Bellas Artes Museo sin Muros, Santiago, Chile (2014), KOW, Berlin (2015), and CIRCA
Projects, Newcastle upon Tyne (2015). They also serves as an appendix to the multichannel
video installation produced by Mario Pfeifer on Tierra del Fuego, Chile, which was nominated for
the German Competition at the 61st International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2015) and had
its world premiere at Migrating Forms, New York (2014). The publication Friendly Approximation

Hughie O'Donoghue - Permanent Green

Marlborough Fine Art 2015 ISBN 9781909707184 Acqn 25071
Permanent Green is concerned with the ways we understand place, nature and memory and how
these ideas intersect. Ten large scale paintings make up the principal body of this new work,
which is rooted in the raw and elemental countryside of County Mayo in the west of
Ireland. ODonoghue has visited the area frequently since childhood, both sides of his family
having emigrated from Ireland during the early 20th century. As he arrived in Mayo as a child
from the urban environment of Manchester, a sense of wonder in nature would dominate his
experience. This sense endures as an imaginative presence and reference point
in the artists work and is returned to both literally and figuratively.
The works in Permanent Green can be understood not as landscape paintings but rather as
sensory memorials to places half imagined and half real. They attempt to chart the emotional and
memorial experience of place, exposing the blurring of fact and fiction in our sense of our
surroundings. Investigating the desire to map and name places, they deal with both the natural
and the artificial elements of place. Amongst depictions of water, fire and earth there stand built
structures and other examples of human intervention in nature.
The exhibition takes its title from the name of a shade of paint and thus Permanent Green refers
both to the endurance of nature and to the act of painting itself. Indeed, the principle subject of
the exhibition is as much the act of painting as it is the scenes depicted.

NS Harsha - Upward Movement

Victoria Miro Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780992709280 Acqn 25079
One of the most significant Indian artists of his generation, Harsha draws on a broad spectrum of
Indian artistic and figurative painting traditions and popular arts as well as the western art canon.
He has worked across a range of media including painting, sculpture, installation and
performance. Individual paintings focus on musicians and dancers and on langur monkeys and
cows, both of which are venerated in Hindu culture. The figures are depicted in a flat, shallow
space on backgrounds featuring a single strong colour. There is a musical connotation to the
compositions; the figures, in orderly rows, suggest notes on musical staves, and their recurrence
and variety can be seen as a visual analogy for chanting and other repetitive or cyclical musical
structures.

Idris Khan - Conflicting Lines

Victoria Miro Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780993179808 Acqn 25080
Working across mediums including sculpture, painting and photography, Khan is well known for
his large-scale works, which use techniques of layering to arrive at what might be considered the
essence of an image, and to create something entirely new through repetition and
superimposition. For his exhibition at Victoria Miro Mayfair, Khan has produced large-scale
composite photographs made from a series of oil stick paintings. These have gone through an
intensive process of overlaying lines of writing repeatedly painted onto a minimal ground, until the
language becomes obscured. Documenting the journey of the paintings, Khan collects details of
the line from every angle, and in doing so has the ability to constantly change its nature. The
words are a response to the barrage of media images of conflict that are 'un-escapable' in today's
world. By using Roland Barthes' theory of the 'punctum', Khan writes about a certain personal
touching detail of an object or person that jumps out of the photograph and holds his gaze.

Herbarium Taste - The Four Seasons

Corraini Editore 9788875704681 Acqn 25062
'Herbarium Taste' is a graphic project designed to be eaten: a collection, a nutritional herbarium
divided into seasons. Fruits and vegetables are represented in a simple and essential way, and
they are then sectioned to reveal the valuable resources contained within. This book is not a
treatise on medicine, nor is it a boring health lesson; it is an easy way of showing that there is
something important in each piece of fruit or vegetable, and that it would be good for our well
being to include them in our repertoire of recipes. It is a small educational manual that lists
nutritional information and pieces of trivia, like crumbs of knowledge to be eaten up in one
mouthful.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Kunstverein Mnchen, this catalogue is presented

themes which are better suited to the printed medium or demand another kind of involvement.
Anne-Mie Van Kerckhovens works involve painting, drawing, digital media, and video, and reflect
her fascination from a female point of view with the representation of women in mass media, the
connections between sex and technology, different knowledge systems, and the unconscious.
Besides numerous works, projects, and images, the book includes insightful explanations by the
artist.

Tim Head Fictions

Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261204 Acqn 24750
Published on the occasion of an eponymous exhibition of Tim Heads work at Parafin in London,
this slim volume presents his explorations into the geometric abstraction of the circle via digital
means. The work focuses on the digital mediums elusive material substance and on our evolving
relationship to it as a physical entity, deploying its basic material elements (pixel, coded
instruction, inkjet dot) to give this substance a resonating presence in our physical space. With
fields of colour and densely overlapping layers of infinite lines, Head constructs infinite, deeply
psychedelic spaces without perspective or possibility of decay that reveal the illusory quality of
this digital dimension.

Monika Sosnowska Architectonisation

Fundacao De Serralves 2015 ISBN 9789727393183 Acqn 24933
Pb 21x26cm 100pp col ills 28
Polish artist Monika Sosnowska uses the medium of space, often playing with the viewers
perceptions by modifying existing architecture and transforming physical space. Especially
interesting for her are the moments when physical space begins to take on the characteristics of
mental space. Published on the occasion of the largest museum survey of Sosnowskas work to
date, this book reveals her engagement with architectural language as an expression of individual
and collective memory. Texts by Suzanne Cotter and Gabriela witek examine influences of
Eastern European modernism and the post-modern expansion of sculptural terms to situate her
work in the 21st century.
