Save Me: A 

Conversation Across 

the City 

A Search Party Project 

artists: Search Party (Jodie Hawkes, 

Pete Phillips) 

compiled by Ben Francombe, Jodie Hawkes, 

Pete Phillips 

For two hours each day, for 11 

days during Mayfest, Bristol-based 

performance duo, Search Party, 

spoke to each other across the 

reaches of Bristol harbour, using 

semaphore. Save Me now returns 

as a book, both as a reflection of a 

remarkable few days in spring, when 

a very simple act of performance 

enveloped a part of the city with 

its striking representation of the 

struggles of distant connection, 

but also as a celebration of the 

contribution of passers-by who 

wrote of their own feelings of love 

and separation on little yellow tags, 

that became the backdrop for the 

event. Search Party wants to share 

these yellow tags and, perhaps, in 

the process, a few more thoughts 

on the acts of coding and decoding 

that occur in our daily acts of 

communication.

Lucian Freud: 

Drawings 

Selected by William Feaver 

texts by William Feaver, Mark Rosenthal 

Lucian Freud: Drawings brings 

together a compilation of Lucian 

Freud’s graphic work selected with 

the assistance of the late artist. 

Beginning in the 1940s and spanning 

the artist’s career, this densely 

illustrated volume features a number 

of the works never before exhibited 

or reproduced. Distinguished 

writer and art critic William Feaver 

presents works that range from the 

intimate to landscapes and studies 

of animals. Etchings, watercolours, 

gouaches and works rendered in 

chalk, charcoal, pastel, conté, and 

pen and ink, are interspersed with 

oil paintings, constantly interrelating. 

William Feaver is the former art critic 

for London’s Observer newspaper. 

Mark Rosenthal is adjunct curator at 

the Norton Museum of Art in West 

Palm Beach, Florida. Published by

Turning the Seventh Corner 

Cornerhouse 


Self Made 

A Film by Gillian Wearing 

directed by Gillian Wearing 

Drawing Room 


DuMont Buchverlag 

distributed by Cornerhouse in the UK 

Rachel Howard’s works are like 

psychological snares: they capture 

an essence of life that seldom 

materialises in painting. Her large 

canvases are horizontal and vertical 

planes of architecture, their form and 

shape coaxed into being with the 

assistance of gravity. Her figurative 

works combine the simple elegance 

of drawing with the complex 

expressive qualities of painting. Vivid 

colours and heavy gloss are layered 

to construct luminous, shiny surfaces 

that look seductively wet. As if alive, 

her works seem better described 

as ‘layers of emotion’ and ‘limitless 

poetry’ than mere compositions of oil, 

acrylic, and household gloss: they 

are skins of paint. This publication 

offers a comprehensive overview 

of Howard’s artistic practice to 

date, presenting the chronological 

development of her work. Divided 

into separate chapters, the paintings 

and drawings convey the sense that 

the drawn image assumes a distinct 

role in her practice, and yet, these 

two are undeniably linked as the 

drawings often inform the painted 

forms. Published on the occasion of 

the exhibition Rachel Howard: Folie à 

Deux at Blain|Southern, London, 12

foreword by David Adjaye 

edited by Louisa Elderton, Mark Inglefield, 

Eloise Maxwell 

Tim Noble & Sue Webster: Turning 

the Seventh Corner comprehensively 

documents the conception and 

realisation of the artists’ recent 

exhibition at Blain|Southern, 

Berlin. A monumental, site-specific 

installation, Turning the Seventh 

Corner was created by Noble 

and Webster in collaboration 

with the architect David Adjaye. 

The installation responded to the 

monumental tombs of the Egyptian 

Pharaohs and was specifically 

inspired by The Great Pyramid of 

Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of 

the Ancient World. This publication 

includes intriguing images, drawings 

and diagrams which chart the 

development of the work, and the 

artists’ own photographs reveal 

the intricate process of how the 

installation’s internal sculpture, 

The Gamekeeper’s Gibbet was 

created. A foreword written by David 

Adjaye, which describes the working 

relationship between himself and 

the artists, is accompanied by both 

James Putnam’s essay, formerly 

a curator of the British Museum’s 

Egyptian Antiquities Collection, 

and an interview between the three 

collaborators conducted by curator 

Louisa Elderton.

Cornerhouse, with Asia Triennial 

Manchester 11, presents this 

accompanying publication on the 

occasion of the first major UK 

public solo show from Rashid 

Rana (Cornerhouse, Manchester, 

October – December 2011; New 

Art Exchange, Nottingham, January 

– March 2012). Included are new 

and recent works that cut across 

conventional notions of the scale 

and status of the photographic 

object, opening up its potential 

to represent cultural, social and 

physical realities. The works in this 

exhibition blur the divide between 

two and three-dimensional forms to 

challenge the viewer’s understanding 

of the world in which they live. 

Photo sculptures, large-scale photo 

mosaics, installations and new video 

work subvert perception of size and 

structure and urge us to look deeper 

into the relationship between the 

fragment and the bigger picture.

Self Made is the debut documentary 

feature from Turner Prize winning 

artist Gillian Wearing. Filmed on 

location in Newcastle it follows 

adverts that ask the public: ‘If 

you were to play a part in a film, 

would you be yourself or a fictional 

character’ Successful applicants 

were cast, undertaking a method 

workshop and subsequently featuring 

in the final film. Wearing makes 

the provocation that in a world 

where CCTV, reality television and 

‘fictionalised’ documentary make us 

all into performers, reality and fiction 

are interchangeable commodities. 

Are we all playing a role, consciously 

or unconsciously In addition to 

the full feature film, the DVD extras 

include previously unseen footage 

from two of the seven participants. 

Previous solo shows include the 

Serpentine Gallery, London, ICA 

Philadelphia, MCA Chicago and the 

Musée Rodin, Paris, with exhibitions 

in 2012 at the Whitechapel Gallery, 

London and K21m Dusseldorf. Her 

work is also held in the collections of 

the Tate and the Museum of Modern 

Art, New York.

Graphology considers the range 

of graphic devices, used by artists 

working across the disciplines of film, 

photography, painting and sculpture, 

to mediate direct experience. The 

scope of the exhibition reaches back 

to the beginning of the twentieth 

century and includes artists working 

today with techniques that translate 

direct experience into different forms 

of systematised representation, 

between the trace and the sign, 

between writing and drawing. The 

exhibition and book renew questions 

about medium-specificity through 

the combination of works from 

different eras and created by various 

technologies. The featured artworks 

investigate the human hand as a 

living seismograph of inner life, yet 

concurrently address the ‘mechanical 

unconscious of the machine’ which 

imposes itself on the human eye.

Emil Nolde 

The Journey to the South Seas 

1913 – 1914 

edited by Manfred Reuther 

In October 1913 the German 

Expressionist artists Emil Nolde 

(1867 – 1956) and his wife, Ada, 

joined a government-sponsored 

expedition to German New Guinea, 

travelling by way of Siberia, Korea, 

Japan, China and the Philippines. 

Nolde had a life-long fascination 

with the art of non-European 

cultures, admiring its directness and 

expressiveness. During his year-long 

trip he constantly drew and painted 

what he saw around him completely 

absorbed by the indigenous people’s 

close harmony with nature. This 

superbly produced book presents the 

vibrant landscapes and portraits that 

Nolde created during his travels and 

includes Ada’s engaging recollections 

of the journey published here for the 

first time.

Believing is Seeing 

artists: Je Baak, Duck Hyun Cho, Seihon Cho,

Oh, Hyun Mi Yoo 

texts by David Drake, Jiyoon Lee 

On the occasion of the exhibition 

Believing is Seeing at Ffotogallery 

(November – December 2011), 

this new publication focuses on the 

work of seven Korean artists who 

each adopt different approaches 

to contemporary photography or 

photography-based work. Focusing 

on some common themes in 

contemporary Korean photographic 

art, the publication expands on the 

themes explored in the exhibition. 

The term Junsinsaj, used in 

traditional Korean portrait painting, 

signifies the replication of a person’s 

shape and spirit. This means that 

taking a photograph of a person 

is not restricted to a replication of 

their physical likeness, but should 

also embody the essence of their 

personality. Inverting the Western 

idiom ‘seeing is believing’, the 

exhibition features artists with 

markedly different strategies in 

relation to photographic portraiture, 

but who all reject any approach to 

photography that emphasises visual 

verification and purely mechanical 

reproduction.

Inside the View 

Helen Sear 

texts by David Chandler, Sharon Morris 

Inside the View brings together for 

the first time key bodies of work 

produced by Helen Sear over the 

last 25 years, reflecting the artist’s 

exploration of the relationship 

between colour and form, figure 

and ground, the visible and the 

unseen. Helen Sear’s photographic 

practice has developed from a fine 

art background in performance, 

film and installation work in the 

1980s and she continues to explore 

ideas of vision, touch and the 

representation of the nature of 

experience, combining drawing, 

lens-based media and digital 

technologies. Sear’s work challenges 

the dominant view of photography as 

a documentary medium, questioning 

its indexical relationship with the 

world. Photography, whether in its 

analogue or digital form, may enable 

us to view in close up the surface 

detail of objects, but in doing so 

our perceptual experience of them 

becomes more ambiguous and 

fragmented, belying their unity and 

coherence.

Works on Memory 

Daniel Blaufuks 

texts by David Drake, David Campany, 

Filipa Oliveira, Mark Durden, Derrick Price, 

Eileen Little 

Published on the occasion of his 

exhibition at Ffotogallery, Works on 

Memory charts the last 10 years of 

Portuguese artist Daniel Blaufuks’ 

practice. The distinct format of the 

book is based on designs by the 

French publishing imprint Série Noire 

who released detective thrillers in 

the 1950s. Daniel Blaufuks is an 

artist fascinated by the processes 

of memory – how we construct 

meaning in our lives through the 

accrual of details and traces, from 

the mental residue and after-images 

of our daily existence. Blaufuks is 

interested not only in the ways that 

photography and film are changing 

as media, but also in the methods by 

which we archive, store and retrieve 

information – our ability to remember. 

His photographic images of film 

canisters, cassette tapes, celluloid 

film strips and negatives etc. remind 

us that as each analogue ‘memory 

container’ is superceded by new 

technological developments, our 

capacity to record data may increase 

exponentially, but something is also 

lost in the process. For Blaufuks, 

photography is more than simply a 

trigger for retrieving past memories. 

Photography is memory.

Hans Kotter 

Light Flow 

texts by Annett Zinsmeister, Kai-Uwe Hemken 

Colour and light are the main 

themes in Hans Kotter’s work, 

which comprises photography, light 

objects, and installations. It is the 

playful treatment of a wide range of 

materials such as oil, water, acrylic 

glass, stainless steel, chrome etc. 

and their effects in relation to light 

and colour which fascinates the 

artist and inspires him to try out new 

forms of expression continually. The 

abstraction of colour and light creates 

diffuse landscapes, the illusion of 

distance, mysterious waves, the 

impression of water, shimmering heat 

or the finest of fabrics, which seem 

to glide across the picture surface 

in undulating folds. The apparent 

materiality of Kotter’s unmanipulated 

photographs of the immaterial – of 

light and colour – points to their 

origins in painting, yet at the same 

time they document physical 

processes. The incredible degree 

of beauty, opulence, brilliance and 

simultaneous mystery with which 

natural scientific insights can be 

manifest in art is quite remarkable. 

Included is an interview with Hans 

Kotter.

Haunch of Venison 


Ahmed Alsoudani 

text by Suzannah Biernoff 

This catalogue features works from 

the first solo show in Britain by 

acclaimed Iraqi-born artist Ahmed 

Alsoudani. In this new series of 

paintings, Alsoudani continues 

his complex exploration of war 

and conflict, its physical atrocities 

and psychological consequences. 

Featuring deformed, almost bestial, 

figures twisting in vivid and surreal 

landscapes, these tableaux are 

often laced with a barbed or morbid 

humour in the manner of artists 

such as Francisco Goya and Max 

Beckmann among others. Imagery of 

devastation and violence abounds, 

with figures depicted at the moment 

of a dramatic transition – through 

fear or agony – from the human 

to the grotesque. While Alsoudani 

acknowledges the influence of many 

artists on his work – from Caravaggio 

to Carroll Dunham – he has at the 

same time developed his own unique 

pictorial language, one based on his 

personal experiences of growing up 

in Baghdad under Saddam Hussein’s 

regime during the first Gulf War 

and of the more recent Iraq conflict.

Edward Barber & Jay 

Osgerby 

Ascent 

text by Thomas Phongsathorn 

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby are 

two of the most innovative design 

practitioners working in Britain today. 

Recently chosen to design the 

Olympic Torch for the London 2012 

Games, they engage in many forms 

of design, from industrial design 

to architecture. Their collaborative 

exhibition Ascent, presented eight 

new pieces (and related drawings) 

inspired by the structures and 

engineered forms of moving craft: 

forms that have, what Barber and 

Osgerby refer to as ‘hidden design’. 

Interest in these fields originated in 

their respective childhoods. Osgerby 

grew up close to a Royal Airforce 

base in Oxfordshire and spent many 

hours watching the airplanes flying 

there. Barber developed a fascination 

with boat design while sailing as 

a child. Ascent references these 

moving craft, for example in the finlike 

shape of Foil V, a wall mounted 

brass structure, or the satellite shape 

of Planform Array V, an angular, 

hanging chandelier comprising of 

eight segments that are fixed around 

a central axis. Published on the 

occasion of the exhibition Ascent 

at Haunch of Venison, London, 24

Enrico Castellani 

Castellani e Castellani 

text by Marcia E. Vetrocq 

Castellani e Castellani is a special 

exhibition of both new and seminal 

work by Enrico Castellani, one of 

Italy’s most influential artists. The 

show features new paintings that 

continue the dialogue set forth in his 

formative Angolare series as well 

as presents his critically acclaimed 

Spazio Ambiente, a room-like 

environment from 1970 that has 

rarely been exhibited publicly, and 

which is graciously on loan from the 

Fendi collection. Although created 

decades apart, the works exemplify 

Castellani’s signature style and 

merge art, space and architecture to 

transcend the confines of painting. 

Formally trained as an architect, 

Castellani focuses on manipulating 

the surface configurations of his 

canvases to alter perceptions of 

space. In a recent interview with the 

artist, Hans Ulrich Obrist described 

Castellani’s break from traditionally 

conceived paintings as ‘an epiphany’.

Richard Long 

Karoo Highveld: Works from 

South Africa 

text by Ben Tuffnell 

Renowned British conceptual and 

land artist, Richard Long presents his 

first solo exhibition of works made 

in southern Africa over the last 50 

years. His fascination with land and 

walking translates, in this exhibition, 

into large-scale installations made 

using rocks recovered from the 

Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng, 

wall-text interventions and 

photographs. Long made his first 

trip to Africa in 1969 to climb Mount 

Kilimanjaro. His journey culminated 

with his creating, and then leaving, 

a sculpture on the summit. Since 

this early work, the internationally 

renowned artist has maintained an 

affinity for Africa’s diverse landscapes 

and has returned to the continent 

several times over the years to 

create his unique sculptural works 

directly in the landscape. Twice, in 

2004 and 2009, Long visited South 

Africa and produced works in the 

Karoo and in the Highveld, near to 

the Cradle of Humankind. Published 

by Haunch of Venison on the 

occasion of the exhibition (supported 

by British Council) at Iziko South

Polly Morgan 

Psychopomps 

texts by Tom Hunt, Anthony Haden-Guest 

interview with the artist by Guy Kennaway 

Psychopomps was Polly Morgan’s 

first solo exhibition with Haunch of 

Venison in 2010. It consisted of four 

suspended taxidermy sculptures, 

each poised between metamorphosis 

and flight. Named Psychopomps 

after the mythical creatures that 

conduct souls into the after-life, their 

historical representation includes 

Hermes and Charon from Greek 

mythology, the Valkyries from Norse 

myth, Anubis the jackal-headed 

Egyptian God, and in various 

cultures, horses, bees, birds and 

shamans. In Morgan’s vision, these 

winged creatures are represented as 

a fabulous troupe made up of a flying 

machine, a bright red cardinal held in 

a human ribcage carried by balloons, 

and two winged cornucopias. The 

flying machine offers a fantastical 

inversion of the life of a caged bird. 

Rather than imprisoned, these 

flame-coloured finches fly above 

their cage, carrying it off as if to 

another world. Inert but seemingly 

poised to journey somewhere far 

away Morgan’s Psychopomps are 

hybrids that evoke, on the one hand, 

the metaphoric nature of these soul 

conductors, and on the other, the 

traditions of taxidermy and its attempt 

to reinvigorate the bodies of dead 

animals.

The Mystery of 

Appearance 

Conversations Between Ten 

British Post-War Painters 

artists: David Hockney, Euan Uglow, Francis 

Bacon, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, Lucian 

Freud, Michael Andrews, Patrick Caulfield, 

Richard Hamilton, William Coldstream 

text by Catherine Lampert, Tom Hunt 

The Mystery of Appearance is a 

fresh appraisal of 10 British artists 

with a display of over 40 paintings 

and drawings including works that 

haven’t been on public display 

for decades. In the mid-twentieth 

century this group of artists revived 

portrait and landscape painting 

at a time when abstract painting 

dominated. Their continued influence 

on a younger generation of artists 

is demonstrated by the powerful 

hold figurative art has today. The 

exhibition examines the influence of 

the personal relationships between 

these artists and looks at the way 

their conversations impacted on 

the development of their work, 

demonstrating that despite their 

wide-ranging styles they are each 

linked by a desire to catch what 

Bacon describes as ‘the mystery of 

appearance within the mystery of 

making’, and in doing so broke new 

ground in contemporary painting.

Roger Hiorns 

Engines 

text by Tom Morton 

foreword by Caroline Douglas 

Roger Hiorns is perhaps best known 

for sculptures made by dipping 

objects into copper sulphate to 

encrust their surfaces with glittering 

blue barnacles. In Nunhead (2004), 

a pair of BMW car engines has 

been transformed using this process 

to create a sculpture of jewel-like 

beauty. In 2010 the artist was 

commissioned by the Art Institute 

of Chicago to produce a work 

consisting of two decommissioned 

aircraft engines that were once part 

of military surveillance planes. Hiorns 

has explored his further interest in 

machine forms in this work, and has 

subjected the engines to material 

alteration. In Untitled (Alliance) 

(2011), he has incorporated crushed 

forms of three pharmaceuticals – 

Effexor, Citalopram and Mannitol 

– which are used to treat trauma and 

depression.

Henry Moore 

text by Benedict Read 

foreword by Caroline Douglas 

This beautiful, small-format book 

not only presents a number of key 

works by this major sculptor, but 

also examines his early relationship 

with the Arts Council Collection, as 

advisor to its acquisitions committee 

during the early 1950s. Moore was a 

major force in shaping the sculpture 

collection of the ACC, advocating the 

acquisition of a significant group of 

post-war British sculpture by artists 

including Kenneth Armitage, Lynn 

Chadwick and Barbara Hepworth. 

Moore himself is strongly represented 

in the Collection by 11 powerful 

sculptures, as well as 15 works 

on paper spanning five decades. 

These works provide a succinct 

history of Henry Moore’s practice 

between 1929 and 1962, with key 

developments in both two and threedimensional 

works illustrated in this 

unique and rigorously researched 

little book alongside important 

documentary material.

New Chinese Sculpture 

Five Artists from China 

artists: Liang Shoij, Gu Dexin, Cai Guo-Qiang, 

Xu Xhen, Sun Yuan/Peng Yu 

texts by Stephanie Rosenthal and others 

Amongst a host of exhibitions and 

books surveying ‘New Art from 

China’, this title stands out as a 

uniquely focussed and daring 

investigation of Chinese sculpture 

and installation. Taking five artists as 

exemplary and illustrating their most 

powerful and engaging works, the 

book traces a very particular seam 

of performative Chinese art from the 

late 1980s to the present. The artists 

featured here privilege performance, 

the body and individual expression 

in their works. Often working on a 

grand scale, they invite the audience 

to engage with overwhelming, yet 

ephemeral experiences – works 

which transform or even disappear 

over time. Published to coincide 

with a major exhibition at London’s 

Hayward Gallery (September – 

December 2012), this lavishly 

illustrated book explores the political, 

social and cultural conditions that 

have shaped contemporary Chinese 

sculpture of this kind.

Freud on Holiday 

Volume III 

The Forgetting of a 

Proper Name 

artist: Sharon Kivland 

edited by Simon Morris, Nick Thurston, 

Eleni Saroglou 

translation by Eleanna Panagou 

The third volume in the series Freud 

on Holiday describes a number of 

holiday possibilities, the problem of 

deciding where to go and when, the 

matters of cost and convenience, of 

appropriate companions and correct 

context. There are descriptions of 

train itineraries, of hotel rooms and 

restaurant menus, but the name of 

one restaurant resists recall for most 

of the book. There is a surprising 

connection with hysteria and 

another name is forgotten en route, 

accompanied by an embarrassing 

error in chronology. At last, forgotten 

names are remembered, although an 

image that has been talked away is 

not seen again.

Freud on Holiday 

Appendix I: Freud’s Weather 

Appendix II: Freud’s Dining 


edited by Simon Morris, Nick Thurston 

Almost every year Sigmund Freud 

went on holiday, often accompanied 

by his brother Alexander, an expert 

on railway transport, timetables, and 

travel tariffs. Freud prepared carefully 

for his trips, consulting tourist guides 

and other travel literature concerning 

the places he intended to visit 

attentively, especially those of the 

sites of classical antiquity, and of 

course, the famous Baedeker. The 

56 letters and 189 postcards of his 

travel correspondence with his family 

between 1895 and 1923 reveal his 

enjoyment of these holidays, his 

pleasure in his liberty, in getting a 

bargain, in the blue skies and the 

southern warmth, in the beauty of the 

landscape, in wine and food. From 

this correspondence descriptions of 

the weather have been collected in 

Appendix I, and descriptions of what 

he ate and drank (and the state of 

his digestion) have been collected in 

Appendix II.

The Persons 

Peter Jaeger 

The Persons is a scrapbook of 

found texts which have been 

clipped, archived, sorted for their 

parallel grammatical structure, and 

then rearranged so that no two 

consecutive sentences come from 

the same source. Peter Jaeger’s 

life, here, is thus written through the 

words of others: those protagonists 

who animated his imagination and 

left their traces in the newspapers, 

emails, diaries, books (from 

literature to philosophy), and all 

the countless ephemera with which 

the externalized inner drama of our 

lives plays out. Peter Jaeger is a 

Canadian poet, literary critic and textbased 

artist now living in the UK. His 

published work includes the books 

Eckhart Cars (2004), Prop (2007), 

and Rapid Eye Movement (2009). He 

currently teaches poetry and literary 

theory at Roehampton University in 

London, and lives in rural Somerset 

with his family. ‘The Persons extends 

the necessary criticism of the world 

inside a celebration of life.’ (Allen 

Fisher)

More Than You Wanted to Know 

About John Baldessari is the first 

complete collection of the writings 

of artist John Baldessari. Edited 

and with essays by Meg Cranston 

and Hans Ulrich Obrist, the texts 

in this two-volume set trace the 

development of Baldessari’s 

understanding of art from the early 

1960s through to the present, and 

includes an extended interview 

with the artist on the subject of his 

writing. The collection also includes 

numerous never-before-published 

texts as well as facsimiles of the 

original documents that illustrate 

Baldessari’s composition of words, 

which achieve both literary and 

graphic impact. Baldessari’s 

writing addresses a broad range of 

topics from the problem of colour 

in sculpture, to the problem of art 

students who need ideas, to the 

problem of money in the art world, 

while returning throughout to the very 

focused set of issues that are key 

to his own work. Principle among 

them is Baldessari’s love of words 

and his long-standing investigation 

into the similarity and possible 

interchangeability of word and image.

edited by Cristina Bechtler, David Campany 

PA is an artist’s magazine which 

is published annually. Each 

issue presents an in-depth look 

at the oeuvre of a contemporary 

artist working in the medium of 

photography. The artists are given 

the opportunity to invite a fellow 

artist of their choice to make a 

contribution to the issue and to 

engage in a dialogue about their 

practice. American artist John 

Baldessari and film set designer 

Naomi Shohan created PA #3 

presenting a unique combination: film 

stills from the outsider’s view – the 

artist’s take on Hollywood – and film 

stills from the insider’s view – the 

set designer who has worked on 

many major film productions such 

as American Beauty, Constantine, 

The Replacement Killers, The 

Sorcerer’s Apprentice, as well as 

many others. They engage in a visual 

dialogue and play with juxtapositions, 

correspondences, and contrasts, 

which add new surprising, ironic, 

and witty dimensions and narrations 

to the images. Published with

Yto Barrada 

texts by Jean-François Chevrier, Juan 

Goytisolo, Marie Muracciole, Sina Najafi 

edited by Lionel Bovier, Clément Dirié 

For more than a decade now, 

French-Moroccan artist Yto 

Barrada has offered a reflection 

on postcolonial history and current 

geopolitical changes from a ‘non- 

Western’ art world perspective. 

Trained at the International Center of 

Photography (New York), she gained 

recognition in 2004 with her longlasting 

project entitled A Life Full of 

Hopes – The Strait Project. In this 

photographic series – for which she 

received the Ellen Auerbach Award in 

2006 – she presents an unexpected 

portrait of her hometown Tangier. 

Her works include films, installations, 

sculptures, and publications, 

and propose a combination of 

documentary strategies with a 

meditative approach to images. 

Introduced by Spanish writer Juan 

Goytisolo, this reference monograph 

puts together a retrospective essay 

by the art critic and curator Marie 

Muracciole, a visual essay by the 

art historian and theoretician Jean- 

François Chevrier, and an interview 

with Sina Najafi, the editor-in-chief of 

Cabinet magazine. Together with a 

large selection of works, these texts 

offer an overview of Barrada’s work 

– a practice that deals with history 

and geography, family stories, and 

layered memories.

Landmarks 

texts by Dennis Balk, Jack Bankowsky, 

Rosetta Brooks, Nicholas Frank, 

Ingrid Schaffner, Christina Valentine 

edited by Nicholas Frank 

For the past 25 years Jennifer 

Bolande has engaged in an intuitive 

form of conceptualism, working 

in a variety of media including 

photography, sculpture, photoobjects, 

collage, film, installation, and 

dance. She has built a career out of 

being attentive to visual anomalies, 

making once-ephemeral perceptual 

and cultural slippages concrete. 

Her work questions the distinctions 

between objects and events, and 

between what is real and what is 

imagined. Landmarks is the title of 

the first book dedicated to her work. 

Sequenced and co-designed by 

the artist, it carries the viewer into 

and through the sets of elements, 

themes, and narratives that recur, 

build, and dovetail throughout her 

work. This publication has been 

produced on the occasion of the 

first critical survey exhibition by 

Jennifer Bolande, and spans three 

decades of her work in a wide array 

of media. The exhibition began at the 

Institute for Visual Arts, Milwaukee, 

Wisconsin, and traveled to the ICA, 

Philadelphia in January of 2012.

Das Institut presents a lavishly

which it has been involved over 

the past three years in the style of 

a business report. Das Institut was 

founded in New York in 2007 by 

Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder as 

a notional free space in which they 

both gave themselves the opportunity 

of working independently from the 

concept of their own oeuvres, for 

their promotion and reproduction. 

Each smuggles her works into 

the agency as models for further 

processing by the other. Sources 

of inspiration, costs, sales revenue, 

and exhibition techniques are frankly 

disclosed. What at first looks like a 

strong overstatement that treads a 

fine line between art, knitwear, role 

play, and marketing is at the same 

time a trenchant observation of the 

art scene, and a plea for artistic 

experiment and the potential of 

painting.

Gerard Byrne 

Case Study: Loch Ness (Some 

Possibilities and Problems) 

texts by Brian Dillon, Anthony Spira, 

Andrea Viliani 

edited by Anthony Spira, Andrea Vilani 

In this book, Gerard Byrne brings 

together the culmination of 10 years 

of research into the Loch Ness 

Monster, the myth fuelled in the 

1930s by the popular press in order 

to sell newspapers. Appropriating 

formal conventions from the history 

of Land Art that position landscape 

as the ‘other’, Byrne has compiled 

a series of images that deploy 

Loch Ness as a signifier for the 

enigmatic, the unreadable. Using 

both the populist literature spawned 

by the Loch Ness myth and the 

photographic material his own 

expeditions have yielded as ‘found 

material’, Byrne has developed 

a project both humorous and 

melancholic, that ultimately reflects 

a crisis of belief in the photographic 

image that has surfaced since the 

last heyday of Loch Ness interest 

in the 1970s. Published with Milton 

Keynes Gallery following their 

exhibition, 14 January – 3 April 2011.

Ross Chisholm 

texts by Jonathan Griffin, John Reardon 


This monograph presents a survey 

of British artist Ross Chisholm’s 

work which is characterised by his 

ongoing use of repetition and motif to 

explore the temporality of the painted 

surface. Using painting, drawing, and 

altered found photographs, Chisholm 

takes as his starting point imagery 

mined from centuries of British visual 

culture; his source materials range 

from eighteenth-century society 

portraiture by Allan Ramsay and 

Joshua Reynolds to photographs 

of twentieth-century families on 

vacation, which he collects at flea 

markets. The artist painstakingly 

recreates these original images using 

the rich techniques of Old Master 

painting, and then disrupts our 

historical and narrative associations 

with his subjects through various 

formal means. By conflating 

disparate historical moments and 

modes of portraiture, the artist draws 

attention to the shifting conventions 

of, but sustained urge for, selfrepresentation.

Isabelle Cornaro 

texts by Glenn Adamson, Alice Motard, 

Vivian Sky Rehberg 

edited by Clément Dirié 

Isabelle Cornaro investigates 

the relationship between objects 

– especially decorative objects – 

value, and art, through the issues 

of representation, perceptual 

experience, and reproduction. She is 

also exploring how to translate forms 

and languages, for example an old 

master painting into a 3D installation, 

a film into a graphic score, or the 

vocabulary of Minimalism into a 

more emotional language. She 

mines ambiguity by setting up a 

tension between the analytical, 

symbolic, lyrical, and anecdotal, 

addressing how our way of looking 

constructs the world and its uses. 

She works with various media such 

as installation, painting, sculpture, 

video, and drawing. To accompany 

the first publication on Isabelle 

Cornaro’s works, this book brings 

together a comprehensive essay 

by art historian and critic Vivian Sky 

Rehberg, an interview with Londonbased 

Raven Row deputy director 

Alice Motard, and an examination of 

her relationship with decorative arts

Documenta 4 by Jef Cornelis is 

the first title of the new Archives 

collection, which is dedicated to 

landmark exhibitions and curatorial 

practices, and which provides 

reference material and moving 

images to a growing field of research, 

that of curatorial studies and 

exhibition history. Held in Kassel 

in 1968, Documenta 4 – the last to 

be directed by Documenta founder 

Arnold Bode – was plagued by 

controversy and debate: artistic 

and political and generational 

and aesthetic conflicts, as well as 

tensions between European and 

American art were some of the issues 

that affected this edition, echoing 

the social and political upheavals 

that were taking place elsewhere at 

the same time. The film reflects this 

effervescence, giving voice to the 

artists, curators, and audience, but 

also offers a unique approach to an 

exhibition in progress. We can watch 

Sol LeWitt constructing Three Part 

Variation, Joseph Beuys installing his 

Raumplastik, Martial Raysse talking

Nicole Eisenman 

texts by Nicole Eisenman, Beatrix Ruf, 

Lynne Tillman, Laurie Weeks 

edited by Beatrix Ruf 

Since the 1990s the American 

artist Nicole Eisenman has gained 

attention with her figurative paintings 

that, playfully and with great 

artistic freedom, cross stylistic and 

compositional elements from the 

history of art from Renaissance 

painting to modernism with comics, 

slapstick, TV culture, pornography, 

and subcultural image strategies. 

Central to Eisenman’s oeuvre is a 

complex, excessive, drawing-based 

work that comprises all the classical 

picture genres as well as a wit 

formulated between the outrageous 

and the idiotic. Nicole Eisenman’s 

work is an inspired and gleeful 

deconstruction of conventions in art 

and society and it questions social 

models above all by reversing the 

clichés of female and male roles. It 

is about power and powerlessness, 

about art and commerce, 

consumerism and sex, about the 

possibilities made available by 

professionalism and dilettantism, and 

how artistic success and everyday 

life are constructed. At the same time 

her work deals with the subsequent 

question of how the individual and 

she herself as artist and woman can 

take up a position within these roles.

Everything Is In

Jacques Rancière Between 

Intellectual Emancipation and 

Aesthetic Education 

texts by Arne de Boever, Claire Fontaine, 

Peter Friedl, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Maria 

Muhle, Jacques Rancière, Jason E. Smith, 

Jan Voelker, Annette Weisser, Evan Calder 

Williams 

edited by Jason E. Smith, Annette Weisser 

For Jacques Rancière, politics is not 

primarily the exercise of, or struggle 

for, power, but the institution of a 

certain type of space and time, a 

mode of visibility and intelligibility 

that creates a tear in the consensual 

fabric of a given form of collective 

life. Art institutes just such a space 

and time, in which the fundamental 

polarities of experience – activity 

and passivity, form and matter, 

appearance and reality – are 

suspended and transformed. The 

questions forming the horizon of this 

collection are therefore: What would 

it mean to propose a new aesthetic 

education of humanity today How 

would the resurrection of this concept 

transform the current concepts of art, 

politics, and pedagogy And to what 

extent is it necessary to return to the 

founding moments of aesthetic theory 

to rearticulate the relation between 

art and politics today. Published

Florian Germann 

The Poltergeist Experimental 

Group (PEG) Applied 

Spirituality and Physical Spirit 

Manifestation 

edited by Raphael Gygax, Heike Munder 

In his wide-ranging cycles of works, 

each of which is devoted to a unifying 

thematic narrative, the Swiss artist 

Florian Germann creates complex 

systems of reference, playing with the 

role of the artist-researcher. As points 

of departure for these individual 

experimental arrangements, 

Germann uses characters from 

history such as Napoleon, or motifs 

from myth and fantasy such as 

lycanthropy (from the Greek lukos, 

‘wolf’, and anthropos, ‘man’: the 

werewolf), which he subjects to a 

revisionary rewriting, interweaving 

factual and fictional aspects. This 

first monograph documents the 

cycles of works The Poltergeist 

Experimental Group (PEG), Applied 

Spirituality and Physical Spirit 

(2011), Saint Helena/Riches from 

the Depths of the Mountains (2010), 

and The Werewolf of Vienna (2009).

Luigi Ghirri 

Project Prints 

text by Andrea Bellini, Luigi Ghirri, Paola 

Ghirri, Massimo Minini, Elena Re 

edited by Elena Re 

In the early 1970s Luigi Ghirri delved 

into fundamental ideas about the 

role of photography in contemporary 

art. As he began to structure his first 

series he often created ‘maquettes’ 

in order to visualize his work and 

think about it. In the early 1980s, 

as he probed deeper in his search 

for expression on the subject of 

landscapes, Ghirri started producing 

larger negatives, clearly not for the 

sake of technique itself, but rather 

to ‘get inside’ the subject more 

intensely. Thanks to these master 

copies, Ghirri was able to produce 

excellent contact prints, small 

photographs that he could cut out, 

file, and line up in order to see each 

image, plan his series, organise his 

own view; he could leave the images 

loose and bring them together again 

in endless combinations. These small 

photographs that enabled Ghirri to 

organize his own vision from the 

early 1980s until 1992 were the 

‘project prints’.

Piero Gilardi 

texts by Andrea Bellini, Charles Esche 

edited by Benoit Porcher 

Piero Gilardi is a pioneer of Arte 

Povera and a proud advocate of an 

ecological-concerned undertaking in 

visual arts. He is a peripatetic artist 

who gathered information about 

experimental art and creators in 

the 1960s, promoting the work of 

Richard Long or Jan Dibbets, and 

introducing Bruce Nauman or Eva 

Hesse into Europe. He is also a 

political activist who marched with 

FIAT workers in the 1970s, and who 

founded, in the 2000s the Living Art 

Park, commissioning earthworks 

to contemporary artists such as 

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster or 

Lara Almarcegui. For all this and for 

much more – his design and fashion 

creations, his social endeavors, 

etc. – Piero Gilardi is emblematic 

of the evolutions of art and society 

of the last five decades. He is an 

artist whose works and theoretical 

researches are still relevant to map 

what art could achieve and how art 

could be useful in the ‘real world’.

Richard Hughes 

texts by Martin Clark, Tom O’Sullivan, 

Joanne Tatham 


Drawing inspiration from the 

seemingly banal objects of daily life, 

the sculptural installations of Richard 

Hughes reflect upon instances of the 

everyday with formal clarity and wit. 

Often refashioning his subjects using 

materials such as fiberglass, cast 

resin, silicone, and polyurethane, 

Hughes engages us in a process of 

illusion and artifice, a strategy that 

continually plays upon our sense of 

order, knowledge, and perception. 

This new publication considers the 

artist’s work to date with a text by 

Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan, 

and a conversation between the 

artist and Martin Clark, Artistic 

Director of Tate St Ives. Hughes 

has exhibited at Tate Britain and 

the Institute of Contemporary Arts, 

London; the Carnegie Museum of 

Art, Pittsburgh; the Palazzo Grassi, 

Venice; and the Museum Abteiberg, 

Mönchengladbach. He lives and 

works in London.

Pierre Keller 

texts by John Armleder, Lionel Bovier, Nicolas 

Henchoz, Elisabeth Lebovici, Claude-Alain 

Mayor, Stéphanie Moisdon, François Rappo, 

Tommaso Trini, Eric Troncy 


The journey of Pierre Keller in 

the cultural field is resolutely 

multidimensional. Trained as a 

graphic designer, he first worked in 

Switzerland and Italy (with Eugenio 

Carmi), mixing his interest in optical 

and kinetic art with his knowledge of 

modernist applied arts’ vocabulary. 

Traveling to the USA and the Nova 

Scotia College of Art in the early 

1970s, he discovered Conceptual 

art and realized his ‘Kilo-Art’, a 

new measurement, which he had 

authenticated by the relevant 

Federal Office. In the mid 1970s, 

he started using photography as a 

medium, in particular Polaroids. In 

the vibrant New York scene of the 

1970s – 1980s, he crossed paths 

with people such as Nan Goldin 

and Keith Haring, and started to 

use his art world understanding 

and contacts to teaching, before 

becoming, in the 1990s, the Director 

of the Lausanne art school, ECAL. 

This book, stemming from a statefunded 

research project headed by 

Lionel Bovier, follows this trajectory 

and gathers together for the first time 

exhaustive documentation of Keller’s 

work.

Sensorium Tests 

texts by Melissa Gronlund, Daria Martin 

edited by Anthony Spira 

This monograph revolves around 

Daria Martin’s new film Sensorium 

Tests, 2011, which uses the recently 

recognized neurological condition of 

mirror-touch synaesthesia to explore 

how sensations are transmitted, 

shared, and created in film, raising 

the question: Can a spectator feel 

a bodily reaction to film Exploring 

the spectrum that lies between sight 

and touch, the publication includes 

key texts selected by Martin into 

such pressing issues, which are also 

related to voyeurism and projection, 

artificial intelligence, and magic, 

from a host of leading writers and 

thinkers from Mary Shelley to Wayne 

Koestenbaum, via Maurice Merleau- 

Ponty, Rainer-Werner Fassbinder, 

and Laura Mulvey. Martin’s 

introduction to this section addresses 

subjects such as mirroring, paralysis, 

and animism, asking such farreaching 

questions as how empathy 

and desire, identification and lust 

are related. Daria Martin was born in 

San Francisco in 1973 and currently 

lives in London. Her films have been 

screened in many international 

venues, including Tate Modern, Tate 

Britain, the Royal College of Art, the 

Vienna Secession, and Arnolfini,

Hans Ulrich Obrist 

A Brief History of New Music 


Following the success of A Brief 

History of Curating (now available 

in five different languages, in its 

fourth reprint, and soon as an 

e-book), this publication gathers 

together interviews with pioneering 

musicians of the 1950s to the 1980s. 

The book thus brings together 

avant-garde composers such as 

Elliot Carter, Pierre Boulez, and 

Karlheinz Stockhausen; originators 

of electro-acoustic music such as 

François Bayle, Pauline Oliveros, 

Iannis Xenakis, and Peter Zinovieff; 

Minimalist and Fluxus-inspired artists 

such as Tony Conrad, Henry Flynt, 

Phil Niblock, Yoko Ono, Steve Reich, 

and Terry Riley; as well figures 

such as Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Arto 

Lindsay, and Gaetano Veloso. Their 

contributions map the evolution of the 

musical field, from early experiments 

in concrete and abstract music, to 

the electronic development and 

the hybridisation between Pop and 

avant-garde culture. The book is 

part of the Documents series, 

co-published with Les presses du 

réel and dedicated to critical writings.

Carlo Scarpa 

L’art d’exposer 

texts by Philippe Duboy, Carlo Scarpa 

edited by Philippe Duboy 

The Italian architect Carlo Scarpa 

(1908 – 1978) is today recognized 

as one of the most inspiring and 

innovative museum and exhibition 

architects of the twentieth century. 

During his prolific career he worked 

for numerous galleries, museums, 

and exhibitions and for many years 

he was one of the official architects 

of the Venice Biennial. Based on 

scenographic devices such as the 

use of curtains, coloured walls, and 

perspectives, and the mise-en-scene 

of the artwork, his thoughts about 

exhibition display and museum 

rehabilitation fundamentally renewed 

exhibition making. This neverbefore-published 

selection of Carlo 

Scarpa’s writings and illustrations 

(photographs, architectural plans, 

sketches, etc.) is an invaluable tool to 

understanding exhibition history and 

the importance of the architectural 

conception of exhibitions. This 

publication is edited and introduced 

by Philippe Duboy, professor of 

architectural history. Duboy is a 

specialist on Carlo Scarpa, with 

whom he worked on the occasion 

of the international architectural 

competition for the Picasso Museum 

(Paris, 1976). Published with

Beat Streuli 

Public Works 1996 – 2011 

texts by Raymond Bellour, Roberta Valtorta, 

Jonathan Watkins 

Swiss artist Beat Streuli takes the 

urban environment and its inhabitants 

as the central motif of his work. His 

photographs are neither documentary 

nor conceptual: rather they lead 

us to a form of aesthetics that one 

could describe as the ‘glamour of the 

usual.’ This monograph is a survey of 

his oeuvre of the last 15 years, which 

includes billboards and large-scale 

window installations on the facades 

of public buildings, and a selection 

of his installations of slide and video 

projections. Streuli by Streuli: an 

extensive image sequence mostly 

taken by the artist himself documents 

Streuli’s rejection of the classic 

museum exhibition context. Instead 

he takes the photographs back to 

their place of origin – public space. 

With newly commissioned texts by 

Raymond Bellour, Roberta Valtorta, 

and Jonathan Watkins. Published

Paul Thek in Process 

text and edited by Susanne Neubauer 

Paul Thek in Process evolved from 

the discovery of an unrealised 

publication project by the American 

artist Paul Thek (1933 – 1988), 

which had been discussed while he 

was installing his first space-filling 

environment, Pyramid/A Work in 

Progress in 1971, and which was to 

have been released for documenta 5. 

For this project, around 800 images 

were taken capturing the progress of 

the installation, as well as the final 

form of this pivotal work of 1970s 

installation art. The book contains not 

only a large number of unpublished 

images, but also evaluates the 

complex organisational task of the 

installation’s conception and eventual 

realisation. It offers an exhibition 

history seen through the backdoor, 

with particular attention paid to the 

status of the ephemeral objects that 

remain as contingent representatives 

of the lost work. The selected and 

reproduced source material is 

understood as curated in terms of its 

re-incorporation of what has been left 

out of art and exhibition history.

Color in Flux examines how artists 

have dealt with free-flowing colour 

since the time of Jackson Pollock. 

A common thread in this exhibition 

is an unorthodox history of art 

that deals with colour, and critical 

and political aspects of colour 

that is actually in flux. The works 

of leading proponents of Abstract 

Expressionism and colour-field 

painting are combined with more 

contemporary works. On the one 

hand, colour is seen as a means of 

expression as understood in terms 

of Modernism; on the other, a more 

conceptual, sometimes antipainterly, 

approach to colour applies. All 

works are accompanied by detailed 

analyses. Published on the occasion

Strategies against 

architectures 

text by Belinda Grace Gardner 

edited by Thomas Levy 

Sven Drühl breaks down visual 

forms and types conceptually from 

the Romantic period to the present 

day. He recombines the constituent 

parts using his own motifs in a remix 

process. Drühl responds to the 

crisis of expression in post-modern 

painting with this transformative 

citation but does not quite give up 

on painting himself. His involvement 

with art history and his continuing 

investigation of painting as a medium 

is too important to him. His series of 

paintings are therefore fascinating 

copies that motivate the viewer to 

question perception and at the same 

time ultra-sensual, impressive new 

creations. Published to accompany

The menacing-sounding title, Kill 

Your Darlings, provides an insight 

into the modus operandi of the 

eponymous group of photographers: 

if the group’s selection criteria are 

not satisfied, even a photo that is a 

personal favourite, a Darling, must 

be discarded. The photographers’ 

relationship with photography, 

culture, society and aesthetics is 

quite clearly hotly debated here 

and leads to many new favourite 

photos, which find their place in this 

exciting volume of work. All members 

of the group studied with Peter 

Bialobrzeski at the University of the 

Arts Bremen and their work reflects 

the self-confidence and Zeitgeist of a 

young generation of photographers.

The Little Global Cities series 

is dedicated to 12 cities in 

Eastern Europe. Multilingual and 

multinational, close to new borders 

and in constant flux; they are places 

of art and culture, full of unexpected 

encounters and stories. With these 

books, readers can find fascinating 

and undiscovered places as well as 

old and new city quarters, and meet 

locals and visitors who recount their 

own stories of the city. In addition, 

writers, photographers, filmmakers 

and artists invite readers to fall under 

the spell of their city and experience 

what makes it so special as they 

take a relaxed ramble. The first four 

volumes to be published are Novi 

Sad (Serbia), Szeged (Hungary), 

Osijek (Croatia) and Timsoara 

(Romania). Texts are in English, 

German and the corresponding local 

language.

Ménage à trois 

Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel 

Basquiat, Francesco Clemente 

texts by Dieter Buchhart, Vincent Fremont, 

Jordana Moore Saggese, Keith Haring 

preface by Robert Fleck 

The New York art scene of the 

1980s is legendary – vital, creative 

and multimedia-based. It provided 

young talent with a playground full 

of opportunities. Andy Warhol, 

Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco 

Clemente are three of the main 

protagonists of this era. Between 

1983 and 1985, they produced 

a number of collaborative works, 

whose appeal was based on their 

contrary painterly gestures. The 

works reflect the era, the (pop) 

star role and the new way in which 

the artists saw themselves, their 

mutual fascination but also the 

dark side of fame. This catalogue 

provides a comprehensive look at 

the collaboration between the three 

artists in the context of their own work 

and shows the captivating references 

and differences, the multifaceted 

nature of the collaboration and its 

art-historical importance. Included 

is a preface by Robert Fleck and 

interviews by Dieter Buchhart with 

Bruno Bishofberger, Tony Shafrazi 

and Francesco Clemente. Published

Michael Najjar 

high altitude 

texts by Michael Najjar, Kevin Slavin, Paul 

Wombell 

edited by Michael Najjar 

In 2009, together with a six-person 

expedition group, the photographer 

and artist Michael Najjar climbed to 

the summit of Mount Aconcagua. 

At 6,962 metres, it is the highest 

mountain in the world outside the 

Himalayas. Najjars’s photographic 

material from the three-week 

expedition forms the basis for 

the visual worlds depicted in 

the high altitude cycle of works, 

which portrays the stock market 

performance of the world’s most 

important key indices over the last 

20 to 30 years. The virtual number 

mountains on the stock market 

charts resublimate themselves in 

the materiality and solidity of the 

Argentinian mountain ranges – they 

symbolise the thin line between 

reality and simulation.

Ilya Kabakov 

A Return to Painting 

texts by Karin Hellandsjø, Ilya Kabakov, 

Ulrich Krempel 

edited by Ulrich Krempel 

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. 

From around 2000 – when, to a large 

extent, he turned away from the 

artistic installation – Kabakov has 

been promoting a very personal style 

of painting, which he uses to revise 

experiences and achievements, 

images of the past and the visual 

worlds of Soviet socialism. In his 

painting, he addresses personal 

experiences from the recent past 

but also his long-lost childhood in 

Stalin’s Soviet Union. The catalogue, 

which includes an essay by the 

artist himself, presents 60 paintings 

and three models for unfinished 

installations/monuments. Published 

to accompany the exhibition at

TRANSIENT CONFESSIONS 

text by Virgina Dellenbaugh 

edited by Corinne L. Rusch 

The photographer Corinne L. Rusch 

guides us through the fascinating 

and surreal world of the major grand 

hotels in Switzerland and South 

Tyrol (Alto Adige). These locations 

are renowned in a very special 

way for their stunning beauty and 

diverse history. The rich and beautiful 

met here from the middle of the 

nineteenth century, partied, stayed 

for weeks and months, lazed around, 

played sport, started new love 

affairs and intrigues. Rusch stages 

her photos with great sensitivity 

and precision in these fin-de-siècle 

settings, in doing so showing current 

aspects of society in a new light.

Drawing Spaces 

texts by Fred Jahn, Kerstin Skrobanek 

edited by Kerstin Skrobanek, Reinhard Spieler 

The American artist Fred Sandback 

became famous in the 1970s for 

his sculptures made of coloured 

acrylic yarn, which he used to rewrite 

geometric bodies or to impact upon 

spatial situations. This catalogue 

presents for the first time a broad 

selection of Sandback’s works on 

paper, drawings and prints. This 

provides impressive evidence of 

how Sandback has seamlessly 

transferred the classic techniques of 

lithography, etching and woodcuts 

into the aesthetics of his time and 

retraced the development process of 

his sculptures in his prints. Published

Alina Szapocznikow 

texts by Anda Rottenberg, Philip Topolovac 

preface by Harald Spengler 

Alina Szapocznikow has left a 

unique legacy of sculptures and 

drawings, which she created in both 

the Communist East and in the 

West. At the heart of her oeuvre is 

the human body, which according 

to the artist, a Holocaust survivor, is 

probably the most sensitive among 

all the manifestations of volatility as 

a source of joy, sorrow and truth. 

Szapocznikow’s works have really 

only been visible in their totality in 

the last 10 years and this is the first 

comprehensive publication to provide 

an overview of her life and work.

texts by Jonathan Dronsfield, Marc Glöde, 

Veith Loeers, Julie Sylvester 

edited by Kerber Verlag, Andrea Stappert 

Andrea Stappert’s photographs 

make up a sizeable visual archive 

of the international art scene, which 

she has been observing with her 

uncompromising eye since the 

1980s. After studying painting, 

she received her first photography 

commissions through her association 

with Martin Kippenberger and 

has kept returning to the arena of 

photography ever since. As an artist 

and not a trained photographer, 

Stappert uses innovative, very 

personal means of expression, far 

removed from the usual set pieces 

of portrait photography. UNDER 

THE RADAR brings together many 

previously unpublished images, 

and provides a detailed view of her 

comprehensive photographic work.

photographers from a wide variety 

of backgrounds. This catalogue 

reveals the views of international 

photographers and authors who feel 

like New Yorkers. Some of them live 

or have lived there, many however 

are just passers-by, who have 

cultivated a secret pact with this city 

as they return over and over again. 

Featuring selected works from the 

years 1954 – 2010, including some 

previously unpublished works by 

renowned photographers, VIEW

Tomma Abts 

edited by Gregor Jansen, Magdalena Holzhey 

Tomma Abts is one of the most 

outstanding painters of her 

generation. Her paintings are created 

in a slow and strict process in which 

she applies purely geometric forms, 

layer upon layer, with oil and acrylic 

paints, always using the same 

portrait format of 48 x 38 cm. Isolated 

recognisable edges and translucent 

layers make Abts’ works a reflection 

on the painting process itself. This 

catalogue brings together her older 

as well as her most recent works, 

and includes for the first time her 

drawings that have been created 

in parallel with her canvases. This 

publication is a visual continuation 

of her work, designed by the artist 

herself, and contains installation 

views as well as numerous 

large-format illustrations.

Ai Weiwei 

Art / Architecture 

texts by Andres Lepik, Reto Geiser, 

Yilmaz Dziewior 

edited by Yilmaz Dziewior 

Since constructing his own studio in 

1999, the dissident Chinese artist 

Ai Weiwei has designed or realised 

together with other architects a 

wide range of architectural projects. 

Architecture has become a discipline 

within the artist’s creative work by 

means of which, over and above the 

visual arts, he is able to develop a 

physical and lasting effect on society. 

This exhibition catalogue explores 

this aspect of Ai Weiwei’s work. It 

elucidates the architectural projects 

and examines the role of architecture 

in relation to Ai Weiwei’s political 

activities. Featuring some new 

works and many of the artist’s most 

important urban projects, including 

the famous ‘Bird’s Nest’ Olympic 

stadium in Beijing which he cocreated 

with architects Herzog & de 

Meuron. Published on the occasion 

of the exhibition Ai Weiwei: Art / 

Architecture at Kunsthaus Bregenz,

Modernity through the

texts by Sabine Folie, Anselm Franke,

Elisabeth von Samsonow, Isabelle Stengers 

edited by Anselm Franke, Sabine Folie 

At the height of European 

colonialism, animism becomes 

the quintessence of civilization’s 

opposite, the exemplary expression 

of a primitive ‘state of nature’ in 

which psyche and nature appear 

as inextricably fused. In the context 

of colonial modernity this image of 

animism operated as a mirror, in 

which modernity affirms itself by 

showing what it is not. To be modern 

meant to leave animism behind and 

to separate the world in accordance 

with the dualist divides that have 

been in effect since Descartes: soul 

and body, mind and matter. This 

catalogue brings together artworks, 

documents, and artifacts to create 

an essayistic visual space that points 

to the need for a decolonialisation 

and revision of this traditional 

understanding of animism. The show 

juxtaposes historical materials with 

contemporary works addressing the 

line between life and non-life.

edited by Kasper König 

Before the Law features artistic 

positions that engage and attempt 

to identify people and position them 

as political beings at different times 

and in diverse ways. The works do 

not refer to specific conflicts, but 

instead tackle themes that relate to 

personhood per se. Artistic action 

is approached from an existentialist 

perspective and postwar sculpture 

by various artists. In their own 

subtle ways, they all grapple with 

the vulnerability of humanity in a 

world where the concept of human 

dignity is perpetually threatened.

Bennett, Randi Malkin Steinberger 

More than 15 years after Italian artist 

Alighiero Boetti’s death, 2011 marks 

the opening of a major international 

retrospective of the work of the 

Arte Povera master, sponsored 

by MoMA NY, Tate Modern and 

Madrid’s Reina Sofia. Adding to the 

new appreciation of Boetti’s joyous 

work is this dazzling, multi-layered 

photo essay on the unseen story 

behind the making of his seminal 

arazzi (embroidered works). For 

the first time, the international web 

of artisans who made the arazzi 

comes into focus, through the work of 

American photographer Randi Malkin 

Steinberger. In 1990, Steinberger 

traveled to Peshawar, Pakistan, with 

Boetti’s blessing, to document how 

the Afghan refugee women realised 

the embroideries which Boetti had 

outlined. Steinberger, traveling with a 

Boetti assistant, followed the journey 

of the cloths into the craftswomen’s 

workrooms as they brought colour to 

these spectacular works.

This retrospective monograph 

is the first to be dedicated to the 

radical sculptural œuvre by the 

almost forgotten American artist 

Bill Bollinger. In the late 1960s, Bill 

Bollinger ranked among the most 

important sculptors of his day, on 

a par with Bruce Nauman, Robert 

Smithson, Eva Hesse, and Richard 

Serra. After graduating from Rhode 

Island’s renowned Brown University 

with a degree in aeronautics, 

Bollinger moved to New York in 1961 

to study painting. He participated in 

legendary exhibitions and produced a 

compact, wide-ranging body of work 

that is purist, ephemeral, and full of 

energy; these works still deliver an 

astonishing impact. In the mid-1970s, 

he disappeared from the radar 

screen of the art world. Published

Marius Born 

Collective Order 

Collective order is the term Swiss 

photographer Marius Born uses to 

describe urban life in Tokyo, which 

forms the subject of this volume. 

Born’s images depict a system of 

social order which appears alien to 

him. The individual is always seen 

as part of the collective and thus 

demands only the minimum possible 

amount of space for himself. The 

dominance of order is so extreme 

that even the homeless neatly lay 

out their sleeping mats in a park and 

children in an amusement park are 

identified by the numbers that they 

wear. Born succeeds in capturing 

this order in his images, revealing the 

empty spaces even in crowded public 

spaces. Thus the path to the subway, 

along which the masses stream 

during the day, becomes the site of a 

solitary stroll. Similarly a bicycle ride 

to the grounds of the Imperial Palace 

turns into a leisurely outing.

Der wahrscheinlich beste

texts by André Butzer, Steffen Krüger,

edited by Kristin Schrader 

André Butzer became well known 

in the art world with paintings he 

himself described as ‘Science Fiction 

Expressionism.’ Inspired by the world 

of Walt Disney, which fascinated 

him as a child, he created comic-like 

figures from an early stage. With 

his new, abstract paintings, most of 

which are published for the first time 

in this book, he positions himself 

within the tradition of painting since 

1800 as ‘probably the best abstract 

painter in the world.’ This publication, 

which Butzer designed himself, is 

an ironic commentary on his art 

and twenty-first century painting 

in general and as such is also a 

monograph and artist’s book, which 

carries on and reinterprets the genre 

of the classic exhibition catalogue.

This catalogue shows objects and 

spatial installations by the conceptual 

and performance artist James Lee 

Byars. The photographer Claudio 

Abate, as a congenial observer, 

astutely identifies the artist’s ideas 

and follows the lines of the perfect 

axis, making the dialogue between 

the architecture of the exhibition 

space and the works of art visible. 

The canon of Byars’ sculptural 

forms includes cubes, spheres, 

cylinders, pyramids and stars, all 

with emblematic values. Materials 

and colours, particularly white 

marble, velvet, black and red, are 

used to stress the semantic aspect 

of the work. With the ‘gold ground’ 

Byars unites the untouchable, the 

absolute or the spiritual, which the 

perfect form, the sphere, visually 

exaggerates. In playful exchange 

between interior and exterior 

architecture, which is the result of 

a strict choreography of reflections 

and the axes of vision and motion, 

the sculptures of James Lee Byars 

emphasise ‘the perfect axis’ of 

Benrath Palace and Park’s artistic 

composition.

The sculptures of Tony Cragg 

were exhibited throughout the 

summer of 2011 in Lucca, Italy, at 

the church of San Cristofero (both 

inside and out), and in the town’s 

Piazza Anfiteatro. The exhibition It 

is, it isn’t concentrated on Cragg’s 

fascination for accumulation and 

stratification through a rigorous 

selection of important sculptures, 

including some from the Early Forms 

and Rational Beings series. In a 

show that took place both indoors 

and out in Lucca, these sculptures 

had the opportunity to shine and 

show their magic in an ancient city 

that is itself a stratification of history, 

cultural life and material significance. 

This catalogue features the poetry 

of Conrad Aiken, W.H. Auden and 

Walt Whitman among others, which 

complement Cragg’s work. Published

Formed in London in 1942, the 

Design Research Unit was the 

first consultancy in Britain to bring 

together expertise in architecture, 

graphics and industrial design. 

They pioneered a model for 

multidisciplinary practice with an 

approach that was shaped by 

inter-war developments in artistic 

discourse and post-war trends in 

industry and communication. This 

book accompanies an exhibition 

spanning more than three decades 

of their work, from the group’s early 

origins and founder members to their 

pioneering role in developing some 

of the most comprehensive corporate 

design schemes commissioned 

for British industry. The exhibition 

features some of DRU’s most

The sound art works of the Dutch 

artist William Engelen are difficult to 

categorise within one single art form. 

In fact they oscillate between visual 

art, architecture and music, exhibition 

and performance, installation, 

sculpture and composition. The 

visual and the acoustic are variably 

connected with the surrounding 

space. For this the artist seeks out 

public locations such as parks, urban 

plazas, silos and galleries, but also 

museums. Temporary hybrid musical 

forms are created, which are, through 

their special ties to location, barely 

reproducible and mostly transient. 

A unification of the incompatible, 

of stasis and dynamism, being and 

passing, space and time, takes place 

right in front of the audience’s eyes.

Lucy Lippard’s Numbers

Vienna, Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven 

Four exhibitions of contemporary 

art curated by Lucy Lippard have 

become renowned as her ‘numbers 

shows’. Each took the population 

of the city in which it was shown as 

its title: 557,087 in Seattle, 955,000 

in Vancouver, 2,972,453 in Buenos 

Aires and c.7,500 opening in 

Valencia, California, before touring 

the US and to London. This book 

follows Lippard’s curatorial trajectory, 

analysing her transition from a writer 

about art to a maker of exhibitions, 

and tracing her growing political 

engagement and involvement with 

feminism. Extensive photographic 

material is complemented by a major 

new essay by Cornelia Butler, texts 

by Peter Plagens, Griselda Pollock, 

Pip Day, and interviews with Seth 

Siegelaub and artists Agnes Denes, 

Alice Aycock, Eleanor Antin and 

Mierle Laderman Ukeles. This is the 

third publication in the Exhibitions 

Histories series, co-published with

Julian Göthe 

You are living in a world 

of magic 

texts by Martin Germann, Veit Görner, Tom 

Holert, Bernhart Schwenk 

edited by Martin Germann 

Influenced by the decorative arts and 

furniture design, Göthe’s work moves 

ambivalently between elegance 

and danger in the assumption that 

every object has a soul. The objects, 

drawings and collages of Julian 

Göthe combine minimalist strictness 

with drama and glamour. His works 

reveal an intense involvement with 

both epochal and marginal phases 

of art and cultural history, with high 

and popular culture, primarily from 

the first half of the twentieth century: 

design ideas from the art déco of the 

1920s and 1930s meet the aesthetics 

of early Hollywood film sets. 

References to the corporeal Stilnovo 

furniture design from 1950s Italy, 

which was influenced by surrealism, 

are interwoven with allusions to the 

impersonal, industrial, schematic 

minimal art of the 1960s. An interest 

in the applied neoclassical and 

modernist forms often stigmatized as 

vulgar or pretentious is a leitmotif of 

Göthe’s work.

Katharina Grosse 

Transparent Eyeballs 

texts by Annika Reich, Gregor Jansen, 

Uwe Vetter 

For the first time, Katharina Grosse 

presents one of her elliptical image 

systems outside. The 6 by 8 metre 

painted object is attached, at a height 

of over five metres, onto the façade 

of the Johanneskirche in Düsseldorf 

in such a way that it reaches out into 

the space around the church. The 

sprayed painting refers to something 

beyond with edges of the curved 

surface itself and seems like only a 

small visible part of a larger picture, 

sliding its way into the pictorial space 

of the church.

F.C. Gundlach 

Berliner Durchreise 2011 

This exhibition catalogue presents 

the elegant fashion and life in Berlin 

in the 1950s and 1960s. Whilst 

F.C. Gundlach has photographed 

the designs of the couture houses 

in Berlin for the magazine Film 

und Frau he made fascinating 

fashion photographs of the Berlin 

chic, in which he used the city 

and its architecture as the stage 

for his settings. The photographs 

created an almost fictional post-war 

Berlin, without ruins and traces of 

destruction, and show not so much 

the reality, as the wishes and dreams 

of a generation – of a city in ruins 

until the building of the Berlin Wall. 

Included is an interview with F.C. 

Gundlach by Margit J. Mayer.

Thomas Hirschhorn 

Kurt Schwitters-Plattform 

Untere Kontrolle 

texts by Carina Plath, Thomas Hirschhorn, 

Michael Diers 

edited by Carina Plath, Annerose Rist 

Hirschhorn’s work is distinguished 

by a synthesis of sculptural concern, 

political commitment and critical 

thought. Most of the Swiss artist’s 

works have been temporary 

and carried out in public. These 

include, among others, the Bataille 

Monument, which he created in 2002 

during the documenta 11 exhibition 

in Kassel; as well as the street altars 

he constructed in various cities and 

dedicated to artists such as Piet 

Mondrian and Ingeborg Bachmann. 

Hirschhorn represented Switzerland 

at the Venice Biennale in 2011. ‘I do 

not want to invite or oblige viewers 

to become interactive with what I do; 

I do not want to activate the public. 

I want to give of myself to such a 

degree that viewers confronted with 

the work can take part and become 

involved, but not as actors.’

Mustafa Hulusi 

The Joyous, Shining And 

Wonderful Age 

texts by Norman Rosenthal, Sotiris Kyriacou, 

Sacha Craddock 

This book is a succinct summary of 

the artist’s work over the last five 

years. Although he describes himself 

as primarily a conceptual artist, the 

book merges Hulusi’s work in various 

media – photography, filmmaking, 

painting – into a cohesive, easily 

understandable whole. Hulusi’s 

messianic artistic vision is poetic 

yet critically observant as it lays out 

a new way of understanding the 

philosophical implications of our 

post-political age. This book includes 

a DVD containing his new film work 

entitled The EMPTY Near East, a 

meditative five minute loop narrative 

of a post-apocalyptic landscape.

Intellectual Birdhouse 

Artistic Practice as Research 

edited by Florian Dombois, Ute Meta Bauer, 

Michael Schwab, Claudia Mareis 

Artistic practices are manifold and 

highly diverse. In recent years, a 

claim towards research has become 

meaningful to many practitioners 

of art. Intellectual Birdhouse gives 

room to a number of artists to unfold 

their attitudes towards this claim. 

In this book, ‘artistic research’ is 

assumed as being independent of 

‘discipline’, with the potential to occur 

in all contexts once epistemological 

expectations have shifted. This 

approach foregrounds questions 

concerning the type of models, 

terms and concepts that elucidate 

the processes and outcomes of 

epistemic-artistic practices while 

recalling theoretical debates steeped 

in tradition.

edited by Catriona Duffy, Lucy McEachan 

At the intersection between art, 

design and social history, The 

Inventors of Tradition is a subjective 

study of the history of the Scottish 

textiles industry since the 1930s. It 

brings together samples of worldclass 

design, the archive material 

of individuals and companies, and 

documentation in the form of film 

and interviews. In response to this 

material the artist Lucy McKenzie 

and designer Beca Lipscombe, 

from Atelier, have produced a 

series of new works including 

clothing, furniture and accessories 

in collaborative partnership with 

Caerlee Mills, Begg Scotland, 

Hawick Cashmere, Laura Lees, 

Jannette Murray, Mackintosh,

Allan Kaprow 

A Bibliography 

edited by Giorgio Maffei 

This publication catalogues and 

illustrates, with a wide selection 

of images, Allan Kaprow’s entire 

body of published work: from his 

first artist book in 1962, to his last 

anthological projects in the ‘90s. 

This lesser-known side of his œuvre 

unfolds through 35 books, published 

over a 40-year span. Kaprow’s work 

moved along two parallel tracks: 

happenings – a field in which he was 

an unchallenged pioneer, starting 

in the ‘50s – and activity booklets, a 

tool meant to help people understand 

and experience these performances. 

But the graphic layout of his books, 

the originality of their structure, the 

literary stature of their texts, and their 

aesthetic quality as objects shifted 

his exploration of print into a higher 

realm, where the book became a 

fully-fledged work of art. ‘Booklets 

are somewhat like music scores: 

they aren’t the actual event but as 

notations which one or more persons 

can carry out. So they shouldn’t 

be considered documents of what 

actually happened.’ (Allan Kaprow)

Kienholz 

The Signs of the Times 

texts by Dietmar Dath, Martina Weinhart, 

Cécile Whiting 

edited by Martina Weinhart, Max Hollein 

Rebellious, provocative, and ever 

polarizing, Kienholz’s œuvre has 

always caused a stir from the mid- 

1950s with his first works and, later 

from 1972, with the collaborative 

projects with his wife, Nancy 

Reddin Kienholz. This is scarcely 

astonishing, since religion, war, 

death, and the more inscrutable sides 

of society and its social conflicts have 

always been at the centre of their 

works. With an angry realism situated 

between figuration and the surreal, 

the large environments as well as 

smaller assemblages are especially 

impressive. Addressing subjects such 

as the sexual exploitation of women 

in prostitution, the role of the media, 

and ethnic conflicts, they point to 

fractures in Western societies that 

have yet to heal even today and 

thereby create an œuvre of all but 

uninterrupted topicality. Published 

in conjunction with the exhibition 

at Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, 21 

October 2011 – 29 January 2012 

and Museum Tinguely, Basel, 22 

February – 13 May 2012.

Secret Universe 2 

texts by Claudia Dichter, Raphael Rubinstein 

edited by Claudia Dichter, Udo Kittelmann 

Since the mid-1960s, Paul Laffoley 

has grappled with complex theories 

on philosophy, anthroposophy 

and natural science themes in his 

paintings and works on paper. He 

distils the wisdom from such varied 

thinkers as Richard Buckminster 

Fuller, Johann Wolfgang von 

Goethe, William Blake and C.G. 

Jung, developing visionary theories 

about time travel, black holes and 

mathematical questions on the 

fourth and fifth dimensions. He uses 

‘thoughtforms’ to record his ideas 

about and intellectual influences on 

his works. Published to accompany 

the exhibition secret universe: Paul

Sarah Lucas / 

Hieronymus Bosch / 

Gelatin 

texts by Brigitte Borchhardt-Birbaumer, Hans- 

Peter Wipplinger, Werner Hofmann 

edited by Hans-Peter Wipplinger 

The 500-year gap between the artists 

Hieronymus Bosch, Sarah Lucas and 

the artist group Gelatin is suspended 

in this special project. New 

experiences of insight, far removed 

from museal ordering, are made 

possible through the juxtaposition of 

their work. The artists are connected 

by aspects of divergence, alienation 

and opposition in their work. 

The open experimental ordering 

is intended to stimulate a fruitful 

dialogue through new connections 

between the positions as well as to 

test the fundamental constellations 

of various epochs. Most important 

is the fact that the structures of 

meaning formed by the juxtaposition 

of the works of art can be 

comprehended both as founding as 

well as denying meaning. One thing 

is clear: fantasy is one of the major 

driving forces of art!

Chris Martin 

Staring into the Sun 

texts by Gregor Jansen, Lars Bang Larsen, 

Alexander Koch, Bob Nickas 

conversation with the artist by Elodie Evers 

Chris Martin often dedicates 

his large-format compositions 

to esteemed and admired artist 

colleagues from the worlds of 

painting and music. Their names 

are written coarsely on the surface 

of the image right next to stuck-on 

coins, vinyl records, banana skins 

and newspaper articles. Despite 

the rough, utterly profane image 

surfaces, Martin’s work picks up 

on various traditions of spiritual 

abstraction, for which New York, 

where Martin has lived since 1975, 

is a melting pot. This is the first 

comprehensive publication on his 

work, which breaks from all the laws 

of purity of Colour Field painting 

and monochrome painting and 

makes reference to Native American 

folklore, religious mysticism and 

anthroposophical symbols, as it 

does to the ‘Spiritual Landscapes’ 

of North American romanticism that 

are little known in Europe. Published

Jonathan Meese 

Totalste Graphik + Catalogue 

raisonné 2003 – 2011 

texts by Björn Egging, Friederike Fast 

edited by Björn Egging 

Due to his radicality, Jonathan 

Meese is considered one of the 

most enigmatic of contemporary 

German artists. Over the course of 

the last 15 years he has created 

around 100 printed works, which 

are presented here on a large scale 

for the first time. The large-format 

lithographs, etchings and woodcuts 

generally depict effigies, which, in 

their stringency, become metaphors 

of cultural history and the alter ego 

of the artist. More so than in other 

works, the eruptive creation of 

image and the rapid, almost ecstatic 

working method of the artist is 

particularly visible in Meese’s prints. 

This catalogue includes an academic 

catalogue raisonné of his print 

production up until 2011, and also 

features an interview with the artist 

by Björn Eggin.

Dawn Mellor 

Michael Jackson and 

Other Men 

texts by Joe Scotland, Dawn Mellor 

edited by Joe Scotland 

This publication presents a series of 

British artist Dawn Mellor’s teenage 

drawings and paintings of Michael 

Jackson alongside a number of other 

figures, made during the 1980s. 

However commonplace these kinds 

of adolescent drawings might be, 

they are a precursor to Mellor’s 

concern with celebrity and fan 

culture; while also functioning 

as subjective social documents. 

The Jackson drawings are a 

reminder of a tragic cultural icon 

and the indication of the burgeoning 

sexuality and artistic ambition of the 

young artist. Next to Jackson are 

images of the athlete Carl Lewis and 

comedians Richard Pryor and Bill 

Cosby as well as depictions of social 

unrest and injustice.

Floating Flood 

texts by Bernd M. Scherer, Ulrike Ottinger 

The project Floating Food by Ulrike 

Ottinger revolves around the themes 

of food, water, religion and ritual. 

In a scenic spatial installation, 

the photographer and filmmaker 

addresses eating as a cultural 

and religious event on the one 

hand, and on the other, water as 

the origin and engine of transport, 

trade and discovery. In addition to 

film montages, photographs and 

ethnological objects, set designer 

Ottinger also integrates mythical 

creatures and figures from her film 

worlds in the spatial installation: a 

floating Shaman outfit and a Samurai 

robe made of dollar bills, with sword 

and helmet, are positioned opposite 

a large sacrificial altar. While she 

herself stays in the background as a 

distanced observer, Ulrike Ottinger 

allows the reader a very sensual 

experience of foreign (culinary) 

cultures.

Gerhard Richter 

EIS 

The reader can really feel the cold 

when looking at the photos Gerhard 

Richter brought back with him from a 

trip to Greenland in 1972: stretches 

of ice and snow, screes and rugged 

cliffs, icebergs and floes, reflected 

in grey-blue water. Many of these 

motifs can be found in his paintings. 

The book is made up of three 

compositional elements of equal size 

– photo, text, empty space – each 

8.5 x 13 cm. Richter has organised 

these elements such that the book 

works from both ends: the reader 

decides where the text begins. Its 

orientation is simple, but the effect 

of the double pages, sometimes with 

upside-down photos, is full of optical 

surprises. EIS is another in the series 

of autonomous artist’s books, to 

which Richter has dedicated much 

time and great artistic attention over 

the past few years.

Anri Sala 

texts by Michael Fried, Joshua Simon 

interview with the artist by Julia Peyton-Jones 

and Hans Ulrich Obrist 

Anri Sala’s early videos and films 

mined his personal experience to 

reflect on the social and political 

change taking place in his native 

Albania. The Serpentine Gallery 

exhibition focuses on recent 

developments in Sala’s work, 

particularly the artist’s growing 

interest in music and sound. Linked 

to this development is his longstanding 

interest in performance, 

and particularly musical performance. 

A central premise of the exhibition 

is that most of the works presented 

at the Serpentine either use a live 

performance as their starting point 

or could lead to a performance in 

the future. Featuring new essays 

by art historian Michael Fried, and 

writer and curator Joshua Simon, 

a selection of Sala’s transcripts 

and scores from his films and 

performances, this is the definitive 

publication on the artist’s recent 

work. Published on the occasion of

presenting relations between avantgarde 

practice and Strunz’s work; 

and Jarosław Lubiak’s text Time and

Keiichi Tanaami 

Drawings and Collages 

1967 – 1975 

text by Stefano Stoll 

The artist Keiichi Tanaami is the 

father of Japanese Pop Art. This 

book is the first dedicated to 

Tanaami’s drawings and collages 

from the 60s and 70s: an amazing 

mixture of Japanese tradition and 

Western pop culture. The works are 

poetic designs, surreal compositions 

and erotic collages from a time in 

which Japan opened up to Western 

culture, and the artist is exemplary 

of the Japanese flower-power 

generation. As the first Art Director 

of Playboy Japan and a designer of 

music posters and record sleeves 

(Jefferson Airplane, The Monkees), 

Tanaami mirrored many ideas of 

his contemporaries such as Andy 

Warhol, Richard Hamilton and Robert 

Rauschenberg.

edited by Johan Holten 

Taste deals with the question 

whether common categories of taste 

are still useful and what significance 

they have in contemporary art. The 

exhibition is devoted to works that 

challenge the idealistic belief in the 

moral and social values of aesthetic 

forms and norms. Chronologically 

this book begins in a historical 

context, with an excursion to the 

time around 1800, when landscape 

painting was not merely meant to 

convey pleasure, but also to set 

moral values. However the main 

focus lies in the perspectives of 

various contemporary artists. A key 

example is John Bock’s staging that 

reflects the specific mechanisms of 

the fashion industry with unusual 

and absurd fashion creations. He 

suggests that taste has become 

now more than ever a category of 

commercial usability of visual signs.

escape. They ingrain themselves 

deep in our collective memory. 

Images of terror are not only 

reproductions that document an 

incident. They are more than pure 

media, transporting interpretations 

through the utilization of their 

aesthetic potential. In our modern 

media-oriented society, photography 

is just as much a weapon as it is 

a goal. Thus there is a thin line 

between the reproduction of an 

action in an image and the image as 

an action itself. This book explores 

the processing of photographs by 

the media and their subsequent 

significance for our daily image 

culture as well as the decisive role 

played by the mass media.

VALIE EXPORT 

Archiv 

texts by Yilmaz Dziewior, Jürgen Thaler, 

Astrid Wege 

edited by Yilmaz Dziewior 

In a revolutionary way, starting in 

1968, the Austrian artist VALIE 

EXPORT pioneered the way for 

feminist and socially critical art. 

The exhibition, VALIE EXPORT: 

Archiv at the Kunsthaus Bregenz 

(29 October 2011 – 22 January 

2012) presented the artist’s work 

in conjunction with her extensive 

archive. Works such as TAPP 

und TASTKINO and Aktionshose: 

Genitalpanik are shown not only as 

autonomous works, but also within 

the context of reference material 

from the archive. This includes 

newspaper articles and sketches, 

film scripts, and Polaroids, collages 

and conceptual drawings. This 

catalogue is conceived as a critical 

engagement with the work and the 

subject of archive. The publication 

contains essays by Yilmaz Dziewior, 

Jürgen Thaler, and Astrid Wege. With 

numerous reproductions from the 

artist’s archive, the publication also 

documents VALIE EXPORT’s way of 

working with which she approaches 

and engages with a theme.

Marijke van 

Warmerdam 

Close by in the Distance: A 

Catalogue Raisonné 

texts by Fiona Bradley, Maarten Doorman, 

Kees van Gelder, Philippe-Alain Michaud, 

Michaela Unterdörfer 

edited by Marente Bloemheuvel 

The snapshot is the central form in 

Marijke van Warmerdam’s œuvre. 

The images she selects are often 

everyday moments, such as a feather 

swirling in the wind, a vapour trail in 

the sky or a girl doing a handstand. 

Rather than providing a narrative, the 

work relies on the visual strength of 

its themes. This monograph offers 

a comprehensive overview of her 

creative output, which embraces film, 

photography, sculpture, installation 

and most recently painting. Included 

is a foreword by Sjarel Ex, João 

Fernandes and Gregor Jansen, 

and an introduction by Marente 

Bloemheuvel. Published on the 

occasion of the exhibition at Museum 

Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, 

19 October 2011 – 22 January 2012;

Whatever Happened to 

Sex in Scandinavia

edited by Marta Kuzma, Pablo Lafuente 

Whatever Happened to Sex in 

Scandinavia is a reader that brings 

together essays, artists’ writings 

and works, and countercultural 

publications to examine the juncture 

of the political and the erotic during 

the 1960s and 1970s. Adopting as 

its starting point the international 

perception of Scandinavia during 

these years as a utopian region of 

socialism and sexual freedom, it 

explores how artistic and cultural 

production of the time reflected an 

experimental impulse that closely 

engaged with movement towards 

sexual and political liberation. 

The book is the conclusion of a 

four-year research project that 

included an exhibition and a public 

programme. It includes many texts 

published in English here for the 

first time. Published with Office for 

Contemporary Art Norway, Oslo.

Manchester’s two main galleries 

will collaborate for the first time on 

a major exhibition of contemporary 

art drawn from countries in West 

Africa. Taking place across three 

locations, Manchester Art Gallery, 

Platt Hall (Gallery of Costume) and 

the Whitworth Art Gallery and Park, 

the exhibition will feature painting, 

drawing, photography, textiles, 

sculpture, video and sound work. The 

title of the exhibition is taken from a 

speech by Ghana’s first president, 

Kwame Nkrumah, made in 1960: ‘We 

face neither East nor West: we face 

forward.’ The publication will include 

biographies and colour images of 

all the artists in the exhibition plus 

the musicians, performers and other 

artists who are contributing to the 

public programme.

Jordan Baseman 

1973 

contributions by Pamela Church Gibson, 

Jonathan Griffin, Patricia Lyons 

edited by Amy Botfield 

1973 is a text and image-based 

exploration and extension of Jordan 

Baseman’s use of creative non-fiction 

practices, focusing primarily on 

interviews with specific participants. 

The publication will directly reflect 

the process through which Jordan 

creates the spoken word narrative 

soundtracks within his filmmaking 

practice. 1973 and a new film, Green 

Lady, were developed and produced 

alongside Baseman’s 2011 residency 

at St. John’s College, University 

of Oxford. Jordan interviewed the 

cultural commentators Jonathan 

Griffin, Patricia Lyons and 

Pamela Church Gibson about 

their experiences and thoughts 

regarding the film. These interviews 

have been edited into narratives: 

soundtracks for never to be made 

films. These texts are not essays, nor 

commissioned creative texts. They 

are manufactured prose derived 

directly from the interview process 

and the participants’ experiences of 

the film Green Lady. A transcript from 

the film accompanies these texts.

Susan Hiller 

From Here to Eternity 

texts by Ellen Seifermann, Richard Grayson, 

Jörg Heiser 

In the 1970s, Susan Hiller was 

using innovative methods to 

study collective experiences such 

as dreams or states of trance, 

memories and visions, and later also 

UFO encounters and near-death 

experiences. With her approach 

based on collecting, archiving and 

analysing, she is a conceptual 

artist of the second generation. 

In her works, Hiller reconciles the 

contradictions between conceptual 

art and empathy, between the 

rational and the unconscious 

or even uncanny. She takes as 

her point of departure forgotten, 

overlooked or repressed phenomena 

in western culture, as well as 

personal memories both collective 

and unconscious. From Here to 

Eternity at Kunsthalle Nürnberg (10 

December 2011 – 19 February 2012) 

is Hiller’s first major solo exhibition in 

Germany with a selection focused on 

works made between 1987 and 2011. 

The show is built around four roomfilling 

audio and video installations, 

and also features an early internet 

project Dream Screens (1996) as 

well as current photographs and 

prints from series including her 

‘homages’ to Yves Klein and Marcel 

Duchamp.

David Lynch 

The Marriage of Picture

artists: David Lynch, Marilyn Manson 

In the autumn of 2010, Brigade 

Commerz was able to ask David 

Lynch a series of questions on 

the occasion of the award of the 

Kaiserring – The Goslar Award for 

Modern Art. The next day there was 

a discussion with students from 

Goslar. The 45-minute audio CD 

David Lynch: The Marriage of Picture 

and Sound has been created from 

the material of the press briefing and 

Lynch’s answers to the students’ 

questions, in which Lynch, normally 

a man of few words, provides deep 

insight into the creative process 

of his works. On the bonus track 

Marilyn Manson talks about his first 

encounter with David Lynch, and the 

filming of Lost Highway.

Sissa Micheli 

One For All 

texts by Adam Budak, Andreas Spiegl, Ana 

Berlin, Friederike Mayröcker, Susanne Barta, 

Daniela Billner, Ruth Hornak, Patricia Gronzka, 

Sabine Gamper, Elsy Lahner 

In this first comprehensive 

monograph, Sissa Micheli presents 

the large series of works that she 

has made in the last 10 years – a 

development from photography, 

via video, to illustrations and 

installations. Performative actions, 

usually re-enactments of real filmic 

events from the past, form the basis 

of her narrative, staged photoworks. 

All of these actions produced 

exclusively for her photo and video 

works – in specially created settings 

– are involved with social role 

patterns and the resulting behaviour 

patterns, as well as with identity 

and basic human emotions. Sissa 

Micheli frequently employs herself 

as a representative protagonist for 

women, for victims and perpetrators, 

for observers or voyeurs. In doing 

this, Sissa Micheli always examines 

the medium of photography 

and its ‘failure’ with respect to 

conclusivity, the function of truth, and 

transitoriness.

texts by Eugenio Viola, Peter Weiermair

Peter Weiermair 

No fashion, please! – the rejection 

of traditional ideas of fashion and 

beauty characterises the exhibition 

at Kunsthalle Vienna (10 November 

2011 – 29 February 2012) and this 

accompanying catalogue. The 19 

featured artists reject traditional 

notions of fashion, gender and 

beauty, and explore the fundamental 

relationship between bodies and 

clothes, the dialectics between the 

form of the body and its appearance. 

The artists are rooted in the 

tradition of body art and reference 

installations, ceremonies, and rituals 

rather than conventional notions 

of fashion. In the context of the 

exhibition, clothes and other products 

of the fashion industry only figure 

as fragments of a narrative miseen-scène 

thematising the dreams 

concerned with a changing aesthetic 

of the body and its ideals.

Solo for Dan 

Perjovschi 

Daily Weekly Monthly 

preface by Barbara Barsch, Ev Fischer 

interview by Barbara Barsch with Dan 

Perjovschi 

Dan Perjovschi’s drawings made in 

black, waterproof felt-tip pen directly 

onto the walls of museums and art 

institutions recall caricatures, graffiti 

or cartoons, and make comments 

with biting humour on social-political 

events and on current world affairs. 

The end of the repressive Romanian 

regime offered the opportunity for 

committed activism. Dan Perjovschi 

is a member of the Group of Social 

Dialogue, a group of Romanian 

intellectuals who advocate critical 

dialogue and who have, since 1991, 

published the weekly newspaper 

Revista 22, for whom the artist still 

regularly works today as an illustrator 

and columnist. At the beginning of 

the1990s the newspaper was seen 

in Romania as the most prestigious 

journal on an intellectual level. 

As inspiration, Perjovschi draws 

on current news items, rumours, 

sightseeing, jokes, television items, 

etc. Perjovschi’s works for Revista 

22 have not been published together 

before. This catalogue provides an 

overview of highlights from the past 

20 years – an era of contemporary 

history commented on with subtle 

irony!

texts by Hans Diebner, Gabriele Horn, 

Didi Neidhart, Elisa Rose, Vitus H. Weh 

Station Rose, founded by Elisa 

Rose and Gary Danner, delivers 

a description of the state of media 

art from 1988, when STR was 

founded as a public media art space 

in Vienna, until now. Station Rose 

are considered to be innovators 

and visionaries in the field of audiovisual 

art, electronic music, net art, 

audiovisual live performance and 

gender equality. From the beginning 

they have performed, exhibited and 

lectured online and at festivals, 

galleries and universities, as well 

as in underground venues and 

clubs. During the early days of the 

internet Station Rose developed a 

language that could function within 

this ephemeral, immediate and 

permanently changing medium. The 

team coined terms and keywords 

such as ‘Cyberspace is our Land’, 

‘Nature is Cool’, ‘Digital Bohème’ 

and made virulent artistic and social 

conditions discernable. This book 

offers not only the context in which 

the team was working but features 

audio-visual works, performances, 

installations and (pre)Web 2.0 

activities and linkings. Included are a 

DVD and audio CD.

Sympathetic Seeing 

Esther McCoy and the Heart 

of American Modernist 

Architecture and Design 

texts and edited by Kimberli Meyer, 

Susan Morgan 

This catalogue accompanies the 

exhibition at the MAK Center L.A. at 

the Schindler House that presents 

the life and work of Esther McCoy, 

and is the first to focus on McCoy’s 

activities affirming her unassailable 

role as a key figure in American 

modernism. The catalogue also 

features a special ‘book within a 

book’, a supplement chronicling 

the demise of the Dodge House 

through letters, documents, and 

newspaper clippings from the 

Esther McCoy Papers, Archives 

of American Art, Smithsonian 

Institution. Esther McCoy moved to 

Los Angeles in 1932 and wrote for 

literary journals, popular magazines, 

and progressive broadsheets. By 

1945, McCoy’s attentive writing had 

turned significantly to architecture 

and for the next 40 years her work 

articulated the concepts and vibrant 

character of West Coast modernism. 

Her writing regularly appeared 

in the Los Angeles Times, Arts & 

Architecture, Zodiac and Architectural 

Forum. In 1960, McCoy published 

Five California Architects, her 

groundbreaking book that remains 

a seminal volume on California 

architecture.

collections of the German speaking 

world. Early studio photography and 

dynamic settings in urban spaces as 

well as surreal compositions, ironic 

views of the fashion industry, and 

the mise-en-scène of dresses to 

supermodels testify to the suggestive 

power of fashion photography 

between innovation and tradition, 

consumerism and art. F. C. Gundlach 

has never understood fashion 

photography as a veneer, but seen 

it as a culture’s form of expression 

mirroring an era’s zeitgeist and view 

of man’s outward appearance.

Vertical Public Space 

texts by Michael Wallraff, Klaus Bollinger/ 

Arne Hofmann, Brigitte Felderer, 

Bart Lootsma, Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, 

Bärbel Vischer 

The Viennese architect Michael 

Wallraff’s visions of urban planning 

represent a clear break from triedand-true 

scenarios of horizontal 

city development. Wallraff has 

spent years delving deeply into 

both the use of vertical spaces 

in the city’s fabric and ways of 

creating new dimensions of social 

interaction via prototypical open 

public spaces situated within densely 

populated urban structures. This first 

overview of his projects and ideas 

explains the central principles of 

Wallraff’s experimental practice and 

simultaneously provides important 

impulses for the reinterpretation of 

urban density.

All the photos and pictures from 

newspapers and magazines, on

Wasmuht came across every day 

and that caught her attention were 

collected in cardboard boxes and 

gradually worked into collages. 

Subversively she tore into fragments 

our overflowing world of pictures 

in the public realm, as she saw fit. 

Destroying something with relish 

creates the necessary distance. On 

the occasion of the award of the 

First Oberrheinischer Kunstpreis to 

Corinne Wasmuht, her collages are 

presented here for the first time as a 

large and independent body of work.

Nives Widauer is a particularly 

versatile artist. The focus of this 

publication is on her works from 

the past 10 years and provides 

a broad overview of all her work 

including performance, video, 

objects, drawings, photographs 

and installations. The book reacts 

to Widauer’s work strategy and 

method of working: On the one 

hand there are the cross-references 

between the artistic work and the 

stage projects, which in part operate 

with the same visual material and 

which have to be seen from the 

aspect of re-framing. On the other 

hand, questions in terms of content 

and different ways of approaching, 

philosophical or (art)-theoretical 

categories form a recurring pattern 

of terminologies which run through 

the work. Published on the occasion 

of the exhibition DO I DREAM OR 

AM I ALIVE at Kunsthaus Baselland

The exhibition Lines of Thought 

explores the work of 15 

contemporary artists, whose practice 

has focused in particular on using 

line in creatively challenging ways. 

With works representing different 

generations, it is remarkable to 

observe how the meaning and 

use of line varies from one artist to 

another. Simply the running on of a 

point, line is paradoxically one of the 

most powerful means of expression. 

Continuous or broken, curved or 

straight, free-floating or geometric, 

lines can define boundaries, divide 

spaces, create light and shade, or be 

used for communication. Published to

Time and Memory 

Cecilia Edefalk and Gunnel 

Wåhlstrand 

texts by Daniel Birnbaum, Peter Cornell 


Time and Memory is dedicated to 

two contemporary Swedish artists. 

Since the late 1980s, Cecilia Edefalk 

has been one of Sweden’s leading 

and most sought-after artists. 

Following Gunnel Wåhlstrand’s 

acclaimed graduation exhibition at 

the Royal University College of Fine 

Arts, Stockholm, in 2003, her work 

has been exhibited internationally. 

Edefalk’s paintings emerge as a 

network of repetitions, reproductions 

and historical memory. Often 

reflecting her own process-oriented 

practice, her scenarios carve out 

haunting exchanges between past 

and present, in which unexpected 

connections unfold with sudden 

clarity. Memory is also at the core 

of Wåhlstrand’s work: her photorealistic 

black-ink drawings are a 

deeply private and meticulously 

reconstructed documentation of 

her personal history. Designed as a 

double cover book, the publication 

features an essay on Cecilia 

Edefalk’s early and recent work 

by Daniel Birnbaum, Director of 

Moderna Museet, Stockholm. Peter 

Cornell, one of Sweden’s leading 

art critics, gives insight into Gunnel 

Wåhlstrand’s delicate approach to 

her personal history.

Artist Book: Ori Gersht 

text by Robert Rowland Smith 

This boxed set contains a softback 

text volume by Robert Rowland 

Smith, and three hardback volumes 

which each take a separate Gersht 

film work as its subject. Will You 

Dance For Me shows an elderly 

dancer, swaying in a rocking chair, 

slowly recounting her experiences in 

Auschwitz. Evaders explores Walter 

Benjamin’s ill-fated escape from Nazi 

occupation along the mountainous 

Lister Route. Offering presents a 

matador preparing for a bullfight and 

expectant audience. These intimate 

books examine the thought process 

behind the making of each film and 

create a seamless visual narrative. 

Each volume combines sources that 

have influenced Gersht including film 

stills, screen grabs, music videos and 

art historical paintings with his own 

drawings, sketches, photographs 

and previous works he considers 

significant. Published alongside Ori 

Gersht’s first major UK museum 

show, This Storm is What We Call 

Progress, Imperial War Museum, 

London, 25 January – 29 April 2012.

as follows – Spades: ceramics and 

glassware; Hearts: furniture and 

lamps; Diamonds: textiles, clothes 

and jewellery; Clubs: equipment 

and tools. The Kings, Queens and 

Jacks are designers who are literally 

clothed in their own creations. The 

numbered cards depict design 

objects and the two Jokers are 

persons who have had a significant 

influence in Finnish design. What, 

then, is design Distinct art objects, 

practical furniture, everyday tools, 

imaginative fashion and much 

more… Put your cards on the table, 

and get a glimpse into the fascinating 

world of design.

Artwork as Social 

Model 

A Manual of Questions and 

Propositions 

Stephen Willats 

texts by Stephen Willats 

Stephen Willats’ art practice 

addresses contemporary social 

and cultural issues. His polemic 

takes ideas beyond the norms and 

conventions of the object-based art 

world, to explore possibilities inherent 

within communal groups. In many of 

his projects he has collaborated with 

members of diverse communities 

in a variety of everyday settings, 

initiating interventions that build 

on the richness and complexity of 

self-organisation to determine and 

reinforce a sense of identity. The 

result is a body of artworks with a 

dynamic, interactive, social function. 

This manual, which includes texts, 

interviews and artwork from five 

decades of practice, is intended as 

a tool for any artist or practitioner 

looking to find a meaningful 

relationship with contemporary 

society. It proclaims, and argues for, 

a culture that promotes the fluid, 

transient, relative and complex 

society from which it stems.

Zembla 

Suspending the Ephemeral 

texts by Siân Bowen, Jan de Hond, Jan-Philipp 

Fruehsorge, Joel Fisher, Chris Dorsett 

introduction by Wim Pijbes 

This special edition contextualises 

the new body of drawings, artist 

books and video works made by 

Siân Bowen over a two-year period 

working as Guest Artist in Drawing at 

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. The Nova 

Zembla collection of prints, which 

were carried as merchandise on 

Willem Barents’ expedition seeking 

a northern route to China in 1596, 

had lain frozen, transformed to 

papier-mâché blocks, in the Arctic for 

nearly three centuries. Reconstructed 

from hundreds of fragments by the 

Rijksmuseum, the prints provided 

opportunities for Bowen to develop 

work which explores the materiality of 

drawing and the ephemeral nature of 

museum objects on paper. Through 

artworks, accompanying essays, 

documentary photographs, video 

stills and texts by the artist, this 

book traces Bowen’s own ‘journey’ 

through the project, emphasizing 

the tactile qualities of her artworks 

which at the same time employ light, 

transparency, perforation, reflection 

and fragility, and consolidate the 

often fugitive nature of the materials 

used in their making.

1989 – 2012 

texts by John Bevis, Simon Cutts, 

Andrew Wilson 

For more than 35 years, Coracle 

has produced artists’ books, critical 

works, editions and ephemera. 

Printed in Norfolk tells the story of 

this key contemporary small press 

in all its manifestations as printer, 

publisher, bookshop and gallery. The 

emphasis here is on the years 1989 

– 2012, when, under the direction 

of Simon Cutts and Erica Van Horn, 

a symbiotic working relationship 

between in-house production, the 

commercial practices of Norfolk 

printers Crome and Akers, and 

Norfolk binder Stuart Settle, signalled 

a new standard for the small press. 

‘Neither a movement nor a formal 

artistic group, Coracle’s works are 

characteristically collaborative, 

reliably accomplishing nonpareil 

works that change one’s perspective.’ 

Marcia Reed, Head, Collection 

Development, Getty Research 

Institute. ‘The activities of Coracle 

have been important for over 30 

years because it has encouraged the 

book – both in terms of manufacture 

and reception (printing and stitching 

as much as turning a page and 

reading) – to be understood to 

issue forth and stand as a tangible 

space, a platform, for critical activity.’

Zarina Bhimji 

texts by T.J. Demos 

Zarina Bhimji in conversation with Achim 

Borchardt-Hume and Kathleen Bühler 

Landscapes and buildings haunted 

by their layered histories are the 

protagonists in British artist Zarina 

Bhimji’s photographs and largescale 

film installations, with India 

and East Africa the repeat locations 

for her foray into the archaeology of 

place. Sound and picture combine 

to transform image into metaphor; 

politics into poetry. This volume 

presents the first overview of Bhimji’s 

work, from early installation pieces 

such as She Loved to Breathe: 

Pure Silence (1987), to her critically 

acclaimed film Out of Blue (2002), 

first shown at documenta XI, and 

her much anticipated latest work 

Yellow Patch (2011). This is a 

major survey exhibition catalogue 

spanning 25 years of Bhimji’s 

career. It includes an essay by art 

historian and writer T.J. Demos, 

as well as a conversation between 

the artist and the exhibition’s 

curators Achim Borchardt-Hume 

and Kathleen Bühler. Zarina Bhimji 

is at Whitechapel Gallery, London, 

19 January – 9 March 2012, and 

is touring in 2012 to Kunstmuseum 

Bern, and to The New Art Gallery 

Walsall.

Robert Heinecken 

Copywork 

text by Kevin Moore 

Robert Heinecken (1931 – 2006) has 

been called one of America’s most 

influential contemporary, conceptual 

photographers, and yet he rarely 

used a camera. His definition 

of photography encompassed 

everything related to the photo; rather 

than focusing on the photographic 

image as a creation derived solely 

from a camera, his interest was 

on the relation of methods and 

formalism – often in an irreverent and 

humorous way – to popular media. 

Copywork, presents an overview of 

Heinecken’s work from the 1960s – 

1990s, highlighting his exploration 

of the material possibilities of the 

medium, and how he created new 

methods to record and produce 

photographic objects using collage, 

lithography, Polaroid, silver gelatin 

prints, colour processes, digital 

prints and experimental uses of 

darkroom chemistry. This book 

features a full portfolio of one of the 

artist’s best-known works: the Are 

You Rea series (1964 – 1968); a 

series which began as photograms 

of magazines and newspapers that 

were subsequently made into gelatin 

silver prints, and finally became an 

edition of lithographs. Published in 

association with Cherry and Martin, 

Los Angeles; Friedrich Petzel Gallery, 

New York; and Marc Selwyn Fine Art, 

Los Angeles. 

Rezi van Lankveld 

At The First Clear Sight 

texts by Leen Bedaux, Jeremiah Day, 

Melissa Gronlund, Zlatko Wurzberg 

Rezi van Lankveld’s paintings 

strikingly balance the shift between 

pictorial scene and creative process. 

The artist’s working procedure has 

remained the same throughout 

her career; oil paint is poured onto 

wooded boards or, in the case of 

the newer works, onto canvas, 

until an image emerges, creating 

a spontaneous ambiguity to the 

pictorial form captured by the artist 

and spectator alike. Graduating from 

Jan van Eyck Akademie, Maastricht 

in 1999, the artist’s most recent 

exhibition at The Approach in 2010 

demonstrated a move from the 

vacant spaces of van Lankveld’s 

earlier paintings, towards pieces in 

which the pictorial elements reach 

out to the edges of the canvas, 

creating forms which rise and fall 

rhythmically across the work. This 

publication presents a selection of 

van Lankveld’s work from 2003 – 

2010 for the first time. Accompanying 

full colour illustrations of van 

Lankveld’s work are texts by Leen 

Bedaux, Jeremiah Day, Melissa 

Gronlund and Zlatko Wurzberg.

Untitled (Portraits) 

Simon Linke in conversation with 

Adrian Searle 

Simon Linke’s newest series of 

paintings continues his exploration 

of the ever powerful Artforum, yet 

marks a clear and major departure in 

his style. Working from photographs 

of a wide range of artists – including 

Marina Abramovic, Albert Giacometti 

and Claude Monet – taken from the 

magazine, Linke first replicates the 

image in pencil, then covers the 

drawing in a colour wash of oil paint. 

These elegant paintings stand in 

stark contrast to his well-known thick 

impasto paintings of advertisements 

from Artforum. Published on 

the occasion of Linke’s first solo 

exhibition at Karsten Schubert, 

London (spring 2012), full colour 

plates of the eight Untitled (Portraits) 

are accompanied by an interview with 

the artist and critic Adrian Searle.

Ernst Wilhelm Nay 

texts by John-Paul Stonard, Dr Pamela Kort 

For Ernst Wilhelm Nay (1902 – 

1968), painting was an entrance to 

a world beyond the visible, a world 

more real and more vital that lay 

beneath the surface of appearances. 

Beginning his career as the chaotic 

years of the Weimar Republic 

became the dark years of the Third 

Reich, it was natural that he should 

look to art for an alternative reality. 

One of Germany’s most important 

abstract painters, this fully illustrated 

publication offers a fresh approach 

to Nay’s work. This first-ever English 

monograph is accompanied by an 

overview of his life and work by John- 

Paul Stonard and in-depth history 

of Nay’s reception in Britain and the 

United States by Dr. Pamela Kort.

Paintings and Gouaches 

1979 – 80 & 2011 

Bridget Riley in conversation with 

Robert Kudielka 

Bridget Riley: Paintings and 

Gouaches 1979 – 80 & 2011 features 

three new paintings which represent 

an important new direction in the 

artist’s work as Riley brings her 

exploration of the circle from the wall 

to the canvas, and from black and 

white to colour. Through the layering 

of circles of yellow and orange, Riley 

asks the eye to continuously adjust 

as the shapes grow and compress, 

recede and advance and dance 

across the canvas. Nine early ‘wave’ 

gouaches, show the relationship 

and interplay of the colours violet, 

blue, green, yellow and pink in these 

twisted curved gouaches. Full colour 

illustrations are accompanied by a 

conversation between Bridget Riley 

and Robert Kudielka from 1978, in 

which the artist discusses her move 

away from the blacks, greys and 

whites of her 1960s and towards 

the use of the curve ‘as a rhythmic 

vehicle for colour’. This publication 

accompanies the exhibition held at 

Karsten Schubert, London, 7 October 

– 18 November, 2011.

Bridget Riley 

colour, stripes, planes and 

curves 

Bridget Riley in conversation with 

Michael Harrison 

For 50 years Bridget Riley has been 

one of the world’s leading abstract 

painters. This exhibition, organised 

uniquely for Kettle’s Yard (University 

of Cambridge, 24 September – 20 

November 2011), takes paintings and 

studies from the last 30 years to trace 

her progress through the agency of 

stripes, planes and curves and back 

to stripes. Despite being abstract, 

Riley’s paintings are rooted in a 

childhood of looking at nature. Art 

school training in life drawing instilled 

a sense of structure, since when a 

continuing study of the art of the past 

has stimulated and informed her 

work. Her early colour paintings were 

strongly influenced by the discoveries 

of Seurat and the Impressionists. 

Study of Cézanne, especially his 

practice of drawing with colour, and 

a desire to dig deeper into pictorial 

space led to the introduction of 

planes in grids formed by the junction 

of intersecting verticals and diagonals 

– and of colours and contrasts. This 

catalogue contains a new interview 

with the artist, conducted by Michael 

Harrison, Director of Kettle’s Yard.

John Stezaker’s found images, 

collages and image fragments are 

most associated with cinematic 

imagery, however it is the other 

found-image sources which he has 

worked with over the past 30 years 

which is the focus of this publication; 

notably the artist’s Bridge collages 

and the anatomical nudes of his 

Fall and Expulsion series. This 

catalogue, published in association 

with Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, 

Philadelphia, which showed the 

exhibition John Stezaker: The Nude 

and Landscape in October 2011, 

centres on Stezaker’s works from 

the 1980s when he switched from 

the cinematic imagery of the 1970s 

towards ‘an engagement with the 

culture of the image to the nature of 

the image’. The catalogue presents 

many new works that have not 

been shown before, and contains 

essays by curator Sid Sachs, who 

explores the relationship between 

the landscape and the nude, and 

Elizabeth Manchester who looks at 

the notion and role of ‘the source’ in 

Stezaker’s work.

The second edition of this 

indispensable collection, Talking Art, 

is now available in a more portable 

format. This popular collection of the 

best of Art Monthly’s interviews since 

the magazine’s inception in the early 

1970s, provides a supplementary 

history of twentieth-century art from 

over 150 perspectives through 

discussions between artists and 

critics. Many leading practitioners 

have been interviewed, often at 

highly significant moments in their 

careers. The interviews provide 

the most immediate access to an 

artist’s thought processes and offer 

compelling narratives of the changing 

creative process. The artist interview 

has occupied an important position in 

Art Monthly since its first issue, and 

the book was first published as part 

of the magazine’s 30th anniversary 

celebrations. The re-release of this 

successful collection will be followed 

by the publication of Talking Art

British artist Gillian Wearing explores 

the lives of ordinary people through 

her photographs and films, often 

masking her subjects and using 

staging techniques to challenge the 

public and private identities of her 

individuals. This monograph provides 

an overview of the artist’s work from 

the early, iconic photographs of 

people holding up signs with written 

personal confessions or thoughts, 

titled Signs that Say What You Want 

Them to Say and Not Signs that Say 

What Someone Else Wants You to 

Say (1992 – 93), to her latest video 

Bully (2010) in which the roles of 

victims and perpetrators, actors and 

directors are blurred. Published to 

accompany the major international 

survey of Wearing’s work (in 2012 –

K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein- 

Westfalen, Düsseldorf, and 

Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, 

which includes new photographic 

works; two portraits from her ongoing 

series of iconic photographers, 

and still lifes of flowers which are 

inspired by the rich symbolism of 

seventeenth-century Dutch painting.

The art of the 24 artists from or based 

in Germany presented in this major 

group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery, 

London (18 November 2011 – 30 

April 2012) provokes a reassessment 

of the nineteenth-century ideal of the 

Gesamtkunstwerk; the total, universal 

art work, or a synthesis of different 

art forms into one all-embracing 

genre. These works ask us to think 

about the boundaries of art, our 

perception of it, and its relationship 

to other disciplines. Running through 

the works is another, unconscious, 

quasi-Gesamtkunstwerk: the 

baggage of post-war German visual 

culture. The artists seem to be in 

dialogue with previous generations 

of German artists, such as Joseph 

Beuys, Martin Kippenberger and 

Gerhard Richter. If the work of 

these artists points to a new kind of 

Gesamtkunstwerk it is one in which 

high and low culture, the avant-garde 

and the historical, the everyday and 

everything in between can co-exist in 

a body of artworks.

Vera Möller 

Fictional Hybrids 

texts by Ian Bride, Justin Clemens, Laurie 

Duggan, Peter Vujakovic 

edited by Sandra Drew, Dan Howard-Birt 

King’s Wood is an ancient woodland 

that sits on the Kentish North Downs 

surrounded by farms that once made 

this county the ‘garden of England’. 

In this book, critic Justin Clemens 

identifies King’s Wood today as ‘a 

place in which some of the crucial 

global anxieties of the present are 

active. Science confronts art, politics 

confronts economics – the play of 

heterogeneous forces in and on 

the place can’t be ignored’. This 

anxiety is reflected in Vera Möller’s 

mise en scène photographs of 

minute sculpted fungi that evoke 

the rich wonder of the natural world, 

the achievements of hybridisation, 

and the shadowy threat of bio-tech 

crops and GM science. Issues of 

hybridity and mutation are explored 

in an essay by Peter Vujakovic, 

whilst Justin Clemens unpicks the 

contested territory of cultured-Nature. 

Ian Bride provides speculative 

taxonomies for a selection of Möller’s 

creations and poet Laurie Duggan 

contributes to the book, a poem 

inspired by walking in King’s Wood.

with Stour Valley Arts in 2009.

Monika Szewczyk 

edited and introduced by Amira Gad, 

Nicolaus Schafhausen 

This title continues Witte de With’s 

collaboration with outstanding photobased 

artists to portray its home 

city of Rotterdam with this politically 

inquisitive publication by Dutch 

Berlin-based artist, Lidwien van de 

Ven. Van de Ven chose to reverse 

the city-specific mandate of the 

project and portrays Rotterdam as a 

microcosm of global developments 

at the intersection of politics and 

religion. Beginning with the highly 

polarizing murders of one-time 

Rotterdam-native Pim Fortuyn and 

the subsequent murder of Theo van 

Gogh – events which have led to the 

rise of an internationally-networked 

right-wing movement whose 

polarising effects on Rotterdam 

and the Netherlands reverberate 

internationally in the aftermath of 

9/11 – she travelled to places as far 

away as Antwerp, Berlin, New York 

and Oslo to trace the resonances 

of the ensuing social struggle and 

political opportunism. The resulting 

photographs cast a meditative view 

onto a world where sensitivity to 

what is visible and what is invisible 

is continually mediated by political 

forces.
