A House Full of<br />

Strategies in Music and Art<br />

Thomas schäfer, et al.<br />
Famously described by Schönberg as<br />
“not a composer, but an inventor—of<br />
genius,” John Cage (1912–1992) was<br />
one of the great strategists and pioneers<br />
of twentieth-century music and<br />
art. A House Full of Music celebrates<br />
Cage’s one-hundredth birthday by examining<br />
12 fundamental strategies<br />
through which art and music have informed<br />
each other: recording, collage,<br />
silence, destruction, calculation, coincidence,<br />
feeling, thought, belief, furnishing,<br />
repetition and playing. Starting<br />
with such key figures as erik Satie,<br />
marcel Duchamp, nam June paik and<br />
Joseph Beuys, this book conjoins essays<br />
by art and music theorists with<br />
works by artists, musicians and composers.<br />
this landmark publication on a<br />
century-long “music circus” features<br />
everyone from arnold Schönberg, Karlheinz<br />
Stockhausen, Iannis xenakis,<br />
Carsten nicolai and robert Filliou to<br />
Laurie anderson, anri Sala, einstürzende<br />
neubauten, Frank Zappa<br />
and many others.<br />

Cosey Complex<br />
wALTher könIG, köLn<br />
edited by Maria fusco, richard birkett.<br />
Introduction by Maria fusco.<br />
a pioneering figure in Industrial/experimental<br />
music and performance art,<br />
Cosey Fanni tutti has embodied many<br />
roles since her early days as one half of<br />
CoUm transmissions, alongside genesis<br />
p-orridge. CoUm’s first art exhibition,<br />
Prostitution, at the ICa London<br />
in 1976, outraged the public with its inclusion<br />
of bloodied tampons and photographs<br />
of Cosey modeling for porn<br />
magazines, and was closed after four<br />
days. Cosey and genesis went on to<br />
cofound throbbing gristle, the band<br />
that pioneered and named Industrial<br />
music as a genre; when they split in<br />
1981 she formed the electronica duo<br />
Chris & Cosey with tg keyboardist<br />
Chris Carter. In 2010, Cosey returned<br />
to the ICa for an all-day celebration of<br />
her work, arranged by editor and author<br />
maria Fusco. arising from that occasion,<br />
this volume is the first major<br />
publication on Cosey, and features<br />
contributions by martin Bax, gerard<br />
Byrne, Cosey Fanni tutti, Daniela Cascella,<br />
Diedrich Diederichsen, graham<br />
Duff, John Duncan, Chris Kraus and<br />
many others.<br />

Florian Hecker:<br />
Chimerizations<br />
PrIMArY InforMATIon<br />
Introduction by Catherine wood.<br />
Text by reza negarestani.<br />
electronic composer and sound artist<br />
Florian Hecker (born 1975) has made<br />
inventive use of contrasting and<br />
conflicting auditory illusions or<br />
chimeras—perhaps most famously<br />
on his recent acclaimed mego album<br />
Acid in the Style of David Tudor, which<br />
brilliantly and bizarrely merged the<br />
two soundworlds of acid house and<br />
avant-garde electronics. auditory<br />
chimeras have been previously explored<br />
in electroacoustic music, in<br />
particular by alvin Lucier, but have<br />
never been as rigorously researched<br />
and exploited as by Hecker. this<br />
volume documents four sound pieces<br />
that dramatize auditory illusions,<br />
effectively composing within the<br />
relationship between our perception<br />
of pitch and the localization of sound,<br />
as we process the two in our auditory<br />
cortices. the pieces are partly transcribed<br />
using a form of notation<br />
called “typotranslation,” developed by<br />
Hecker at mIt.<br />

Women Art<br />
Revolution<br />
A Film by Lynn Hershman<br />
Leeson<br />
zeITGeIsT fILMs<br />
For more than 40 years, artist and filmmaker<br />
Lynn Hershman Leeson (Teknolust,<br />
Strange Culture) has collected a<br />
plethora of interviews with her contemporaries<br />
and shaped them into this<br />
intimate portrayal of their fight to dismantle<br />
barriers facing women both in<br />
the art world and society at large. an<br />
entertaining and revelatory secret history<br />
of feminist art, Women Art Revolution<br />
illuminates this movement<br />
through conversations, observations,<br />
archival footage and works of artists,<br />
historians, curators and critics. Starting<br />
from feminism’s roots in 1960s antiwar<br />
and civil rights protests, the film<br />
details developments in women’s art<br />
through the 1970s and explores the<br />
tenacity and courage of these pioneering<br />
artists. With a rousing score by<br />
Carrie Brownstein of Sleater Kinney,<br />
the film features miranda July, the<br />
guerrilla girls, Yvonne rainer, Judy<br />
Chicago, marina abramovic, Yoko<br />
ono, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger,<br />
B. ruby rich, Ingrid Sischy, Carolee<br />
Schneemann, miriam Schapiro, marcia<br />

Louise Bourgeois:<br />
The Spider, the<br />
Mistress and the<br />
Tangerine<br />
A Film by Marion Cajori &<br />
Amei Wallach<br />
zeITGeIsT fILMs<br />
Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress<br />
and the Tangerine is a mesmerizing<br />
cinematic journey inside the world<br />
of the modern art legend and feminist<br />
icon. as an artist, Louise Bourgeois always<br />
worked on her own vigorously inventive<br />
and disquieting terms. In 1982,<br />
at the age of 71, she became the first<br />
woman honored with a major retrospective<br />
at the museum of modern<br />
art. She went on to create her most<br />
powerful and persuasive work—the<br />
massive spider sculptures that have<br />
since been exhibited all over the world.<br />
as a screen presence, Bourgeois is<br />
magnetic, mercurial and emotionally<br />
raw. Filmed with unparalleled access<br />
between 1993 and 2007, this documentary<br />
delicately sheds light on the ways<br />
in which her childhood traumas and<br />
memories became embodied in objects<br />
and installations. an intimate and<br />
human engagement with an artist’s<br />
world, this documentary is a comprehensive<br />
and dramatic work of creativity<br />
and revelation.<br />

Bill Cunningham<br />
New York<br />
A Film by Richard Press<br />
zeITGeIsT fILMs<br />
“We all get dressed for Bill,” says<br />
Vogue editor-in-chief anna Wintour.<br />
the Bill in question is New York Times<br />
photographer Bill Cunningham. For<br />
decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural<br />
anthropologist has chronicled fashion<br />
trends he spots emerging from<br />
manhattan’s sidewalks and high<br />
society charity soirees, for his popular<br />
Style section columns “on the Street”<br />
and “evening Hours.” the range<br />
of people he snaps includes uptown<br />
fixtures like Wintour, Brooke astor,<br />
tom Wolfe and annette de la renta,<br />
as well as downtown eccentrics and<br />
everyone in between. rarely has<br />
anyone embodied contradictions as<br />
happily and harmoniously as Cunningham,<br />
who lived a monklike existence<br />
in the same Carnegie Hall studio for<br />
50 years, never eats in restaurants<br />
and gets around solely on his bike.<br />
Bill Cunningham New York is a<br />
delicate, funny and often poignant<br />
portrait of a dedicated artist whose<br />
only wealth is his own humanity and<br />
unassuming grace.”<br />

Arte Povera<br />
A Film by Sergio Ariotti &<br />
Beatrice Merz<br />
hoPefuLMonsTer edITore<br />
this DvD reintroduces the essential<br />
2000 vHS video documentary Arte<br />
Povera by Sergio ariotti and Beatrice<br />
merz, a complete, chronological<br />
overview of the radical—and defiantly<br />
unglamorous—Italian “poor art” movement<br />
that arose in the late 1960s to<br />
contest the separation of art and everyday<br />
life. It presents ample archival material<br />
from all the significant group<br />
exhibitions—from the three-day event<br />
“arte povera + azioni povere at<br />
amalfi” of 1968 to the venice Biennale<br />
of 1997—along with footage of recent<br />
solo exhibitions and interview clips<br />
with founding member and art historian<br />
germano Celant, and a range of<br />
other artists, critics and gallery directors.<br />
Arte Povera presents the movement<br />
in all its complexity, and includes<br />
such participants as giovanni<br />
anselmo, alighiero Boetti, pier paolo<br />
Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis<br />
Kounellis, mario merz, marisa merz,<br />
giulio paolini, giuseppe penone,<br />
