the immersive soundscape installations
and intimate environments of the
Canadian artist duo Janet Cardiff
(born 1957) and georges Bures miller
(born 1960) present an ongoing series
of chapters in the life of the ghost in
the machine. their works describe
tales of tag-sale menace and shared
loneliness through aural means, wholly
reconceiving the gallery experience. a
pioneering collector of new media art,
Ingvild goetz has assembled a significant
series of works by Cardiff and
miller over the years, and this publication
presents this important collection
for the first time. texts by goetz,
okwui enwezor, León Krempel and
rainald Schumacher provide background
details and references to each
work that shed light on its place in the
artists’ oeuvre, with a particular focus
on the couple’s very personal and theatrical
use of sound.

with doug Ashford, bill horrigan,
helen Molesworth.
Josiah mcelheny (born 1966) explores
representations of time and space
through the medium of glass. Some
Pictures of the Infinite looks at 15
years of his work and his ongoing
investigation of twentieth-century
conceptions of infinity and utopia.
mcelheny combines the methodologies
and mathematics of science with the
craftsmanship of artisan glassmaking,
and translates the imaginings of Jorge
Luis Borges, the utopian endeavors of
Bruno taut and paul Scheerbart, the
futuristic thinking of r. Buckminster
Fuller and the sculpturual sensuality
of Isamu noguchi into a range of
kaleidoscopic scale models for the
infinite—most notably in his recent
collaboration with a cosmologist on
Island Universe, an accurate scale
model of the Big Bang. this publication
includes a range of essays by artists
and critics, including gregg Bordowitz,
moyra Davey, Zoe Leonard, amy
Sillman and others.

through a variety of media, including
photographs, sculpture, video and
printed ephemera, new Zealand artist
Simon Denny (born 1982) invites us to
reflect on the evolution of television
and video as both technology and cultural
construct. Denny’s recent works
have included investigations into the
“architecture” of the tv set itself, the
genre conventions of documentary
and the myriad processes by which
content is translated from one medium
to another, be it in television program
stills woven into beach towels or video
montages derived from outdated trade
magazines. this catalogue traces the
arc of the artist’s career, with special
emphasis on projects realized since
2009—including his 2012 exhibition at
the aspen art museum—and features
essays by curator Jacob proctor, critic
pablo Larios and conservator Hanna
Hölling; a conversation between
Denny and three artistic peers; and
illustrations throughout.

With Reference

wALTher könIG, köLn
edited and with introduction by
hans dickel, oliver schwarz.
With Reference to Hans Haacke is a
homage to internationally renowned
political conceptual artist Hans
Haacke (born 1936) on the occasion
of his 75th birthday. It comprises more
than 100 contributions dedicated to
him by three generations of artists—
from vito acconci to Heimo
Zobernig—with more than 300 color
illustrations. the effect of Hans
Haacke’s work extends far beyond
the boundaries of the cultural sphere,
and its influence is demonstrated
throughout this collection: on the
colleagues who know him and on a
younger generation who look to him
as a pioneer in his contemporary treatments
of such issues as ecosystems
and the complexity of our social reality.
Haacke’s unorthodox work has opened
up many debates on the general
political, economic and institutional
conditions of our conception of art.
With Reference to Hans Haacke pays
a visual, equally unorthodox tribute
to an astounding career.

Vik Muniz: Le
Musée Imaginaire
ACTes sud
Text by éric Mézil, vik Muniz.
the Collection Lambert in avignon is
housed within the Hôtel de Caumont,
an elegant eighteenth-century building
whose exterior and interiors are
regularly transformed by visiting contemporary
artists. In December 2011,
the Collection Lambert invited the
Brazilian-born, new York–based photographer
vik muniz (born 1961) to respond
to the collection and construct
from it his own “imaginary museum,”
after the example of andré malraux.
muniz duly took up residence at the
Collection and his responses to its
holdings were exhibited there from
December 2011 to may 2012. In this
volume accompanying the show,
110 masterpieces by piranesi, goya,
monet, van gogh, Cézanne, picasso,
Warhol and other canonical figures are
recreated by the artist through incongruous
materials such as wool,
ketchup, chocolate sauce, pigments,
magazines, confetti, dried plants and
garbage.

Elad Lassry:
On Onions
PrIMArY InforMATIon
Text by Angie keefer.
On Onions is a photographic study of
onions by Israeli-born artist elad
Lassry (born 1977). Characteristically
highlighting the spectrum of hues and
shapes for the vegetable, Lassry’s selected
taxonomy includes sections on
red, yellow and white onions, each of
which possesses its own distinct taste
and benefits. On Onions is Lassry’s
first artist’s book, and the work will
exist only in book form; it is at once
wry, refreshing and disorienting in its
biology workbook style, which makes
fruitful use of “the confusion that results
when there is something just
slightly wrong in a photograph” (as
the artist has described his practice
in general). Composed by the artist
and arranged by Stuart Bailey, the
book includes an essay written by
angie Keefer about the effects of
sliced onions on human tear ducts.

Diane Borsato
ArT GALLerY of York unIversITY
edited by stephanie springgay.
Introduction by Philip Monk.
Text by diane borsato, emelie
Chhangur, stephanie springgay,
darren o’donnell, scott watson.
Collaborating with a varied cast of
characters—beekeepers, mycologists,
astronomers, physicists, bees, cats,
snowballs, tango dancers, passersby,
plants, curators, hotel porters—
Canadian artist Diane Borsato creates
works that propose eccentric models
for relating to one another and to the
world. For her project Italian Lessons,
she attempted to learn Italian by
learning salsa, physics, first aid and
beekeeping by way of Italian instruction.
In Terrestrial/Celestial, Borsato
coordinated an unconventional
exchange of observational practices—
from opposite ends of the scale—
between amateur mycologists and
amateur astronomers. In a new work,
Walking Studio, Borsato proposes
a different space for research and
reflection with her mobile field study
lab, comprised of a study center and
fully functional sauna. this overview
is published to accompany a solo
exhibition at the art gallery of York
University in 2012.

Critical Art
Ensemble:
Disturbances
four Corners books
foreword by brian holmes.
Since its formation in 1987, Critical art
ensemble has set out to explore the intersections
between art, critical theory,
technology and political activism.
Composed of a revolving cast of media
practitioners, the award-winning group
has exhibited and performed in a variety
of venues internationally, from the
street to the museum to the internet.
Disturbances is the first book to assess
the group’s 25-year history, examining
the environmental, political and biotechnological
themes of their various
initiatives. each project is presented by
the group itself, from Flesh Machine
(1997–1998), in which they exposed the
role of eugenics in the fertility market,
to the multimedia Marching Plague
(2005–2007), which revealed the farcical
failures of governmental germ warfare
programs. Disturbances is a
landmark handbook for activists in art,
theory, science and politics.
