Minimalism in Germany offers a
definitive overview of constructivist
and concrete abstraction and the
avant-garde in 1960s germany. With
a wealth of color illustrations, this
massive and ambitious compendium
features approximately 100 works—
from serial sculptures to action-oriented
works, mostly drawn from the
Daimler art Collection—by around 40
artists. opening with an examination
of predecessors such as Josef albers,
norbert Kricke, Herbert Zangs and
Siegfried Cremer, it looks at developments
in abstract art in the cities of
Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin
and munich, also acknowledging
relevant developments in neighboring
Switzerland. among the artists
included here are Hartmut Böhm,
Imi giese, Hanne Darboven, Hermann
glöckner, Heinz mack, peter roehr,
Charlotte posenenske, Ulrich rückriem
and Franz erhard Walther. essays
on minimalist tendencies in german
architecture, literature, film and
design of the period in germany
expand the context for their activities.

Arte Povera
hATJe CAnTz
Text by Mendes bürgi, Luca Cerizza,
Ingvild Goetz, Christiane Meyer-stoll,
Angela vetesse.
the term “arte povera” was introduced
by the influential critic and curator
germano Celant in 1967, to describe a
new art that expressed the economic
and cultural turbulence of the late
1960s in Italy. this art became identified
with the use of “poor” materials
such as soil, glass, wood and wax, but
in fact its products ranged from paintings
and sculptures to photographs
and performances. artists such as giovanni
anselmo, alighiero Boetti, Jannis
Kounellis, mario merz, pino
pascali, and michelangelo pistoletti
were the stars of this new movement,
and their innovations have made for a
lasting legacy among subsequent generations
exploring raw materials, the
possibilities of the gallery space and
everyday detritus. the Sammlung
goetz possesses one of the most comprehensive
collections of arte povera,
presented in this publication for the
first time alongside archival photographs
and documents.

Artistic Practice as Research

edited and foreword by florian
dumbois, ute Meta bauer, Claudia
Mareis, Michael schwab.
In recent years, the idea of art as an
act of research has gained increasing
currency, greatly enlarging the parameters
of art itself. Intellectual Birdhouse
gathers a broad range of interpretations
of this paradigm shift through
writings by authors from a range
of disciplines. tom Holert offers
“Scattered thoughts on ‘artistic
research’ and ‘Social responsibility’”;
Hito Steyerl assesses research as an
“aesthetic of resistance”; Hannes
rickli discusses art and biology;
michael Schwab interviews Henk
Borgdorff; Sabine Flach looks at
Kandinsky’s merging of art and
science; penelope Haralambidou
writes on “allegory, architecture and
Figural theory”; Florian Hecker and
Sonia matos discuss psychoactive
acoustic experiences; and renee green
writes on “paradoxes experienced by
artist-thinkers.” other contributors include
Jan Svenungsson, Henk Slager,
Sarat maharaj and Francisco varela,
Hans-Jorg rheinberger, raqs media
Collective, marcus Steinweg, Bracha L.
ettinger, Jonathan miles, paul Carter,
gina Badger and alise Upitis.

Archetypes and
Historicity
Paintings and Other Radical
Forms 1995–2007
By Mario Diacono.
sILvAnA edITorIALe
gallerist and art writer mario Diacono
(born 1930) has been among postwar
painting’s liveliest advocates, espousing,
exhibiting and writing about the
work of alex Katz, Julian Schnabel,
Francesco Clemente, mimmo paladino,
Sigmar polke, georg Baselitz and hundreds
of others, through his eponymous
galleries in Bologna, rome,
Boston and new York. this enormous
compendium gathers Diacono’s essays
written for exhibitions held in the
mario Diacono gallery between 1994
and 2007, complementing Iconography
and Archetypes as a critical survey of
american and european painting at
the turn of the millennium. as the title
implies, a preoccupation throughout
these writings is the creative tension
between historical determinacy and recurrent
motif (archetype). among the
artists discussed are matthew ritchie,
Jacqueline Humphries, Doug and
mike Starn, Kevin Zucker, Daniel rich,
James Siena, Dana Schutz and Kelley
Walker.

Intangible

fILLIP edITIons
edited by Antonia hirsch. Text by
Juan A. Gaitán, Melanie Gilligan, , Antonia
hirsch, Candice hopkins, olaf
nicolai, Patricia reed, Monika szewczyk,
Jan verwoert.
treating the idea of an economy as a
general system of exchange, Intangible
Economies advances the idea that personal
relationships are produced by
economic activity, and that desire generates
economic transactions. Intangible
Economies, speculatively
investigates the role that these “affective
transactions” play in modes of representation
and cultural production.
the abstract and abstracting function
of value itself becomes particularly significant
in this constellation, in its relation
to both capitalist economy and to
ethics. First developed for a 2011 conference
in vancouver, the essays included
in this anthology seek to tackle
the difficult task of tracing the role of
affect in economic exchanges relative
to artistic production, while also enacting
the unruly force of such transactions.
the contributing essayists are
melanie gilligan, Juan a. gaitàn,
Hadley + maxwell, Candice Hopkins,
olaf nicolai, patricia reed, monika
Szewczyk and Jan verwoert.

artist-run initiatives in north america
provided a space for the presentation
and legitimization of experimental
work and for the assertion of socially
progressive and politically radical
ideas and questions. In making such
spaces available, artist-run initiatives
have operated alternately as flash
points for heated debates and controversies,
as well as platforms for social
understanding and remaining for their
audiences. Institutions by Artists: Volume
One presents a collection of texts
addressing the performance and promise
of contemporary global artist-run
centers and initiatives within the historical
contexts that saw their emergence.
texts address centers in
amman (Jordan), Brisbane (australia),
vancouver (Canada), Zurich (Switzerland)
and tokyo (Japan), Barcelona
(Spain), among others. the book is
published as part of Fillip’s ongoing
Folio Series which presents anthologies
of new and previously published
questions on international contemporary
art.

Text by sabine witt, britta Peters,
fanti baum, et al.
Between the “arab Spring” and the occupy
movement, 2011 will certainly be
remembered as the year of insurrection,
and this volume could not come
at a more timely moment. Demonstrations
offers an interdisciplinary discussion
of the possibilities of public
demonstration through an analysis of
historical and contemporary paintings,
graphics, photographs, installations,
video and sound works and performances.
