Mirror 

Elaine Wilson 

texts by Trevor Keeble, Matt Hearn, 

Sue Hubbard 

In Mirror Elaine Wilson explores 

themes of self and the ‘other’ in a 

series of ceramic sculptures and 

collages. Using the language of 

ornamental sculpture and figurines 

she retraces received notions of 

women and femininity. The book 

was associated with solo exhibitions 

at The Hatton Gallery and Globe 

Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, 

and GIFT gallery, London. ‘Elaine 

Wilson’s work is gritty, uncomfortable 

and probing. It asks questions 

about who we are and how we see 

ourselves within the confines of our 

commodified society. Subtle, complex 

and multilayered, it sneaks up on us 

to take us by surprise, lulling us with 

its decorative beauty, whilst pulling 

a punch like an iron fist in a very 

elegant velvet glove.’ (Sue Hubbard)

text by David Chandler 

photographs by John Kippin 

He is a publication about fathers, 

memory and places. It brings 

together writing by David Chandler 

together with images by John Kippin. 

Both create an image based on 

memories of their own fathers. The 

two different narratives wind their 

way in and out of one another, often 

offering up unexpected echoes, or 

images and situations that resonate 

strangely together. The reader is 

taken from place to place, through 

interior and exterior, and between 

past and present, in a way that 

reflects not only personal histories 

but also reveal something of a wider, 

social one. Overall the book aims to 

explore the ambiguities of texts and 

of images in revealing their stories 

and it has become an experiment in 

making a different kind of publication; 

one that synthesizes memory, prose 

and photography; that is personal, 

but public, truthful and recognizable, 

but ultimately grasping at that which 

is unknowable.

edited by Andrew Hewish 

In collaboration with Art Editions 

North, Phantasieblume is the first 

in Centre for Recent Drawing’s 

Documents for Recent Drawing 

monograph series, devoted to Nick 

Fox’s highly charged and aesthetic 

practice. His seductive drawings, 

mirrored paintings and craft objects 

reveal an intoxicating blend of 

graphic sexual imagery and Victorian 

Floriography, creating elusive 

narratives and unsustainable utopias. 

Playfully inverting and personalising 

these subcultural and decorative 

languages, Fox fuses a symbolic 

role to themes of desire, longing 

and loss. This survey features works 

made between 2005 and 2010 and 

was published following the touring 

exhibition of the same name at 

Centre for Recent Drawing, London 

(2009), Vane, Newcastle (2010) and 

Hå gamle prestegard, Norway (2011).

edited by Hannah Firth 

Delaine Le Bas’ installations 

incorporate found objects, textile 

techniques, performance and film

displacement and homelessness that 

the community continues to face.

comprising installation, performance 

and new music. Originally 

commissioned by aspex, Portsmouth, 

the exhibition has continued to 

develop with further exhibitions for

Chalayan 

text by Alison Moloney 

This guide was produced to 

accompany the British Council 

touring exhibition Reconstruction: 

Cultural Heritage and the Making 

of Contemporary Fashion. The 

exhibition celebrates the work of 

seven of the UK’s leading fashion 

designers whose work embodies 

elements of their respective pasts 

– either personal moments or a 

collective cultural heritage – to 

create contemporary garments with 

narrative. Although fashion is deeply 

entwined with personal identity, it 

can also hold within its fabric whole 

histories and cultures. Included in 

this guide is the work of some of 

British fashion’s most internationally 

renowned designers – Paul Smith, 

Vivienne Westwood, Hussein 

Chalayan and Sophia Kokosalaki, 

Peter Jensen, Marios Schwab and 

Osman Yousefzada.

Volume 2 

La Laguna di Venezia 

This is the second volume of a twopart 

publication exploring the themes 

of Villa Frankenstein, the British 

Pavilion contribution to the 12th 

International Architecture Exhibition 

in Venice. Commissioned by the 

British Council, artistic director muf 

architecture/art LLP challenged all 

assumptions by opening up the 

British Pavilion to everyone from 

scientists to children in the city. 

Under the loose banner of ‘two-way 

traffic between Britain and Venice’, 

muf brought together a rich gamut 

of collaborators; rare notebooks by 

John Ruskin, previously unseen 

photographs of Venice by a resident 

amateur photographer, and an 

important scientific study of the 

Venetian lagoon. Also available 

is Volume 1 Close Looking which 

provides a rich collection of essays 

and images addressing the context 

of the British Pavilion exhibition in 

Venice.

BORN AFTER 1924 

artists: Ingo Gerken, Matti Isan Blind, 

Madeleine Boschan, Rainer Ganahl, Antonia 

Low, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Reto Pulfer, 

Gregor Schneider 

edited by Clarissa Corfe 

BORN AFTER 1924 is a re-edited 

and a re-interpreted version of Kurt 

Schwitters and El Lissitzky’s historic, 

avant-garde Merz Magazine (issue 

8/9) of 1924 called Nasci featuring 

the contemporary works by the artists 

in the exhibition. Interpreting the 

contemporary legacy of the Merzbarn 

and Kurt Schwitters in the UK, 

Castlefield Gallery invited German 

artist Ingo Gerken to respond to 

Schwitters’ publication. The theme of 

the magazine, Nasci, meaning ‘being 

born’ or ‘becoming’ forged an alliance 

of Dadaist and Constructivist ideals 

and included reproductions and texts 

by Tatlin, Braque, Ray, Mondrian, 

Malevich and van der Rohe among 

others. Often referring to his work 

as ‘activating’ art-historical contexts, 

Gerken is interested in the porosity 

of imagined and real spaces, 

their construction, flexibility and 

weight. Published to accompany 

the exhibition at Castlefield Gallery, 

February – April 2011.

This illustrated catalogue explores 

how international contemporary 

artists are deploying text, image, 

sound, chemistry, light, personal 

archives, gesture and spoken word 

to prompt reflection on past, present 

and potential forms of cinema. 

Together the work explores a field 

where cinema – as experience, 

language, history, theory and artefact 

– is unraveled as potent material 

and strategy for artistic production. 

These reinvented visual technologies 

and forensic dissections of iconic 

scenes indicate the continuing 

project by contemporary artists to 

critically recycle cinema history, 

to reveal the fundamental illusory 

nature of celluloid, and question the 

dominant digital model. Published

The Drawing Room 


Aleana Egan 

At intervals, while turning 

text by Ciara Moloney 

edited by Kate Macfarlane 

This is an artist’s book that 

accompanies Aleana Egan’s solo 

exhibition at the Drawing Room in 

2011. ‘Drawing forms the starting 

point of Egan’s work, with a 

sketchbook providing a repository 

for the noting down of ideas and 

experimentation with forms that 

are developed into autonomous 

drawings, collages, sculptures and 

films. Ideas are triggered through 

observations made during everyday 

life, but also by memories of 

childhood experiences and works of 

literature. Often inchoate, these are 

atmospheric and sensory triggers 

that lack narrative definition and 

carry through into her practice 

through a subtle and intuitive working 

process. For example, it was the 

aura of tightness, a certain tension, 

that reading Jean Rhys’ novel Good 

Morning, Midnight left her with, and 

it was this quality that she sought 

to engender in a sculptural form 

Character, 2010, although quite 

different from the drawing that Egan 

made after reading this story, does 

retain some of its characteristics.’

The 80s Revisited 

From the Bischofberger 

Collection 

The feeling about being alive was 

marked by many contradictions 

in the 1980s. Many young artists 

felt homeless and yet full of 

energy; their works feature cold 

abstraction alongside fierce Neo- 

Expressionism. The Swiss art dealer 

Bruno Bischofberger dedicated 

himself to the art of this young, wild 

generation and assembled the most 

significant collection of 1980s art. 

After almost 30 years, a look back at 

the aesthetic power of these pictures 

makes painting’s great virtuosity in 

the late 20th century very visible. It 

involved a ‘battle against the yawn’, 

an uncompromising reanimation of 

painting. The first part of the book 

presents John Armleder, Francesco 

Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Jirí Georg 

Dokoupil, Rainer Fetting, Keith 

Haring, Salomé, Philip Taaffe and 

others. The second part is devoted 

to the New York superstars of the 

1980s such as Andy Warhol, Julian 

Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

KRIWET 

Yester ‘n’ Today 

artist: Ferdinand Kriwet 

edited by Gregor Jansen 

This is a survey of Kriwet’s works 

made over the past 40 years. 

Ferdinand Kriwet is regarded as a 

pioneer of media art. Ahead of his 

time, he already dealt in the 1960s 

with our way of seeing that has been 

influenced by the sensory overload 

of the mass media in exhibitions, 

stage appearances and radio plays, 

analysing the process, the language 

of television, advertising and 

photography. Kriwet, whose work is 

rooted in concrete poetry, describes 

himself as a visual poet. Aside from 

his neon signs and wall paintings, 

the versatile Düsseldorf-born artist 

also worked in subsequent years on 

numerous art projects in conjunction 

with architecture. He furthermore 

produced a large number of texts for 

radio. Ferdinand Kriwet had already 

written ROTOR, his first book to be 

published by DuMont Buchverlag, 

at the age of 19. His oeuvre 

encompasses paintings, music, texts 

and mixed media works.

Heinz Mack 

Life and Work 1931 – 2011 

edited by Heinz Mack, Ute Mack 

On his 80th birthday, the life and 

work of the sculptor and painter 

Heinz Mack is honoured with this 

comprehensive publication that 

provides insights into the innovative 

and creative quality, and authenticity 

of a unique artistic personality. It 

casts light on all phases of Mack’s 

development, including the decisive 

ZERO period, drafting a lucid 

spectrum of his fascination with 

light. Noteworthy authors such as 

Johannes Cladders, Dieter Honisch 

and Karin Thomas offer snapshots 

of Mack’s multifaceted oeuvre. The 

artist takes the viewer along on an 

inspiring journey to the Algerian 

desert and the Arctic, among other 

places, and invites the reader in an 

autobiographical text to partake in his 

dreams and utopias. Heinz Mack’s 

artistic ideas circulate in this tension 

field between utopia and reality and 

the artist draws his energy from the 

discrepancy between bold designs 

and harsh reality.

Alexander Mihaylovich 

text by Wibke von Bonin 

The American artist Alexander 

Mihaylovich comprehends his work 

as a ‘modest tribute to a great 

civilisation of the past,’ and has dealt 

intensely with classical antiquity 

since the late 1970s. Mihaylovich 

not only paints seemingly Egyptian, 

Greek or Roman sculptures, he also 

invents ideal landscapes in the style 

of the Dutch and the Italians. He 

furthermore loves baroque ‘stagings 

and putti’ that appear sweet and 

contemplative at the same time. One 

of his best known works is a painting 

and installation at the same time: 

King Menes, the first ruler to unite 

Upper and Lower Egypt, serves as 

a symbol of the universal human 

principle. The artist’s plea is: If we 

lose art, we lose ourselves. Carpe 

diem. Preserve art.

Emil Nolde and Emil 

Schumacher 

Kindred Spirits 

edited by Manfred Reuther 

Emil Nolde (1867 – 1956) and Emil 

Schumacher (1912 – 1999) are 

united by an unconditional search 

for a painterly expression of their 

inner pictorial worlds. Both artists 

draw on the Romantic legacy, 

remaining true to its central demand 

that the artist should not only paint 

what he sees, but more importantly 

what he sees in himself. Nolde’s 

painting is characterised by powerful, 

contrasting colours and a high level 

of abstraction. Schumacher’s work, 

on the other hand, is marked by a 

life-long shift between abstraction 

and figuration, the formal bracket 

of which is formed by the pictures’ 

sensual materiality and colours. 

This book covers the range from 

Nolde’s Expressionist landscapes 

and seascapes to Schumacher’s 

gesturally developed landscapes of 

the soul, and thus casts light for the 

first time on the visual connection 

between Expressionism and Abstract 

Expressionism in the work of two of 

its greatest masters.

Power Up 

Female Pop Art 

artists: Evelyne Axell, Christa Dichgans, 

Rosalyn Drexler, Jann Haworth, Dorothy 

Iannone, Sister Corita Kent, Kiki Kogelnik, 

Marisol, Niki de Saint Phalle 

edited by Angelika Stief 

Rediscovering outstanding women 

Pop artists, Power Up aims at the 

reinterpretation of an art movement 

that until today has primarily been 

associated with male protagonists. 

Plastic, loud colours, reduced 

forms, and graphic contours – the 

nine women artists’ works on 

display resemble those of their 

male colleagues in many respects. 

Whereas their works appeal to 

the taste of the masses, these 

artists, as pioneers of Feminism, 

have remained belligerent and 

critical. They reveal the consumer 

culture’s superficiality, exposing the 

commodity myth as an empty shell 

like Christa Dichgans, ironically 

transforming everyday objects to 

oversized kitsch objects like Jann 

Haworth, or exploring mass media 

clichés and superstar constructions 

like Rosalyn Drexler. Like Sister 

Corita, a committed peace activist, 

they took a clear stand on the sixties’ 

social and political events such as 

the Vietnam War.

Arnulf Rainer 

Visages 

edited by Arnulf Rainer Museum 

This catalogue is devoted to one of 

the central themes in Arnulf Rainer’s 

oeuvre: faces. Rainer demonstrates 

here his long interest in and dealings 

with his own face, death masks and 

the re-use of faces from the history 

of art ranging from antiquity to the 

late 19th century. Rainer employs 

the face as a tabula rasa, as the 

foundation on which he develops 

an art that is free of conventions on 

the one hand, and is also capable 

of re-establishing the link between 

art and life on the other. Published 

to accompany the exhibition at the 

Arnulf Rainer Museum, Baden, 

November 2010 – September 2011.

Katharina Sieverding 

Testcuts. Projected Data 

Images 

edited by imai-inter media art institute 

Katharina Sieverding is known 

for her self-portraits, large-format 

photographs and photographic 

installations dealing with the origins, 

production, encoding and suggestive 

impact of media images. The 

catalogue focuses on the installation 

Projected Data Image: Testcuts, 

for which the artist undertook a first 

comprehensive sorting through of the 

photographic archive she has been 

assembling for more than 40 years. 

The basis of this auditing was not 

the negatives, but the so-called ‘test 

cuts’, the fragmentary by-products of 

the analogue enlargement process. 

Strung together in digital montages, 

these chance picture details from 

over 1,800 photographs offer 

contemporary references that bring 

an individual, ahistorical memory 

construction of persons, exhibitions 

and events in Düsseldorf and the 

international art world since 1966 

to life.

Renilson, Jonathan Branson, Katja Lindqvist 

edited by Karen Raney 

This issue of the engage journal 

examines the current relationship 

between learning and marketing 

in gallery education. Some of the 

questions considered in this journal 

are: What are the implications of 

the ‘experience economy’ when 

applied to museums and galleries? 

Does gallery education need to be 

defended from market forces? How 

are education and marketing allied

Visual Pleasure 

Dawn Woolley 

text by Darian Leader 

afterword by Dawn Woolley 

Visual Pleasure brings together 

artwork and research completed over 

the past four years by artist Dawn 

Woolley including documentation 

from a series of performance 

installations: Cut to the Measure 

of Desire. Woolley’s artwork forms 

an enquiry into the act of looking 

and being looked at. Referring to 

psychoanalysis, phenomenology 

and feminism she examines her 

experience of being an object of sight 

and also considers the experience 

the viewer has when looking at her 

as a female, and as a photographic 

object. Voyeurism and exhibitionism 

intertwine in purposefully provocative 

scenes. Visual Pleasure includes a 

critical essay by Woolley that takes 

modes of looking and spectatorship 

as its subject. The text considers the 

psychology of perception and illusion 

in art referring to seminal texts by 

Laura Mulvey, Maurice Merleau- 

Ponty, Micheal Foucault and Jacques 

Lacan.

No Place Like Home 

Faye Chamberlain / Chris 

Young 

editorial and introduction by Lisa Edgar 

text by Dr. Ben Fincham 

No Place Like Home was a unique 

arts project culminating in a 

publication, exhibition and sound 

installation at Cardiff’s city centre 

homeless hostels, Tresillian House 

and The Huggard – which in 2011 

will be demolished to make way 

for a brand new homeless facility. 

The project provided a means for 

the residents, staff and service 

users to examine and rationalise 

their relationship with the physical 

environment of these buildings 

before they are lost; and to provide 

a lasting testament to their vital 

function in relation to Cardiff’s 

homeless over the last 20 years. 

The book and accompanying CD 

are the results of a summer long 

residency by photographic artist 

Faye Chamberlain; the insightful 

colour images of the buildings’ 

hidden life taken by staff and service 

users, along with the work of sonic 

artist Chris Young, whose haunting 

compositions are constructed entirely 

from recordings within the hostel 

walls, taking us into an ever deeper 

and more emotional encounter with 

these buildings and their residents.

Nelleke Beltjens 

Immense 

texts by Peter Lodermeyer, Jonathon Keats 

Immense is the first publication 

documenting the drawings of 

Dutch artist Nelleke Beltjens. Her 

highly complex works have been 

shown internationally, including 

galleries and art fairs in New York, 

San Francisco, Germany and 

Switzerland. Fragmentation is the 

overriding principle of these works 

and the structure of lines has no 

longer anything to do with a firm 

definiteness. The staccato of the 

short successions of pen marks 

rather has a dynamic, rhythmic 

character. In our perception of 

Beltjens’ works, there is no possible 

perspective anymore that would give 

us the impression of completeness. 

From a certain distance the forms 

seem like intangible, cloud structures. 

Coming closer, they disintegrate into 

an excess of individual information. 

Over the years, the linear texture 

became lighter, airier, reminiscent 

of delicate textile fabrics, clouds, 

floating forms, almost intangible, 

indefinable in terms of their formal 

features.

Minjung Kim 

texts by Jean-Christophe Ammann, 

Martina Cavallarin 

edited by Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, 

London 

‘Minjung Kim’s work is a projection of 

the imaginary and the imagination. It 

is a rogue wave made up of energycharged 

refinement that swells up 

in an unspeakable progression; it is 

a dizzying poem that is at the same 

time solid – a poem that describes 

the universe and the soul. Kim is 

a lyrical and mysterious artist who 

works with the effects of sublimation 

and the tangible results of a work that 

contains experience, sentiment and 

life. There cohabits in the creations of 

the Korean artist the transversality of 

Western art and the boundless magic 

of Eastern transcendence, spirituality 

and laicism, a patience inbred with 

the biological structure inherent to 

her being an artist with intelligence 

at the service of a creation that is 

a total sign. Her reminiscences, 

unknowingly, come from an atavistic 

past, a personal trace made up 

of symbols that retrace, through 

their position, the temporal past by 

bringing it back on the clear track of 

her current individual form.’ (Martina 

Cavallarin)

Cosmo.Sys 

Hedwig Brouckaert 

texts by Peter Lodermeyer, Jan Van Woensel 

edited by Jan Dhaese Gallery 

Cosmo.Sys is the first publication 

documenting the drawings of Belgian 

artist Hedwig Brouckaert. For her 

Magazine series (since 2005), the 

picture material she uses comes 

from all kinds of printed matter 

such as mail order catalogues, 

newspapers, TV guides, fashion 

and lifestyle magazines. The artist 

pores over such magazines in search 

of certain motifs (figures, faces, 

poses, patterns etc.), which she 

then transfers and arranges on the 

sheet. In 2008 Brouckaert began 

expanding her drawings into the 

virtual space of digitalisation – and 

from there, bringing them in turn into 

real space: presented as large-scale 

printouts in the form of wallpapers 

or as foils for windows, they become 

space-specific installations, which 

directly affect the exhibition rooms. 

Brouckaert’s digital drawings show 

a highly interesting combination of 

media, already significant in itself: 

transfer paper, an invention of the 

19th century, which still transports 

an air of the inherent stringency of 

venerable old law firms, meets the 

world of the digital picture, which 

turns all information, once fed into 

the system, into something like ‘freefloating 

signifiers’.

Damien Hirst / Michael 

Joo 

Have You Ever Really Looked 

at the Sun? 

text by John Grey 

artist’s interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist 

Have You Ever Really Looked at 

the Sun? is a unique collaboration 

between British artist Damien Hirst 

and American artist Michael Joo. 

Since gaining international attention 

in 1995, Joo has employed a highly 

personal language in the creation 

of his art to express ideas about 

identity, nature and the body. In 

key works like Improved Rack 

(Elk #18) (2010), a wall-mounted 

sculpture of elk antlers, Joo plays 

on the traditional presentation of 

the hunter’s trophy. In dialogue with 

Joo’s works, Hirst brings together 

numerous signature sculptures 

and paintings: including two major 

vitrine works, The Incredible Journey 

(2008), a zebra suspended in 

formaldehyde in a white painted 

steel tank and The Black Sheep 

with Golden Horns (divided) (2009).

exhibition at Haunch of Venison,

LOUD FLASH 

British Punk on Paper 

texts by Toby Mott, Susanna Greeves, Simon 

Ford, Matthew Worsley 

More than any movement before 

or since, Punk was defined by 

the poster. Excluded from TV and 

daytime radio, struggling to be heard 

in the mainstream press, posters 

provided an effective – and virtually 

free – means for bands to reach the 

public. LOUD FLASH is a unique 

exhibition of posters curated by the 

artist and designer Toby Mott. His 

collection, which also incorporates 

fanzines, flyers and other ephemera, 

delivers a gripping snapshot of the 

Britain of that time, a country rife 

with divisions. As well as iconic 

works by Jamie Reid (for the Sex 

Pistols) and Linder Sterling (for the 

Buzzcocks), the exhibition features 

a wealth of material produced by 

anonymous artists of the era and 

so offers a complete survey of the 

punk aesthetic. It also includes 

political material. The rise of the 

National Front is charted through its 

incendiary propaganda, while the 

posters advertising ‘Rock Against 

Racism’ events show how this was 

opposed and how the designers 

adopted punk as stark graphical 

styles to entice young supporters.

Undone is concerned with sculpture 

that lies somewhere on the threshold 

between the made and unmade. 

This book of the exhibition (at Henry 

Moore Institute, Leeds, September 

2010 – January 2011) brings together 

a large body of recent work by 

international contemporary artists 

and in doing so identifies a shared 

aesthetic that characterises the work 

of this otherwise disparate group of 

artists. These ‘homespun’ sculptures, 

made from readily-available materials 

by artists from Europe, the US and 

Brazil seem to reflect a new age of 

austerity. Focusing on objects and 

structures which are ‘handmade’, 

using traditional and more ad-hoc 

craft techniques, the works featured 

draw on a wide range of materials, 

colours, scales and textures, and 

their structures are as much bound 

together as they are poised to 

disintegrate.

Len Lye 

The Body Electric 

This small publication has been 

produced alongside the first UK 

retrospective exhibition of New 

Zealand artist Len Lye (1901 – 1980). 

Comprising film, sculpture, painting 

and drawing, often influenced by 

indigenous Antipodean traditions, it 

reveals the optimism and emphasis 

on invention central to Lye’s outlook. 

Lye travelled in the South Pacific 

as a young man, living for extended 

periods in Samoa and Australia, 

before sailing for London in 1926. 

There he settled into an artistic 

community that included Henry 

Moore, Barbara Hepworth and 

Christopher Wood. During the 1930s 

Lye’s main interest lay in film-making 

and he was commissioned by the 

visionary film unit of the General 

Post Office to make a number of 

commercials, now seen as seminal 

in the history of moving imagery. 

Lye’s distinct style and experimental 

technique of ‘direct’ film-making saw 

him paint colour directly onto 

celluloid film.

Mediated by Pedro Barateiro and 

Ricardo Valentim, Activity is a 

collaboratively created artists’ book 

authored by multiple individuals. 

The artists engaged in ongoing 

discussions around the issues of 

collaboration, accountability, and 

democracy for over three years. 

The format of an artist’s book was 

chosen as the vehicle for mapping 

their activity. Because the impetus 

for the project was based so much 

in conversations, they decided 

to employ ‘the dialogue’ itself as 

the ‘medium’, transforming this 

project from a mere publication 

into something more. Barateiro 

and Valentim’s withdrawal from 

their position as the book’s authors 

enabled the shared authorship 

of all the participants. Unlike the 

typical artist’s book, which usually 

functions as an extension of an 

individual artist’s practice, Activity 

instead represents a collective artistic 

experience, effectively rethinking the 

artist’s book today.

Greek author Aristide Antonas drew 

his inspiration from Franz Kafka’s 

short story Investigations of a Dog

an exhibition catalogue are published 

simultaneously. Aristide Antonas is 

a Greek architect and writer with 

a PhD in philosophy. In 1986 he 

started publishing his literary texts in 

the Greek magazine Black Museum 

using different pseudonyms. He 

has published the prose writings 

The Episcope, The Three-Headed, 

The Four Gardens, and The Two

Valérie Belin 

Black Eyed Susan 

text by Tobia Bezzola 

edited by Tobia Bezzola, Markus Bosshard, 

Jürg Trösch 

‘I come from painting.’ It is not 

surprising that Valérie Belin should 

describe her work as coming from 

painting, for it would be curious 

indeed to call her a photographer. 

Although she uses a photographer’s 

equipment, her masterful control 

of the technique enables her to 

transcend the imprint of reality and 

preclude reference to the world. 

Belin tells us nothing about the 

circumstances out there; she offers 

no evidence; she advances no 

arguments and makes no comments. 

She takes the world and makes 

pictures out of it. Her latest moves – 

colour and montage – are therefore 

perfectly logical. Thanks to digital 

technology, she can now also impose 

her will on the pictures she creates in 

colour. Never has photography been 

so far removed from naive naturalism 

and normality. Published with Codax

edited by Xavier Douroux 

Through a selection of texts 

(sometimes unpublished) and 

interviews with Christian Boltanski, 

Michelangelo Pistoletto, Paul 

McCarthy, Douglas Gordon, Glenn 

Ligon, and Pipilotti Rist, the author 

proposes several clues to better 

understand and (re)discover the 

artists who have reinvested in the 

notion of modernity at the end 

of the 20th century, and whose 

research enlightens the beginning 

of the 21st. Over five chapters 

which elaborate texts around the 

problematics of images and history, 

the body and language, the object 

and performance, the reader will 

encounter the now famous work of 

artists such as Mike Kelley, John 

Baldessari, and Bruce Nauman, as 

well as the elliptical paths of Guy 

de Cointet or Larry Bell, that the 

standards, dogma, and convention 

of the market have rendered invisible.

du réel and dedicated to

French text 

Guy de Cointet 

text by Marie de Brugerolle 

Guy de Cointet was fascinated 

with language, which he explored 

primarily through performance 

and drawing. His practice involved 

collecting random phrases, words, 

and even single letters from popular 

culture, and literary sources and 

working these elements into nonlinear 

narratives, which were 

presented as plays to his audience. 

Paintings and works on paper would 

then figure prominently within these 

performances. In his play At Sunrise 

. . . A Cry Was Heard (1976), a large 

painting depicting letters bisected 

by a white sash served as a main 

subject and prop, with the lead 

actress continuously referring to 

it and reading its jumble of letters 

as if it were an ordinary script. De 

Cointet is recognized as one of the 

major figures in the Conceptual 

art movement that emerged in Los 

Angeles in the 1970s, having strongly 

influenced a number of prominent 

artists working in southern California 

today, including Paul McCarthy and 

Mike Kelley. This book, published 

with the Estate of Guy de Cointet, is 

the first to offer an overview of this 

enigmatic and influential oeuvre.

texts by Holger Birkholz, Karsten Harries,

Trummer, Octavio Zaya 

edited by Heike Munder, Thomas D. Trummer 

Art has always been the sensorium 

of the all that is fragile, brittle, and 

porous in the human. In this book, 

based on an eponymous exhibition, 

however, human break lines are 

not treated directly in terms of the 

human body, but instead through the 

surrogate of architecture. For at the 

fractures and interfaces of buildings, 

the cracks and fissures of human

The notion in the title, Displaced 

Fractures, is taken from the medical 

world. It describes how bone fracture 

sites reveal themselves elsewhere 

than at the major stress site. The 

publication discusses installations, 

spatial interventions, and sculptures 

working with the displacement 

of symptoms. The exhibition and 

the publication are a collaboration 

between the Migros Museum für 

Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, and 

Siemens Stiftung.

FACE: Investigations 

of a Dog 

Works from Five European 

Art Foundations 

texts by Aristide Antonas, Jonas Hassen 

Khemiri, Rui Cardoso Martins, Emmanuelle 

Pagano, Tiziano Scarpa 


Contemporary Europe) is a European 

interest group for the arts formed 

in 2008 and established by five 

private non-profit art foundations 

in five different countries: DESTE 

Foundation, Athens (Greece); 

Ellipse Foundation, Cascais 

(Portugal); Fondazione Sandretto 

Re Rebaudengo, Turin (Italy); La 

Maison rouge – Fondation Antoine de 

Galbert, Paris (France); and Magasin 

3 Stockholm Konsthall (Sweden). 

Its first initiative is Investigations 

of a Dog, an exhibition that draws 

its title from a short story by Franz 

Kafka (1922) and successively 

presents 40 artworks from the 

partner foundations’ collections. 

To accompany the exhibition, each 

foundation commissioned an author 

to write a short story inspired by 

Kafka’s story and the artworks of 

the exhibition. The stories are also 

available in their original language 

in five separate books as part of 

the Hapax series. Published with 

FACE to accompany the exhibition 

at Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, 

February – May, 2011 and DESTE 

Foundation, Athens, June – October, 

2011.

Fanfare 

texts by Paul Ardenne, Christoph Doswald, 

Bernadette Fülscher, Brigitte Ulmer 

edited by Christoph Doswald 

Can a sculpture be dislocated? 

What is the role of the work’s 

spatial context? What is society’s 

responsibility toward art in public? 

And how great is the loss of identity 

at its removal? These and other 

relevant topics were studied by 

Zurich’s KiöR (Art in Public Space) 

think tank when the square in 

front of the Kunsthaus Zürich was 

redesigned, and the existence of 

the sculpture installed there was 

fundamentally questioned. After 

much debate, the monumental 

concrete oeuvre of the Swiss sculptor 

Robert Müller, Fanfare, was finally 

removed in the summer of 2010 

and re-installed in Langenthal. This 

publication puts the example of the 

dislocation of Fanfare in a broader 

context by highlighting the historical, 

aesthetic, social, and cultural 

conditions of the displacement of 

artworks. Historical examples and 

statements by experts, as well as a 

photographic essay, reflect on the 

relationship between site and art, as 

well as on the changes in the context 

of art production. Published for the 

City of Zurich’s Arbeitsgruppe Kunst 

im öffentlichen Raum (AG KiöR) 

series.

General Idea 

A Retrospective (1969 – 1994) 

texts by Jean-Christophe Ammann, Frédéric 

Bonnet, AA Bronson, Elisabeth Lebovici, 

David Moos 

edited by Frédéric Bonnet 

This volume presents an overview 

of the Canadian collective’s oeuvre. 

Founded in Toronto in 1969 by 

Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal, who both 

died in 1994, and AA Bronson, the 

trio adopted a generic identity that 

‘freed it from the tyranny of individual 

genius’. Their complex intermingling 

of reality and fiction took the form of a 

transgressive and often parodic take 

on art and society. Treating the image 

as a virus infiltrating every aspect 

of the real world, General Idea set 

out to colonize it, modify its content. 

Including newly commissioned 

essays and republished texts, this 

title is illustrated with documents and 

reproductions of the most important 

projects realized by General Idea 

from 1969 to 1994. Published to 

accompany the exhibition at Musée 

d’art moderne, Paris, February – 

April, 2011; Art Gallery of Ontario, 

Toronto, autumn 2011.

Loris Gréaud 

Cellar Door 

text by Pascal Rousseau 

edited by Loris Gréaud 

Cellar Door is a series of projects 

(installations, opera, book, etc.) 

which draws on Loris Gréaud’s 

interweaving interests in art, 

architecture, and music. His modus 

operandi is in fact comparable to that 

of cinematic production (involving 

collaboration and co-authorship), 

and he often works with experts 

from diverse disciplines (including 

architects and scientists). Gréaud’s 

work is orientated to ideas and 

processes rather than finished form, 

and his projects are liable to manifest 

themselves in different ways over 

time, and to move between rumour 

and fact. Cellar Door is an ambitious 

artistic experiment that has a range 

of manifestations. One was Gréaud’s 

exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo; a 

second was an installation at the ICA 

in London; a third is an opera staged 

at the Paris Opera; and a fourth is a 

studio space that Gréaud is building 

for himself on the outskirts of Paris. 

The last one is the current exhibition 

of the artist at Kunsthalle Wien, 

Vienna, April – May 2011.

Wade Guyton 

Paintings 

text by John Kelsey 

edited by Wade Guyton 

For this volume, Wade Guyton first 

had the book designed, and then 

printed it on the same ink-jet printers 

he used for his large-format serial 

prints on canvas. These pages were 

then scanned and printed by offset. 

In a sense, this artist’s book is a work 

on the questions of reproduction, 

original, source, and re-formation at 

the heart of Guyton’s practice. If one 

can say that Guyton’s Minimalistic 

‘paintings’, which connect directly 

to abstraction’s history, conjure 

a re-structuring of Modernist art 

and decor, this book offers a mise 

en abyme of these procedures.

the Swedish author Jonas Hassen 

Khemiri drew his inspiration 

from Franz Kafka’s short story 

Investigations of a Dog (1922) to 

write As you would have told it to

Jakob Kolding 

Shifting Realities 

texts by Lars Bang Larsen, Jacob Proctor 

edited by Jacob Proctor 

This monograph, the first on Jakob 

Kolding’s work since 2004, brings 

together pieces produced during the 

last four years including collages, 

drawings, and posters as well as 

the recent sculptural works. The 

works examine different concepts of 

space. Starting from an early interest 

in modernist planning and the use 

of urban and suburban space, his 

focus developed into a more general 

interest in the complex socioeconomic 

and political conditions 

of city life, extending during the last 

few years to more abstract notions 

of space including mental and 

psychological spaces. Throughout his 

oeuvre it has been crucial for Kolding 

to never consider these different 

spheres as entirely separate, but, 

on the contrary, to see space as 

a process of interrelations. The 

works thus bring together a broad 

variety of subjects such as literature, 

urban planning, football, movies, 

architecture, art, skateboarding, 

comics, computer games, and music, 

and from weaving them together new 

possible spaces and narratives arise. 

The publication is part of the series 

of artists’ projects edited by

Mischa Kuball 

New Pott 

text by Harald Welzer 

edited by Mischa Kuball, Harald Welzer 

One hundred families from 100 

different nations give an account 

of their lives in the Ruhr region 

(Ruhrpott) of Germany, outlining 

their perspectives for a new era. The 

personal experiences and stories 

of these immigrants offer us a new 

perception of the area and its cultural 

and industrial transformations. The 

intimate insights into different lives, 

individual living conditions, and the 

manifold motivations to live in a city 

in this region help draw a new map 

of western Germany, the New Pott, 

which has become a new home 

for millions of people. Düsseldorf 

artist Mischa Kuball interviewed 100 

immigrants from different generations 

over more than a year. The intensity 

of these encounters is reflected 

in the publication’s collection of 

interviews, portraits, and private 

snapshots of the interlocutors. The 

analytical comments by cultural 

scientist Harald Welzer address 

the social and political questions of 

social integration and the future of a 

multinational population in Germany.

Philipp Lachenmann 

Some Scenic Views 

text by Russell Ferguson 

edited by Christoph Keller 

Some Scenic Views – the title 

of Philipp Lachenmann’s first 

monograph – reflects his work’s 

camouflage strategy. Presenting 

80 photographs of unspectacular 

views, the book reveals the process 

of hiding complex meaning behind 

a surface of normalcy. With a series 

of short texts, Russell Fergusson 

brings to the fore those hidden facts 

of historical, political, natural, or 

scientific nature. He thus reveals 

Lachenmann’s photographs for what 

they truly are: conceptual artworks. 

This book inscribes itself in the 

German artist’s body of works as a 

kind of picture novel rather than a 

monograph. The publication is part 

of the series of artists’ projects edited

Sean Landers 

1990 – 1995, Improbable 

History 

edited by Paul Ha 

Since the early 1990s, Sean 

Landers’ work has been one of the 

most fascinating and repeatedly 

irritating projects in contemporary 

art. The polar opposites of tormented 

self-doubt and endless selfaggrandizement 

run like a thread 

through the artist’s practice along 

with a number of masks of failure 

used by the subject as a strategy 

to preserve himself from impending 

loser status. With text and video 

works that appear disguised as 

conceptual art, he introduces into 

this genre the taboo of the artist 

as subject, as well as the artist’s 

emotions. He has become known 

as the artist who presents himself 

as a failure in his art, his life and his 

relationships. This comprehensive 

monograph includes almost all of 

Landers’ early oeuvre, from 1990 

to 1995. Published here for the first 

time, it offers an overview on the 

text and cartoon works on paper, 

the first paintings and sculptures, as 

well as the video and audio works of 

his beginnings. Published with the 

Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.

Rita McBride 

Westways 

text by Matthew Licht 

edited by Rita McBride 

Rita McBride is a prominent 

American artist based in Düsseldorf, 

whose sculptures and installations 

deal with fiction and public space and 

often provide a set for performances 

and lectures. She has edited a series 

of books for which she invited other 

artists and writers to write short 

stories involving constraints and a 

relationship to the art world. Each 

of the books corresponds to a sub 

literary genre (crime novels, Sci-Fi, 

soft-eroticism, etc). Westways is 

the fifth in Rita McBride’s continuing 

‘Ways’ series of collaborative novels, 

this time with writer and climber 

Matthew Licht. We follow Mae West 

from her childhood in 19th century 

Brooklyn through her adventures with 

W.C. Fields at the 1931 Oktoberfest 

to a Sapphic encounter with Leni 

Riefenstahl on safari in the 1970s, 

picking up a fighter pilot, Salvador 

Dalí, and Billy Wilder for the ride. 

Published to coincide with the 

completion of McBride’s 52-metrehigh 

Mae West public commission at 

Munich’s Effnerplatz. The publication

T-Shirt Paintings 

text by Jeanne Greenberg

American artist Richard Prince 

recycles found materials from 

American popular culture, most often 

images from advertisement and 

magazine photography which he rephotographs, 

silkscreens, overpaints, 

frames, enlarges, or arranges 

in collages, playing with their 

somehow empty meaning. Citation, 

détournement, appropriation: any 

possible treatment of these clichés is 

explored and played with. Conceived 

by the artist, this book gathers 

unpublished images and well-known 

works using T-Shirts as a medium. 

Brilliantly laid-out and composed, 

the book is full of wit, humor, and 

surprising encounters. Published on

Huit textes: Vingt-trois 

entretiens 1965 – 2009 

text by Ed Ruscha 

edited by Jean-Pierre Criqui 

Since the mid-1960s, Ed Ruscha 

has developed an iconic body of 

works, simultaneously as a painter, 

a photographer (with such historic 

books as Twenty-Six Gasoline 

Stations, 1963), a film-maker, and 

an acute commentator of American 

culture. Born in 1937 and based in 

Los Angeles, he is a key figure of the 

last few decades and one of the first 

artists to have introduced a critique of 

popular culture and an examination 

of language into the visual arts. This 

anthology of writings and interviews, 

edited by Jean-Pierre Criqui (editorin-chief 

of the Cahiers du Musée d’art 

moderne), offers a first opportunity to 

French readers to discover Ruscha’s 

comments on his own work, his 

beginnings, his evolution, the artistic 

developments of the period, and the 

relationship between art and society. 

Gathering together texts from 1974 to 

2009, this book is a unique occasion 

to approach Ruscha’s work and life 

from the inside. Published with Les

Lost Once More combines five short 

stories with cars, caravans, and 

other vehicles as supporting actors – 

stories dealing with motion, weekend 

forays, pilgrimage, and time travel. 

Five sculptures by Hinrich Sachs – 

replicated models of found vehicles – 

were the starting point for the stories 

commissioned by the artist from the 

authors Ruth Buchanan, Mark von 

Schlegell, Birgit Kempker, Burkhard 

Strassmann, and Hans-Christian 

Dany for this publication. Hinrich 

Sachs’ work reflects the global as 

well as the regional conditions of 

the production of meaning. A central 

artistic principle of his oeuvre is the 

investigation of the incidental in 

the relation between object, space, 

graphic quality, and context.

Sgrafo vs. Fat Lava 

texts by Ronan Bouroullec, Horst Makus, 

Nicolas Trembley 

edited by Nicolas Trembley 

Whether it is a question of Sgrafo 

vases, of Raymond Loewy‘s Form 

2000 for Rosenthal (1954), or of the 

improbable Fat Lava glacis of the 

1970s, postwar German ceramics 

attest to a surprising stylistic 

inventiveness and diversity. Through 

these creations, both well-known and 

anonymous designers knew how to 

capture the impulses of a society 

in the middle of reconstruction and 

desirous of looking to the future. 

Mixing references to Op art, the 

geometry of a Verner Panton, 

or the vegetal style of the hippie 

wave, these objects follow a path 

of exaggerated shape unique in the 

history of forms. It is the crossing 

of intentions and this body of 

supposedly ordinary objects that this 

publication explores, with a text by 

the specialist Horst Markus, and an 

interview with the designer Ronan 

Bouroullec. Published with the 

support of Galerie Andrea Caratsch,

My Mirage 

text by Fabrice Stroun 

edited by Lionel Bovier, Fabrice Stroun 

My Mirage (1986 – 1991) is the first 

major body of work by Jim Shaw, 

an artist from Los Angeles who 

started exhibiting in the late 1970s. 

Composed of nearly 170 pieces 

– each one drawn, silk-screened, 

photographed, sculpted, filmed or 

painted in a different style – My 

Mirage recounts the wandering of 

Billy, a white, middle-class American 

sucked into the whirlwind of the 

sixties and seventies, and provides 

a social and cultural image of an 

individual in this era. Created in close 

collaboration with Jim Shaw, the book 

presents itself as the culmination of 

the artist’s original project. My Mirage 

– The Book will allow Jim Shaw’s 

ever-growing audience to look at the 

whole of Billy’s story for the first time. 

Furthermore, its format and content 

should appeal to a wide readership, 

beyond contemporary art, including 

anyone interested in the history of 

the counter-culture of the 1960s and 

1970s, American graphic design and 

popular illustration.

career and provides a fascinating 

read that will enlighten both 

professionals and those less well 

versed in architecture appreciation. 

When the Palazzo Botta opened 

in Lugano in November 1988, it 

was greeted with enthusiasm by 

the Swiss and international media 

alike. To this day, it still counts as 

a rare icon of contemporary bank 

architecture. The book is published 

by BSI (Banca della Svizzera 

Italiana), as part of the BSI Art 

Collection series.

Tris Vonna-Michell 

text by Tris Vonna-Michell 

edited by Eva Birkenstock, Rahel Blättler, 

Hannes Loichinger, Beatrix Ruf 

The British artist Tris Vonna-Michell 

is a memory traveller who runs 

through the past and present. In his 

works, images, sound, light, and 

the most ordinary objects become 

the material of a totally individual 

experience where reality and fiction 

merge, and journey, memories, 

and invention coexist. The stories 

and the visual material assembled 

in this book originated and began 

their evolution in 2003. Since 2008, 

they have been gradually modified 

and further expanded in a series of 

projects. Taking these projects as 

a starting point, Tris Vonna-Michell 

conceived this artist’s book as a 

further elaboration of his artistic 

practice, interweaving multiple 

narrative threads. Behind an identical 

cover, the seemingly ‘same’ is 

presented in variations that were 

developed through performative 

improvisations over the first version 

of the text, initially the placing of 

the images and positioning of the 

inserts. Published with Fondazione

100+ Drawings by 

Mel Ramos 

text by Klaus Schröder 

edited by Thomas Levy 

Women, pleasure, sex and 

entertainment – Mel Ramos’ images 

present the viewer with a dazzling, 

provocative, alluring and sometimes 

raunchy visual language. The artist 

drapes his pin-up girls over painted 

commercial products in risqué, 

dynamic poses. Ramos became 

famous for these commercial pinups, 

as they are known, at the 

end of the 1960s and has since 

evolved into one of the art world’s 

most challenging contemporary 

artists. This catalogue is the first 

of its kind to focus exclusively on 

Mel Ramos’ drawings. It includes 

the artist’s sketches and drawings 

from the 1960s to the present day, 

demonstrating his inimitable style, 

which addresses everyday myths and 

the synthetic dreams of the media 

and the advertising world.

Bruno Aveillan 

MNEMO # LUX 

texts by Zoé Balthus, Jan Ole Eggert 

edited by Bruno Aveillan 

Bruno Aveillan can visually secure 

scarcely audible notes of everyday 

life with the utmost sensitivity and 

certainty. He constantly celebrates 

the elevation of a motif from 

everyday life to the fine line between 

figurative representation and 

abstraction, form and deconstruction, 

existence and transience, art and life. 

MNEMO # LUX reveals Aveillan’s 

departure from a realistic mode of 

representation in favour of a form of 

expression that is impressionistic, 

fragmentary and poetic: it changes 

the familiar to the point of abstraction 

and at the same time is a mental 

panorama which inspires the viewer’s 

powers of imagination and opens up 

the possibility of making the moment 

his or her own. With his intuitive 

travel diary of the senses, Aveillan 

takes the viewer with him on a very 

personal, intimate and mysterious 

journey around the globe. Published

The Cologne artist Mary 

Bauermeister made her mark on the 

New York art market in the middle 

of the 1960s. Her ‘lens boxes’ – 

wooden boxes, open at the front, 

containing several visual layers 

made of glass, with lenses and 

prisms arranged on top – fascinated 

curators and collectors. Every major 

New York museum purchased 

her work. For the first time, in this 

catalogue, Bauermeister’s poetic, 

enigmatic and intriguing works are 

presented against the background 

of the experimental art of the 1960s, 

illustrating formal and content-related 

connections to contemporary groups 

like ZERO, Fluxus and Nouveau 

Réalisme. Published on the occasion

edited by Kai Uwe Schierz, Kunsthalle Erfurt 

Modern-day technology offers a wide 

range of opportunities for reproducing 

or transforming images, including the 

computer-aided creation of images in 

virtual spaces. If traditional painting 

techniques have been developed, 

refined and modified over centuries, 

the rapidly developing world of 

image-generating technologies that 

we live with today gives us new 

insights into the ways images can 

be created. This applies also to one 

specific aspect of the artistic image: 

‘painterliness’. Long a domain only 

of painting and drawing, there are 

now a number of different ways of 

engaging artistically with the painterly 

aspect of a work. The artists and 

works in this catalogue embody 

and illustrate, from a variety of 

perspectives, the painterly aspects in 

current art, some of which have been 

completely transformed.

William Lamson 

ON EARTH 

text and an artist’s interview by Silke Opitz 

edited by Silke Opitz 

William Lamson’s photographs 

and videos contain powerful visual 

imagery. These aesthetic-painterly 

compositions are equally linked to 

Artist cinema and always present the 

results of actions, performances and 

installations carried out by the artists, 

which take place in the rural/urban 

space or in the studio/exhibition 

space. The duality of nature and 

culture and aspects like time, 

space and the localisation of the 

individual in the ‘big picture’ all create 

the broad contextual framework. 

Equally Lamson refers to the now 

‘classical’ Concept Art and Land Art 

of the 1960s/1970s. This catalogue 

is published on the occasion of 

the exhibition William Lamson 

at Kunsthalle Erfurt, November 

2010 – January 2011, and presents 

his works and the artist’s creative 

process in breathtaking videos 

and images.

Klara Liden 

Klara Liden’s works defy 

classification: performance, 

installation, sound and video blend 

into multimedia installations. The 

artist occupies public spaces or 

makes the private public in an almost 

painful way, breaks with social 

conventions and aesthetic ways of 

seeing. The publication for the 2010 

blauorange Art Prize illustrates, 

among other things, a range of black 

and white slide projections showing 

simple actions in blurred, slowed 

frame sequences. The work is a 

poignant and humorous revelation 

of the relationship between public 

and private space and between 

the general rules of conduct and 

personal freedom. Published on the 

occasion of the blauorange Art Prize 

2010 of the Deutschen Volksbanken

How does fashion change our 

view of the world? How does 

photography change our view of 

fashion? In the 1990s, the fashion 

scene fundamentally reinvented 

itself, mainly through the medium 

of photography. The lifestyle of that 

decade’s 20- and 30-somethings 

was shaped by music, subculture, 

intimacy and fashion. The numerous 

photographs, campaigns and key 

picture series from magazines of 

that decade featured in this multilayered 

publication shows how 

radical and innovative this generation 

was and how it remains influential 

in fashion, photography and art to 

this day. Published on the occasion

in the 19th century. The human 

image has undergone permanent 

change. The project, A century of 

photographs, takes us on a trip 

through time: from photography’s 

beginnings with the daguerreotype 

and the talbotype to the digital 

present and the issue of the end of 

the classic portrait. A selection of 

works from 40 international artists is

today, are being re-interpreted within

Absalon 

texts by Absalon, Bernard Marcadé, Nina 

Möntmann, Moshe Ninio, Beate Söntgen, 

Philip Ursprung, Hortensia Völckers 

foreword by Hortensia Völckers 

edited by Susanne Pfeffer 

The Israeli artist Absalon was 

fascinated by spaces, which 

he reworked in systematic and 

successive ways with questions 

around essential human activities 

and basic geometric forms (the 

rectangular, the square, the 

triangle and the circle) being his 

points of departure. It was in 1987 

that he started to empty out the 

spaces he found before eventually 

restructuring and refilling them 

with the help of simple forms. 

These test assemblies – further 

developed later on by means of 

objects, drawings, photographs and 

films – came full circle in Absalon’s 

Cellules: individualized, ascetic and 

contemplative living units. This new 

publication on the occasion of the 

extensive retrospective at the KW 

Institute of Contemporary Art qualifies 

both as a catalogue raisonné and a 

monograph. The catalogue is the first 

ever to offer illustrations and theory 

covering Absalon’s entire oeuvre.

Bernadette 

Corporation 

The Complete Poem 

texts and edited by Bernadette Corporation 

The idea of the book is to present 

these two elements – poem and 

fashion shoot – in a single package, 

as one complex object. This 

combination of original literature and 

commissioned fashion photography 

undermines the traditional autonomy 

of literary and visual genres. The 

book itself is a conceptual gesture: 

the display of a mediation, or the 

presentation of a redistribution. 

Bernadette Corporation was formed 

in a Manhattan nightclub in 1994, and 

began organizing DIY social events 

that evolved into unauthorized art 

carnivals in SoHo parking lots. From 

1995 to 1997, the group worked 

under the guise of an underground 

fashion label. In 1999 it selfpublished 

a magazine, Made in USA, 

and began producing videos.

Monica Bonvicini 

Both Ends 

texts by Rein Wolfs, Ursula Maria Probst, 

Vanessa Joan Müller 

‘I decided to try art because it was 

the only way to be a worker and 

an intellectual at the same time.’ 

(Monica Bonvicini) 

In her art, Monica Bonvicini raises 

issues regarding gender and 

power relationships in all kinds of 

contexts. At the centre of her work 

are architecture and public spaces, 

the world of labour, sexuality, as 

well as politics and representation, 

whose close connections she 

reveals. Conceptual pieces as well 

as sculptural works and spatial 

installations are presented in this 

monograph. Monica Bonvicini’s 

diversity of form and continuity of 

content becomes clear through 

this overview. Her oeuvre reflects 

a firm political stance, which, 

however, never stops at the mere 

communication of her position by 

artistic means. Instead, Bonvicini 

continuously seeks confrontation 

at an artistic level: through breaks 

with routine of representation and 

traditional viewing habits. Published 

alongside the exhibition at Kunsthalle 

Fridericianum, Kassel, August – 

November 2010.

The Scripted Life 

texts by Beatrice von Bismarck, Colin

edited by Yilmaz Dziewior, Kunsthaus Bregenz 

Identity formation and media life – 

two dominant and recurring themes 

in the work of Candice Breitz – form 

the leitmotif of the artist’s solo 

exhibition The Scripted Life at the 

Kunsthaus Bregenz (February – April 

2010), where major existing works 

were shown alongside more recent 

installations. Throughout her early 

work in photography and collage, 

and continuing to her sophisticated 

video installations, the Berlin-based 

South African artist has consistently 

examined and dissected mass 

media and popular culture, role 

play and gender construction, 

language and fragmentation, 

reforming and appropriating them 

to shape her artistic vocabulary. 

Essays by Beatrice von Bismarck, 

Colin Richards and Okwui Enwezor 

address various aspects of Breitz’ 

oeuvre to form the scholarly 

backbone of this catalogue raisonné 

of the artist’s film and video works. 

Each work is introduced individually 

with a text by Edgar Schmitz, making 

this catalogue together with a 

carefully compiled appendix the most 

comprehensive publication on the 

work of Candice Breitz yet.

Lebendversuch 

texts by Karin Pernegger, Daniel J. Schreiber, 

Hans-Peter Wipplinger 

edited by Daniel J. Schreiber, 

Hans Peter Wipplinger 

To conduct an ‘Experiment in Vivo’ 

(Lebendversuch), is to consider 

something under real-life conditions. 

The title refers to a core notion in 

Jonas Burgert’s work. The painter’s 

visual narratives appear strange 

and enigmatic, but their emotional 

subtext is conveyed to the viewer 

directly. Burgert is able to condense 

the marks of painting, often on very 

large canvases, to human figures 

of great urgency that are physically 

experienced. Peculiar characters 

such as warriors, beggars, shamans 

or harlequins inhabit his stage-like 

pictorial spaces. Occasionally visitors 

in everyday dress have sneaked 

in, struggling to understand what is 

going on. Huge existential questions 

on the meaning of suffering, death, 

life, love, violence, and power are 

touched on, but find no answer or 

appeasement. The visual narrative 

is ultimately based on precise and 

detailed composition, executed with 

great craftsmanship.

Nina Canell 

To Let Stay Projecting as a 

Bit of Branch on a Log by Not 

Chopping It Off 

texts by Dieter Roelstrate, Karl Lydén 

The work of Swedish artist Nina 

Canell connects things found 

in nature with the most varied 

of everyday objects, materials 

and appliances: electrical waste, 

cables and fluorescent lights fuse 

in a sculptural, temporary, almost 

performative manner with natural 

materials such as water, wood, and 

stones. The results are visual and 

audial ‘experimental arrangements’, 

the processes of change making 

them poetic metaphors for life. This 

publication is an artists’ book that, 

like previous projects Arpeggio Book 

and Evaporation Essays, has been 

designed by Nina Canell herself in 

collaboration with fellow artist 

Robin Watkins.

Nigel Cooke 

text by Michael Bracewell 

edited by Stuart Shave / Modern Art 

Nigel Cooke’s paintings construct 

a dark and melancholic world; a 

deeply psychologised landscape 

filled with an atmosphere that 

articulates the trauma of creative 

dereliction. At its core, Cooke’s 

work is an allegorical conception of 

creativity and production, played out 

in a world populated by artists and 

philosophers. This is a place haunted 

by vagrant and degenerate martyrs 

who have caved in to a parody 

of existentialism and committed 

themselves to experience over 

abstractions of thought. These 

characters abandon reason, willfully 

and foolishly throwing themselves 

headlong into the unseen and 

unknown. Included is a conversation 

between Nigel Cooke and 

Martin Herbert.

edited by Ziba Ardalan, Parasol unit / Koenig 

Books, London 

Nathan Cash Davidson makes 

paintings featuring such diverse 

figures as King Henry VIII, Mr. 

Punch, George Bush and Ali G. 

Historical and popular cultural 

characters and the artist’s own family 

members meet animated gargoyles 

and mournful mythological creatures 

in otherworldly forests, cathedrals, 

desert islands and council estates; 

boldly rendered in vital, swirling jewel 

colours. Burlesque in which we’ve 

thrown it on its head is an encounter 

with Cash Davidson’s prodigious 

talent for figuration and architectural 

detail, and his wry and irreverent wit. 

These accomplished and confident 

works evoke a rich interior landscape 

whilst also offering an often bleak 

and discomfiting perspective of the 

contemporary metropolis. Published 

on the occasion of the exhibition at 

Parasol unit, London, December 

2010 – February 2011.

Marcel van Eeden 

Schritte ins Reich der Kunst 

texts by Katja Blomberg, Konrad Bitterli 

Since the mid 1990s, the Dutch 

artist Marcel van Eeden has tackled 

the idea of non-being. He connects 

this thought with memories of 

times before he was born. In the 

medium of drawing he explores a 

world which, for him, represents a 

terrain he has not experienced but 

which is nevertheless a safe place. 

Van Eeden brings to life a world 

beyond his existence on the basis 

of print media published exclusively 

before the year 1965. He examines 

the phenomenon of chronological 

reversal. His works interweave real 

biographies of celebrities with fiction, 

while not always relating image and 

text to one another and in doing so, 

they establish several narrative levels 

which occasionally incur an absurd 

tension. On the basis of antiquarian 

books, magazines, catalogues and 

newspapers, the artist reworks a time 

which has taken place without him

Every Artist is a 

Human Being / Jeder 

Künstler ist ein 

Mensch 

texts by Daniele Gregori, Doris Krystof, 

Veit Loers, David Riedel 

edited and foreword by Karola Kraus 

This volume shows that the selfportrait 

lost none of its topicality in 

the second half of the 20th century. 

The steadily growing importance 

of photography and film has not 

threatened the existence of this 

genre, rather it has widened the 

range of media in which artistic 

self-reflection is now carried out. 

Beginning with the work of Andy 

Warhol, Bruce Nauman and Joseph 

Beuys, conceptual and abstract 

ideas, and also forms of self-portrait 

that consciously adhere to the 

traditional medium of painting, are 

introduced and positioned within a 

larger art historical context in four 

essays. The selected positions 

demonstrate to what extent 

critical questions of authorship, 

the individual, gender and genius 

are discussed and simultaneously 

how the self-consciousness, pride, 

weakness, vulnerability and 

failure of the artist is handled in 

ever-new forms.

Exhibiting the New Art 

‘Op Losse Schroeven’ and 

‘When Attitudes Become Form’ 

1969 

texts by Christian Rattemeyer, Wim Beeren, 

Charles Harrison, Harald Szeemann, Tommaso 

Trini, Claudia Di Lecce, Steven ten Thije, 

Teresa Gleadowe 

edited by Afterall Books in association with 

the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Van 

Abbemuseum, Eindhoven 

The ‘new art’ of the late 1960s was 

shown in two landmark exhibitions 

in 1969: Op Losse Schroeven and 

When Attitudes Become Form. This 

book reveals how each brought 

together Arte Povera, Anti-Form, 

Conceptual and Land art, whilst 

challenging such categories and 

introducing innovative curatorial 

approaches. Christian Rattemeyer 

offers a rich comparative analysis 

of the two exhibitions, exploring the 

related but differing approaches 

of the two curators – Wim Beeren 

and Harald Szeemann – in two 

distinct institutional settings: the 

Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam 

and the Kunsthalle Bern. Numerous 

installation photographs enable 

a virtual ‘walk through’ of each 

exhibition, while meticulous 

chronologies detail the negotiations 

that shaped them. Crucial texts from 

the time are complemented by new 

research and fascinating recent 

interviews with participating artists. 

Included are interviews with Marinus 

Boezem, Jan Dibbets, Ger van Elk, 

Piero Gilardi and Richard Serra.

Angelika Nollert, Sabeth Buchmann, Yilmaz 

Dziewior, Elke Krasny, Hanne Loreck, Maren 

Lübbke-Tidow, Letizia Ragaglia, Brigitte 

Reutner, Johanna Schwanberg, Berta Sichel 

In over four decades of artistic 

practice, VALIE EXPORT, one of the 

most important avant-garde video 

artists, has realised a large oeuvre 

including performance, photography, 

film, and media installations. Now, 

after numerous catalogues and 

academic examinations, comes this 

classic monograph, which is sure 

to be the standard work for several 

years to come. This publication 

presents EXPORT’s newer and 

newest works, complemented by a 

concentrated selection of earlier work 

to enable a comprehensive analysis 

of the artist’s oeuvre. Through her 

work, EXPORT searches for identity, 

for the relationship between body 

and psyche, the threat to humankind 

and its character and not least for the 

process of seeing itself. Rigorous and 

engaged, the artist tackles existential 

questions on social and political 

themes. EXPORT is both celebrated 

and vehemently criticised, particularly 

for her feminist orientation and her 

tireless struggle for equal rights and 

the gender-neutral evaluation of 

media themes.

Rainer Fetting 

Manscapes 

texts by Thomas Wagner, Travis Jeppesen, 

Daniel J. Schreiber 

edited by Daniel J. Schreiber 

In addition to sensual appetency, 

Rainer Fetting’s paintings of 

men testify to a high degree of 

compositional reflection. The works, 

produced between 1974 and 2010, 

encompass different facets of male 

eroticism and identity: the classic 

nude, the bathing boy, or the man 

in drag. With essays by Travis 

Jeppesen and Thomas Wagner 

as well as 65 colour illustrations, 

this volume pays tribute not only to 

the subject of male images, but to 

Fetting’s extensive oeuvre. Published 

to accompany the exhibition at 

Kunsthalle Tübingen, October – 

December 2010.

Figura Cuncta 

Videntis: The All- 

Seeing Eye 

Homage to Christoph 

Schlingensief 

edited by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art 

Contemporary, Wien 

Figura cuncta videntis presents 

a selection of 11 performative 

installations, documentations of 

past projects, and video-based 

installations that are informed by 

the aesthetics of the performative, 

as well as some new commissions 

created or re-created for this 

show. The exhibition seeks to 

underline the processual, durational, 

ephemeral, and dynamic nature 

of aesthetic production as well as 

the transformative quality (in the 

process of rapid development from 

articulation to de-articulation) of the 

residual or aesthetic production that 

possesses a performative disposition. 

As its centerpiece, the exhibition 

showcases Animatograph (Iceland 

Edition) by Christoph Schlingensief, 

the German film-maker, artist, and 

theatre director who died in August 

2010. The Animatograph is a manyfaceted 

installation that refigures the 

gaze as the all-seeing eye, providing 

both a metaphor for a universal urnarration 

and an apparatus for its 

navigation. Published alongside an 

exhibition at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art 

Contemporary, Vienna, November 

2010 – April 2011.

Horizon Field 

texts by Eckhard Schneider, Martin Seel, 

Beat Wyss 

edited by Kunsthaus Bregenz 

Horizon Field is made up of 100 lifesize, 

solid cast-iron figures of the 

human body, spread over an area 

of 150 square kilometres in Austria. 

The figures represent a place where 

a person once was or could be. 

Horizon Field sets up a relationship 

between the palpable, the 

perceivable and the imaginable and 

questions where the human project 

fits within the evolution of life on this 

planet and addresses the cultural, 

natural, and historical background of 

a landscape. The work will be subject 

to the forces of nature, various 

lighting conditions and the changing 

seasons, continuously enabling 

new perceptions and impressions. 

Lavishly presented photography 

of the landscape installation and a 

documentation of its planning are 

accompanied by essays on the work.

At the end of the 1960s in the USA a

shadows of Abstract Expressionism 

and turned towards the tradition of 

painterly realism. These painters 

often used the photographic image 

as a verbatim model but could 

‘correct’ the photographs as Chuck 

Close did in his portraits by placing 

different photos next to each other 

in order to give each segment of 

the picture its own focal point and,

Derek Jarman 

Super 8 

texts by Julia Stoschek, Jon Savage, Simon 

Field, Philipp Fürnkäs, Michael O’Pray 

edited by Julia Stoschek Foundation 

The British painter, film-maker, set 

designer and author Derek Jarman 

is well-known to a wide audience, 

particularly as the director of 

distinctive films and music videos. 

Less widely known, yet a decisive 

part of his oeuvre, are the Super 

8 films that Jarman made in the 

1970s and 80s. Recorded from the 

subjective-personal perspective of 

his handheld camera, the staged 

compositions convey Jarman’s 

artistic position, in which life and art 

constantly, and naturally, connect 

with one another. The stills from 

Derek Jarman’s Super 8 films are 

published here as a series for the 

first time. ‘I believe that we need a 

cinema that includes more of what 

is called ‘self indulgent’ and less of 

theory. We would have a much more 

vibrant cinema if people actually 

explored who they were.’

Barbara Kruger 

Circus 

texts by Max Hollein, Anette Urban 

edited by Ingrid Pfeiffer, Max Hollein 

‘I work with pictures and words 

because they have the ability to 

determine who we are and who we 

aren’t,’ says the American conceptual 

artist Barbara Kruger, who made a 

name for herself internationally in 

the 1980s. Frequently conceived 

for public space, her works are 

comments on the individual and 

society, on war and culture, but also 

on advertising and commercialism. 

The use of large, ostentatious 

lettering turns characters into images, 

makes language and meaning 

perceivable in a spatial manner. 

Kruger once called those places 

that are covered all over with writing 

‘walk-in spaces of thinking.’ In her 

installation Circus developed for the 

Rotunda of the Schirn in 2010, black 

and white words and sentences 

cover all its walls, its floor, and its 

ceiling, creating an overwhelming 

impression for the viewer. Published 

on the occasion of an exhibition 

at Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, 

December 2010 – January 2011.

Klara Liden’s subversive responses 

to our social spaces and conventions 

raise the question of how we might

space, and recall a long history of 

performative and conceptual work. 

Through a simultaneous process 

of building and un-building, recycling 

and improvising, Liden’s 

psychologically laden films, actions 

and structures reveal the hidden 

aggression and potential rebellion 

that rests under the surface of our 

cities. Published to accompany

Michaela Meise 

Ding und Körper 

texts by Anja Casser, Manfred Hermes, 

Annette Maechtel 

edited by Anja Casser 

Michaela Meise works with 

the formats of video, drawing, 

performance and sculpture. She 

examines the principles of sculptural 

and architectural ordering, both from 

the perspective of their creative 

execution as well as in relation to 

their political and social context. This 

publication focuses on two groups of 

work: while one of them is concerned 

with the inanimate object, the other 

is dedicated to the human body. 

Meise’s sculptures are components 

of an everyday world of objects, 

which she sees as a storehouse 

of cultural and social information. 

Through her sketch-like execution, 

the marks of their rendering often 

left, the objects seem like rough, 

incomplete memories.

afterword by Brigitte Oetker 


While wandering through a museum 

of old masters, one stops time 

and again and observes: ‘This is 

Rembrandt, that’s a Rubens, a 

Vermeer perhaps?’ The work, always 

identified by the name of the artist, 

is put in direct connection with them 

and seems to be perceived as a 

part of the artist themselves. This 

relationship between an artist and 

their work is possibly one of the most 

difficult, existential, but also fantastic 

issues which an artist must tackle 

every day: ‘my work and me’. More 

than 30 artists have been invited 

to address this question and their 

answers have included contributions 

from all genres of art. The diversity 

of this work reflects various current 

positions, giving rise to an exciting 

and highly unusual book – a crosssection 

of young art.

The Serpentine Gallery, London,

rose to prominence in the 1990s, 

earning critical acclaim for his work, 

which employs a diversity of media 

including film, sculpture, performance 

and text. The exhibition at the 

Serpentine Gallery was conceived 

as a scripted space in which a series 

of events unfolded. The visitor was 

guided through the galleries by the 

orchestration of sound and image, 

which heightened their sensory 

experience. Published to accompany 

Parreno’s exhibition, this catalogue 

functions as a retrospective study

A.R. Penck 

Filzarbeiten und Zeichnungen 

1972 – 1995 

text by Èric Darragon 

With 16 felt sculptures from between 

1972 and 1995, this publication 

introduces a largely unknown part 

of A.R. Penck’s sculptural work. 

Complimented by around 30 

drawings (1986 – 1995) and four 

paintings (Standard-Pre-Standard I 

– IV, 1995), the volume impressively 

documents a little known aspect of 

the artist’s work. The term ‘Standart’ 

was established by the artist himself, 

‘in order to attain a new description 

for operations with visual information’ 

(A.R. Penck: Was ist Standart, 

1970). Penck thus gathered his 

abstract drawing elements together 

under one label. The colourful 

felt sculptures are intended to be 

science-fiction machines. Their 

technologically suggestive titles, such 

as Transformer, Navigator, Replikator 

or Eliminator are a stark contrast to 

their rounded forms and the softness 

of the felt. The book contains 

numerous full-page and double-sided 

plates, including many installation 

photographs from the Museum 

Ludwig Köln exhibition.

who concern themselves today with 

the presentation and theorisation of 

contemporary art. At its heart lies 

the single question, ‘Where does the 

curatorial profession reside?’ Raising 

Frankenstein was developed from the

the Banff International Curatorial 

Institute in collaboration with Teresa 

Gleadowe, and held at The Banff

Denys Riout 

Yves Klein: Expressing 

the Immaterial 

edited by Grégoire Robinne, Marie-Clémentine 

Pierre, Editions Dilecta, Paris 

In April 1958, Yves Klein presented 

an exhibition in which no painting, 

no sculpture, no object was visible. 

Thanks to this ‘immaterialization of 

the painting’ he hoped to ‘create an 

ambience, a pictorial climate that 

is invisible but present’, capable 

of expressing the essence of 

painting: the ‘immaterial pictorial 

sensibility’. Klein also thought of 

using the bodies of young women 

as ‘living paintbrushes’. Leaving 

the impression of their bodies on 

supports provided for that purpose, 

they produced visible paintings, 

the Anthropometries. These two 

modes of existence of his oeuvre 

are based on the heart of religion, 

the Incarnation. That is the intuition 

developed in this book by art 

historian Denys Riout, which locates, 

beyond the disparity of the creations, 

the profound unity of the artist’s 

preoccupations.

Eva Rothschild 

text by Michael Archer 

conversation between Eva Rothschild and 

Laura Hoptman 

edited by Stuart Shave / Modern Art 

Over the past decade Eva Rothschild 

has earned a reputation as one 

of Britain’s leading sculptors. Her 

compelling sculptures invoke a 

complex relationship between 

abstract form, and the conceit that 

an object can bear a dimension 

beyond its mere empirical properties. 

Her work references and rephrases 

the vocabularies of progressive 

art movements of the 1960s 

and 1970s, such as Minimalism, 

while also suggesting aspects of 

both conventional and alternative 

spirituality and faith. There is a sense 

that her recurrent materials, metal, 

wood, ceramic, leather and Perspex, 

become imbued in her sculptures 

with an apparent ability to transcend 

their innate physical limitations. 

Rothschild’s work examines how we 

perceive objects, and the layers of 

meaning that we invest into them.

The Last Thing You See 

text by Tom McGrath 

edited by Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin 

Since the day Dana Schutz 

received her first oil paints at age 

15, the exuberant imagination 

of the New York artist has been 

limitless. Her oeuvre is abundant in 

whimsical themes and unique visual 

inventions, which demonstrate her 

abysmal humour. Again and again 

she questions painting’s ability to 

represent the impossible. The Last 

Thing You See gives an overview 

about Dana Schutz’s recent new 

paintings that can be divided into 

two groups: in Tourette Paintings 

with shocking motifs in a seemingly 

joyously-naïvely pictorial approach 

(for instance a girl peeling her eyes) 

and in illustrations of the last thing 

you see before you die. Published

The Division of the Earth 

texts by Lotte Arndt, Clemens Krümmel, 

Dierk Schmidt, Hemma Schmutz, 

Diethelm Stoller, Ulf Wuggenig 

In 1884 – 85, the European powers 

and the USA met in Berlin to prepare 

the division of the entire African 

continent through an ‘international’ 

act of law. The series of pictures 

by Dierk Schmidt that was shown 

at Documenta XII serves as a 

starting point in exploring the urgent 

question: Is it possible to respond 

to the brutality, with which colonial 

borders were forced upon existing 

societies, with a representation that 

makes legal abstractions tangible 

as a historic product of political and 

aesthetic modernism in Europe? 

The Division of the Earth is based 

on years of research and tackles, 

both visually and textually, the 

aesthetic-political, art historical 

and current legal facets of the 

growing international, post-colonial 

discussion.

the Greek mosaic designer Sosos of 

Pergamon (2nd century BC), whose 

invention of ornamenting mosaic 

floors with food, as if it were leftovers

Tatiana Trouvé 

text by Heike Munder, Migros Museum für 

Gegenwartskunst, Zürich 

The artist Tatiana Trouvé works 

with staged rooms, architectonic 

interventions and snake-like metal 

sculptural objects, which seem to 

be in motion but at the same time 

strangely frozen. Her staged rooms 

often use the parameters of interior 

and exterior, working with the 

principle of inversion. Psychic spaces 

are externalised, becoming concrete, 

sinister ‘interior’ rooms. Trouvé’s 

pieces become visualisations of 

‘unconscious’ conditions that are 

continuously affected by uncertainty 

– while her module-like ‘mental 

landscapes’ circle around issues 

such as living space, memory, 

architecture and the construction of 

reality. This publication is the first 

devoted exclusively to Trouvé’s 

drawings, which at first look like 

classical architectural sketches, 

yet, on closer inspection, they 

breakdown time and again in the 

definition of vanishing lines and their 

interior architecture often remains 

ambiguous. Published on the 

occasion of the exhibition Tatiana 

Trouvé: A Stay Between Enclosure 

and Space, at Migros Museum für 

Gegenwartskunst, Zürich, November 

2009 – February 2010.

Vertigo, The Pink Panther, James 

Bond – are only three examples 

of a great number of movies with 

outstanding title sequences that 

form part of our collective memory. 

The challenge of combining words, 

image, and sound to introduce a 

theme without giving too much away 

has defined the style of a whole 

genre. Until today, the range of 

opening sequences extends from 

purely graphic-based solutions to 

independent film sequences with 

self-contained plots. The introduction 

into the film has a large impact on 

how it is perceived by the viewer. 

Still, only few title designers, among 

them Saul Bass, are known to the 

public. Included is an interview with 

Saul Bass by Gerhard Midding and 

Lars-Olav Beier.

Emmett Williams 

Sweethearts 

‘Emmett Williams’ Sweethearts is 

a breakthrough. It is to concrete 

poetry as Wuthering Heights is to 

the English novel; as Guernica is 

to modern art. Sweethearts is the 

first large scale lyric masterpiece 

among the concrete texts, compelling 

in its emotional scope, readable, 

a sweetly heartfelt, jokey, crying, 

laughing, tender expression of love. 

It moves. Miraculously, the formal 

limitations of Sweethearts enabled 

Emmett to prove that, with both 

hands tied behind his back, gagged, 

just nudging letters out of a regular 

grid with his nose (look, no mirrors), 

a real artist can write the Book of Life 

all over again.’ (Richard Hamilton)

author and photographer: Len Grant 

foreword by Eric Allison 

In 2007, the first Reclaim project 

brought forty-five 12 and 13-year-old 

boys from Manchester’s Moss Side 

district onto a six-month mentoring 

and confidence-building programme 

with impressive results. Akeim, now 

17, says ‘Reclaim changed me. If 

I wasn’t on the project I’d probably 

be in a gang now. Instead I do 

community work.’ A year later, the 

project’s director won a regional 

peace activist award for her team’s 

work in supporting young people from 

deprived communities. During 2010 

photographer and writer Len Grant 

followed the Gorton Girls’ Reclaim 

project, documenting the girls’ 

sometimes faltering but nevertheless 

steady progress until their ‘graduation 

day’ when they celebrated their 

achievement in front of friends and 

family. In The Reclaim Book Grant 

also includes interviews with the girls’ 

parents and carers that reveal much 

about the pressures faced by young 

people in our inner cities.

This catalogue documents and 

discusses a specific body of 

eight works including three new 

commissions made between 2000 

and 2010 by renowned electronic 

artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer where 

the content is determined by interreaction 

with the audience. Using 

sophisticated surveillance technology 

the works record the visitors’ images, 

voices, personal belongings and 

their very pulses in ways that subvert 

the use of these technologies in 

the broader society. ‘In Recorders 

artworks hear, see or feel the 

public; they exhibit awareness and 

record and replay memories entirely 

obtained during the show. The pieces 

either depend on participation to 

exist or predatorily gather information 

on the public through surveillance 

and biometric technologies. Frank 

Stella’s minimalist quip ‘what you 

see is what you get’ becomes ‘what 

you give is what you get.’ (Rafael 

Lozano-Hemmer). Published to

Accumulation 

Experiencing the City 

text by Steven Gartside 

The notion of what constitutes the city 

is something of a complex thing. The 

exhibition (and this accompanying 

book) considers ways in which our 

idea of the urban is made up of an 

accumulation of experiences which 

shape the way we respond, as well 

as the experiences we form, of our 

everyday environment. It consists 

of two essays and a section on 

archive film and was written as 

a complement to the exhibition 

Accumulation: experiencing the city 

held at the Museum of Science and 

Industry in Manchester, October 

2010 – January 2011. This book 

uses the idea of accumulation to 

immerse the reader into a range of 

perspectives on seeing and being in 

the city. It is designed as a pocket 

guide to experiencing the city. It 

is illustrated with commissioned 

photographs as well archive film stills 

from the last 100 years. Published by

Hannah Starkey 

Twenty Nine Pictures 

This publication accompanies 

Hannah Starkey’s first solo 

museum exhibition for 10 years 

and marks the transfer of her 

image making from film to digital 

photography. It examines the 

development of a remarkable body 

of work by an artist who invites 

us to acknowledge the alienation 

and the redemption present in 

contemporary life. In her catalogue 

essay, Margaret Iversen notes, ‘The 

cinematic mode of contemporary 

photography comprises a diverse 

range of practices and Starkey’s 

near-narrative photography is one 

particular type that needs to be 

differentiated from Cindy Sherman’s 

mimicry of film production stills 

or Gregory Crewdson’s elaborate 

staging of cinematic scenarios. 

What all of these artists’ work has in 

common, however, is the evocation 

of the quintessentially cinematic 

emotions of desire, doubt or anxiety. 

This strand of photographic art 

is defined as much by a certain 

cinematic sensibility, as by the 

strategy of staging scenarios for 

the camera.’

David Austen 

End of Love 

text by Nigel Prince 

edited by David Austen, Michael Stanley 

This book focuses on David Austen’s 

film End of Love, starring Vicky 

McClure, Elliot Cowan and Joseph 

Mawle. Set on the stage of an empty 

London theatre, the film follows the 

moving and vulnerable performances 

of 12 broken, love-torn, and marginal 

characters. The work is a poetic 

expression of love’s elusiveness, 

the non-linearity of time, and 

fleeting facets of personal memory. 

Austen’s practice encompasses 

painting, drawing, sculpture and 

more recently film, and shows an 

unceasing fascination with people 

through myriad observations of 

thoughts, actions, relationships and 

performances, reaching from the 

tender to the absurd. End of Love is 

Austen’s latest film. This book is fullyillustrated 

and contains an essay by 

Nigel Prince, Curator, Ikon Gallery.

Mihály Biró 

Pathos in Rot 

texts by Michael Diers, Sebastian 

Hackenschmidt, Peter Klinger, Peter Noever, 

Kathrin Pokorny-Nagel 

edited by Peter Noever 

This book focuses on posters which 

document the events in Austrian 

and Hungarian politics during the 

pre-war and interwar periods, as 

well as utilitarian graphic works 

and advertising posters, postcards, 

photographs and a series of 

lithographs, the so-called Horthy 

Portfolio. Budapest native Mihály 

Biró (1886 – 1948) joined the Social 

Democratic cause early in life. He 

spent the period between 1910 and 

1914 designing striking and widely 

noted posters and illustrations for the 

SZDP (Hungarian Social Democratic 

Party). Following the First World War, 

Biró became the graphic mouthpiece 

of the new Hungarian Red Army of 

the Hungarian Soviet Republic. The 

advent of the right-wing dictatorship 

of Miklós Horthy soon forced him, 

however, to flee to Vienna, where he 

created the Horthy Portfolio (1920), 

consisting of colour lithographs 

documenting the atrocities of the 

Horthy regime.

Bruce Conner 

The 70s 

texts by Ursula Blickle, Gerald Matt, Thomas 

Mießgang, Michelle Silva, Barbara Steffen, 

Malcolm Turvey 

edited by Gerald Matt, Barbara Steffen 

Few artists have contributed seminal 

works to as many genres as Bruce 

Conner (1933 – 2008), and his 

experimental films are regarded as 

forerunners of the MTV video clip 

today. Yet the avant-gardist has 

not only shown new ways of film 

making, but repeatedly reinvented 

himself as an artist in his works in 

various media. Conner’s drawings 

and paintings symbolise the 

metaphysical and transcendental. 

His many-faceted oeuvre combines 

a passion for music from Soul to 

Punk with an abstract formal beauty 

based on contrasts of light and dark 

and a critical view of art, society 

and the American way of life. This 

survey with its special focus on the 

1970s examines the formal parallels 

between Conner’s works as an 

artist and film-maker, and looks at 

drawings, oil and acrylic paintings, 

lithographs, prints, photograms 

and photographs alongside three 

of Conner’s best-known films: 

Breakaway (1966), Marilyn Times 

Five (1968 – 1973), and 

Crossroads (1976).

Jeremy Deller 

Social Surrealism 

In 2004 Jeremy Deller was awarded 

the Turner Prize for his multimedia 

installation Memory Bucket. His 

signature work The Battle of 

Orgreave (2001) focuses on a 

critical moment of the trade union 

movement, inviting us to a subtly 

differentiated examination of history. 

It forms only one part of a growing 

catalogue of projects that can be 

read as an ongoing processional 

body of work which examines, 

reflects upon and influences our 

society. Since his Manchester 

Procession, Deller uses the term 

‘Social Surrealism’ to describe his 

practice: going back to the original 

idea of carnival and procession, 

which is about inverting reality and 

changing reality if only for a day or a 

week, and changing how we look at 

the world.

Natalie Djurberg &

Snakes Knows it’s Yoga 

texts by Hans Berg, Pernille Fonnesbech, 

Florian Heesch, Kathrin Meyer, 

Kristin Schrader 

In 2009 Nathalie Djurberg won 

the Silver Lion of the 53rd Venice 

Biennale as a promising young 

artist. This book accompanying the 

solo show in the kestnergesellschaft 

Hannover impresses with its 

spectacular exhibition views. Fortytwo 

figures or groups of figures, for 

the most part under Plexiglas covers, 

on 42 dark wooden pedestals make 

a strongly sculptural installation 

ensemble. With the remarkable 

soundtracks by the composer 

Hans Berg, these ‘cute little puppet 

theatres’ perform scenes full of 

brutality, the same applies to her 

animated films. Djurberg also irritates 

with the text that is overlayed on her 

films, because she doesn‘t bother 

with correct spelling. The same goes 

for the title of the book: Snakes 

Knows it’s Yoga. Pain, death and 

enlightenment are central themes 

for Djurberg, as are suffering, fear of 

death, obsession, desire, power, the 

obscene, the grotesque and 

the exotic.

Marilyn Manson and 

David Lynch 

Genealogies of Pain 

texts by David Galloway, Cathérine Hug, 

Adrian Notz, Brigitte Schenk 

Marilyn Manson is known primarily 

for his rock music, and as a figure 

of scandal. Only a few people are 

aware that he has been involved 

with painting for many years. To 

mark the exhibition at Kunsthalle 

Wien, this catalogue is published, 

containing many watercolours that 

formally are very emotional and 

soft in appearance. However the 

medium stands in stark contrast 

to the subject matter of Manson’s 

pictures: primeval human fears, loss, 

despair, self alienation, deformed 

embryos and defiled corpses. The 

model and inspiration for Manson is 

the film director David Lynch, who 

was represented in the exhibition 

with four short films from the years 

1967 to 1973: the film titles hint at the 

points of reference: Six Men Getting 

Sick (1967), The Alphabet (1968), 

The Grandmother (1970) and The 

Amputee (1973). Like Manson, Lynch 

is interested in the reflection on and 

the aesthetics of pain, as well as the 

deformation and perishability of the 

human body.

McDermott & McGough 

No 26 Sandymount Avenue 

edited by Gerald Matt 

‘I‘ve seen the future and I’m not 

going’ has been an appropriate 

motto for the duo David McDermott 

and Peter McGough’s work and 

lifestyle. The two artists have made 

it their purpose in life to escape the 

dullness of today’s everyday world 

with their dandyish attitude. The 

spirit of past centuries wafts through 

their aesthetic constructions: rural 

idyll instead of concrete, silent films 

instead of high-definition TV, a photo 

camera from the 1910s instead of 

a digicam. The two time-travellers’ 

art unfolds as a meditation on 

the transitory character of things 

and the illusionary nature of each 

here and now. This book focuses 

on McDermott and McGough’s 

most recent photographic works 

produced after a historical printing 

process (cyanotype) and titled after 

their former home in Ireland (26 

Sandymount Avenue). The series is 

a picturesque portrait of their house, 

a veritable gesamtkunstwerk, which 

transfers Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall 

of the House of Usher into the 

21st century.

Eva Schlegel 

In Between 

texts by Jacqueline Burckhardt, Bettina M. 

Busse, Thomas Macho, Peter Noever, 

August Ruhs, Ingo Taubhorn 

edited by Peter Noever 

In Between presents Eva Schlegel’s 

works created for the eponymous 

exhibition at MAK, Vienna and also 

documents her broad spectrum of 

work, from pornographic varnish 

paintings to exhibition installations 

and spatial interventions through 

to current works in lead as well as 

the artist’s spatial works. A pivotal 

point in Schlegel’s artistic oeuvre is 

the opposition between the material 

and ephemeral. Her experimentation 

with contradictory states (presence/ 

absence, focus/blurriness, exterior/ 

interior, stasis/motion) serves to 

make the observer aware of the fact 

that they are engaged in observation. 

This catalogue focuses on the 

new series of lead pictures on the 

subject of flying and also shows a 

spectacular installation consisting of 

airplane propellers and projections 

for which Eva Schlegel has been 

filming people in a 15 metre high air 

column. For a long time Schlegel 

has been fascinated by the subject 

of ‘flying and falling’ on the border 

between success and failure and by 

conquering gravity.

Olaf Unverzart 

don’t fade to grey 

text by Tobias Haberl 

edited by Annette Oechsner 

Unverzart creates pictures that 

ask questions that are both subtle 

and sometimes melancholy. His 

coarse-grained black-and-white 

photographs, taken with analogue 

cameras, evoke associations on 

the one hand of a transience, but at 

the same time of an openness that 

involves narration, his motifs suggest 

things, but they avoid a presentation 

that is overtly explanatory. Influenced 

by great names of photographic 

history, such as Robert Frank and 

Garry Winogrand, Unverzart wanders 

leisurely through the world with his 

camera, always using the medium as 

a mirror to himself as well. Don’t fade 

to grey certainly doesn’t get stuck in 

the grey, but with its black and white 

tones points out the two extremes 

of life, which influence every 

moment. His way of reading traces 

emphasises this banal realisation 

again and again. In combination 

with award winning book designer 

Andreas Töpfer, Unverzart sees 

this publication as a statement that 

archives his works in combination 

with the book form, at the same time 

keeping them alive.

Anthony Earnshaw 

The Imp of Surrealism 

texts by Michel Remy, Dawn Ades, Gail 

Earnshaw, Michael Richardson, George 

Hardie, Paul Hammond, Roger Sabin, James 

Heartfield, Patrick Hughes, Chris Vine 

edited by Les Coleman 

The maverick artist and writer 

Anthony Earnshaw (1924 – 2001) 

was an original and witty thinker in 

the latter half of the 20th century, 

and his northern working-class roots 

were turned on their head by his 

discovery of surrealism and jazz in 

post-war 1940s England. Although 

he was self-taught, it would be 

inaccurate to describe Earnshaw as 

an ‘outsider artist’, more an armchair 

anarchist whose sympathies lay with 

the underdog. His diverse output 

includes drawings, paintings, poetry, 

writing, comic strips and illustrated 

novels, letterforms, and boxed 

assemblages. Includes essays, 

commentaries, and anecdotes 

from the artist’s friends, critics, and 

professional associates, and provides 

the first opportunity to examine 

the complexity of Earnshaw’s 

contribution to art and literature, and 

so position his work within a broader 

intellectual and social context.

Fluviatile 

artists: Lindsey Adams, Michelene Wandor 

poetry by Michelene Wandor 

text by Rebecca Fortnum 

Fluviatile is the culmination of a 10 

year visual journey; the artist Lindsey 

Adams’ concentrated relationship 

with a small insignificant Derbyshire 

brook, has revealed aspects of this 

watercourse which are unseeable 

with the naked eye. The surface, 

and multiple layers of underwater 

currents are photographed with 

an intense scrutiny and painterly 

sensibility. Michelene Wandor 

has written Ophelia: the poem, in 

response to the sequence of images. 

Rebecca Fortnum writes ‘At the 

heart of Fluviatile is a paradox that is 

both compelling and frustrating; the 

representation of something in flux by 

means of a ‘still’. On the face of it, the 

decision to photograph flowing water 

seems oddly perverse; a doomed 

attempt to capture a living event in 

an arrested moment. Yet on studying 

these quietly beautiful images one 

realises that this thwarted desire for 

movement possesses something 

quite mesmeric. Adams’ garden 

stream is ripe for literary allusions, 

and Michelene Wandor’s wonderful 

accompanying poem has explored 

this. But as the structural toughness 

of Wandor’s writing demonstrates 

there is an equally strong 

conceptual rigour.’

Pia Fries 

Krapprhizom Luisenkupfer 

texts by Oskar Bätschmann, Regine Heß, Pia 

Müller-Tamm, Astrid Reuter, Dorit Schäfer 

The autonomy of colour stands at the 

centre of the work of Pia Fries. Over 

the past 20 years, the internationally 

renowned artist has taken the 

process of painting to a new 

experimental level and developed 

an independent pictorial form. 

Colour appears – saturated, moist 

and glossy – in different clustered 

stages, is applied like impasto dough 

or thin washes, by flinging lumps of 

paint or slamming the entire picture 

plane. The cross-section of her works 

shown in this book goes back to two 

series that the artist did in a direct 

reference to works in the print room 

of the Karlsruher Kunsthalle. The 

poetically enigmatic title Krapprhizom 

Luisenkupfer refers to the 

Marchioness Karoline Luise (1723 

– 1783), who not only contributed 

substantially to the inventory of 

the Kunsthalle, but also had red 

colouring made that was extracted 

from the madder root (Krapp plant). 

The dense structures and branchings 

of her paintings is what Fries calls 

‘rhizomatic’, i.e. multi-rooted.

Paco Knöller 

text by Erich Franz 

The abstract pictures of Paco Knöller 

unfold in colourful richness. The 

colours mainly range between tones 

of turquoise, greenish-yellow, lilac 

and violet; via interplay, they mutually 

reinforce and influence each other. 

His new work group of smaller and 

colour-dense wood panels, which has 

come about since 2005, goes back 

to the oil crayon works on paper with 

their more monochrome priming in oil 

crayon and pigment and the largescale 

bright ‘cuts’ that he did between 

2001 and 2005. The printing blocks 

have carried over the intense colour 

zones and layers, printed freehand 

on gigantic paper sheets permeated 

with gouged-out progressions. 

In the new wood panels, colours 

and gougings come together in 

bundled energy and appear to have 

internalized wide-awake 

experiences of nature, of human life, 

and of poetry.

Mark Lammert 

Malerei 1997 – 2010 

text by Bruno Duarte 

interview by Matthias Flügge 

The non-figurative pictures by Mark 

Lammert reject anything narrative. 

Very early he gave up the stretcher 

frame but without foreswearing the 

canvas; he works in series and since 

1998 increasingly in small formats. 

His coal and graphite drawings 

– in part shot through with colour 

and always on heavy handmade 

paper – are mostly anatomically 

motivated studies that tend towards 

landscape and can be read as 

ciphers for nature. The picture 

groups reproduced in this book 

– Manöver, Sammlung and Nach 

Marey, etc. – are figure fragments 

of compact colour concentrations 

that are interpretable as condensed 

drawings. Lammert operates with 

varying colour palettes, switching, for 

example from a colour climate of oldmasterly 

pieces to the more garish 

hues of modern ones. The paint 

layers that emerge point to the act of 

painting itself and prompt the viewer 

to explore what lies underneath.

David Rabinowitch 

Birth of Romanticism 

Drawings 

text by Erich Franz 

All of the sculptor David 

Rabinowitch’s work, i.e. the flat floor 

sculptures he has done since the 

1960s and his extensive group of 

drawings, is based on the concept 

of vision. The perception of the work 

ensues via the interconnection of 

the viewer’s different standpoints 

with the work’s formal structure 

and its many manifestations. The 

recipient apprehends, discovers and 

combines its formal, material and 

three-dimensional identities. The 

artist divests his artworks of any 

otherness, of anything that points 

beyond them, particularly subjective 

interiority. This makes it all the more 

surprising that Rabinowitch, in the 

years 2008 – 2010, has once again 

turned to painting, which he had 

given up in 1962 and which, instead 

of the known geometric elements, 

now bursts with vivacious drawing, 

rapid traces of chalk and pencil 

and a restlessly scoured surface; 

yet the linear and planar processes 

remain clear-cut, straightforward and 

real. The built-up tension between 

rapidly moving fabrication and visual 

apprehension is resolved in the 

amalgamating intensity of the whole.

Ad Reinhardt 

Last Paintings 

text by Heinz Liesbrock 

The paintings of the American artist, 

Ad Reinhardt, were from the start 

defined by their clear geometrical 

forms. Reinhardt, who before his 

training as a painter had received 

a degree in art history, rejected 

any kind of fusion between art and 

life or any mystification of painting. 

Around 1953 he did his first black 

paintings in which every tendency 

to colour seemed to fade. From 

1960 his paintings were all only 

black, which he himself described as 

the ‘last paintings that anyone can 

paint.’ The encounter between Ad 

Reinhardt and Josef Albers in 1952 

– 1953 and their ensuing dialogues 

on the meaning of colour within the 

painting process were for the young 

Reinhardt an important impulse on 

his path towards his black paintings. 

Presented in this book is his oeuvre 

from the end of the 1930s to the late 

works; their special relevance can be 

recognized in juxtaposition with the 

works of Josef Albers.

The Collected Writings 

of Jon Thompson 

edited by Jeremy Akerman, Eileen Daly 

This volume brings together the 

collected writings of British artist, 

writer and professor Jon Thompson. 

As a teacher of artists, Thompson is 

credited as one of the most influential 

of his generation. He began writing 

in the late 1970s, and unlike much 

of the previous critical writing on 

academic art history, Thompson’s 

careful research, depth of historical 

knowledge and insight into an artist’s 

work and approach was quickly 

recognised as authoritative, fresh 

and exciting. Thompson taught 

at Goldsmiths College, London, 

Middlesex University and Jan Van 

Eyck Academie, The Netherlands, 

and he wrote influential essays about 

a wide range of artists including his 

former students Richard Deacon, 

Steve McQueen and Mark Wallinger. 

He also wrote extensively about 

trends in sculpture, art education and 

changes in art in general. His texts 

have been published in exhibition 

catalogues for the Hayward Gallery, 

Ikon Gallery and Serpentine Gallery; 

in Phaidon, Thames & Hudson and 

Blackwell books; as well as a variety 

of art magazines and journals.

Charles Harrison 

Looking Back 

introduction by Jo Melvin 

Looking Back is a collection of autobiographical 

interviews conducted 

with the art historian, curator, critic 

and professor Charles Harrison in 

the years before his death in August 

2009. The publication developed from 

transcripts of interviews conducted by 

researchers, students and journalists 

seeking information about Harrison’s 

experience of significant art historical 

events, institutions and artists. He 

also documented his experiences in 

the art world, amassing a large slide 

collection of images of exhibitions 

he visited, art works he championed 

and artists’ and critics’ studios and 

homes. These non-professional 

photographs represent Harrison’s 

eye and are reproduced in this book. 

Widely acknowledged as a leading 

figure in British art history, Harrison 

took part in and witnessed a period 

of crucial development of the arts in 

Britain. Here, Harrison is interviewed 

by Jo Melvin, Teresa Gleadowe 

and Pablo Lafuente, Juliette Rizzi, 

Sophie Richard, Elena Crippa and 

Christopher Heuer, and Matthew 

Jesse Jackson.

Robert Holyhead 

artist’s interview by Anthony Spira 

Robert Holyhead’s precise 

application and removal of paint, 

his colourful abstract form and 

his complex composition are 

celebrated in this catalogue. Full 

page illustrations of each of the eight 

paintings from 2010 are accompanied 

by detailed photographs of the 

edge of the paintings and places 

where the paint has been wiped 

away. Holyhead ‘looks for a type 

of familiarity, to create a presence 

that allows itself to be exposed 

on the surface.’ In his interview 

with Anthony Spira, director of the 

Milton Keynes Gallery, Holyhead 

explains that he is ‘pursuing this idea 

of navigating something spatially 

within the painting.’ Throughout the 

conversation, the artist discusses 

his struggle to find a new way of 

painting, his process and how he 

became a painter.

John Stezaker 

Silkscreens 

text by Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith 

Although best known for his smallscale 

intimate collages of film 

stills, postcards and other found 

imagery, John Stezaker’s silkscreens 

executed between 1977 and 1994, 

reveal another side of the artist. The 

comprehensive group of these mid to 

large-scale silkscreens are brought 

together here for the first time. 

They include manipulated imagery 

of kissing couples, disembodied 

men and women, floating babyheads 

and even film stills. While 

at first this body of works seems to 

stand in contrast to the collages, 

the silkscreens employ many of 

the same techniques, cutting out, 

cropping, slicing and over-laying that 

are seen throughout Stezaker’s work. 

Over 65 images are accompanied 

by Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith’s 

essay, the first text on Stezaker’s 

silkscreens as whole.

Fred Wilson 

A Critical Reader 

introduction by Lowery Stokes Sims 

edited by Doro Globus 

An anthology of critical texts and 

interviews with the American artist 

Fred Wilson, this publication focuses 

on the artist’s pivotal exhibitions and 

projects, and includes a wide range 

of significant texts that mark the 

critical reception of Wilson’s work 

over the last two decades. Brought 

together for the first time here, these 

reviews, interviews and essays are 

from sources that are largely out of 

print. The texts are accompanied 

by a large section of full colour 

illustrations that show the artist’s 

work from the early 1990s to present 

day. Concentrating on some of the 

most significant moments of Wilson’s 

career, the book focuses on essays 

from exhibition catalogues such as 

Mining the Museum and Speak of Me 

as I Am – Wilson’s installation in the 

American Pavilion at the 50th Venice 

biennale exhibition – and interviews 

with the artist himself.

Basketry 

Making Human Nature 

texts by Joshua A. Bell, Mary Butcher, 

Joanne Clarke, Sandy Heslop, Steven Hooper, 

John Mack, Victoria Mitchell, Aristóteles 

Barcelos Neto 

edited by Sandy Heslop 

The exhibition Basketry: Making 

Human Nature is, above all else, 

a celebration of human ingenuity. 

The overall aim is a wide-ranging 

exploration of the place of basketry 

in culture, involving artists and 

makers, curators, art historians, 

archaeologists and anthropologists. 

Basketry has been and is 

fundamental to the success of our 

species in colonising and thriving in 

a wide range of environments and 

in structuring our thought process. 

It has helped to establish the ways 

in which we live in the world and 

contributed to our sense of order 

and relationships. In other words, 

basketry has played a critical role in 

making human nature. The exhibition 

and the essays in this catalogue 

exemplify some of the many ways 

of thinking about the subject. The 

project has been an interdisciplinary 

collaboration between the units 

and institutes within the Sainsbury 

Institute for Art (SIFA).

Edith Dekyndt 

Source Book 8 

texts by Edith Dekyndt, Amira Gad, Juan 

A. Gaitan, Renske Janssen, Norman Mailer, 

Monika Szewczyk, Nicolaus Schafhausen 

Edith Dekyndt is an artist who 

draws inspiration from natural 

phenomena and, what may be 

called, ‘the psychology of machines’. 

Presented as minimal, highly precise 

installations, her works tread a fine 

line between the down-to-earth 

and the other-worldly, activating 

the cognitive boundaries of those 

who come in their midst. Witte de 

With’s 8th Source Book – which 

generously documents the works in 

the exhibition – also offers access to 

Edith Dekyndt’s personal inspirations 

in literature, film and music. For 

this book, Dekyndt prepared her 

own texts and lists of favourites, 

as well as a recommendation: 

Norman Mailer’s Of a Fire on the 

Moon (1971). A significant excerpt 

of this account of the Apollo 11 

mission (from a chapter entitled The 

Psychology of Machines) is thus 

reproduced and offers a precise 

poetic key for the artist’s blend of 

scientific enquiry and subjective 

reverie. Her selections are further 

illuminated in an interview with 

Amira Gad (assistant curator at 

Witte de With).

ONE DAY 

Susanne Kriemann 

edited by Nicolaus Schafhausen, 

Monika Szewczyk 

ONE DAY is the third book in a 

series of portraits, in book form, of 

the City of Rotterdam, that Witte de 

With, Center for Contemporary Art 

has been producing in collaboration 

with artists who are particularly 

concerned with the photographic 

medium. Kriemann is an artist 

whose work explores how images 

circulate and how displacement is 

represented in photography. For this 

project Kriemann collected a long 

list of books about Rotterdam, all of 

which have been published since its 

devastating bombing by the Luftwaffe 

in May 1940. The second largest city 

in The Netherlands, Rotterdam is 

unique in that its rebuilding did not 

focus on restoring the pre-war urban 

fabric, but instead became a multifaceted 

experiment in architecture 

and urban planning. From the books 

she collected, which document 

Rotterdam’s evolution, Kriemann 

selected 115 images. The flow of 

images in her book condense the 

experience of time by subtly tracing 

the course of one day, from dawn 

until dusk. Includes a discussion 

between Susanne Kriemann and 

critic/curator Christopher Eamon.
