Concept Store is a bi-annual journal, 

published by Arnolfini, focusing 

on critical issues of contemporary 

art and their relationship to wider 

cultural, social and political contexts. 

While Concept Store reflects upon 

ideas explored within Arnolfini’s 

artistic programme as well as future 

research projects, it is intended 

to be a critical platform in its own 

right, operating as a discursive 

space for commissioned texts, 

artists’ contributions, interviews and 

other experimental forms. It aims 

to challenge the conventions of the 

exhibition catalogue and the interrelations 

of artistic production, critical 

writing and cultural theory.

The Arts Catalyst 


Brandon Ballengée 

Malamp: The Occurrence of 

Deformities in Amphibians 

edited by Nicola Triscott, Miranda Pope 

The environmental artist and 

ecological researcher Brandon 

Ballengée possibly comes closest to 

an idealised synthesis between art 

and science. His artistic practice is 

immersed in the study of biodiversity, 

ecological change and global species 

decline. In particular, Ballengée 

has been working on declining 

and abnormal development of 

amphibians as a way of visualising 

localised environmental degradation. 

His practice incorporates primary 

biological research and ecological 

surveys, working with members 

of the community and scientists, 

culminating in art works, exhibitions 

and published scientific research. 

This monograph brings together 

recent research, commissioned by 

The Arts Catalyst and Yorkshire 

Sculpture Park, into deformities 

in English amphibians with 

findings from his global studies 

on amphibian decline. It includes 

texts on Ballengée’s practice 

from arts, science and ecological 

perspectives, and is richly illustrated 

with extraordinary photographs and 

images from his work.

Between Heaven and Earth: 

A Journey Through Christian 

Ethiopia 

text by Philip Marsden 

Nick Danziger was commissioned 

by the British Council to document 

the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox 

Christian Church as they prepared 

to celebrate their calendar’s second 

millennium on 11 September 2007. 

The Church is at the heart of one 

of the oldest surviving Christian 

communities in the world, and is 

a source of wonder and curiosity 

to many in the West. Danziger’s 

extraordinary black and white 

photographs of the celebrations show 

a lost, mystical world of churches and 

monasteries perched on remote cliffs 

and movingly reflect the faith and 

tenacity of the people, young and old. 

The photographs are accompanied 

by an essay titled The Drum and the 

Cross by the renowned traveler and 

writer on Ethiopia, Philip Marsden.

exhibition at The Royal Geographical 

Society, London, September –

Queen and Country 

Steve McQueen 

Queen and Country was created by 

Steve McQueen in response to his 

2003 commission by the Imperial 

War Museum’s Art Commissions 

Committee to create a work in 

response to the war in Iraq. Inspired 

by the dedication and selflessness 

of the servicemen and women he 

met in Basra in 2003, McQueen 

devised the concept that each of 

the soldiers killed in the conflict be 

commemorated on official postage 

stamps. Using images selected 

by the families of the deceased, 

full sheets of stamps, one per 

soldier with their name and date 

of death, are displayed in vertical 

sliding drawers contained in an 

oak cabinet. Neither for nor against 

the war McQueen’s dignified and 

moving response to his commission 

as war artist, is a work of personal 

tribute and commemoration. This 

commemorative book featuring 160 

service men and women has been 

published on the occasion of the 

display of the work at the National 

Portrait Gallery, London, 

20 March –18 July 2010.

The Caravan Gallery 


Is Britain Great? 2 

artists: Jan Williams, Chris Teasdale 

Following on from their bestselling 

book Is Britain Great? Williams and 

Teasdale continue their photographic 

exploration of the way we live 

today. Since embarking upon their 

travels with The Caravan Gallery, a 

mobile exhibition space that reaches 

places other galleries seldom reach, 

Williams and Teasdale have amassed 

a burgeoning archive of images 

exploring the shifting landscape 

of Britain from a sociological and 

psycho-geographical perspective. 

Williams and Teasdale’s photographs 

depict a land of contrast and 

contradiction that somehow manages 

to look both endearingly familiar 

and terrifyingly alien. Recurring 

themes include the yawning chasm 

between aspiration and reality, 

individuals battling authority by 

asserting themselves in unique and 

inventive ways; personal expression, 

customisation and appropriation; 

dereliction, regeneration and the 

changing face of the High Street, 

and an ongoing search for ‘genius 

loci’ or sense of place. Some images 

represent random sightings whilst 

others illustrate recognisable trends 

and themes. Seriously thought 

provoking, often hilarious!

Kate Davis 

Role Forward 

text by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith 

Role Forward is the first monograph 

produced on the Glasgow-based 

artist Kate Davis. It charts the 

development of her work over the 

last six years, culminating in a twoperson 

show with Faith Wilding at 

the CCA Glasgow in April 2010. 

Through this period, Davis’ work has 

evolved into the production of bodies 

of work, creating carefully composed 

environments which incorporate 

drawings, collages and sculptural 

objects. These installations seek to 

pose questions, or seek to manifest 

Davis’ responses to the practice of 

other artists, whilst commenting on 

the ever-shifting political, sociological 

and cultural environments in which 

art is produced. This monograph 

features a newly commissioned 

essay by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith 

and is designed by Robert Johnston. 

The publication is co-published 

by the CCA, Glasgow and Sorcha 

Dallas, Glasgow and is supported by 

The Scottish Arts Council.

The Audubon Trilogy: 

Delineations of American 

Scenery and Manners 

The Audubon Trilogy is a chapbook 

and DVD publication featuring Cairo, 

New Madrid and West Point, a trilogy 

of short films which draw upon the 

writings of the 19th century artist, 

ornithologist and frontiersman John 

James Audubon, renowned for his 

epic publication The Birds of America 

(1836). Filmed by collaborative artists 

Cartwright and Jordan along the 

Mississippi and Ohio rivers, the works 

connect and contrast Audubon’s vivid 

tales of Frontier America with their 

present day locations: an expansive, 

cinematic landscape of frozen 

rivers, backwoods, highways, bluffs, 

farmland, hunting camps, factories, 

freight trains and small towns. The 

artists deploy a part-documentary 

approach, filming a wide and 

varied topography, from bald 

eagle flocks and tupelo swamps to 

dilapidated towns and road kill. The 

accompanying illustrated chapbook 

includes drawings, maps, stills and 

texts by Cartwright and Jordan, and 

an essay by Devin Zuber.

Procession 

edited by Lesley Young 

Procession, conceived by Turner 

Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller, 

was a public event that took place in 

Manchester in July 2009. It included 

processional stalwarts, such as 

brass bands and rose queens, 

representations of historical and 

contemporary myth and folklore, and 

groups who constituted themselves 

especially for the occasion and 

are rarely celebrated in public. 

Participants included former mill 

workers (Last of the Industrial 

Revolution) Big Issue sellers and staff 

(Working Not Begging), unrepentant 

smokers (In the Air) and ramblers 

and walkers (Ramble On). This book 

contains a number of interviews 

made with key participants, 

images of the groups preparing 

for the event, the event itself and 

material included in Procession: 

An Exhibition. Procession was 

commissioned and produced by 

Manchester International Festival 

and Cornerhouse.

The Ur-Pflanze 

The Primal Plant: Plants of 

The Future 

artist: Melanie Jackson 

texts by Melanie Jackson, Esther Leslie 

This artist’s newspaper is composed 

of articles, texts and images that 

have grown from a dialogue between 

the artist Melanie Jackson and the 

writer Esther Leslie. It takes Goethe’s 

notion of the Urpflanze as a starting 

point: an idea of a plant form that had 

all future plants coiled up inside it. 

The Ur-form or Ur-phenomenon, is 

an effort to think through the relations 

between polar opposites, form and 

metamorphosis, nature and history, 

simultaneity and succession. The 

Ur-pflanze projects forward from its 

origins whole worlds that are yet to 

come. The newspaper is supplied as 

an archived edition in an archival box 

together with a signed and numbered 

monoprint edition.

Boris Becker 

Photographs 1984 – 2009 

texts by Siegfried Gohr, Gabriele Conrath-Scholl 

Boris Becker is one of the most 

important representatives of the 

German photographic scene. As 

a second-generation student of 

Bernd and Hilla Becher, he sets off 

with his camera in pursuit of motifs 

that are more structural in nature 

in terms of form and concentrates 

more on colour accents rather than 

reacting to the usual art historically 

motivated sign stimuli of urban 

or nature views. His series of 

bunker photographs in which he 

produced an almost encyclopaedic 

compendium of German bunkers 

from the Second World War 

encompasses 700 images, forms 

the most comprehensive group. 

This was followed by photographs 

of apartment blocks and other 

architectonic constructions. 

Alongside these works, Becker has 

also regularly taken photographs of 

landscapes. The most recent works 

include the group of photos entitled 

Artefacts. These works contain 

images of individual or accumulated 

objects as well as Fakes with 

photographs of objects that were 

‘faked’ to smuggle drugs.

artists: Arman, Joseph Beuys, John Bock,

Tirvanija, Günther Uecker 

texts by Magdalena Holzhey, Renate 

Buschmann, Ulrike Groos, Beate Ermacora, 

Elke Krasny, Nikolai Wojtko, Christiane Boje 

Eat Art as an institution has its 

origins in Düsseldorf: Daniel Spoerri 

founded Spoerri’s Restaurant on 

Burgplatz in 1968 and two years 

later the Eat Art Gallery, where artists 

ranging from Dieter Roth and Joseph 

Beuys to Roy Lichtenstein exhibited 

objects made out of foodstuffs. 

Using the historical activities of 

Eat Art as its starting point, this 

volume gathers together artworks 

from the 1970s to the present made 

by employing edible materials. A 

growing interest in artistic dealings 

with food is particularly noticeable 

since the 1990s – both in terms of 

material aesthetics as well as in the 

conspicuous number of gastronomic 

events organised by artists.

Leni Hoffmann 

RGB 

texts by Katia Baudin, Godfrid Haberer, 

Leni Hoffmann, Heribert Prantl 

edited by Katia Baudin 

In her works Leni Hoffmann 

examines the potential of painting 

beyond the radical approaches 

of past decades. By taking up El 

Lissitzky’s idea of removing colour 

from the canvas and bringing it 

into an architectural context or to 

the everyday living environment 

Hoffmann shows herself to be a true 

‘granddaughter’ of Suprematism 

and Constructivism. For her, art is 

a part of daily life not intended for 

the museum. With her site-specific, 

usually temporary paintings in 

spaces that frequently have nothing 

to do with conventional painting, 

she creates a dialogue between 

the artwork, the urban location or 

space and the viewer. Hoffmann 

diverts the viewer’s glance with 

her interventions, reinterprets and 

redesigns, sharpens perception 

and provides a profile to ‘real life’.

Leiko Ikemura 

Horizontal 

edited by Pia Müller-Tamm 

The often childlike or apparently 

girlish figures by this Japanese 

artist are frequently shown reclining. 

Whether as clay sculptures with 

pedestals, on paintings or in 

drawings, these seemingly vulnerable 

creatures are generally depicted 

horizontally, either lying or sleeping. 

What does the horizontal mean as 

a sight line, as a vanishing point, as 

a subdivision of space, as a format 

decision? Where does ‘reclining’ 

switch into ‘flying’ and how finally 

does a Japanese iconography 

reveal itself in this peculiarity of the 

artist? This book on the subject of 

the horizontal and the horizontal 

orientation of her works is published 

on the occasion of the presentation 

of the August Macke Prize to Leiko 

Ikemura. Alongside a survey of her 

work, the artist’s photographs are 

published here for the first time.

Stephan Kaluza 

The (Invisible) Wall 

texts by David Galloway, Heinz-Norbert Jocks 

The Berlin Wall was systematically 

torn down after it fell in 1989 leaving 

only a few remnants. New houses 

and office complexes were erected 

on the site of the former death strip 

where it was intended that Berlin 

should quickly ‘grow together’. Over 

the course of the past year, Stephan 

Kaluza has walked the 50 km route 

between Berlin-Schildow in the North 

and Berlin-Schönefeld in the South 

along the former border where the 

Wall stood. At intervals of one metre, 

he took a photograph of the nonexistent 

Wall. He thus photographed 

a reminiscence, a ‘ghost’ – a Wall 

that was no longer present, but which 

nevertheless remains a part of our 

memory and consciousness. Kaluza 

assembled these 30,000 pictures 

into a single, long seamless image. 

A document was thus produced in 

which the past and the visible present 

merge into a unique pictorial space.

texts by Volker Adolphs, Clemens Krümmel 

edited by Klaus Adolphs 

Drawing is the most primal form 

of artistic expression and is paid 

more attention to today than 

ever before. As a global visual 

language it enables cross-cultural 

communications, ranging from 

the immediate, improvisational 

movement to the complex image 

of the world, from the recording of 

individual experiences to the concept 

of reporting. The exhibition and this 

accompanying book unites significant 

groups of works by 19 artists who 

live and work in Germany and 

understand drawing as the primary 

focus of their artistic endeavours. 

These artists inquire about what 

drawing can achieve today as well 

as how it formulates and alters our 

perception of ourselves and the 

world.

Jonathan Meese 

The Arch-State of Atlantisis 

texts by Oliver Kornhoff, Daniel J Schreiber 

Aside from painting and sculpture, 

the work of Jonathan Meese 

also encompasses installations, 

performances, collages, videos and 

theatrical pieces. In consistently 

elaborate sets encompassing 

pictures, texts, signs, objects as well 

as his own neologisms dealing with 

all manners of power-hungry people, 

myths and great historical figures, 

stars and starlets from pop culture 

or his heroes from film and fiction, 

Meese creates his own universe 

far from the norm. It is inhabited by 

figures such as Caligula, Stalin, the 

Marquis de Sade, Richard Wagner, 

Balthus or Dr. No to whom Meese 

assigns new contexts of meaning 

and where he deliberately crosses 

conventional thresholds and follows 

his own rules. Meese has now 

rediscovered Atlantis and reaches 

The Arch-State of Atlantisis in the 

exhibition in Rolandseck am Rhein.

Henry Moore and the 

Landscape 

texts by Helmut Schmidt, Anita Feldman 

Bennet, Katja Blomberg, Beate Kemfert, 

Irene Tobben 

As the most outstanding sculptor of 

his time, Henry Moore influenced 

post-war modernism in Europe as no 

other. German sculpture after 1945 

profited enormously from his genius 

during the period of restoration. 

Over 50 works on paper as well as 

about 30 smaller and three largescale 

sculptures are presented 

that trace the themes of the figure 

and the landscape in Moore’s late 

works dating from 1960 to 1981 

and which in many cases have 

never before been shown outside 

England. The idea of the body as 

landscape consistently formulated 

by Henry Moore for the first time in 

modern art is ideally demonstrated. 

Also included are illustrations of the 

Maquette Studio in which Moore 

produced his original plasters as 

well as photographs of the Much 

Hadham landscape where he lived 

and worked from 1940 until his death 

in 1986.

Bruce Nauman 

Collector’s Choice Vol. 10 

text by Eugen Blume 

Bruce Nauman recognises that his 

work’s development derives from 

a disappointment in the ‘human 

condition’. In his essay, curator 

Eugen Blume therefore inquires 

about the conditions of human 

existence in the 1960s and 1970s 

and what test assemblies Nauman 

developed to assure himself of 

this. In his performances, Nauman 

investigates elemental movements 

in terms of their significance for art 

as well as for human existence per 

se. Starting with the conversations 

he carried out with Meredith Monk 

in 1967 and his encounter with John 

Cage and the Merce Cunningham 

Dance Company, the informative, 

‘descriptive’ role of dance and the 

body is examined as one of the 

central themes in Nauman’s work. 

Sound also takes on particular 

significance throughout his work and 

this interest deriving from Nauman’s 

own intense relationship to music is 

joined here by his language-oriented 

work. Published on the occasion of 

the exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof 

from May 2010.

Emil Nolde 

Reiselust / Wanderlust 

text by Andreas Fluck 

edited by Manfred Reuther 

Emil Nolde travelled often and far: 

Switzerland and Denmark, France 

and Italy, Sweden, England, Austria, 

Belgium and Holland as well as 

to the South of Spain on the way 

to Granada. While one usually 

associates Nolde with expressive 

paintings and watercolours from 

his native gardens, and Nordic 

landscapes and maritime views, 

this sixth volume in the Nolde 

Foundation’s series of catalogues 

accompanies the painter on his 

voyages. Aside from the well-known 

and ever popular landscape images, 

this book and exhibition also feature 

mountain panoramas and studies of 

people, opening new perspectives on

Emil Nolde 

Unpainted Pictures 

texts by Jörg Garbrecht, Manfred Reuther 

In 1941, the president of the Reichs 

Chamber of the Visual Arts in Berlin 

prohibited Emil Nolde, ‘effective 

immediately, from all professional 

activities in the field of the visual 

arts.’ ‘I was in the midst of beautiful, 

productive painting when this ban 

on painting and selling arrived. The 

brush fell out of my hand,’ Nolde 

recalled. ‘With a sword hanging 

over my head, movement and 

freedom were taken from me’. Nolde 

continued to paint during the eight 

years of his ostracism in a remote 

chamber of his home in Seebüll. He 

called the small-format watercolours 

and gouaches that were sometimes 

no larger than the palm of his hand, 

‘unpainted pictures’. More than 1,300 

‘unpainted pictures’ were produced 

during the time of the painting ban.

Arnulf Rainer 

The Beginning is Always the 

Hardest: Early Works 

1949 – 1961 

Arnulf Rainer, born 1929, is one 

of the most important post-war 

European artists. He attained 

international recognition with his 

overpaintings of his own works and 

those of others, which he raised to 

the level of an autonomous art form. 

This catalogue, the first complete 

survey of the artist’s influential early 

work, is published on the occasion 

of the opening of the Arnulf Rainer 

Museum in Baden. Works from 1947 

to the late 1950s depict the Austrian 

and international significance of 

his oeuvre. From his surrealistic 

representational, often large-format 

drawings to the initial phase of his 

world-famous overpaintings and 

cross works, this publication provides 

a concentrated survey of one of the 

most enthralling periods in the history 

of 20th century Austrian art.

The Art of Anselm 

Reyle 

edited by Uta Grosenick 

Anselm Reyle already dealt – at 

a time when the art market was 

screaming for figurative paintings 

– with abstraction and formalism. 

He gives new impulses to subject 

matter that have been considered 

passé since the age of modernism 

by working with present-day 

materials and associations. This 

lavish, large-format monograph is 

the first of its kind to examine his 

entire oeuvre. It is printed in sevencolour 

inks including three special 

neon colours and printed in part on 

various types of film, varnished paper 

and reflecting base coats. Reyle 

has created 10 new works based 

on a playful response to working 

with these materials and conceived 

exclusively for this monograph. 

Alongside 300 illustrated works, his 

own photographs examining the 

positioning of Berlin, and three texts 

on his works, the French designer 

and photo artist Hedi Slimane has 

developed a series of black and white 

photographs portraying Reyle at work 

in his studio.

Jason Rhoades 


text by Eva Meyer-Hermann 

Jason Rhoades’ work has its origins 

in the late 1980s and early 1990s 

when he studied at the University 

of California in Los Angeles under 

Richard Jackson and Paul McCarthy. 

This was a time when the Southern 

Californian performance scene 

began to open itself up to exhibition 

events and the art market in New 

York and Europe. Rhoades included 

performative elements in his spatial 

installations and developed his own 

thematic cycles of works from it. 

His sculptural language is trained 

on elements of mass culture and 

evolved metaphors by means of 

great physical exertions which – in 

their temporality and singularity – 

signify the unfulfilled desires for 

spiritual insight. Despite his early 

death, Jason Rhoades (1965 – 

2007) left behind a prolific sculptural 

oeuvre. For the first time, curator 

Eva Meyer-Hermann chronologically 

traces the total development and 

provides exemplary interpretations 

of this seemingly inextricable work 

comprising installations that fill 

entire halls.

generation. In Europe as well, he 

has been numbered amongst the 

most important contemporary Asian 

painters since he represented his 

country in 1999 at the first Venice 

Biennale headed by the legendary 

curator Harald Szeemann with a 

series of portraits dominated by 

the colour red. His paintings are

Roman Signer 


text by Rachel Withers 

Signer’s materials are water, fire, 

air, and earth – elements that 

intervene in the formation of the work 

and complete it. His finely tuned, 

deceptively simple ‘time sculptures’ 

have achieved an unusually 

widespread impact. Children as 

well as philosophers, art experts 

and laymen, art lovers and sceptics 

alike are equally fascinated by the 

unique combination of visible beauty, 

transportable poetry, humour, and 

profound conceptual consequences. 

Art Historian, Rachel Withers 

analyses Roman Signer’s time 

sculptures from various perspectives. 

Using Bergson and Bachelard 

among others as a starting point, 

she examines several key questions 

of contemporary philosophy and 

tests their consequences for our 

understanding of Signer’s works. 

She links the time sculptures to the 

‘time revolution’ that changed our 

comprehension of art in the late 20th 

century and traces Signer’s ongoing 

fascination with the environment 

to the current ecological debates 

concerning the temporality of nature.

Rudolf Steiner and 

Contemporary Art 

texts by Johannes Meinhardt, 

Markus Brüderlin 

edited by Markus Brüderlin, Ulrike Groos 

Ever since Rudolf Steiner’s panel 

drawings were first exhibited in a 

contemporary art context in the 

summer of 1992 at the Galerie 

Monika Sprüth in Cologne, they 

went on tour as the transmitter of 

an ‘anthroposophy for the future’ to 

some of the best known museums in 

the world. In addition to his paintings, 

drawings and sculptures, these 

panel pictures are clearly located 

at the junction between art and 

science, programmatically pointing 

to the key interrelationship between 

mankind and the cosmos. It was 

always Steiner’s extraordinary way of 

seeing objects and non-objects that 

led to sustainable reform projects in 

such fields as agriculture, education 

and medicine. This book examines 

for the first time Anthroposophist 

thought as reflected in contemporary 

art and to what extent its integral 

concepts and aesthetic ideas are 

realised in the visual arts. Published 

on the occasion of the exhibition at 

Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, May – 

October 2010, and Kunstmuseum 

Stuttgart, February – May 2011.

Erwin Wurm 

texts by Stephan Berg, Helmut Friedl, 

Gertrud Koch, Friederike Mayröcker, Claudia 

Salzer, Jerome Sans, Franz Schuh, Kirsten 

Claudia Voigt 

Erwin Wurm has worked for over 25 

years on a multifaceted oeuvre that 

can be interpreted as a ‘continuous 

research on the concept of sculpture’. 

For Wurm, everything can become a 

sculpture: actions, written or drawn 

instructions and even thoughts. 

With immense humour and wit he 

examines the threshold between 

the diverse layers of actions, 

performances and sculpture, and 

translates into the contemporary 

media world. Increasingly the artist 

has made videos in recent years that 

are being published and analysed 

for the first time in this catalogue. 

Wurm became known to a wider 

audience through his ‘One minute 

sculptures’ and his ‘Fat sculptures’.

Miao Xiaochun 

2009 – 1999 

Miao Xiaochun became well known 

with his large-format panorama 

photographs, digital assemblies 

of modern Chinese cities or timehonoured 

buildings. A person named 

‘He’ who depicts Miao himself 

wearing traditional Chinese garments 

often plays a key role in these works. 

A further imposing piece is the threedimensional 

computer simulation The 

Last Judgement in Cyberspace which 

quotes Michelangelo’s fresco from 

the Sistine Chapel. All the figures are 

replaced by a single virtual model 

that in turn also depicts the artist. In 

recent works, Miao occupies himself 

with the pictorial canon of Western 

art history which he realises digitally. 

See the cover of this book that shows 

a Chinese adaptation of the famous 

Fountain of Youth by 16th century 

German painter Lucas Cranach 

the Elder.

examines the practical and symbolic 

dimensions of digital technology in 

museum and gallery culture – and 

how these have had an impact 

on what we mean by a visitor, an

in the visual arts. It examines 

approaches from the UK and abroad, 

the challenges of researching this 

area, and looks at how galleries 

and museums can best cater 

simultaneously for different age 

groups with very different needs and 

learning styles. How can the concept

Peter Fraser 

Lost for Words 

text by Mark Durden 

edited and foreword by David Drake 

The outcome of visits to many 

diverse sites of interest across 

Wales, Lost for Words captures in 

Peter Fraser’s unique way the spirit 

of the country. As Fraser was born 

and grew up in Wales, the project 

has a particular significance in 

terms of his childhood memories. 

The new photography signals a 

certain departure in that it relishes 

the artificial and illusory – the world 

of the museum, other worlds, model 

worlds. There is a subtle, dreamlike 

quality to many pictures as a result. 

His photography asks questions 

about how we relate to the world, 

and the world that is opened up 

here is often strange, replete with 

fantasies, illusions and fears. Fraser 

has now stopped using film and this 

work marks his turn to the digital, a 

process that has given him greater 

freedom and versatility, in terms of 

the facility and ease with which he 

can depict things in the world.

The Silent Village 

artists: Peter Finnemore, Paolo Ventura, 

Rachel Trezise, Humphrey Jennings 

texts by Russell Roberts, Dave Berry 

edited and foreword by David Drake, 

Russell Roberts 

On June 10 1942, the 

Czechoslovakian village of Lidice, 

near Prague, was obliterated by the 

Nazis following the assassination 

of Reinhard Heydrich by the Czech 

resistance. Throughout the West, 

news of the atrocity was met with 

outrage that inspired various acts of 

commemoration including poems, 

novels, symphonies and films. 

Within weeks, work had begun 

on translating those events into a 

film supported by the Ministry of 

Information, London, and made in 

South Wales. Under the supervision 

of the artist, poet and filmmaker 

Humphrey Jennings, they made a 

short film, The Silent Village (1943). 

This publication reflects on the 

distinctive relations of time and place 

that defined Humphrey Jennings’ 

original film. The contributors offer 

contemporary responses to a film 

that is both a reconstruction of the 

Lidice atrocity and an account of 

Welsh life in the early 1940s.

Isabel Albrecht 

text by Angela Eames 

Isabel Albrecht aligns herself 

completely with the practice of 

drawing. She is a drawer despite 

her choice of medium, whether 

that is graphite or paint, canvas or 

paper. Her methodology involves the 

painstaking laying down of lines and 

in this recent body of works these 

are lines of paint, which she refers 

to defiantly as brush lines and not 

brush strokes. Canvas or paper of 

previously specified dimensions is 

tracked in its entirety with marks, 

individually applied lines of oil 

or watercolour, which suffuse on 

completion into a new surface.

Ina Geißler 

Still’s Life 

text by Peter Lodermeyer 

A major theme for Ina Geißler 

is painting picture spaces. This 

defines the productive contradiction 

that feeds her work, and infuses 

her paintings with their specific 

pictorial dynamics. It is the conflict 

between the flat picture carrier and 

the interlocking units of spaces, 

composed of numerous painted lines, 

surfaces and structures that are 

interwoven to form a highly complex 

picture whole. The spatial effect of 

the pictures arises from the visual 

co-operation of the viewer. To an 

exceptional degree, Ina Geißler’s 

works require an active attitude in 

terms of reception. It is viewing as a 

conscious act.

Pascal Danz 

Blank Out 

text by Kerstin Stremmel 

interview with the artist by Ben Tufnell 

Pascal Danz’s paintings are 

simultaneously seductive and 

troubling, broodingly romantic and 

highly contemporary. His starting 

point for his engagement with images 

is photographs sourced from the 

internet. His visual investigation 

is driven by disturbance. Danz 

often deliberately selects pictures 

distributed by a variety of media and 

those that he finds troubling and 

irritating because of their doubtful 

quality, overexposure or crude choice 

of frame. Blank Out focuses on a 

new ambitious group of oil paintings 

executed in the course of 2007– 

2008 and a panoptic selection of 

drawings from the last few years, 

illustrating the importance of paper 

works in Danz’s oeuvre. Published

The Visual Art of John Cage

introduction by Jeremy Millar 

interviews by Kathan Brown, Ray Kass, 

Laura Kuhn, Julie Lazar, Irving Sandler 

This book is published to accompany 

the first major UK retrospective of the 

visual art of the pioneering American 

composer and artist John Cage 

(1912 – 1992). The use of chance 

operations, in particular the Chinese 

Book of Changes, or I Ching, was 

central to Cage’s compositional 

method and his approach to his 

drawings, watercolours and prints. 

Cage’s practice is explored in new 

interviews with key collaborators: 

printmaker Kathan Brown; Laura 

Kuhn, Director of the John Cage 

Trust; artist Ray Kass; and Julie 

Lazar, curator of Cage’s 1992 

‘composition for a museum’, 

Rolywholyover: A Circus. At the 

heart of the book is a ‘Companion to 

Cage’: a selection of quotations by 

Cage and notes on key themes and 

influences from ‘Alphabet’ to ‘Zen’, 

making it essential reading on this 

important figure of the 20th century

Ernesto Neto

Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto has 

established over the past 20 years 

an international reputation for his 

work. His influences range from the 

European modernist artists Alexander 

Calder and Constantin Brancusi to 

his Brazilian predecessors Lygia 

Clark, Hélio Oiticica and Amílcar 

de Castro. Neto’s biomorphic 

nylon sculptures and multi-sensory 

environments exist, in the artist’s 

words, as ‘a place of sensations, a 

place of exchange and continuity 

between people’. This important 

survey is published to accompany 

an exhibition in which Neto will 

re-imagine the Hayward Gallery’s 

concrete spaces and brutalist 

architecture with a new site-specific 

commission and a number of new 

sculptural works. This book surveys 

Neto’s career to date, containing 

texts by key international scholars 

and a new interview with the artist.

artists in the exhibition respond to 

ways in which our private realms 

are increasingly interconnected with 

the outside world. Using décor as 

a springboard, their works play on 

cultural histories and behavioural 

scripts embedded in particular 

design elements, or suggest new 

situations in which social exchanges 

might occur.

Semyon Faibisovich 

Razgulyai 

text by Jonathan Watkins 

Russian artist Semyon Faibisovich 

has returned to painting with a 

vengeance. He abandoned the 

medium from the mid 1990s for 

more than 10 years, in the face 

of an exclusive conceptualism 

then rampant in Moscow, working 

instead as a writer and filmmaker. 

Ikon presents Faibisovich’s first 

UK exhibition, with a new series 

of paintings derived from mobile 

phone photographs. Depicting 

scenes of everyday life in Razgulyai, 

the Moscow district where the 

artist has been living for the last 

20 years, these paintings focus 

on marginalised, unglamorous 

individuals. Homeless and alcoholic 

residents of the city are treated 

sympathetically by Faibisovich as 

they go about their days, and likewise 

working class people who are in 

stark contrast to the Russian 

nouveau riche. This publication 

documents these new mobile 

phone paintings.

Blaise Pascal, Eusèbe Salverte, Nietzsche, 

Nicolas of Cusa, Mattia Denise, Dr. David 

Whitehouse, João Maria Gusmao, Pedro 

Paiva, Marcus Steinweg, Sarah Robayo 

Sheridan 

This book is built around three central 

texts that offer the starting point 

for the artists’ new work. First is a 

selection of poetry by Alberto Caeiro, 

an alter ego or heteronym of arguably 

the greatest Portuguese writer of 

the 20th century, Fernando Pessoa. 

Writing in a simple, direct manner, 

Caeiro sees the world around him 

purely as it is. The second text 

is an excerpt from the Kabbalah 

tradition that looks at the concept of 

Tzimtzum, a story telling the process 

of creation. Ideas of infinity are 

considered in the artists’ third choice,

Pidgy 

Clare E. Rojas 

text and illustrations by Clare E. Rojas 

Pidgy is a children’s story book 

about a baby bird which is rescued 

by some children. The children 

look after the baby bird and wonder 

what kind of bird it is – an eagle or 

a hawk perhaps – but it is a boring 

pigeon. The children visit the library 

and discover that pigeons are in fact 

very interesting creatures, they can 

see ultraviolet light, they won more 

medals for bravery than any other 

animal in the world wars and they 

have a mysterious homing instinct. 

The children bring the baby pigeon 

back to recovery and the pigeon 

goes off and finds a mate. Published 

to accompany the exhibition Clare 

E. Rojas: We They, We They at 

Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, February 

– March 2010, and The Museum of 

Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco,

Ron Terada

Anne Low 

Ron Terada is a Vancouver based 

artist whose work appropriates texts 

drawn from street signage, popular 

music and advertising. Through 

his deadpan reproduction of them, 

he considers language in a way 

that is comic, melancholic and selfeffacing, 

apparently refusing authorial 

presence or control. The exhibition 

at Ikon, his first solo show in the 

UK, traces developments in the 

artist’s practice over the last decade.

The Die is Cast 

After the innovations of William 

Ged and Firmin Didot founded the 

idea of stereotyping and coined 

the onomatopoeic label ‘cliché’ 

respectively, as technical printer’s 

terms, the conceptual extension of 

the cliché and stereotype as social 

metaphors followed the idea of 

repeated, solidly pre-set phrases. 

The pejorative modern connotations 

of being reductive, ill-representative 

and over-used are now embedded 

in both the two words themselves 

and the idea of using predetermining 

identifications. With one staple, one 

fold, the equivalent paper of one A4 

sheet, and one determinedly grey 

ink this pocketbook inverts the logic 

and format of the codex publication 

to overlay the shapes, sounds and 

metaphors of common English 

clichés about clichés.

The Natural History and 

Antiquities of Dale Street in 

the County of Lancashire 

artists: Robert Williams, Jack Aylward-Williams 

text by Professor John K. Walton 

edited by Robert Williams 

Inspired by Gilbert White’s famous 

book The Natural History and 

Antiquities of Selborne of 1789, 

Robert Williams and Jack Aylward- 

Williams set out to explore, collect 

and present material from Dale Street 

in Lancaster throughout the year 

2007 – 2008. The book is informed 

by dialogues between father and 

son, and between residents of Dale 

Street, and in photographs and 

text which reference collections 

drawn from the environment, and 

then presented as a cabinet of 

curiosities. In selecting a street in 

Lancaster, itself a mirror of social 

diversity in contemporary Britain, 

the project offers the opportunity 

for a community to reflect on its 

relationship with the plants, animals 

and insects in the locality, as well as 

its own history and demography.

Change is a part of life. Even if 

we have not moved house, city or 

country, our identity is ever changing. 

It is rooted in our social, emotional 

and cultural histories. The inner and 

external journeys navigated both in 

the distant past and the present day 

by ourselves and by our ancestors 

inform our sense of self. They are 

revealed or hidden in our personal 

and cultural belief systems, our 

values and attitudes and our ways of 

being in the world. This set of cards

stimulate creative exploration around

Dark Places uncovers hidden sites

– the ‘Dark Places’ of the modern 

world. New artists’ works include 

The Office of Experiments’ ambitious 

Overt Research Project, which 

maps, observes and records those 

advanced labs and facilities that are 

unwittingly – or purposefully 

– concealed from public view. Steve 

Rowell from the US group the Centre

in his new project Ultimate High 

Ground, uncovers the shared US-UK 

spaces of military power that dot our 

landscape. Steve Beard and Victoria 

Halford’s new film Voodoo Science 

Park unpacks the extraordinary 

constructed sites of the Health and 

Safety Laboratory in Derbyshire, 

where train crashes and industrial 

accidents are re-created to examine 

their destructive pathways. Dark 

Places was commissioned by The

Avant-garde in the Bloc is a

(1894 – 1988) and Edward Krasinski 

(1925 – 2004) and the founding 

of the Institute of the Avant-garde 

established in the two artists’ 

studio. The issues related to the 

studio/apartment of Stazewski and 

Krasinski refer to ‘other spaces’ of art 

and art history in Poland after 1945, 

which invalidate binary oppositions 

of private/public, interior/exterior, 

history/memory. With numerous

the history and the artistic and social 

phenomenon of the studio, as well 

as to new research perspectives 

related to the work of Stazewski and

Francis Baudevin 

Miscellaneous Abstract 

texts by Christophe Cherix, 

Rainer Michael Mason, Bob Nickas 

edited by Lionel Bovier 

This is the first reference monograph 

dedicated to the Swiss artist Francis 

Baudevin and presents an overview 

of his practice since the mid-1980s. 

Baudevin realises paintings from 

found compositions of graphics 

designed for various products, 

primarily pharmaceuticals, as well 

as logos and album covers. In the 

appropriation, his main act is that 

of removal: he takes away the type, 

leaving only the graphics, and so no 

products are identified or advertised. 

He never varies the colours from 

those of the original and his only 

real departure is scale, with the 

original enlarged by 10 times or 

more on to the canvas or the wall. 

In basing his paintings on package 

design and logos, he is in effect 

taking back, or re-appropriating, the 

history that influenced its commercial 

counterpart. Published with the 

Société des Arts, Geneva.

Karla Black 

It’s Proof that Counts 

edited by Annette Hans, Heike Munder, 

Paul Nesbitt, Michael Stanley 

This extensive monograph gives 

a detailed insight into the work of 

Scottish artist Karla Black. Reflecting 

the ephemeral nature of her work, 

the monograph resembles an artist’s 

sketchbook that is still in the process 

of being used. Plaster, chalk dust, 

and Vaseline, or substances such as 

face powder, lipstick, and nail varnish 

are often the raw materials. These 

delicate works – whether transparent 

cellophane arranged sculpturally to 

hang from the ceiling, or fragile works 

of gossamer-fine powder sprinkled 

onto the floor – present references 

to the Minimal and Conceptual 

art of the 1960s and 1970s. Karla 

Black extends the classical notion of 

sculpture through a process-oriented, 

performative handling of cultural 

connotations and untypical materials.

Troy Brauntuch 

texts by Johanna Burton, Douglas Eklund 


A member of the so-called Pictures 

Generation, Troy Brauntuch – whose 

career spans some three decades 

– has often been characterised, 

with his peer Jack Goldstein, as 

taking a postmodern attitude toward 

representation. He is well known for 

his works from the end of the 1970s 

and beginning of the 1980s in which 

he decontextualised what would 

otherwise be hyperbolically charged 

content. In his most recent work, 

Brauntuch extends his investigations 

to the space between a thing and 

our idea of it. In his photographs, 

everyday objects assert their 

ephemerality, and a tangible, intimate 

silence seems as much a part of 

the pictures as the simple domestic 

scenes they convey. This book offers 

the first survey of Brauntuch’s work 

and includes newly commissioned 

essays by Johanna Burton and 

Douglas Eklund (the curator of the 

recent Pictures Generation exhibition 

at the Metropolitan Museum in 

New York).

Valentin Carron 

Learning from Martigny 

text by Nicolas Pages 


In Learning from Las Vegas (1977), 

Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, 

and Steven Izenour, as a call to 

reinvigorate architectural design 

with symbolic content, advocated 

the study of the commercial strip 

and in particular, the role that signs 

play in conveying meaning and 

providing order to the landscape. 

In this artist’s book Learning from 

Martigny, Valentin Carron offers 

a photo-documentation of his 

surroundings – the sources for 

some of his works – intertwined with 

images of his sculptures or paintings. 

If Carron’s sculptures mark a renewal 

of appropriation through the reemployment 

of vernacular forms 

that are not part of the dominant 

culture, the artist develops project 

confusing genres. Neither authentic 

nor kitsch, neither readymade nor 

really craft, his objects play with 

ambiguity (fake wood, fake concrete, 

fake bronze, etc.) and with an 

iconography of power and authority 

(public sculptures or commemorative 

monuments, traditional forms, etc.).

12 Sun Songs

12 Sun Songs is a yellow vinyl 

album made up of covers of pop 

songs about the sun. Aping a 1970s 

concept album, Cranfield and 

Slade present 12 songs arranged 

to represent a day, beginning with 

songs about the sunrise and winding 

down with songs about sunsets. 

Tracks range from classics such as 

George Harrison’s Here Comes the 

Sun and The Kinks’ Waterloo Sunset 

to the lesser-known artists’ songs. 

The album combines field recordings 

made in various Vancouver locations 

with electronic sound and acoustic 

and electric instruments. Based in 

rainy Vancouver, Cranfield and Slade 

are made up of visual artist Kathy 

Slade and artist/musician Brady 

Cranfield, working with musicians 

including Larissa Loyva, Johnny 

Payne and Chris Harris; and special 

guests John Collins and artist 

Rodney Graham. The liner notes 

were written by celebrated Canadian 

poet and critic Peter Culley. This 

record is part of the artists’ book

Ryan Trecartin & Lizzie Fitch 

texts by Thomas Beard, Raphael Gygax, 

Ed Halter 

edited by Raphael Gygax 

The work of this group of American 

artists creates an overwhelming, 

colour-charged aesthetic with 

an excessive density of content, 

reacting to the consumer-oriented 

condition of Western society. 

In their image-spaces the four 

collaborations address a culture of 

excess, constructing their critique 

via a form of appropriation, which 

simultaneously releases a veritable 

deluge of images. In the tradition 

of experimental film and Scatter art 

they probe potential unconventional 

narrative patterns and test for the 

disintegration of stereotypes. As 

a result, the video works are often 

shown in sculptural settings, in 

which fragments of pop culture and 

handcrafted forms are amalgamated 

into a multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk.

Everything You Always 

Wanted to Know About 

Gallerists But Were 

Afraid to Ask 

edited by Andrea Bellini 

The 51 gallery owners from Europe, 

the Americas, and Asia interviewed in 

this book talk about their relationship 

with artists, what they love (and 

hate) about their work, the changes 

the art world has undergone since 

they started at the end of the 1980s, 

and thus give precious insights 

and advice to collectors and upand-coming 

players in the field. At 

this time of an all-encompassing 

hybridization of roles (critics and 

curators becoming dealers, artists 

acting as curators, fair managers 

becoming curators, etc.), the 

observations included in this volume 

provide an extraordinary snapshot 

of today’s art system, reflecting its 

culture, strategies, and attitudes. 

Andrea Bellini, former US Editor of 

Flash Art and Curatorial Advisor at 

P.S.1/MoMA, was the Director of the 

Artissima fair in Turin until 2009 and 

has been appointed new director of 

Castello di Rivoli, Turin.

Kota Ezawa 

Odessa Staircase Redux 

edited by Kathy Slade 

Odessa Staircase Redux is a kind of 

flipbook revisiting the well-known film 

sequence from Sergei Eisenstein’s 

Battleship Potemkin. The first frame 

of every cut is drawn in black ink 

by hand. The ensuing series of 153 

ink drawings is organised to form 

a typology of camera angles and 

subject matter that in turn creates 

a new animation of the scene in 

the mind of the viewer. Kota Ezawa 

depicts iconic moments from art 

history, film, photography, and 

popular culture and re-presents them 

as animated videos, slide projections, 

light boxes, and prints. The work’s 

paired down minimalist aesthetic 

helps to streamline Ezawa’s focus on 

the changing role of the camera and 

its effect on the viewer´s reception.

Facing Pistoletto 

text by Andrea Bellini 

edited by Andrea Bellini 

This volume gathers together, for the 

first time, extensive documentation 

on Michelangelo Pistoletto’s theatre 

and performative works of the 

1960s and 1970s. A fundamental 

but overlooked aspect of Pistoletto’s 

work is its emphasis on collaboration 

and participation. In 1967 his studio 

became a meeting place for poets, 

actors, and film people. Out of this 

emerged the heterogeneous Zoo 

group, a ‘creative collaborative’ 

that was active between 1968 

and 1971. The Zoo performed a 

series of actions in streets and 

piazzas throughout Italy, a kind of 

spontaneous and chaotic theatre. 

The history of Zoo is told with 

great passion by the artist in a long 

discussion with Andrea Bellini. He 

also evokes Arte Povera, his works 

of the 1980s, as well as more recent 

projects he realised in the 1990s. 

Includes photographs by leading 

Italian photographers such as Ugo 

Mulas and Paolo Mussat Sartor.

Richard Hamilton 

Le Grand Déchiffreur 

texts by Corinne Diserens, Marcel Duchamp, 

Richard Hamilton, Gesine Tosin 

edited by Corinne Diserens, Gesine Tosin 

For more than 50 years Richard 

Hamilton engaged in an intense 

and incredibly erudite dialogue 

with the work of Marcel Duchamp. 

His typographic translation of the 

notes that surround Duchamp’s 

masterpiece The Bride Stripped 

Bare by her Bachelors, Even, was 

published in 1960. Six years later, 

Hamilton finished reconstructing the 

Large Glass for the retrospective 

The Almost Complete Works of 

Marcel Duchamp at Tate Gallery, 

London. The correspondence 

initiated in 1956 between the 

two artists, reveals on the one 

hand Hamilton’s ongoing creative 

penetration of his ideas, and on 

the other the existence of a close, 

friendly relationship that developed 

between them. In the course of 

two long conversations Hamilton 

questioned Duchamp about his youth 

and the concept of the readymades, 

as well as his vision of the artist. 

The selection of texts, letters, and 

interviews that constitute this book 

attest to the complicity between these 

two major figures.

How to Do Things with Art: 

The Significance of Art’s 

Performativity 

texts by Hans Ulrich Obrist, 

Dorothea von Hantelmann 

edited by Karen Marta 

At the heart of How to Do Things 

with Art lies the question of art’s 

relevance to society. How does 

art become politically or socially 

significant? This book attempts to 

answer this question on a theoretical 

level, and to indicate, through 

the analysis of works by James 

Coleman, Daniel Buren, Jeff Koons, 

and Tino Sehgal, how artists can 

create and shape social relevance; 

in other words, to provide what 

could be called a pragmatic 

understanding of art’s societal 

impact. If Hantelmann’s line of 

argument is based on the two 

theoretical premises of Langshaw 

Austin’s and Judith Butler’s notion of 

‘performativity’, this book offers a real 

semantic of how an artwork, 

not in spite of, but rather by virtue of 

its integration in certain conventions, 

‘acts’.

Hilke Wagner 

Marine Hugonnier’s work, which she 

describes herself as ‘a politics of 

vision’, is rooted in the observation 

of the fact that what we apprehend 

visually depends on the point of 

view we adopt. The artist explores, 

at the border of documentary and 

fiction, the various modalities of 

cinema and deals with ethical issues 

associated with the production of 

images, specifically moving images. 

The films she produces are usually 

presented as installations that evolve 

according to the exhibition venue. 

Widely distributed in film festivals, 

they now exceed the strict context of 

contemporary art to reach the field 

of visual anthropology. Published

In Numbers is a survey of 

approximately 60 serial publications,

artists from around the world. Amid 

historical groundswells like the rise 

of the little press in the 1960s, the 

correspondence art movement of 

the early 1970s, and the DIY culture 

of zines in the 1980s and early 

1990s, professional artists have 

seized on the format of magazines 

and postcards as sites for a new 

kind of art production. These are 

not publications that feature news 

items, criticism, manifestos, or 

reproductions of artworks, but 

are themselves artworks, often 

collaborative and idiosyncratic. This 

book documents the history of each 

publication (its inception, production, 

distribution, and significance) 

together with a thorough, completely 

illustrated bibliography for each title.

Romanian artists of the younger 

generation. Designed by Ludovic 

Balland in close collaboration with 

the artist, the publication is produced 

as an independent project alongside 

Knorr’s comprehensive survey 

exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel. 

The book contains a selection of 

Knorr’s works and includes studies 

for unrealised projects, as well 

as additional visual material from 

various sources to accompany the 

six newly commissioned essays. 

This publication, with its unusual 

graphic design, partly inspired by 

Japanese mangas, as well as its 

carefully selected composition of 

texts, will remain a source 

publication on Daniel Knorr’s work 

for years to come.

Ingeborg Lüscher 

Zauberfotos / Magician Photos 

text by Hans-Joachim Müller 

edited by Peter Fischer 

For over 30 years, the Swiss artist 

Ingeborg Lüscher has been inviting 

friends, neighbours, and time and 

time again fellow artists to play her 

‘magician’ game. The participants 

decide on the place and the props, 

while the leader of the game stands 

behind her camera and takes 18 

shots of which she selects nine, and 

arranges them in a fixed order. Thus, 

without any taxonomy, a collection of 

contemporary self-representations 

has grown up, which have long since 

taken on the characteristics of an 

original portrait gallery. The Magician 

Photos occupy a central place in 

Lüscher’s work and they are her 

oldest and most extensive project, 

still not complete today, and really 

never capable of being finished. This 

book brings together more than a 

hundred selected ‘sessions’ ranging 

over three decades – from James 

Lee Byars to Andy Warhol, and from 

Paul Thek to Lawrence Weiner. 

Published with the Kunstmuseum 

Luzern, Lucerne.

Ari Marcopoulos 

Within Arm’s Reach 

edited and text by Stephanie Cannizzo 

Ari Marcopoulos went to live 

and work in New York in 1979 

and quickly became part of the 

downtown art scene that included 

up-and-coming artists such as 

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring 

and Robert Mapplethorpe. Since 

then, Marcopoulos has become 

recognised as a key documentarian 

of contemporary culture as it unfolds: 

recording the emerging hip-hop 

scene, shooting snowboarders 

hurtling down a vertical mountain 

face, or chronicling the vicissitudes 

of his own family life. Marcopoulos 

appears to have an uncanny 

connection with the people he 

photographs, from Andy Warhol to 

Kiki Smith, John Cage to LL Cool 

J, and many other characters both 

famous and unknown. His self-taught 

style brings his subjects in close and 

captures, without sentimentality or 

voyeurism, the intimate essence of 

their daily lives.

Gian Paolo Minelli 

The Skin of the Cities 

text by Tobia Bezzola 

edited by Jürg Trösch 

Minelli was raised in Chiasso 

(Switzerland), but has lived and 

worked for some years mainly in 

Buenos Aires. These photographs 

were taken in thematic series, often 

over an extended period. The choice 

of images is designed to demonstrate 

that behind the various work cycles, 

portraits, urban landscapes of 

the Piedra Buena barrio, awnings 

suspended over parking lots, 

props left behind in the abandoned 

Teatro Colón, the eloquent walls 

of the former Cárcel de Caseros 

penitentiary, and the portraits of 

illegal immigrants in Rome, there lies 

a common, powerful approach. 

The expressive power of an 

individual artistic style and a 

considered method give rise 

to images that refuse to be 

constrained by the boundaries of 

genre. Architectural photography 

becomes a social document, and 

social reportage becomes an artistic 

project. Published with Codax

Not to Play with 

Dead Things 

texts by Julien Bismuth, Patricia Brignone, 

Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, Gérard Wajcman, 

Catherine Wood 

edited by Marie de Brugerolle, Eric Mangion 

From its Futurist and Dadaist 

outbursts in the 1910s and 1920s 

to Body art in the 1970s and the 

new theatrical forms of the 2000s, 

the history of performance art is 

seemingly built on the same set of 

elements – movements, speech, the 

body, transience, audience-orientated 

actions, etc. These constituents 

often stand for a definition of a 

genre, which always refused to 

take on traditional aesthetic forms. 

Nevertheless, through history, 

more than simple traces were left 

of this art: artists also produced 

real installations whose status is 

ambiguous once the action is over, 

as well as ‘performative objects’. The 

exhibition and this catalogue question 

the nature and the relevance of 

these ‘objects’ in contemporary 

practices. Gathering together various 

essays, the book documents works 

by numerous artists including Paul 

McCarthy, Mike Kelley, John Bock, 

Spartacus Chetwynd, Catherine 

Sullivan and Erwin Wurm.

Battery City: A Post-Olympic 

Beijing Mini-Marathon 

texts by Hans Ulrich Obrist 

edited by Hu Fan 

On New Year’s Eve 2008, 

Hans Ulrich Obrist conducted a 

‘marathon’ of conversations in 

Beijing, addressing artists, cultural 

producers, and media practitioners 

about the post-Olympic state of 

the city. Asking artists Ai Weiwei 

and Caoi Fei, writer and publisher 

Hung Huang, and fashion designer 

Zhang Da, among other participants, 

how they were understanding and 

living through the changes Chinese 

society is undergoing, how they 

were evaluating the impact of such 

a mediated event as the Olympic 

Games or the role of the internet in 

their daily lives, Hans Ulrich Obrist 

attempted to map the mindset of the 

creative people of a city on the move.

edited by Sigismond de Vajay 

Curated and compiled by Sigismond 

de Vajay, Of Bridges & Borders is 

a project in a book form. It brings 

together artists and writers, combines 

a range of singular positions, 

chronicles contributions whose 

formats vary as widely as their 

content, and aims to create new 

readings by proximity, difference, 

comparison, and contradiction. 

Chronologically, it spans the period 

after the fall of the Berlin Wall to the 

present; conceptually, it contains 

a broad range of works made in 

a variety of media, all of them 

dynamically joined in a manner 

that consciously contrasts with the 

traditional encyclopedia structure. 

Including contributions by Chris 

Burden, Thomas Hirschhorn, 

Santiago Sierra, Antoni Muntadas, 

Liam Gillick, Dan Perjovschi, 

Elmgreen & Dragset, etc. Of Bridges 

& Borders attempts to reflect a 

contemporary global memory in a 

free art world with more bridges 

than borders.

Figures of Speech 

text by Will Holder 

edited by Will Holder, Falke Pisano 

‘Largely based in a performative 

practice of writing – of formulating 

and reformulating of ideas – the 

works (on which this publication is 

based, and) that exist under the 

umbrella title Figures of Speech, 

involve a circulation and exchange 

of language, ideas and forms; A 

transfer from one work to another 

often involving a change of status, 

a reflection within a different context 

or a further elaboration on an idea. 

Several formulations come back in 

different works; formulations of ideas 

for works become works; descriptions 

of works are used in preceding or 

following works and there is an 

exchange between descriptive or 

explanatory texts about the work and 

the work itself.’ (Falke Pisano) This

edited by Claire Gilman, Margaret Sundell 

Responding to the rapid, often violent 

transformations of the 21st century, 

artists have displayed a growing 

desire to activate art’s documentary 

capacity: its ability to bear witness to 

things in the world. The Storyteller 

exhibition isolates an overlooked 

yet vital strand within this broader 

tendency: the use of the story form 

in contemporary art as a means 

of comprehending and conveying 

recent social and political events. 

In some cases, the artist’s story 

takes the form of an invented drama 

based on real events; in others, it 

adopts universalising literary genres 

such as the fairytale or the quest; 

in still others, there is a dialogue or 

exchange between active participants 

in a contemporary political situation.

The Razzle-Dazzle of Thinking 

texts by Anne Dressen, Bruce Hainley, 

Fabrice Hergott, Elaine Sturtevant 

edited by Anne Dressen 

Since the mid-1970s, Sturtevant, a 

key artistic and, today, mythic figure 

for young contemporary artists, has 

been working on aesthetic, political 

and media issues. Dealing with the 

concepts of appropriation, value 

and originality, she mainly achieved 

recognition for her works that consist 

entirely of copies of other artists’ 

iconic works, such as Warhol, 

Duchamp, Beuys and Stella. Her 

gesture of replication has created 

a body of painting, sculpture, video 

and photographic works, which is 

still intriguing and provoking for 

both an informed and a general 

audience. This monograph, which 

was designed in close collaboration 

with the artist, offers a compilation of 

her writings – mainly unpublished – a 

selection of essays on her work and 

life, as well as a specific iconography.

moderne de la Ville de Paris, in

Yann Sérandour 

Inside the White Cube: 

Overprinted Edition 

texts and edited by Jérôme Saint-Loubert Bié, 

Yann Sérandour 

This publication functions as a 

palimpsest: constructed on the 

reprint of the first French translation 

of Brian O’Doherty’s influential book 

Inside the White Cube (published by 

JRP|Ringier in the series Lectures 

Maison Rouge), it superimposes 

reproductions and commentaries of 

Yann Sérandour’s work. Sérandour’s 

interstitial and mimetic proposals 

stem from pre-existing works or 

publications, whose meaning and 

problematics are thus reactivated. 

Inscribing himself in a conceptual 

heritage, the artist is prolonging 

historical gestures or manifestations 

by infiltrating and parasiting them. 

This practice of détournement is 

a way of reviving the (sometimes 

latent) stakes and significations of 

appropriated elements, as well as 

a way to interrogate their historical, 

political, and aesthetic dimensions.

Voici un dessin Suisse 

Swiss Drawings 

1990 – 2010 

texts by Christoph Lichtin, Dominique 

Radrizzani, Christoph Vögele and others 

edited by Julie Enckell-Juillard 

For many decades drawing has 

occupied a central position within 

artists’ practices in Switzerland. If 

the medium was connected to a 

conceptual strain in the 1970s, it was 

its link with painting and personal 

expression that made it a subject of 

many exhibitions in the 1980s. In the 

1990s and the 2000s it both revived 

classic formats and developed 

through new techniques and spatial 

possibilities. This publication, realised 

with the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, an 

institution dedicated to the study and 

conservation of works on paper since 

the 2000s, attempts to map the new 

contours of this medium in the 21st 

century, through the presentation 

of contributions by more than 40 

artists and 10 writers, all active 

in Switzerland. Published on the 

occasion of the exhibition at Musée 

Rath, Geneva, March – August 2010.

Martin Szekely

edited by Martin Szekely 

Paris-based Martin Szekely is one 

of the most acclaimed designers 

of his generation, working 

simultaneously for industry – with 

international companies such as 

Nestlé, Heineken, and Hermès – 

on private commissions, and on 

limited-production creations. Since 

the beginning of the 1980s, his 

work has developed as a ‘return to 

the source’ of furniture, deploying 

an aesthetic drawn from the 

reduction of gestures and attention 

to materials, rather than through a 

form of minimalism, with which it is 

often associated. Combining cuttingedge 

technology with conceptual 

simplicity, he uses materials such 

as concrete and wood, cork and 

marble. This monograph, one of the 

rare books about Martin Szekely, 

puts together an essay by French art 

critic Elisabeth Lebovici alongside 

unpublished notes by the designer.

edited by Jean-Pierre Criqui 

This monograph on the French 

artist was published on the 

occasion of his major project at 

Versailles. Through his portraits 

and landscapes, his bestiary and 

his architectures, Veilhan pursues 

a constantly regenerated reflection 

on the status of representation 

and the materialisation of an idea. 

A manufacturer of the visible, he 

invents works, images, and objects 

that hesitate between the familiar and 

the strange. Interested in modernity 

and using references ranging from 

classical statuary to Futurism and Op 

art, Veilhan has been compared to 

artists such as Damien Hirst and Jeff 

Koons. For art historian Jean-Pierre 

Criqui he is ‘a perfect example of a 

Pop artist for the 21st century, with 

an accessible formal vocabulary and 

referents, while at the same time 

cultivating a certain air of detachment 

and reserve in his use of affects…’

Raffael Waldner 

Car Crash Studies 2001 – 2010 

texts by Christoph Doswald, Mike Schlüter 

edited by Christoph Doswald 

Zurich-based artist Raffael Waldner 

has developed an extensive and 

complex body of work called Car 

Crash Studies featuring the world 

of sports and luxury cars, and the 

relics that are left by accidents in 

these expensive vehicles. Using his 

camera, he systematically documents 

the results of such chance accidents, 

the wrecked cars and their location. 

Caught on camera, his arrangements 

of scrap can be understood as 

nature mortes – the cruel still lifes 

of a society that puts its faith in 

technology and mobility, symbols of 

loss and death. Waldner’s oeuvre 

is not that of a chronicler but of an 

object researcher. ‘My focus is on 

the impact of violence,’ he says, 

‘and the way it changes the product. 

I’m interested in the typology of the 

remains’. This typology, researched 

and documented through numerous 

night-time forays into the scrap yards 

of vehicle breakdown services, is a 

contemporary interpretation of the 

Vanitas theme.

These fundamental questions 

about the origins, conditions and 

possibilities of art continue to be 

asked – even by artists themselves. 

The answers show that, for most of 

them, art is of existential importance, 

practically a condition of what it 

is to be human, and also a filter 

through which the world is read 

or ‘an allergic reaction to reality’. 

This book shows us how the artists 

themselves perceive and experience 

art: openly and clearly, cryptically 

and secretively, comfortably and 

unbearably – all at once.

edited by Martin Hentschel 

For many years, Blaise Drummond 

has been examining the 

relationship between nature and 

culture. This manifests itself in 

his oeuvre, particularly in the way 

that he juxtaposes architecture 

and landscape. Drummond has 

developed a wide-ranging scenario 

of paintings, colour drawings, 

collages and objects for the Museum 

Haus Lange. At the heart of the 

exhibition is a dead tree, the top 

of which seems to be growing 

through the ceiling – reminiscent 

of Le Corbusier’s programmatic 

building Pavillon de l´Esprit Nouveau, 

which featured an indoor tree that 

grew up into the outside world. At 

the same time, the work acts as a 

reference to the dashed hopes of 

early Modernism. Published on the

The Universal Declaration of Human

‘violations of human rights seem to 

be like images on large billboards: 

people only see them from the other 

side of the road’. (Juli Zeh) 

El Dorado, legendary land of gold 

in South America, provides the 

metaphor and title for this exhibition 

and catalogue, which examines the 

promise of global recognition and 

implementation of human rights, a 

promise that is far from being kept. 

The artists gathered here raise 

awareness of crises, and, since they 

illustrate these conflicts or visualise 

violations of human rights, the 

drawings, photographs, video pieces, 

sculptures and installations also work 

on an abstract level.

Allen Jones 

Showtime 

text by Belinda Grace Gardner 

Dimly lit jazz clubs, cocktail bars, 

circus, theatre and magic shows 

permeate the erotically charged 

work of British painter and leading 

exponent of classic Pop Art, Allen 

Jones. His paintings, featuring 

dancers and lovers, express 

dazzling energies of illusion and 

fantasy. Caught between the world 

of dreams and reality, changing 

scenes full of illusion and magic 

point to the power of fantasy and 

the artistic vision. Jones uses such 

scenes to address the major themes 

of human existence: the cycle of 

eternal recurrence but also the 

creative energy of transformation 

as the quintessence of life and art. 

At the heart of his work lies the 

magical power of love, which unites 

opposites and generates something 

new from the alliance of female and 

male principles. The goddess of love 

and beauty thus plays a crucial role 

in Jones’ aesthetic. Published on 

the occasion of the exhibition Allen 

Jones: Showtime at Galerie Levy,

Artists’ Books 1958 – 2009: 

Catalogue Raisonné 

edited by Matthias Haldemann 

The book has always played a pivotal 

role in the work of Ilya Kabakov. 

Initially successful as an illustrator 

of children’s books in the Soviet 

Union, the book was the impetus for 

his visual artistic activity. The book 

has remained Kabakov’s constant 

companion. On the one hand, it is 

used to present new projects. On 

the other, it is the medium used 

to document these projects once 

they have been realised. The book 

accompanies Kabakov’s visual work 

but that is not its only purpose, it 

has always also been crucial in 

terms of the visual art itself. As 

always with Kabakov, there is no 

distinction between artistic practice 

and discourse. This applies also to 

this catalogue raisonné, which turns 

out to be a paradoxical construction 

– it is both an academic work and an 

artist’s book.

concepts that critically address the 

surprise potential of digital special 

effects. In contrast to the traditional 

representation of illusion, in which 

artists have to conceal the technical 

process of producing the picture in 

order to achieve the perfect illusion, 

both the work of art that has been 

created and the process used to 

create it are now deliberately to the 

fore. Citing a number of selected 

artists, Optical Illusion traces the 

variety of ways in which illusion is 

used in contemporary art.

A ‘school’ of photography, although 

it was never described as such, 

evolved alongside the famous Leipzig 

School of painters who taught at the 

Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst 

in Leipzig in the 1980s. Taking 19th 

and 20th century social-democratic 

traditions and 1930s American 

photography as its starting point, a 

generation of photographers grew 

up under the influence of teaching 

artists like Arno Fischer, Evelyn 

Richter, Wolfgang G. Schröter 

and Helfried Strauß, all of whom 

developed a subjective idiom when 

looking at relationships in the former 

East Germany.

Robert Rauschenberg / 

Jean Tinguely 

Collaborations 

texts by Jean-Paul Ameline, Mari Dumett, 

Manuela Kraft, Annja Muller-Alsbach, 

Heinz Stahlhut 

When Jean Tinguely went to New 

York for the first time in 1960, his 

reputation as an iconoclast went 

before him. He soon presented his 

‘suicidal machine’, Homage to New 

York, which included a contribution 

from Robert Rauschenberg: Money 

Thrower for Jean Tinguely’s H.T.N.Y. 

– his first kinetic object. This was 

intended as a talisman and heralded 

many years of collaboration between 

the two artists who wanted to re-unite 

art with life and whose collaborative 

work aimed to overcome the 

restricted nature of the individual 

artist and to achieve greater 

artistic freedom. This catalogue 

documents the collaborative projects 

and friendship of Tinguely and 

Rauschenberg, who created a new 

arena for art where Neo and Meta- 

Dadaists, Absurdistan, tongue-incheek 

wit and a critical and analytical 

incisiveness came together.

edited by Beate Reifenscheid 

Daniel Spoerri was one of the 

artists who signed the Nouveau 

Réalisme manifesto in Paris 1960; 

he also opened Restaurant Spoerri 

in Düsseldorf in 1968, introducing 

his concept of Eat Art, which dealt 

with an issue from everyday life 

– food, its creation and its decay. 

Even today, he is still known for the 

Eat Art concepts he created from 

1959 to 1965 in a rented room in 

Hotel Carcassonne in Paris and 

which he developed in connection 

with his famous trap pictures and 

tableaux-pièges. This publication 

presents the artist’s replica of the 

Paris room and a great number of 

original trap pictures from 1978 to 

1992, current assemblages of the 

artist’s ‘one-day boxes’ and life-size 

bronzes and sculptures. Published 

on the occasion of the exhibition 

Daniel Spoerri: Eaten by… at Ludwig

Sophie Taeuber-Arp 

Movement and Balance 

texts by Astrid von Asten, Karin Schick 

Sophie Taeuber-Arp, one of the 

most innovative artists of the 20th 

century, developed her own personal 

style in painting, sculpture, textiles, 

architecture and interior design. Her 

clear, non-figurative works focus on 

the total harmony of form and colour, 

rhythm and balance and consistently 

reflect the spirit of Concrete Art. 

Taeuber-Arp, who showed her work 

in a great number of exhibitions, 

was a member of international art 

associations as well as a teacher of 

textile design. She also performed as 

a dancer, and is the only woman to 

be represented on a Swiss banknote: 

the 50-franc note. This catalogue 

presents the work of the artist in an 

exhibition for the first time in the town 

of her birth in the Kirchner Museum 

Davos and in the Arp Museum 

Bahnhof Rolandseck.

Ann Wolff 

LIVE 

texts by Mark Gisbourne, Birgit Möckel 

edited by Uli Seitz 

The sculptor Ann Wolff, who was 

influential in the European studio 

glass movement of the late 1970s, 

took a new direction in her work 

at the end of the 1990s. A unique 

series of works has been created that 

examine themes like the individual 

figure with regard to groups of 

figures, as well as work on abstract 

geometrical shapes with reference to 

the body and space. Wolff creates a 

virtuoso treatment of the individual, 

internal conditions of glass in her 

sculptural themes. Outlines and 

tactile surfaces, reversals of inside 

and out, creation of space and 

the fusion of layers and shapes all 

become meaningful. The sculpture 

has an immaterial quality. This 

catalogue provides a view of Wolff’s 

sculptural and graphic oeuvre of the 

last eight years.

Allora & Calzadilla 

& Etcetera 

This artist’s book presents a selection 

of images that Allora & Calzadilla 

have collected over the course of a 

decade. None of these images are 

documentation or research for any 

particular work. Rather, they present 

a parallel component to their practice, 

and are presented in this book as 

a succession of pairings, organised 

in a non-illustrative and ultimately 

intuitive arrangement. This series of 

pictures can be understood as an 

independent, intuitive composition, 

which offers insight into the artists’ 

thinking and methodology. Arranged 

in pairs of pictures, this is a sequence 

of paintings, illustrations and 

photographs, which don’t follow any 

illustrative or conclusive order, but 

rather reveal a contradictory system 

of interests and motivations.

This Hammer Means Business 

This new artist’s book by Monica 

Bonvicini is a series of illustrations 

of her work over the past 10 years, 

counterbalanced by documentation 

of the places she has worked and 

exhibited in. A visual essay that 

enables insight into the ‘making’ and 

‘building’ of art through a stringent 

black and white design. With her 

sculptures, videos, installations and 

photographs, Bonvicini has long 

critiqued and deconstructed the 

presumed neutrality of architecture 

and modern art. ‘I am interested in 

architecture as a whole. You can, 

if you wish, avoid people, but you 

always have to deal with architecture. 

Memory and identity cannot exist 

without architecture: it is something 

indispensable and elementary but 

at the same time it can develop in 

virtuous forms of all kinds.’ (Monica 

Bonvicini)

The Scripted Life 

texts by Beatrice von Bismarck, 

Colin Richards, Okwui Enwezor, 

Edgar Schmitz 

edited by Yilmaz Dziewior 

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 

will be 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’s 

oeuvre to form the scholarly 

backbone of this catalogue raisonné

Carsten Höller, Erika Giovanna Klien, Lu Qing, 

Aleksandra Mir, Lisi Raskin, Ludwig Reutterer, 

Wilhelm Rösler, Ed Ruscha, Anri Sala, Roman 

Signer, Xavier Veilhan 

The group exhibition Catch Me! and 

this accompanying catalogue deal 

with the phenomenon of acceleration 

– the personal experience of 

speed relative to time and space. 

The selected works are about 

the fascination of the heightened 

situation, the thrill of acceleration 

or the intoxication of speed. Speed 

as an experienceable phenomenon 

is either excessive and idealised 

or – as in Paul Virilio’s formative text 

Polar Inertia, which, in a sense, forms 

the foundation of the theoretical 

discourse of the exhibition – 

problematised and nigh on doomed. 

Beginning with the piece High-Speed 

Gardening by Ed Ruscha, the 

exhibition represents the attempt to 

choreograph a group of works and 

as such, Catch Me! is a libretto to the 

layout of the exhibition space.

Aaron Curry 

Bad Dimension 

This is the first monograph devoted 

to Curry’s work and it contains 

illustrations of all the works on 

display in his Bergamo and Hanover 

exhibitions in 2009 – 2010, together 

with a comprehensive selection 

of works from 2006. Aaron Curry 

explores art history in the last 

century and the contemporary visual 

landscape through an intermingling 

of styles, forms and images blending 

past and present, avant-garde and 

mass culture. He traces a history of 

human figuration for which Cubism 

and Surrealism are pivotal, but 

contaminates the reference to this 

tradition with a complex series of 

allusions to phenomena such as 

graffiti art, American folklore, sci-fi 

imagery and craftsmanship. Curry 

sets into motion a continuous 

oscillation between the twodimensional 

image and the language 

of sculpture, causing the memory 

of artists such as Alexander Calder, 

Isamu Noguchi and Henry Moore 

to converge in a broader reflection 

about both abstraction and the 

pop image.

A Conversation about the 

Exhibition with Hans Ulrich 

Obrist, Berlin 2009 

This book provides information 

about the method, strategy and 

accountability of this political artist. It 

was Thomas Demand’s express wish 

to talk with Hans Ulrich Obrist about 

his exhibition in the Nationalgalerie 

Berlin in Autumn 2009. This 

extensive solo show (September – 

January 2010) is taken up by one 

of the most important themes in the 

artist’s richly diverse body of work: 

Germany. The 40 or so works on 

display deal with social and historical 

events that have taken place in 

Germany, predominantly since 1945. 

It is no coincidence that the exhibition 

also coincides with the anniversaries 

of two pivotal historical events in 

German history: the foundation of 

the Federal Republic of Germany 60 

years ago and the fall of the Berlin 

Wall 20 years ago.

Published to accompany the 

ground breaking presentation 

of contemporary design at the 

Serpentine Gallery, London 

(November 2009 – February 2010), 

curated by the influential German 

product designer Konstantin Grcic. 

His selection for Design Real focuses 

on ‘real’ items all conceived in the 

last decade: mass-produced products 

that have a practical function in 

everyday life. ‘What interests me 

about industrial design is how 

these things are made, in what 

material, and how this has affected 

their language and their quality’ 

(Konstantin Grcic). This catalogue 

presents a wide range of products 

with different styles and functions, 

from furniture and household 

products to technical and industrial 

innovations. With objects from wellknown 

designers Jasper Morrison, 

Ross Lovegrove and Zaha Hadid, 

as well as products by anonymous 

designers, the exhibition provides 

new perspectives from which to look 

at the material world around us, 

encouraging new insights into design.

The themes discussed are diverse, 

with much focus on individual Farocki 

films, beginning with the early 

political, Marxist, educational films, 

via his cinema direct films and his 

essay films, up to his recent films and 

installations, which for the most make 

use of found footage of the most

Another Book 

texts by Hans-Peter Feldmann, Helena Tatay, 

Jacob Fabricius, Teresa Velazquez 

edited by Helena Tatay 

It is impossible to capture the number 

of images Feldmann has collected 

from magazines, books and with 

his own roving camera. The ‘book’ 

is the format that brings structure 

and order to Feldmann’s shuffled 

deck of images such as knees of 

women, shoes, chairs, unmade beds, 

bicycles and portraits. Feldmann 

recognises the problematic nature 

of pictures and art in a culture 

constantly bombarded by images. 

He does not discard either mass 

produced or amateur photographs; 

on the contrary, he embraces 

them in his work as if they were 

his own and offers them equal 

value. By embracing, accepting 

and placing images of common 

objects, monuments, situations and 

appearances in series, Feldmann at 

once neutralises and relates them, 

creating a tension between their 

similarities and differences. Includes 

a conversation between Hans-Peter 

Feldmann and Kaspar König.

Bethan Huws 

texts by Veit Görner, Ariane Beyn, Kristin 

Schrader, Julian Heynen, Bethan Huws 

Bethan Huws’ textual work and 

her elaborate examination of the 

artist Marcel Duchamp´s oeuvre 

show her affinity with conceptual 

art. Huws’ strategy of taking on 

Duchamp’s work in films, texts 

or wall paintings can be seen as 

a particular kind of appropriation 

art. Published to accompany the 

exhibition Il est comme un saint 

dans sa niche: Il ne bouge pas (He 

is like a saint in its niche: He does 

not move) in the kestnergesellschaft, 

Hannover, 5 March – 24 May 2010. 

The exhibition title uses the familiar 

French expression to describe 

someone or something unwilling 

to move. In this context it refers 

to the nature of works of art: They 

are fixed, unchanging objects. 

That which remains highly flexible, 

however, is the individual process of 

comprehension in which the viewer 

is engaged. This title explores the 

different levels of Huws’ work in 

connection with Marcel Duchamp.

Chêne de Weekend

afterword by Kasper König 

Chêne de Weekend was conceived

presents her work from the last three 

years in text and image. Her huge 

paintings illustrate interiors and 

reference interior design drafts from 

the 19th century. In the paintings, 

which are up to eight metres tall, 

she uses the historical technique 

of trompe-l’œil painting and 

exhibits them like pieces of theatre 

scenery in museums in Edinburgh, 

San Francisco, New York and 

Cologne. Lucy Mckenzie explains 

the motivation behind her complex 

approach and this is complimented

of her time studying trompe-l’œil 

painting at the Ecole van der Kelen 

(a traditional painting school in 

Brussels) and a homage to the

Yoko Ono / Hans Ulrich 

Obrist 


Yoko Ono talks to Hans Ulrich 

Obrist about her artistic beginnings 

in visual art and music, her musical 

development in New York, her 

contact with John Cage and her own 

musical works such as Unfinished 

Music No. 1 (1968). Essential 

themes such as her Fluxus pieces 

and her well-known engagement for 

world peace and human rights, which 

is reflected in much of her work, 

are brought up over five interviews. 

She gives an account of how she 

founded a new state of Nutopia with 

John Lennon and of her numerous 

installations and performances that 

are still shown time and again. 

In the discussions, in which 

architects and artists such as Rem 

Koolhaas and Gustav Metzger take 

part, the icon of pop history shows 

herself to be a multifaceted and 

interdisciplinary artist.

Ortner & Ortner 

Baukunst vom Tag: 

Architecture Out of 

the Ordinary 

Buildings by the architect duo Ortner 

& Ortner convey a new dynamic 

in the constructed city. This book 

documents their less grand and 

less spectacular, yet all the more 

interesting urban projects from the 

years 2001 – 2009, focusing on 

those from the past two years. Many 

of the 55 examples are published 

here for the first time. Laurids Ortner 

describes the motivation behind 

this book, which was designed by 

the architects themselves, thus: 

‘What is neglected in innumerable 

publications about architecture, 

and indeed repudiated, is the built 

city and everyday buildings. They 

are, however, fundamental in the 

functioning and atmosphere of the 

city. Almost unperceived, they define 

the scenery and mood that can so 

completely captivate us in films’.

Polke & Co. 

We Petty Bourgeois! 

Comrades and 

Contemporaries 

After the monograph on the Wir 

Kleinbürger! (We Petty Bourgeois!) 

series comes this detailed 

documentation of the Sigmar 

Polke exhibition in the Hamburger 

Kunsthalle in 2009 – 2010. The 

10-piece ensemble of large-format 

works on paper mark a turning point 

in the artist’s oeuvre. The boundaries 

of good taste are transcended with 

provocative irony and acerbic wit. 

The three-part exhibition is based 

on the Wir Kleinbürger! series 

and includes work by Polke’s 

contemporaries. Clique is dedicated 

to the artistic exchange of the 1970s; 

Pop to the way art and pop culture 

interacted during this period and 

the third part, Politics, is dedicated 

to political engagement in art. 

Over 100 works from international 

museums and private collections 

have been brought together and 

show the varied and, as yet, largely 

disregarded strategies used in the 

1970s, including photography, film 

and slide works, drawings, paintings, 

documentary material and sketches.

Gerhard Richter 

Abstract Paintings 2009 

text by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh 

The Marian Goodman Gallery, New 

York presented a major show of 

works made by Richter from 2005 to 

the present, including an important 

new cycle of paintings titled Sindbad, 

2008. Also included were individual 

paintings presenting medium to large 

format abstractions, and a new group 

of large scale near-monochrome 

paintings whose underlying chromatic 

structures are layered by translucent 

veils of white paint. In his essay, 

art historian Benjamin Buchloh 

traces the historical and aesthetic 

framework of Richter’s abstract 

paintings and considers the artist’s 

recent white non-representational 

works within the larger context of 

a postwar trajectory of reductivist 

painting in the US and Europe.

Gerhard Richter 

Obrist / O’Brist 

Gerhard Richter and Hans Ulrich 

Obrist have known each other since 

1985. Their collaboration began 

seven years later when the 24-yearold 

Obrist curated his first Richter 

exhibition. The following year he 

published a collection of his writings. 

Gerhard Richter has now dedicated 

an artist’s book to this long-standing 

relationship. The texts in the book 

have been created by rearranging 

interviews by Hans Ulrich Obrist 

using a random generator. These 

are set in blocks without defined 

passages or paragraphs. The colour 

plates are made up of photographs, 

both portraits and mementos, of 

Hans Ulrich Obrist from the past 15 

years and close-ups of Richter’s 

paintings, which Richter has then 

painted over using brushes and 

scrapers. Richter has arranged 

the image, text and interleaf pages 

into a composition that gives the 

book a thrilling dramaturgy. Upside 

down pages appear time and again 

meaning that the book, which has 

two different sleeves, can be viewed 

from both sides.

Jens Risch 

Seidenstück II 

text by Andreas Bee 

Jens Risch spends many hours every 

day tying knots in a 1,000 metre 

long silk thread. Knot upon knot is 

tied until it becomes impossible to 

tie another one and a compact, fistsized 

mass has been created: an 

extremely compressed ball of time. 

Between the 1st of October 2004 

and the 18th of January 2009, Risch 

knotted Seidenstück II (silk piece II). 

The result is concentrated energy 

and at the same time an accolade 

to slowness and a pointed, critical 

comment on issues such as work, 

speed and art production. This artist’s 

book also systematically explains the 

knotting process used by Risch.

Gregor Schneider 

END 

texts by Anita Shah, Susanne Titz 

Gregor Scheider’s work is about 

rooms – visible and invisible, doubled 

and duplicated, labyrinthine rooms 

within rooms. Rather than following 

a particular principle, he observes 

the effects that interventions in the 

common logic of existing architecture 

have on our perception. The result 

is frightening, disorientating and 

in an uncanny way, magically 

fascinating. Presented here are 

two tours that are characteristic 

of his work. These nightmarish 

trips lead us through suppressed 

subconscious experiences, through 

‘black holes’, familiar yet sinister 

spaces, oversized, walk-in sculptures 

with rooms that are doubled or 

duplicated through mirrors and doors. 

The perception of time and space 

becomes warped and the idea of the 

artistic original is scrutinised by this 

continual doubling and repetition. 

This book, the most comprehensive 

monograph on Gregor Schneider 

to date, was designed and 

photographed by the artist himself.

Grond, Boris von Haken, Justin Hoffmann 

edited by Dieter Daniels, Sandra Naumann 

The quiet halls of the museum are 

a thing of the past as many visual 

artists today integrate the world 

of sound in their works. The first 

pioneers in this expanded field of 

artistic practice emerged during the 

1920s. ‘Media Art’ later became a 

means of socio-political engagement 

and a topos of the avant-garde. Major 

technical changes in media and 

audio-visual experiments led again 

and again to new ways of working. 

The project See this Sound aims to 

make several important aspects of 

this diverse relationship between 

image and sound accessible in an 

interdisciplinary way. Featuring works 

by Erik Satie, Fernand Léger, Tony 

Conrad, Stan Brakhage and Nam 

June Paik among many others.

in Hyde Park, which has been used 

as a platform by Karl Marx, Vladimir 

Lenin, George Orwell and William 

Morris, among other political and 

cultural icons. Featuring ‘manifestos’ 

by a diverse range of cultural

edited by Yilmaz Dziewior 

This first comprehensive monograph, 

which is designed by Dirk Stewen 

himself, brings together pieces 

from all of his groups of work. 

These include his well-known dark 

pictures in which unused photo 

paper is blacked-out with ink before 

being transformed into abstract 

compositions using a sewing 

machine and colourful confetti. 

The book also presents his no 

less important watercolours, which 

are inhabited by historical people 

or feature non-figurative shapes 

such as circles or other amorphous 

ensembles. Includes a conversation 

between John Stezaker and 

Dirk Stewen.

Sun Tropes 

Sun City and (Post-)Apartheid 

Culture in South Africa

Goldblatt, Gwen Gill, Kgebetli Moele, Marietta 

Kesting, Aljoscha Weskott, Lucas Ramalthodi, 

Jeanne van Eeden, Miranda Strydom, Shahed 

Saleem, Bridget Kenny 

edited by Marietta Kesting, Aljoscha Weskott 

Sun Tropes follows traces of Sun City 

through South Africa’s history from 

the late 1970s until today. The book 

focuses specifically on the practices 

of entertainment and popular culture 

that have become standard by now. 

As the African imitation of Las Vegas, 

Sun City’s glittering hotel palaces 

reflect the desire of lavishness, 

escapism and the longing for a 

completely artificial time-space. This 

book (re-)constructs the mythical 

location of Sun City on different 

levels: as an historical and visual 

case study; through the incorporation 

of oral history perspectives as a 

fragmented space of post-Apartheid 

memory.

Tatiana Trouvé 

Il Grande Ritratto 

Tatiana Trouvé creates worlds where 

no language is needed. Cast in 

architecture, reflecting the artist’s 

echo and existing, surrounded by 

parapraxes, secrets and hidden 

messages, in emptiness, structures 

full of doubt, expectation and fantasy 

are formed. That the artist should 

refer to the novel Il Grande Ritratto 

by Dino Buzzatti in this world without 

words she explains: ‘The story 

is a literary exploration of a term 

that is particularly important to me: 

secrecy, the secret as a place of 

exile… In this fantastic story about 

secret things, the naming of things 

is not necessarily most important 

in terms of understanding them. As 

the characters in the story put it, 

‘every language is a trap within which 

thinking is caught’ and ‘language is 

the worst enemy of mental clarity’.’

Cerith Wyn Evans / 

Hans Ulrich Obrist 


Cerith Wyn Evans talks to Hans 

Ulrich Obrist in a very open 

manner about his career as a video 

and filmmaker, initially assisting 

Derek Jarman, and then making 

experimental films during the 1980s. 

Since the 1990s, his work could 

be characterised by its focus on 

language and perception, as well as 

its precise, conceptual clarity that is 

often developed out of the context of 

the exhibition site or its history. For 

him, he states, installations should 

work like a catalyst: a reservoir of 

possible meanings that can unravel 

many discursive journeys. Moreover, 

his work has a highly refined 

aesthetic that is often informed by 

this deep interest in film history 

and literature.

Len Grant Photography 


Billy and Rolonde 

Len Grant 

A heroin addict, an asylum seeker, 

a homeless alcoholic. For over 

two years photographer and writer 

Len Grant joined the unseen and 

the excluded on their journeys 

of survival. Barbara, a 70-yearold 

Zimbabwean asylum seeker 

becomes increasingly depressed as 

she’s moved from one shared house 

to another, trying to stay afloat on 

the £35 a week in vouchers offered 

to ‘failed’ asylum seekers. Middleaged 

Allan is about the same age 

as Grant but their lives could not be 

more different. Some weeks drunk, 

some weeks sober, only the support 

of a voluntary group keeps Allan from 

going under altogether. Billy is now in 

his 30s and has been a heroin addict 

all his adult life. But he’s had enough. 

Taking Grant’s interest in him as an 

incentive to come through a tough 

detox and rehabilitation programme, 

he allows the photographer into 

his life before and after drugs. In 

Billy and Rolonde, Grant starts out 

as a documentary photographer 

of the socially excluded but finds it 

impossible to remain an objective 

observer.

Revolutionary 

Decadence 

Foreign Artists in Budapest 

Since 1989 

edited by Maja Fowkes, Reuben Fowkes 

The revolutions of 1989 transformed 

the art scenes of Eastern Europe, 

ushering in an era of greater 

openness and international 

integration against the backdrop of 

cultural globalisation. Revolutionary 

Decadence deals with the influx 

of foreign artists to the capitals of 

the region and their contribution 

to the spread of a post-national 

understanding of contemporary art. 

This exhibition publication, in addition 

to theoretical contributions, includes 

interviews with Budapest-based 

artists from Japan to Moldova and 

Scotland to Brazil that investigate the 

experience of otherness, diversity 

and trans-cultural belonging in the 

context of post-communist Eastern 

Europe. Revolutionary Decadence 

is the third in a trilogy of publications 

and follows Revolution is not a 

Garden Party (2007) and Revolution I 

Love You (2008).

Gilberto Zorio 

text by Martin Holman 

foreword by Michael Stanley 

edited by Emma Dean, Michael Stanley 

Gilberto Zorio belongs to a 

generation of Italian artists who in 

the mid 1960s pioneered a radical 

and distinguished artistic movement 

which later became known as Arte 

Povera. Through the use of often 

modest and humble materials, these 

artists posed profound questions 

about the very nature of human 

existence which still resonate today. 

Combining new site-specific work 

with historical pieces tracing points 

of his practice for the installation at 

Milton Keynes, Zorio choreographed 

elemental forces, chemical reactions 

and industrial forms into a vibrant 

environmental experience brimming 

with awe and wonder. Published to 

accompany Gilberto Zorio’s first solo 

exhibition in the UK (October 2008 – 

January 2009).

Topography

‘My work is always at the frontier 

of things. One finds in it the traces 

of a political and religious situation 

that I try to describe, the covering up 

of the truth, the hiding of what you 

believe in, the pretence.’ (Miroslaw 

Balka) Over the past 10 years the

moving video works. Topography

For the most part the books were

exhibits clearly show the strong 

influence of national and international 

characteristics on artistic processes,

Gottfried Honegger 

Art as a Social Responsibility 

texts by Ingrid Adamer, Gottfried Honegger 

photo essay by Franziska Messner-Rast 

preface by Wilhelm Otten 

This title features the works of 

Gottfried Honegger, born in 1917 

in Zurich, starting with his early 

works from the 1950s to the 

present day. Honegger is one of 

his generation’s most important 

international representatives of 

Concrete-Constructivist art. The 

roots of his creativity lie in the 

Russian avant-garde, as well as in 

the abstractions of artists such as 

Mondrian. Honegger works in a wide 

range of techniques and disciplines 

– painting, sculpture, relief, collage, 

graphic works and public art – in 

which he expresses his ideals of 

responsibility, equality and solidarity. 

He challenges the viewer to examine 

the compositions of colour, geometric 

formal language and material, to 

allow their imagination to run free, 

and to discover their own meaning 

from the works. ‘In my opinion art 

is a social engagement’ (Gottfried 

Honegger). Published on the 

occasion of the exhibition at Otten

edited by Elke aus dem Moore 

This monograph presents 

photographs by Barbara Klemm, one 

of Germany’s most distinguished 

woman photographers. Over 40 

years her work bears witness to 

Germany’s history and current 

situation, in a country that was 

divided for decades. She has 

created a body of photographs which 

combine the documentary and the 

artistic, and many of her pictures 

have become ‘icons of contemporary 

history’, shaping the cultural 

memory of several generations. This 

monograph shows pictures from 

every sphere of society: from politics, 

culture and the economy. Again 

and again, Barbara Klemm portrays 

people in those rare moments of 

being that make life so special. 

These pictures are so incisive and 

unique because Klemm allows her 

own personality to come into play. 

Included is an interview with the artist 

by Matthias Flügge. Published to

Anonymous Heart. Berlin 

texts by Annett Gröschner, Florian Ebner 

edited by Arwed Messmer 

The anonymous heart of Berlin in 

the central district of Mitte takes 

in the area that is regarded as 

the cradle of the German capital. 

Arwed Messmer has visited 

this area countless times since 

1995 and recorded the changes 

photographically in multi-part 

panoramic sequences and individual 

photographs. For Messmer this is a 

magical place. He has documented 

the demolition of the East German 

foreign ministry, the transformation 

of the Neue Reichsbank building, 

the metamorphosis of the Palace 

of the Republic, the communist 

era developments on Breite 

Straße, Sperlingsgasse and 

along Friedrichsgracht, the new 

construction on Friedrichswerder 

and the archaeological excavations 

on Petriplatz. Annett Gröschner 

writes about the past and present 

of Berlin’s anonymous heart, and 

curator and photo historian Florian 

Ebner explores the artistic qualities of 

Arwed Messmer’s work in the context 

of urban photography in Berlin.

For his exhibition in the 

Kunstmuseum Thurgau in the 

Ittingen Charterhouse, October 

2009 – April 2010, Olaf Nicolai 

explored Mirador, the well-known 

viewpoint on the island of Robinson 

Crusoe in the South Pacific, where 

Scottish seafarer Alexander Selkirk 

was marooned and provided the 

inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s novel 

Robinson Crusoe. On Mirador Nicolai 

took one photograph and printed 

a single copy. All data that would 

enable other copies to be made 

has been entrusted to a notary on 

condition that no further copies are 

to be produced. The photograph is 

and will remain a unique item, an 

icon. In this way the work addresses 

the value and the transience of a 

work of art. In the exhibition Nicolai 

shows this and other recent works 

and examines the retreat of man into 

seclusion.

Climent, Valeska Soares 

texts by Michel Blancsubé, Stefanie Kreuzer 

preface by Markus Heinzelmann 

The contemporary Latin-American 

artists featured in this title follow 

the same conceptual premise in 

their creative output: their subject 

is the materiality of their work, often 

interfering with the original substance 

of everyday objects and placing 

them in a new context. With this 

approach they intensify awareness 

on the part of the viewer for the form 

and materiality of things. The artists 

also fall back on existing cultural 

reference systems. Art as such a 

system, and especially the history of 

modernism, is a fundamental point of 

reference. But while the artists quote 

the language of form grounded in the 

ideology of modernism they proceed 

to break this up again in their 

treatment of objects, or reverse their 

meaning on a semantic level.

considered Dakar as an experimental 

space for testing out concepts of 

identity in flux. Some amazing, 

hybrid and socially explosive works 

were created by artists from very 

different cultural backgrounds – 

from African countries and regions 

of Germany, from Berlin, Dakar, 

Douala, Hamburg, Johannesburg, 

Cape Town, Kinshasa, Lagos and 

Stuttgart. prêt-à-partager provides an 

insight into the contemporary African

This publication and exhibition at 

Kunsthalle Vienna, June – October 

2010 focuses on the dynamics found 

in the artistic production of a younger 

and contemporary generation, which 

draws inspiration from the urban 

world and often uses or even needs 

the street as its very field of creativity. 

The historical centre of gravity and 

starting point for the show is the US 

painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 

– 1988) whose works are implicitly or 

explicitly reinterpreted as landmark 

references for the changing forms of 

street culture and urban art.

Francesco Vezzoli 

Marlene Redux 

text by Synne Genzmer 

edited by Gerald Matt, Synne Genzmer 

Vezzoli made his international 

breakthrough in 2005 at the Biennale 

in Venice with a fictitious remake 

of the Penthouse production of 

Caligula by Gore Vidal. Since then 

his name has been associated with 

parodies of showbiz and the hype 

surrounding the world of the rich 

and beautiful. In his film Marlene 

Redux: A True Hollywood Story! 

(2006), Vezzoli stages an homage 

to the diva of the Golden Twenties, 

and presents his autobiography 

in which he narrates his own rise 

and fall as an artist and director, 

and describes the preparations 

for Marlene Redux. The viewer is 

confused: what does Vezzoli have to 

do with Hollywood? What is true of 

his stories? Vezzoli skillfully transfers 

the marketing strategies of the film 

industry to his own artist biography, 

and creates a discrepancy between 

imaginary fictionalisation and banal 

reality. Published to accompany 

the exhibition at Kunsthalle 

Vienna project space, November – 

December 2009.

World Images 3 

artists: Peter Bialobrzeski, Andrea Gohl, 

Maia Gusberti, Jitka Hanzlová, Arno Hassler, 

Alfredo Jaar, Andreas Seibert, Guy Tillim 

texts by Andreas Fiedler, Simon Maurer 

What world images find expression 

in the visual worlds of artists? How 

are individual world images in the 

medium of photography created, 

and what are their individual 

characteristics? These are the 

questions tackled by the publication 

and exhibition series Welt–Bilder/ 

World Images, by Helmhaus Zürich. 

This third volume in the series 

features a compendium of current 

photography, and presents a diverse 

selection of new works. The pictures 

in this book – accompanied by brief 

illustrative texts on the perspective of 

each artist – are transpositions from 

the world to the world of photography. 

Photography here is regarded as 

‘world education’: artistic images 

enhance, deepen and modify our 

knowledge of the world. Published 

to accompany the exhibition at 

Helmhaus Zürich, November 2009 – 

January 2010.

Adam Dant 

introduction by Deborah Robinson 

This catalogue is the first monograph 

on this unique artist who creates 

large, richly layered, dense, cartoonlike 

drawings that demand focus 

and concentration from the viewer. 

His meticulously researched works 

often represent mishap and folly and 

often take place within recognisable 

buildings and institutions. Common 

subjects include museums, maps 

and complicated jokes. Dant 

makes a satirical commentary 

on contemporary life and can be 

associated with the traditions of 

Hogarth and Swift. For The New 

Art Gallery, he is looking to create a 

new body of work exploring British 

attitudes to drinking. Initially inspired 

by George Cruikshank’s The Worship 

of Bacchus and by looking at works 

by Breughel, Dant will create a 

body of work that wittily explores 

this topical theme in contemporary 

Britain, while making reference to its 

historical context.

Gotthard Graubner 

Painting 

texts by Heinz Liesbrock, Uwe Wieczorek 

edited by Uwe Wieczorek 

The paintings of Gotthard Graubner 

evolve entirely from his organisation 

of paint as a substance and a 

colour, and the exploration of its 

inherent order. Graubner does 

without any kind of perspectival or 

mimetic figuration as well as any 

metaphoric allusions, so that colour 

alone is the determining factor of the 

theme, the form, the space and the 

movement of light in the painting. 

The Farbraumkörper (colour-space 

bodies), so-called by the artist, come 

about by underlaying the picture 

plane with absorbent material, thus 

enabling an unhindered absorption 

of paint and the unfolding of the 

inherent qualities of its colour. 

The works reproduced in this book 

– paintings, drawings and works 

on paper – make it possible for the 

reader to follow the development of 

Graubner’s distinct position in the 

art world.

Uwe Karlsen 

Monte Rosa 

text by Richard Deacon 

In his work, the sculptor Uwe Karlsen 

favours mouldable materials like clay 

or wax that allow him to manipulate 

something from the depth of the 

material onto the surface. Thus he 

brings heavy masses of carefully 

modelled clay to collide – e.g., by 

dropping them over the thick plates 

of a kiln or over a steel plate – and 

so, by means of the released energy, 

bring something into being that is 

undefined but at the same time 

complex. The results that materialise 

from this spontaneous act obey a 

choreography that develops its own 

dynamism. The artist then coats the 

clay models with a glaze, whose final 

look is completed by the process of 

viewing them in space. In this book 

the artist describes his singular 

modus operandi in conversation with 

Raimund Stecker and Niels Dietrich, 

in whose Cologne workshop he 

produces his works.

Michael Venezia 

Nacht wird Tag / Night 

Becomes Day 

text by Heinz Liesbrock 

The American painter Michael 

Venezia developed his aesthetic 

concept around 1960, when an 

intensive debate took place on the 

‘death’ of painting and the easel 

canvas. Venezia, despite the general 

trend, was one of the few who stood 

by painting, even though he did not 

use manual paint application and did 

not use colour in any compositional 

sense. Since the beginning of the 

1970s, he replaced canvas with 

wooden slats and since 1986 with 

untreated wooden blocks, whose 

front surface he coated in viscous 

oils or with a spray gun. Often 

several blocks were arranged, by 

chance or composition, in rows or 

layered one on top of the other. 

The late work, which is reproduced 

in this publication, foregrounds the 

problematics of painting. Venezia 

broadens the tonal spectrum of 

colour, allows acrylic paints to flow 

together so that spatial effects come 

about for the first time.

Richard, Elena Crippa, Christopher Heuer and 

Matthew Jesse Jackson 

Looking Back: Charles Harrison is 

a collection of auto-biographical 

interviews conducted with the British 

art historian, curator, critic and 

professor in the years before his 

death in August 2009. The publication 

developed from transcripts of a 

number of interviews conducted with 

Harrison by researchers, students 

and journalists seeking information 

about his relationship to and 

experience of significant art historical 

events, institutions and artists. 

Harrison took part in and witnessed 

a period of crucial development of 

the arts in Britain. Throughout his 

lifetime, Harrison 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 he 

frequented. These non-professional 

photographs represent Harrison’s 

eye and will be reproduced within the 

interviews.

Dan Perfect 

Dæmonology 

text by John-Paul Stonard 

For his 2009 Dæmonology series, 

Dan Perfect has conjured 26 

numinous beings, from Amaethon 

– the Welsh agricultural deity – to 

Zadkiel – the biblical angel of mercy. 

They are a strange and indifferent 

company, carefully chosen for the 

alphabetic coincidence of their 

names rather than their imagined 

attributes. Drawn from a range of 

traditions, this arbitrary evocation 

appears a deliberate snub to the 

fiction of their existence. Full of 

unusual colours and abstract shapes, 

these portraits examine the notions 

of illusion, projection and the makebelieve, 

while firmly referencing our 

need to animate the world around us.
