Naeemeh Naeemaei - Dreams Before Extinction
Perceval Press 2014 ISBN 9780989561631 Acqn 23374
Hb 26x36cm 35pp 12col ills 9.25

Dissolving the artificial boundary between human society and wild nature is the goal of Dreams
Before Extinction, a series of twelve remarkable paintings of endangered species by the Tehran-
based Iranian artist Naeemeh Naeemaei. Painted in a dream-like, figurative style that is
disarming in its sincerity, her artworks bring a distinctly Muslim perspective to environmental art
and activism. Through a deeply personal narrative that is disturbing for both its intimacy and its
boldness, Naeemaei bravely crosses the dividing line between humans and wild nature to
awaken emotional concern not only for the animals in question, but also for the environment as a
whole. "I use my dreams, wishes, memorabilia and legends, plus information about the species,
to extend my imagination. In each painting, I've lived with an animal in my mind. It is a deep
connection." With illuminating comments on each painting by the artist, a preface by the Iranian
environmentalist Kavous Seyed-Emami, and an introduction by the historian and graphic artist
Paul Semonin, this beautiful bilingual book speaks across the cultural barriers existing today
between the Muslim world and Western societies.

Jim Lambie - Not Just For Me. A Sample of The Poetry Club
Fruitmarket Gallery 2014 ISBN 9781908612298 Acqn 23866
Hb 15x21cm 176pp 75ills 50col 17.95

Known for his visually compelling, generous and beguiling work which attracts both popular and
critical acclaim, Jim Lambie came to prominence with Zobop (1999), a floor-based sculptural
intervention that consists of continuous lines of multi-coloured vinyl tape laid in concentric circuits
of a room from its outside edges to its centre. First shown in Transmission in Glasgow in 1999, it
is now in several major international collections.
Lambies work makes its magic from relatively humble materials tinfoil and coat hangers,
jackets, mirrors, records, turntables, potato sacks, plastic bags and household paint. Bringing
together early sculptures like The Kid with the Replaceable Head (1996), Ultra-Low
(1998/2007), Stakka (1999), Roadie (1999), and Zobop (1999), with more recent work including a
spectacular new version of Shaved Ice (2012/14) that fills the ground floor of the Gallery with a
forest of floor to ceiling, brightly coloured mirrored ladders, this exhibition offers the opportunity to
trace the development of Lambies exuberantly intelligent and visually arresting sculptural
language.
The exhibition is accompanied by this new publication that celebrates one of Jim Lambies most
generous sculptures: a poetry club he established in Glasgow in 2012. Including poetry from Patti
Smith, Richard Hell, Liz Lochhead, John Giorno, Soul Williams and Gerard Malanaga, the book
presents a sample of The Poetry Club, a rich assemblage of some of the people who, in Lambies
words, give us our dreams.

through more than 410 previously unseen photographs and artists words. In the second part, the
players of the time explain the genesis and conception of Magicians of the Earth : Mark Francis,
Andr Magnin and Aline Luque, associated curators, as well as Hou Hanru, who provides an
insiders perspective of the research and discovery of Chinese artists. Chief curator of the
exhibition, Jean-Hubert Martins preface for the 1989 catalogue as well as his post-face 25 years

Yael Bartana - Two Minutes of Standstill
Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790614 Acqn 24070
Pb 21x30cm 80pp 20col ills 15.95

Edited by Florian Malzacher and Stefanie Wenner
With contributions by Yael Bartana, Christina von Braun, Boris Buden, Galit Eilat, Florian
Malzacher, Ihab Saloul, Stefanie Wenner

Inspired by the Israeli memorial day Yom HaShoah, the holiday that commemorates victims and
resistance fighters of the Holocaust, Yael Bartanas Two Minutes of Standstill took place on June
28, 2013, at 11 a.m., as part of the Impulse Theater Biennale in the city of Cologne. A symbolic
interruption of everyday life, Two Minutes of Standstill was a political act, a social sculpture, and a
collective performance. Historically, the act of a silent standstill is a way to commemorate the
dead. Bartanas artwork, however, also calls for a reflection on the present. During the
preparation for the performance a range of reactions occurred that were both positive and critical.
What does the specific way this history is told in Germany tell us about the country today? And
why did Bartanas performance provoke such strong reactions?

This catalogue is a documentation of Two Minutes of Standstill, revealing the ideas behind the
work and the process that led to its realization. The book includes several essays that discuss
possible interpretations and consequences of the artwork, questioning the role of history and
commemoration in Germany today.

Foreword by Stewart Lee, Introduction by Jonny Trunk.

Working from a barn in Kent, Postgate and Firmin produced some of the best-loved childrens
television of the 1960s and 1970s, including Bagpuss, The Clangers, Ivor The Engine and Noggin
The Nog. This book presents the Smallfilms archive the puppets and cut-outs from these series,
along with insights into how they were made. Its a book full of pipe cleaners, cotton wool, wire
and ping-pong balls, and celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of two artists who shaped the
childhoods of a generation.

Jonny Trunk has taken the astonishingly thorough archive of Smallfilms and presented it as
one would a collection of artefacts in an exhibition detailing some much-admired 20th century art
movement, like Fluxus or Dada. The Smallfilms partnerships sacred relics repay his trust, and
our repeated viewings. - Stewart Lee, from his introduction.

Richard Forster Modern
Ingleby Gallery 2014 ISBN 9780956669285 Acqn 24115
Hb 21x17cm 88pp 61ills 18col 15

Richard Forsters approach is seemingly straightforward, a deliberate choice of the most ordinary
of mediums, but his resulting pencil drawings, made with an intense level of skill and a lonely
determination over many months, ask awkward questions about the transition of such a deeply
private activity into the public realm. Forster draws from photographs rather than from life either
using his own snapshots, or images found in magazines, books, or on the internet. At a glance
his choice of subject can seem quite diverse (pastoral nudes from the 1920s, seascapes from the
coast near his home in the north of England and the meeting points of architecture and social
change) but they are brought together by his extraordinary technique and by an underlying
interest in measuring his experience of the world. Common to them all is a sense of the place of
the individual within the collective: the private within the public. This extensively illustrated
hardback book explores the development of Richard Forsters work over the past decade. The
publication includes new essays by Claire Gilman, Curator at The Drawing Center, New York and
Richard Ingleby.

Howard Hodgkin
Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2014 ISBN 9781938748028 Acqn 24116
Hb 31x27cm 112pp 50ills 48col 58

Exploring the very nature of painting as both cultivated language and sheer expression, Hodgkin
disregards the classical polarities of past and present, abstraction and representation, surface
and frame. Assertive, compressed gestures, a lush palette, and the dynamic interchange of light
and dark are all traits of his distinctive style.
In each painting, Hodgkin's subject is a presence that is sensed rather than apprehended, and
remains allusive and fragmentary. New works produced between London, Normandy, and
Bombay, represent vibrant traces of location and experiencetranscriptions of everyday
encounters and memories into layered, richly coloured textures. This fully illustrated catalogue
includes texts by Julian Barnes, James Fenton, and Susan Sontag, and a discussion of Hodgkins
work between Jean-Pierre Criqui and Jeff Wall.

Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2014 ISBN 9781935263982 Acqn 24117
Pb 15x21cm 28pp 8col ills 58

This exhibition puts in play two key artworks by two epochal artists who have probed the
inextricable relationship of the sacred and profane to dramatic effectLucio Fontana, with his
radical spatial propositions in the post-war period, and Maurizio Cattelan, with his dystopian
pranks for the new millennium.
The exhibition takes its title from Fontana's climactic painting of the early sixties, its hot pink, egg-
shaped surface savaged by the thrusts of a sharp knife. Here Concetto spaziale, La fine di Dio is
the altar at which Cattelan's HIM, the figure of small boy visible only from the back, turns out to be
none other than Adolf Hitler, kneeling in impossible supplication before an impossible atonement.
With a single, deft juxtaposition, the history of iconoclasm takes an exponential leap.

Ed Templeton - Wayward Cognitions
Um Yeah Press 2014 ISBN 9780985361129 Acqn 23881
Hb 20x27cm 160pp col ills 31.50

Wayward Cognitions is a collection of photographs by Ed Templeton (born 1972), chosen from
his archives spanning 20 years. For this volume, Templeton selected photographs that do not fit
into his usual manner of organizing by theme or subject. In past publications he has arranged his
work in straightforward groupings such as Teenage Kissers, Teenage Smokers, or photographs
shot from a moving car (as in his book The Seconds Pass). In Deformer he presented the
photographs under the theme of suburbia. Wayward Cognitions represents the in-between
moments that arise when shooting in the streets without theme or subject. "It's about looking,
people watching, finding pleasure in the visual vignettes we glimpse each day," says Templeton.
When those moments are removed from the context in which they were shot, dynamic stories can
be told or imagined in book form. The photographs in Wayward Cognitions were printed by
Templeton in his darkroom; he then created the layout and design himself, building the book from
scratch in his home studio.

The Emperor Of China, The Mute Canary & The Executioner Of Peru
Wakefield Press 2014 ISBN 9781939663054 Acqn 23889
Pb 15x23cm 234pp 1ills 12.50

This volume collects three savage plays from the man Andr Breton designated as one of the
only "true Dadas" (alongside Tristan Tzara and Francis Picabia): The Emperor of China (1916),
The Mute Canary (1920) and The Executioner of Peru (1928). The first two have long been
acknowledged as highpoints in the Dada movement's contribution to the theatre, but in their
brutal depictions of violent sexuality and nightmarish tyranny, and their casts of manipulative
bureaucrats, murderous henchmen, insane dictators, lascivious virgins, Ubuesque cuckolds and
nonsense-spewing enigmas, these plays also echo the work of such other dissident surrealists of
the era as Georges Bataille and Andr Masson. These unsettling theatrical works were significant
anticipations of Antonin Artaud's Theater of Cruelty and the Theater of the Absurd of the 1960s.
Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes (1884-1974) was a French writer and artist, and one of the
fiercest adherents of the Paris Dada movement, acting as the group's secretary, and for which he
authored some of its most vitriolic texts. Disenchanted with the Surrealist movement that
followed, Ribemont-Dessaignes allied himself instead with such other Surrealist dissidents as
Ren Daumal and the Grand Jeu. Throughout his long life, Ribemont-Dessaignes authored a
sizable oeuvre of novels, plays, poetry, essays and memoirs, none of which has to date been
translated into English.

The Creator by Mynona
Wakefield Press 2014 ISBN 9781939663078 Acqn 23891
Pb 12x18cm 160pp 19ills 1col 9.95

Billed by its author--the pseudonymous Mynona (German for anonymous backward)--as the
most profound magical experiment since Nostradamus, The Creator tells the tale of Gumprecht
Weiss, an intellectual who has withdrawn from a life of libertinage to pursue his solitary
philosophical ruminations. At first dreaming and then actually encountering an enticing young
woman named Elvira, Weiss discovers that she has escaped the clutches of her uncle, the Baron,
who has been using her as a guinea pig in his metaphysical experiments. But the Baron catches
up with them and persuades Gumprecht and Elvira to come to his laboratory, to engage in an
experiment to bridge the divide between waking consciousness and dream by entering a mirror
engineered to bend and blend realities. Mynonas philosophical fable was described by the
legendary German publisher Kurt Wolff as a station farther on the imaginative train of thought of
Hoffmann, Villiers, Poe, etc., when it appeared in 1920, with illustrations by Alfred Kubin
(included here). With this first English-language edition, Wakefield Press introduces the work of a
great forgotten German fabulist.
Mentioned in his day in the same breath as Kafka, Mynona, aka Salomo Friedlaender (1871
1946), was a perfectly functioning split personality: a serious philosopher by day (author of
Friedrich Nietzsche: An Intellectual Biography and Kant for Children) and a literary absurdist by
night, who composed black humoured tales he called Grostesken. His friends and fans included
Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin and Karl Kraus.

Bad Luck, Hot Rocks - Toward a Geologic Conscience
The Ice Plant 2014 ISBN 9780989785914 Acqn 23896
Pb 19x21cm 144pp 140col ills 27.95

The Petrified Forest National Park in Northeast Arizona protects one of the largest deposits of
petrified wood in the world. Despite stern warnings, visitors remove several tons of petrified wood
from the park each year, often returning these rocks by mail (sometimes years later),
accompanied by a "conscience letter." These letters often include stories of misfortune attributed
directly to their theft: car troubles, cats with cancer, deaths of family members, etc. Some writers
hope that by returning these stolen rocks, good fortune will return to their lives, while others
simply apologize or ask forgiveness. "They are beautiful," reads one letter, "but I can't enjoy
them. They weigh like a ton of bricks on my conscience. Sorry." Bad Luck, Hot Rocks
documents this ongoing phenomenon, combining a series of original photographs of these
otherworldly "bad luck rocks" with facsimiles of intimate, oddly entertaining letters from the park's
archives.

Hb 20x26cm 208pp 70col ills 38.50

This volume offers a compelling examination of the surprising conceptual and visual
correspondences between the works of these two pivotal artists known for their innovative
practices. Klein (1928-1962) was a major figure in post-war art who opened up new possibilities
for material, conceptual and performative expression, often touching on the metaphysical.
Hammons (born 1943) is a conceptual artist whose works in performance, installation, sculpture,
printmaking and other media confront contemporary realities with an often hard-hitting wit. This
publication aims not to draw out any notion of influence or direct correlation between these bodies
of work, but rather to elucidate a resonance between two artists who both engage transformative
processes to invest the humblest of everyday materials with deep aesthetic significance.

Its the late twenty-first century. Technological, environmental, and social catastrophes have
changed the meanings of culture, nature, and landscape forever. But in what remains of the
international urban scene, architecture still refuses to admit it hasnt been modern since the early
twentieth century. Enter Ickles, Etc.

Helming Los Angeless most misunderstood info-architecture practice is Henries Ickles, the man
without self-concept. Time and again Ickles offers practical solutions to the most impenetrable
theoretical entanglements of art, architecture, and science in the 2090s.

In the fifth book in the Critical Spatial Practice series, Mark von Schlegells fusion of theory and
fiction puts the SF back in notions of speculative aesthetics. A collection of interconnected
comical sci-fi stories written for various exhibitions, Ickles, Etc. explores the future of architectural
practice in light of developments in climatology, quasicrystalography, hyper-contemporary art,
time travel, and the EGONET. Occupying New Los Angeles, visiting the Danish Expansion,
Nieuw Nieuw Amsterdam, and 1970s St. Louis, the practice finds selves embroiled in very spicy
mustards indeed, redefining info- architecture and jettisoning the burdensome self-concept of
the Western tradition in the process. Just dont expect a visit to the ruins of Disney Hall!

Frank Walter
Ingleby Gallery 2014 ISBN 9780956669278 Acqn 24122
Pb 17x21cm 40pp 44ills 43col 5

Francis Archibald Wentworth Walter was born in Antigua in 1926. He was prodigiously talented
as both a writer and artist, but his undeniable genius was flawed by delusions of aristocratic
grandeur, namely a belief that the white slave owners in his ancestry linked him to the noble
houses of Europe, from Charles II to Franz Joseph of Austria and the Dukes of Buccleuch. As a
young man, aged just 22 in 1948, Walter tasted success as the first man of colour to manage an
Antiguan sugar plantation, but although hugely revered on the island for his intellect and
achievements he left it all behind to tour Europe in pursuit of new skills and his own increasingly
convoluted genealogical meanderings.
Walters remarkable gifts were the product of a fertile, but fragile, mind and having returned to the
Caribbean he spent the last twenty five years of his life in an isolated shack on an Antiguan
hillside, surrounded by his writings, some 25,000 closely-typed pages of history, philosophy and
autobiography, and by the extraordinary paintings and carvings that speak with such an
unmistakable and visionary voice.
This publication provides an introduction to Frank Walters life and work. It includes numerous
colour reproductions of Walters paintings and essays by Barbara Paca, Art Historian, Landscape
Architect and close friend of Frank Walter. The book also includes photographic portraits of Frank
Walter taken by Sean Donnola.

the Dutch Golden Age. In this book, art historian Antoon Erftemeijer acquaints the reader with
Frans Hals in an accessible and surprising way: what did he look like, who were his predecessors
and contemporaries, and what makes him so unique?

Aesthetic Politics in Fashion outlines critical studies in the present cross-sections of fashion, art,
politics, and global capitalism. Critically examining contemporary collaborations of artists, media,
and fashion labels, this groundbreaking anthology locates fashion within ecological and ethical
discourses, postcolonial styles, and critical reflections on whiteness. Contributions from a
distinguished group of international scholars debate fashion as a cultural phenomenon at the
intersection of artistic, creative, economic, and everyday practices.

Aesthetic economies, the production of space, and alternative aesthetic politics are explored from
interdisciplinary angles: art history, cultural science, sociology, design, and fashion studies.
Aesthetic Politics in Fashion advances theorizing of fashion as an aesthetic metapolitics.
