Constant - Space + Colour. From Cobra to New Babylon

nai010 publishers 2016 ISBN 9789462083011 Acqn 26420
Pb 21x27cm 160pp 220ills 200col 29
Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005) is primarily known as the co-founder of the international
Cobra group and as the initiator and maker of the New Babylon project. This publication sheds
light, for the first time, on a third influential period in his artistic practice, during which he made the
journey from Cobra to New Babylon, continually reinventing himself along the way. During the
1950s Constant was searching for new means to contribute, as an artist, to the reconstruction of
society in the wake of the devastation of the Second World War. Significant developments in
urbanism and technology were reflected in his work.

Catalogue, Simon Fujiwara (2016)

He He 2016 ISBN 9784908062162 Acqn 26087
Pb 21x30cm 204pp 150ills 140col 62.50
Produced in conjunction with the exhibition White Day at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, this book
documents 34 works by Simon Fujiwara produced between 2008 and 2015. The artist collects
physical remainders through a pseudo-scientific process of archaeology, anthropology, and
historical research. These traces form a pattern which opens a flow of narrative possibilities
intertwined in a process of personal identification, resulting in a narrative story, performed by
Fujiwara himself and especially prevalent in his sculptural work. His narrative and performative
installations function both as a memory and a trace of a complex research into identity and
cultural heritage.

Pascale Marthine Tayou - Miracle !!!

CAC Malaga 2016 ISBN 9788494435423 Acqn 26428
Pb 22x25cm 124pp 60col ills 33.75
Pascale Marthine Tayou was born in Cameroon and now lives and works in Belgium. He has
travelled extensively, and describes himself as an explorer, one who moves across the world to
survey the common issues of the global village. The artist belongs to a generation of peers who
use the recognisable visual language of African traditions, and interprets, mockingly and playfully,
the canonical Western paradigm of modernity and its tensions. This catalogue of Tayous first
solo exhibition in Spain presents his visually stimulating body of work in all its colourful,
carnivalesque glory a compendium of experiences and life lessons that reflects the polarised
extremes of wealth and poverty.

Bart Lodewijks - Rio De Janeiro Drawings

ROMA Publications 2016 ISBN 9789491843655 Acqn 26500
Pb 23x31cm 160pp 125col ills 21
The work of Dutch artist Bart Lodewijks takes him out of the studio and into the city, its streets
and neighbourhoods. His enigmatic yet beautiful repetitions of straight chalk lines, drawn using a
spirit level on walls, buildings, stairways, and sidewalks, are a fleeting testament to the
challenges and interactions the artist experiences during his working process. In 2010 and 2013,
Lodewijks spent some months in Rio de Janeiro, searching for suitable locations for his drawings.
Local residents led him to places that were scenes of everyday life, mundane yet with a special
character. Much of the time he frequented a small favela, about which he has written a story
relating the life he discovered there.

the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa. Reproducing more than 200 works
by Yu-Ichi, it presents an in-depth portrait and analysis of the artist, following his life and
unconventional, creative trajectory through several periods based on theme and style.
Monumental, captivating, and confronting.

Atopolis
Les Presses Du Reel 2016 ISBN 9782930667126 Acqn 26523
Hb 20x27cm 256pp 135ills 100col 43.95
This book is published at the occasion of the exhibition Atopolis produced by the Wiels in the
framework of Mons 2015, European Capital of Culture. This project takes as its starting point the
history of Mons and the Borinage, comparing it with the history of the modern age on an
international scale, and relating it to the present time through the voices of some twenty artists
questioning our times and our environment.
What we generally call modernity, that history of multiple conquests targeting control over reality
through technology and science, also refers to the exploration through art of the hidden
dimensions of our behaviour, our ideas and our subjectivity. Atopolis proposes to rediscover
models of social and cultural utopia developed by personalities from our region, but the exhibition
also unveils captivating works created by artists who are watchful and critical of the era of
globalisation in which we are living, that of uniform channels of information and free trade, leading
both to an unprecedented connectivity and to a loss of frames of reference. Atopolis, a title which
echoes the ideas of Edouard Glissant, a writer who has philosophised about identities and
migratory movements, seems an excellent metaphor of our digital era, given the importance it
grants to the development of models of cohabiting and coexistence which seem to hark back to
the social utopias that have emerged from our region.
This publication is composed of two interdepedent parts: one with the texts of four different
authors on all the works at show; the second one with visual and textual elements from the
Mundaneum Archives, excerpts of texts of Edouard Glissant, Raoul Vaneigem, Paul Lafargue,
a.o., and unpublished material of Allan Sekula on the Borinage.

Richard Prince's Publications - Bibliotheque D'un Amateur

Viaindustriae 2016 ISBN 9788897753117 Acqn 26159
Pb 12x16cm 208pp 78ills 65col 28
This diminutive, eponymous catalogue to an exhibition, curated by Christophe Daviet-Thery and
taking place in Spoleto and Paris in 2012, seems to draw up an inventory of a book-lovers
library. But on closer inspection, the individual in question is the same person who designed
these books: Richard Prince. Through their varied depictions of miscellaneous publications,
Princes artists books and catalogues have gradually themselves become collection catalogues
of other books. The phenomenon reflects an urge to make public ones private interior, and by
extension, ones personal life and inspirations. The publication includes detailed bibliographical
notes and two critical essays.

Standard Time is a performance lasting exactly 24 hours and recorded on film. However, this film
is much more than just the recording of an action, the recording of something that has taken
place in the past; it is also a clock. A clock for use right now and in the future which, as each day
goes by, extends further into the past, but is still up-to-date and punctual: Mark Formanek.

The fifth volume in the Companion series documents a project at Kunstverein Mnchen by

narratives bounced from the plate to the screen and back again in sensuous interaction. Five
films by directors Sergei Parajanov, Hiroshi Teshigahara, Sharon Lockhart, Shji Terayama, and
Jonas Mekas formed the integral backdrop to well-timed tastes and textures, evocative
occurrences, and lingering fragrances, all carefully choreographed to arrive on cue. Otarkino
consists of film curator Vincent Stroep and food collective Otark Productions (Hadas Cnaani and
Charlotte Koopman).

Jocko Weyland - Eating Glass

19 80 Editions 2016 ISBN 9782919159185 Acqn 26518
Pb 11x18cm 320pp 20ills 11.25
Eating Glass might be either seen as a collection of short texts and stories, or, in aggregate, a full
novel. Weyland describes adventures and incidents, some of profound import, some seemingly
trivial, that can be interpreted as semi-factual, clear-eyed, on-the-ground reports of instants of his
life and the world we have made for ourselves. From a childhood in the mountains of northern
Colorado to his young years in California, his fledgling and evolving adulthood in New York, with
occasional forays into unglamorous European precincts, the urgent and succinct writing reflects a
thirst for experience and even excessive excellence. Through thick and thin, frequently down and
out, periodically intoxicated and drug-addled, the sensibility is one of constant watching. These
brief separate but interconnected tales are redolent of a quest for joy and seeing and describing
existence with a singular, rare viewpoint and a distinct, trenchant sense of humour.
Nobody asked what you did back at those parties because you all knew the answer so you could
concentrate on drinking, falling down, getting high, flirting, laughing and then driving home
because it was California and you didnt get anywhere without a car.

Jack London - A Royal Sport

19 80 Editions 2016 ISBN 9782919159178 Acqn 26519
Pb 11x18cm 54pp 13ills 9
In 1906, Jack London built his own yacht, the Snark, and planned a 7 years trip around the
world. The cruise stopped in Hawaii where London experienced the Royal Sport of surfing. The
text he wrote from this adventure, chapter VII of his book The Cruise of the Snark is considered
as the first account of a man attempting to surf.
It does no good to fight the waves; you have to accept their relentless advance, their superior
force. Let the big smoker that is trying to smash you go by far overhead. In short, man does not
have to dominate nature but should remember that he is a part of it, that the ocean does not have
to adapt to him but that he has to adapt to it, that he has to assimilate the motion of the waves if
he wants to be assimilated into it. Then he will discover the instinct that compelled people, no
doubt after long contemplation and a few random embarkations, to glide over the waves.
Because surfing is a mystery, too; we dont know when it was born, and it would be tempting to
imagine it as being as old as the world, as old as the swell. (Quote from Publishers note).
