Karma 2017 ISBN 9781942607465 Acqn 26992
Hb 22x24cm 120pp 100ills 60col 37.95

Thirty-Four Reverse Telescopes and Three Buttons catalogues the artists recent body of
coloured Plexiglas works, made between 2013 and 2016, introduced obliquely with a poem by
Ben Estes. Painter Matt Connors (born 1973) is known for combining a modernist visual
vocabulary of grids and tense, minimal compositions with influences from design, poetry and
music. Connors recent series of works brings this sensibility into the play of media: paintings in
acrylic on paper are mounted on coloured matte board, framed behind coloured Plexiglass,
creating an effect of nested coloured forms in space. Both objects and paintings, the deeply hued,
mixed-media pieces have been reproduced in Thirty-Four Reverse Telescopes and Three
Buttons in black and white as well as colour, highlighting the works complex tonality in addition to
their dynamic coloration.

Anthology Film Archives 2017 ISBN 9780997910209 Acqn 26943
Pb 22x28cm 126pp ills 33.95

Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective an eye which does not respond to
the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an
adventure of perception. How many colours are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby
unaware of Green? So begins Stan Brakhages (19332003) classic Metaphors on Vision.
Originally published in 1963 by Jonas Mekas as a special issue of Film Culture, and designed by
George Maciunas, it stands as the major theoretical statement by one of avant-garde cinemas
most influential figures, a treatise on mythopoeia and the nature of visual experience written in a
style as idiosyncratic as his art. Long out of print, the volume is now available in this definitive
edition from Anthology Film Archives and Light Industry, featuring Brakhages complete text in its
distinctive original layout, as well as annotations by scholar P. Adams Sitney.

Willem de Kooning / Zao Wou-Ki

Dominique Levy Gallery 2017 ISBN 9781944379124 Acqn 26972
Hb 26x34cm 192pp 45ills 30col 51

This volume explores the parallel careers of two celebrated post-war painters: Willem de Kooning
(19041997) and Zao Wou-Ki (19212013). Published in conjunction with Dominique Lvys
exhibition pairing the artists' abstract landscapes, this wide-ranging catalogue demonstrates that,
although the two never met, de Kooning and Zao shared a model of colour, composition and motif
that remains relevant in the world of contemporary painting. With texts in English, Chinese and
French, Willem de Kooning / Zao Wou-Ki charts an East-West dialogue in the immediate
aftermath of World War II, tracing the thread of non-figurative abstraction in Chinese, European
and American modernism. With rich archival material, never-before-published photographs and
newly commissioned essays, Willem de Kooning / Zao Wou-Ki offers an innovative transnational
reading of post-war painting.

gathers Brooklyn-based artist Cory Arcangels (born 1978) ongoing archival zine project of
annotated computer source code from software-based works of the past 15 years.

This code is footnoted with artist texts and is published both as a series of small booksone for

which he has built previous works, including the manipulation of video games. The Source thus
embodies the ethic of openness and generosity that exists within the closed field of hackers,
home hobby programmers and new media artists, and posits it as its own art project. While

Michael Williams

Pb 23x28cm 112pp 50col ills 25

Over the last 10 years, Los Angelesbased Michael Williams (born 1978) has created paintings
known for their layered imagery, eye-popping colour and use of airbrushing and inkjet printing.

His large-scale works begin as drawings either on paper or on the computer screen before they
are printed or transferred to canvas and then embellished with oil paint. Williams narrative
content reveals a dark sense of humour about everyday life, often exploring the role of the painter
as observer. Wickedly funny allegories merge with abstract painting as free-form amoebic shapes
frequently fill the entirety of his canvases. The resulting paintings offer a dense and absorbing
terrain of colour and form. Michael Williams is published to accompany the artists first US solo
museum exhibition, at Carnegie Museum of Art, where he presents a new body of his large-scale
paintings as well as drawings that mix collage and free-associative mark-making.

Before her self-imposed exile from the art world, Lee Lozano (193099) was a highly regarded
painter who defined a generation of American artists infusing conceptualism with a new intensity.

A prolific writer and documenter of both her art and her relationships, the public and private,
Lozano kept a series of personal journals from 1968 to 1972 while living in New Yorks SoHo
neighbourhood.

Eleven of these private books survive, containing notes on her work, detailed interactions with
artist friends and commentary on the alienations of gender politics, as well as philosophical
queries into arts role in society and humorous asides from daily life.

In the decade before her infamous dropout piececulminating in a move to Dallas where she
would remain until her deathLozano returned to these notebooks, editing the entries,
sometimes blacking out entire pages. Private Book 2 is the second in a series of 11 pocket-sized
books, which are printed as facsimiles with spiral binding.

Ray Johnson
Matthew Marks 2017 ISBN 9781944929114 Acqn 27673
Hb 17x23cm 192pp 87ills 82col 42

Ray Johnson (192795) was a seminal Pop artist, a proto-conceptualist and a pioneer of mail art.

Always one to throw sand in the gears of art-world institutions, he tended to circulate his work
either in truly alternative spaces (like sticking up out of the uneven floorboards of a warehouse
downtown) or through the US Postal Service. Throughout his life, Johnson sent collages,
drawings and less easily categorized forms of printed matter to friends, colleagues and strangers.
Already in 1965, Grace Glueck described Johnson as New Yorks most famous unknown artist.

Though his work resists efforts to pin it down, Johnson can be said to have found a particularly
useful medium in collage. Collage allowed Johnson to reflectbut also to participate inthe
modern collision of visual and verbal information that only became more frenzied as the 20th
century wore on.

This volume collects 42 collages made by Johnson between 1966 and 1994, most never
exhibited or published before, with a new essay by writer Brad Gooch, who first came into contact
with Johnson when he began receiving unsolicited mail art shortly before the artists death. The
collection of works in this volume shows the artist at his most expansive, combining art history
with celebrity, word with image and the personal with the universal.

Hb 21x27cm 44pp 16col ills 21

16 Pictures is the latest in a series of photobooks by American artist Robert Grosvenor (born
1937). Grosvenor's photography is an extension of the sculptural work he has produced since the
mid-1960s: in both cases his concern is to explore the space between everyday objects, to
convey the tangibility (and absurdity) of volume and to draw out the often comical, vulnerable,
paradoxical or visually duplicitous quality of appearance (theyre supposed to have a joke in
them, or a trick, he says of these works). Included here are colour photographs of vehicles, scale
models and ordinary objects. Sometimes blurry, sometimes overexposed, and very often brightly
colourful, the photographs depict scenes that may be staged or chanced across. Grosvenor's
photographs convey a gently humorous attention to the everyday and its precarity.

This publication marks the first time that a diverse group of Native painters, sculptors,
photographers, installation and media artists, performing artists, filmmakers and writers has been
defined as a movement or given a name.

The encounter of Native practices and influences with mainstream art created a community in
which the relationship between art and indigenous sensibility was recognized and nurtured.
These artists have shown in galleries in the heart of SoHo, written articles for publications such
as Art in America, and produced work that incorporates the visual strategies of Abstract
Expressionism, pop, conceptualism and various strains of postmodernism. Among the artists
represented here are Leon Polk Smith, George Morrison, Jimmie Durham, Jaune Quick-to-See
Smith, G. Peter Jemison, Jeffrey Gibson, Brad Kahlhamer and Lloyd R. Oxendine.

Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2017 ISBN 9789163924330 Acqn 27931
Hb 21x22cm 88pp 69ills 48

In his new book ZOO, Gbor Palotai displays a different take on the depictions of animals as
figurative illustrations. Every animal is portrayed as an abstract art: sharply outlined in contrast
with a mesmerizing pattern in light and dark. The effects of this black and white pattern enhance
the impression that every animal is etched into the paper in a visual texture that evokes tactile
sensibility. At the same time, the animals are bound to the architectural outer shape of their
image and their bodies are tattooed in undecipherable graphic patterns suggesting that each of
them is free from within to multiply and literally take on any figurative meaning. Gbor Palotai is
internationally renowned for the striking imagery he creates with his intense art, playfulness of
forms, strong and emotional elements.
