David Nash - Wood, Metal, Pigment

Annely Juda Fine Art 2018 ISBN 9781904621850 Acqn 28578
Hb 25x29cm 112pp 90col ills £40
David Nash has developed his sculpted work consistently over the last five decades, placing
trees at the centre of his exploration. His intimate knowledge of their characteristics, both in life
and in the process of change that continues after their being cut down, has informed his artistic
development. Nash carefully chooses the way he treats the wood, allowing its natural qualities to
inform the final shape of the work. Meanwhile, the effect of charring some of his wooden
sculptures varies according to species: 'charred beech, charred oak and charred tulip are not the
same black; charred mahogany adds an evident colour to black', says David Nash.

The Collection For The Poor Collector

Taube 2018 ISBN 9783945900154 Acqn 28592
Pb 8x11cm 48pp col ills £15
In this publication Thomas Geiger gathers fellow artists who undertake "the brave and exciting
work of exploring economic and distribution strategies outside of the art market". He presents a
selection of 20 artworks, ranging from drawings and sculptural objects to digital, performative,
and purely immaterial pieces. The diminutive booklet features artists such as Donna Kukama,
Nobutaka Aozaki, Jonathan Monk, Antoanetta Marinov, Constant Dullaart, and more. Geiger's
own artistic practice is based on performative and sculptural approaches that move at the
intersection of public and private/institutional spaces, seeking contact with different forms of
public.

A series of conversations held in 2011 with artists, filmmakers, writers and even the former mayor
of Bogota serendipitously turned into a mapping of the artistic landscape in Colombia's art scene
just as it is exploding internationally. This volume is a collaborative event: artists Beatriz
Gonzalez, Mateo Lopez, Bernardo Ortiz, Gabriel Sierra and Jose Antonio Suarez Londono
worked closely with Hans Ulrich Obrist on the naming, design and rendering of this journey into a
book.

City of the Future

Kaya Press 2018 ISBN 9781885030559 Acqn 27667
Pb 13x21cm 188pp 15ills £15.95
Twenty-one years after Kaya Press first published Sesshu Foster's City Terrace Field Manual, a
powerful collection of prose poems that map the East Los Angeles neighbourhood of Foster's
childhood, comes a new collection of poetry and prose that takes on gentrification, modernization
and globalization, as told from the same corner of this rapidly changing metropolis.
These poems are, in the poet's words: "Postcards written with ocotillo and yucca. Gentrification of
your face inside your sleep. Privatization of identity, corners, and intimations. Wars on the nerve,
colors, breathing. Postcard poems of early and late notes, mucilage, American loneliness.
Postcard poems of slopes, films of dust and crows. Incarceration nation 'Wish You Were Here'
postcards 35 cents emerge from gentrified pants. You can't live like this. Postcards sent into the
future. You can't live here now; you must live in the future, in the City of the Future."
Poet, teacher and community activist Sesshu Foster (born 1957) was born and raised in East Los
Angeles. He earned his MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and returned to LA to continue
teaching, writing and community organizing. His third collection of poetry, World Ball Notebook
(2009), won an American Book Award and an Asian American Literary Award for Poetry. Foster is
the author of the speculative-fiction novel Atomik Aztex (2005), which won the Believer Book
Award and imagines an America free of European colonizers.

Stream 04 - The Paradoxes Of The Living

Stream 2018 ISBN 9782954096971 Acqn 28218
Pb 17x24cm 498pp 150ills 120col £35
The fourth instalment of the annual publication at the intersection of architecture, art, and
economy explores the figure of the living as the key to contemporary challenges. For us to move
beyond simply observing the Anthropocene requires that we find a position from where to act,
one that is above and beyond modern dualisms, by articulating new, paradoxical, and sometimes
antagonistic relationships with the living. Contributions by experts in various fields of knowledge
and expertise offer us an opportunity to rethink our relationship with both ecosystems and new
technologies in a time of great climatic disruption, and to address the essential notion of
cohabitation.

Aimee Zito Lema - Imprinted Matter/ Materia Impresa

Looiersgracht 60 2018 ISBN 9789492282019 Acqn 28566
Pb 15x21cm 128pp col ills £42.75
This publication explores Aimée Zito Lema’s work and the relationship between memory and
image, investigating the way events are remembered and recorded, and how they influence the
future. The artist deals with memories and traumas in a poetic manner, visualising how history
interacts with the body. Numerous small archival fragments collectively embody an assemblage,
like materialised spectres from the past, shaped and marked by life. With a selection of images of
research, work in progress, and new works produced for the exhibition, the book contributes to a
fuller understanding of the scope of her oeuvre and was designed by Studio Veronica Ditting.

Catalogue of the exhibition-manifesto curated by Nicolas Bourriaud, which takes as its starting
point the integration of the notion of Anthropocene in today's artistic scene: the publication
proposes an exploration of the output of a new generation of artists who are working on reality,
and doing away with the traditional division between the notions of "culture" and "nature." The
catalogue reviews each exhibited work in detail, and offers an enlightening glossary.

Unpacking The Processes Of Artistic Knowledge - Sonic Acts Academy 2018

Sonic Acts Press 2018 ISBN 9789082321647 Acqn 28569
Sonic Acts Academy is a new platform for investigation, speculation, and reflection, focusing on
experimental educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge in the field of art. By
expanding artistic experience into an academy of engagement and exchange, it offers both a
playground and a radical syllabus at odds with institutionalised learning. Accompanying the 2018
edition, this reader includes the keynote lecture by Nora Sternfeld along with eighteen texts, case
studies, research projects, and interviews, from Marija Bozinovska Jones's work on data-fied
selfhood in a time of surveillance technologies to Marcus Boon on Catherine Christer Hennix.

Musee Museum
Grafische Cel 2018 ISBN 9789492574060 Acqn 28220
Hb 29x41cm 72pp col ills £36.50
This book is the outcome of a project initiated by artist Roel Kerkhofs, produced together with
graphic design studio Dear Reader, (Eva Moulaert and Marie Sledsens) and writer Tina Ameel. It
began in August 2014 as a residency in a neighbourhood in Brussels; a temporary museum in a
specific area, where the homes were seen as archives and the residents as museum archivists.
The project is very much inspired by the 'Imaginary Museum' of Andre Malraux. Filled with
intriguing objects, it serves as a visual production platform where images from the private space
receive renewed attention, and which aims to seek out the current value of the visible image in
this context.

Stephan Balkenhol
CAC Malaga 2018 ISBN 9788494619083 Acqn 28265
Hb 24x31cm 120pp 55ills 51col £58.50
German artist Stephan Balkenhol began his sculptural process of figurative woodcarving in the
mid-1980s. By placing the human figure at the centre of his work, he reintroduced it to
contemporary sculpture. Balkenhol operates on the boundary between the modern and the avant-
garde while respecting the legacy of traditional and classical sculpture. Although his oeuvre
displays a rather pessimistic attitude of humankind and society, it also shows signs that suggest
hope. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of the artist's work at CAC Malaga and features
many of his freestanding, brightly painted wood figures, along with carved two-dimensional
scenes and other objects.

Hope - Sarah Hildebrand

Christoph Merian Verlag 2018 ISBN 9783856168605 Acqn 28520
Hb 21x27cm 184pp col ills £46
Amidst a climate of political and economic injustice in Europe, existential uncertainty and
increasing isolation, hopeful prospects are distributed unevenly. Taking the human body as their
departure point, three explorations shed light on ambivalences of hope in a collaboration between
photographer and artist Sarah Hildebrand and social anthropologists and authors Gerhild Perl,
Julia Rehsmann, and Veronika Siegl. Through photographs and narratives, they follow traces of
people who exceed boundaries - physical, mental, emotional, geographic, moral, and their own -
in the hope of something that, for others, is a given: children, longer life, self-determination.

Secundino Hernandez - All Is Too Much

CAC Malaga 2018 ISBN 9788494619090 Acqn 28526
Secundino Hernandez paints compositions in two-dimensional space that create an atmosphere

where colours appear to float. As Fernando Frances, director at CAC Malaga, expresses it, "His
painting travels the circuit between figuration and abstraction in an endless game of lines and
planes". Especially characterised by abstraction, his seemingly analytical works try to reduce the
concept of painting to little more than an outline. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of
around 40 of Hernandez's paintings and works on paper, including many large-format pieces,
some of which were produced specifically for the exhibition. Includes a close art historical reading
by Christopher Moore.

Andrea Eva Gyori - Vibration Highway

Taube 2018 ISBN 9783945900147 Acqn 28591
Pb 22x33cm 232pp 190col ills £50
Andrea Éva Győri uses watercolours to depict expressions of the female body and sexuality. The
book’s three series draw upon knowledge from sexologist Dr Dania Schiftan, whose analyses and
written interpretations complement the artist’s vibrant images. Győri’s artistic process is
essentially a research project that explores new perspectives on femininity and the connections
between body, imagination, and personal experience. She takes a physical approach, inviting
women to masturbate while drawing them, or illustrating their corresponding fantasies and
reveries. Moreover, she shares insights from a three-month “orgasm workshop,” a guidebook to
female pleasure.

Mirella Bentivoglio – Pages

Pomona College 2018 ISBN 9780985625160 Acqn 25269
Pb 22x25cm 152pp 115ills 30col £34.95
This book is the first museum publication in English on Italian artist Mirella Bentivoglio (born
1922). It includes critical essays by art historians Frances K. Pohl, Leslie Cozzi and Franca
Zoccoli, and interviews with Bentivoglio and John David O'Brien, plus a bibliography. The book
highlights work from the recent exhibition at the Pomona College Museum of Art, which surveyed
nearly 50 years of the artist's work as an internationally renowned member of the Concrete and
visual poetry movements. Including works in paper, stone, metal, wood, cloth, plastic and
Plexiglass and with numerous previously unpublished images, it reveals the ways in which
Bentivoglio engaged with many of the most significant formal and theoretical issues of postwar
art--for example, the relationship between image and text, the impact of mass media and
consumer culture, feminist critiques of patriarchy and artistic interventions in public spaces.

Frank Walter - The Last Universal Man, 1926-2009

Radius Books 2017 ISBN 9781942185185 Acqn 27022
Hb 24x30cm 196pp 80col ills £48.95
Antiguan artist and writer Frank Walter (1926-2009) was an eccentric character now considered
to be vastly under-recognized. Intellectually brilliant, Walter entertained delusions of aristocratic
grandeur, namely the belief that the white slave-owners in his family linked him to the noble
houses of Europe. The self-styled "7th Prince of the West Indies, Lord of Follies and the Ding-a-
Ding Nook" produced paintings that dealt with race, class and social identity, as well as abstract
explorations of nuclear energy, portraits both real and imagined-including Hitler playing cricket
and Prince Charles and Princess Diana as Adam and Eve-and miniature landscapes of Scotland,
the country that he fell in love with during a visit in 1960. Walter typically painted in oil on
rudimentary materials, with a marked immediacy and naivety. The first man of color to manage an
Antiguan sugar plantation, Walter spent the last 25 years of his life in an isolated home in
Antigua, surrounded by his writings, paintings and carvings. Coinciding with Antigua and
Barbuda's inaugural National Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2017, The Last Universal Man is the
first comprehensive monograph of this important Caribbean artist. Defying categorization as an
outsider or self-taught artist, Walter worked as a writer, composer, sculptor and painter. Barbara
Paca, an art historian who also serves as Cultural Envoy to Antigua and Barbuda, interviewed
Walter over a seven-year period prior to his death, and provides insight and perspective into both
the artist as a man and his prodigious body of work.

Seung-taek Lee
Levy Gorvy 2018 ISBN 9781944379148 Acqn 27671
Hb 24x31cm 112pp 65ills 59col £42
At once emphatically abstract and culturally specific, the work of Seung-taek Lee (born 1932)
draws on the subtle beauty of Korean aesthetic traditions and folk art, also reflecting
contemporaneous developments in earth art, Mono-ha and postminimalism-while maintaining
resolute independence from its peer groups.
Lee's oeuvre spans painting, drawing, sculpture, installation and performance, often within the
same piece. Notions of negation-which he alternately refers to as "dematerialization," "anti-
concept," and "non-sculpture"-structure his approach, by which he transforms ordinary objects,
imbuing them with multiple meanings and affects. Embracing invisible forces and unorthodox
materials such as tree branches, wire, stones, human hair, fabric and rope, his art elevates the
mundane to the level of myth. This is the first English-language overview of his work.

Matthew Marks 2018 ISBN 9781944929138 Acqn 27674
Hb 23x26cm 144pp 75ills 70col £49.95
The Latvian-born, New York-based artist has been rendering nature imagery from black-and-
white photographic sources since the 1960s, exploring the same subjects repeatedly in paintings,
drawings and prints. Here, she focuses on two motifs she has employed for several decades: the
ocean's surface and the night sky. The imagery, however, is not her foremost concern: "The
recognizable image is just one element to consider. The paintings seem more a record of my
grappling with how to transform that image into a painting and make it alive." This process can be
seen in A Painting in Six Parts (1986-87/2012-16), a group of six oil paintings based on a
photograph she took 50 years ago from a pier in Venice, California.

Rene Daniels - Works From 2006 To 2017

ROMA Publications 2018 ISBN 9789492811202 Acqn 28563
In his works on canvas created over the past twelve years, Rene Daniels often returns to his
paintings from the period before 1987. He adopts ciphers deriving from these works but uses
them to develop a different, unprecedented language. Changing pictorial constellations express
an existential situation of non-communication and isolation but are also pushed beyond these
limits into a realm of extraordinary painterly possibilities. The present publication accompanies an
exhibition of Rene Daniels's work from 2006 to 2017 at Reset in Borgloon, Belgium, curated by
Ulrich Loock. It marks the first time that the paintings Daniels has produced since his devastating
stroke in 1987 have been presented as a substantial and autonomous body of work.

'Lua Cao' is published on the occasion of an exhibition by Alexandre Estrela with Joao Maria
Gusmao and Pedro Paiva at Kunstverein Munchen. The exhibition is an immersive experiment in
the moving image, wherein a projectionist uses a technical script to arrange 20 analogue films
and digital videos in a series of fifteen-minute constellations. The book diverges from the
exhibition to recount the endless encounters of Tom, an avid image consumer, and Jerry, a
zealous projectionist, through more than 150 texts by Alexandre Estrela, Chris Fitzpatrick, Joao
Maria Gusmao, Pedro Paiva, and the Post Brothers.

Nothing And Everything - Seven Artists, 1947-1962

Hauser & Wirth 2018 ISBN 9783952446171 Acqn 27658
Pb 21x26cm 104pp 99ills 96col £28
'Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947-1962' examines a fascinating period in the history of
American art: the synergistic relationship that existed between visual artists and composers living
in New York City between the end of World War II and the early 1960s. Louise Bourgeois, John
Cage, Morton Feldman, Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Joan Mitchell and David Smith were part of a
larger coterie of creative individuals who shared an ethos and naturally sought each other out,
visiting one another's studios, exhibiting together, socializing together and supporting each
other's ideas despite negative press and public indifference.
In his vivid essay, Douglas Dreishpoon, chief curator emeritus of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
and curator of the exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in New York from February to April 2017, explores
the cultural context and synesthetic affinities that linked these seven artists. By considering
paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by Bourgeois, Guston, Kline, Mitchell and Smith
alongside musical scores by Cage and Feldman, as well as Cage's seminal 'Lecture on Nothing',
Dr. Dreishpoon illuminates the ways in which these individuals dramatically pushed the
boundaries of their respective mediums to new realms of abstraction.

Pb 26x38cm 196pp 92ills £98
In this artist book Christopher Wool fades photos of chaotic backyard camps with dusty roads, of
Texas desert land with found, sculptural everyday life. Two realities interpenetrate each other,
and their temporal levels interlace to an artistic reality beyond the moment captured by the artist's
camera. The images convey the story of their own creation and sound with the sound we know
from Wool's black and white paintings. As with these, he also uses his own works here: The
photographs, which provide the starting material for Yard, come from the artist books Road and
Westtexaspsychosculpture, also published by Holzwarth Publications.

Bridget Riley - Measure for Measure New Disc Paintings

Holzwarth Publications 2018 ISBN 9783947127061 Acqn 28582
Hb 24x31cm 48pp 28ills 26col £31
Each Measure for Measure painting is a tour de force in mastering the chromatic divergences, so
that they don't rip apart the unity of a composition in establishing diversity into unity, and vice-
versa. Riley had tried to do so in her earlier Circles Colour Structure Studies 1970/71 through the
concentric enclosure of smaller discs inside larger circles, explaining then: 'It is very important
that each form finally relinquishes its separateness in the whole. It must be fully absorbed. So
while it is necessary in the early stages to analyse each unit, my aim is to enable it to release
sufficient energy to precipitate its dissolution in totality.' This encircling was enough to establish
diversity without letting it go astray, as already proven against the extreme regularity of the
placement of black and white concentric circles in Dilated Centres (1963). The Measure for
Measure series is proof that Riley is now able, through careful and intuitive placement of each
greyed colour in an extremely regular composition, made of identical shapes, to work with
separate forms that never relinquish their identity while never destroying the unity of the whole.
On the contrary, the coloured circles, through a combination of regular repetition and specific
variation, build up that unity from their separateness.
