Collectively - Thinking Working Living Together

Art And Theory Publishing 2021 ISBN 9789198606546 Acqn 31255
Pb 17x24cm 264pp col ills £33.75

Organised in Stockholm in 2019, 'Collectively' was a forum on collective artistic practices. A

selection of the texts which resulted appear in this volume, a polyphony of the participants'
different voices, perspectives, and reflections. The forum explored collective ways of doing, how
this affects the notion of artistic creation, and how it can contribute to development within art,
culture, and society. The book reveals that collaboration can mean both possibilities and
challenges, but that working collectively can also offer a platform for relationships that build upon
exchange rather than competition. With texts by Werker Collective, Ana Mendes, Farid Rakun,
Laura Huertas Millan, more.

Mario Diacono - Objtexts 1967-1977

Danilo Montanari Editore 2020 ISBN 9788885449497 Acqn 31218
Pb 17x24cm 76pp col ills £29.95

"Poetry was supposed to give meaning to language, language to give shape to poetry, poetry to
give a name to Things. This state of affairs has been swept away by mass communication, by the
massacre of communication." Born in Rome in 1930, poet and gallerist Mario Diacono also took
to creating sculptural objects in the decade between 1967 and 1977. Pieced together from found
materials, letterforms, and other items, these transformative "objtexts" feature in this volume of
three-dimensional poetic works. Things become words, and words become things, taking shape
in thing-ideas and ideograms wherein the personal converges with the political and the historical.

Nico Joana Weber - Tropic Telecom

Grass Publishers 2020 ISBN 9783946848110 Acqn 31258
Pb 17x24cm 196pp col ills £33.75

This book documents a video installation created especially for the Bonn Art Prize by Nico Joana
Weber, wherein she investigates traces of the history of colonialism and migration and their
impact on urban development. As with her other works, the close ties between different
architectures and tropical nature play a pivotal role in 'Tropic Telecom', which describes an albino
alligator's journey through Paris, starting from the basin of the Palais de la Porte Doree. The
digital animations of this exotic and primeval reptile form an associative structure of references in
the postcolonial reality of the French capital, but at the same time highlight the infiltration of the
tropical into urban contexts.

Ignacio Uriarte - Structuring Chance

Grass Publishers 2020 ISBN 9783946848103 Acqn 31259
Pb 15x24cm 88pp col ills £28.50

Established in 2018, the exhibition series Collection Satellite invites artists from different fields to
engage with the Kunstmuseen Krefeld's collection and present works in an entirely new light. For
its fifth edition, Krefeld-born artist Ignacio Uriarte was asked to take a very personal look at the
collection and present his findings. 'Structuring Chance' is interlaced with numerous
autobiographical references and pays tribute to those artists represented in the collection who
significantly influenced Uriarte's own artistic practice. It was in this visual environment and its
associations of stringency and order that he discovered his interest in seriality, a feature inherent
throughout his oeuvre.

Philippe Pasqua - El Lado Oscuro

CAC Malaga 2020 ISBN 9788412134858 Acqn 31269
Hb 19x24cm 288pp col ills £50.75

The first retrospective survey of Philippe Pasqua in Spain, at the CAC Malaga, comprises around
30 works created between 1990 and the present, including large-format paintings and two
sculptures. Published in conjunction with the exhibition, this volume explores his work from the
perspective of his seemingly irrefutable prophecy of what lay ahead, as we gaze numbly at a
generation-defining pandemic crisis that is as yet still unfolding. Pasua's trademark expressionist
catharsis manifests in riotous portraits, shapeshifting nudes, and even more phantasmagorical
works that embrace dreams and trauma alike, as he explores the human condition and the nature
of society.

Azulejo Flowers - From The 15th Century Up To Now

Massimiliano Piretti Editore 2020 ISBN 9788864761008 Acqn 31271
Hb 23x30cm 304pp col ills £97.50

The tin-glazed ceramic tilework known as 'azulejo' has a long tradition in Portugal and Spain. Its
production was also widespread in former colonies and drew upon local influences. Azulejo artists
were influenced by different movements and styles, from the 'manuelino' (mixing elements of
Gothic, Mauritanian, and Indian motifs) to modernism and later 20th-century styles. Azulejos were
often used in the 16th century to decorate church interiors, especially around the altar.
Throughout the history of this ceramic tradition, flowers are a prominently recurring motif. From
floral Arabesque patterns to modern interpretations, this collection features an array of beautiful
examples.

Hb 27x28cm 80pp col ills £29.25

The annual rail trolley race in Basel is a cult event that demands both creativity and muscle power
from its participants. Winning is not the point. On view is a strangely competitive but mesmerising
art performance during which all manner of teams compete on the railroad tracks with self-made
vehicles. Even city art museums like Museum Tinguely and Kunstmuseum Basel enter their own
teams. Speed is not the only thing that is rewarded - besides the jury and audience prizes, an
award is also given for the "best failure". This book about the competitions of recent years
includes a special augmented reality feature that transforms still images into videos on your
smartphone.

Flora Sketches - Tabata Kihachi III

Mitsumura Suiko Shoin 2020 ISBN 9784838105076 Acqn 31282
Pb 13x16cm 266pp col ills £29.25

Tabata Kihachi III (1877-1956) received his training in painting from 'kacho-e' painting master
Kono Bairei (1844-1895), and later took over his father's textile dyeing business. He would go on
to become highly skilled and widely recognised for his particular craft. In 1955, Tabata was the
first craftsman involved in textile dyeing to be designated as a Living National Treasure of Japan.
This book reproduces numerous sketches that Tabata made while he was studying painting
under Kono, a period when the young man was honing his art. He observed plants and flowers
with great attention, and carefully depicted them in realistic, exacting detail.

Cyril Galmiche
Lendroit Editions 2020 ISBN 9782377510481 Acqn 31211
Pb 21x28cm 224pp col ills £33.75

Multidisciplinary French artist Cyril Galmiche cites minimal music as one of his many influences.
Its repetitive aspect, often comprising a regular pulse, is echoed in the artist's works through
repetitions of gesture. In the vibration and tension of his meticulously rendered lines and points,
Galmiche seeks the absolute balance between imperfection and perfection. This artist's book
contains 111 drawings from an ongoing project in which he aims to push the circular shape to its
ultimate limits while exploring the hypnotic dimension of geometry. With its dizzying array of
wavelengths, grids, swirls, circles, cross-hatches, and abstract motifs, the series becomes a set
of meditations.

Guy Yanai - Life 2020

Yundler Brondino Verlag 2020 ISBN 9789657725085 Acqn 31213
Pb 15x21cm 96pp col ills £28

Life during the pandemic lockdown has taken many forms for many different people. Based in Tel
Aviv, artist Guy Yanai experienced the familiar feelings of uncertainty and lethargy, but also
eventually the acceptance and adaptation necessary to move forward. To regain his creative
spark, he looked back to his childhood, to those things that drove him to become an artist in the
first place, and to simply being creative without goals, deadlines, or expositions. This catalogue
consists of around 30 paintings that Yanai produced between March and July 2020. These range
from scenes from films, portraits, and personal transcriptions of media, to houseplants, boats,
houses, and more.

We Want To Look Up At The Sun, But Could The Sun Be Looking Down On Us?
Building Fictions 2020 ISBN 9789082771237 Acqn 31257
Pb 17x24cm 144pp col ills £22.50

In 2019, 'I See That I See What You Don't See' was shown as the Dutch contribution to the Milan
Triennial, presenting a layered, multidimensional image of the relationship that humans, animals,
and landscapes maintain with darkness. Architect Olivier Goethals and graphic designer Rudy
Guedj collaborated to create the exhibition's scenography. This publication reveals the material
created before, during, and after the design of the exhibition, and thereby seeks to generate an
incomplete overview of the process the two followed. It manifests as a hybrid translation of the
work created for, as well as from, these designs and highlights the porosity between both
practices.
