Ari Marcopoulos – Beware

ROMA Publications 2024 ISBN 9789464460575 Acqn 34390

Pb 16x22cm 320pp col ills £27.50

When the Musee d'Art Moderne de Paris asked Ari Marcopoulos to curate an exhibition around
their acquisition 'Brown Bag', a short film on skateboarders in New York that he made in 1993, he
was given access to the museum's collection of over 15,000 works. He looked for themes related
to the body, injuries, and architecture, along with what he perceived as challenging and puzzling
works. Some of the artists were already familiar, while others were new to him. The process was
not so different from his process as a filmmaker and photographer: so much of his work is about
finding things. This book is a new look at photographs from around the time Marcopoulos shot
'Brown Bag'.

Marine Peixoto - Bercy Street Workout Photographies 2020-2023
ROMA Publications 2024 ISBN 9789464460568 Acqn 34337
Pb 23x28cm 88pp ills £31.50

Every day, people come to the municipal outdoor gym in Parc de Bercy in Paris. Among them is
Medhy, who is behind several initiatives to transform the site into more than just a workout space.
In 2020, he invited Marine Peixoto to photograph the scene there. Her practice then took on the
rhythm of the gym. Just as some do push-ups and pull-ups, Peixoto carried out an intensive
photoshoot. The routine, the repetition, and the cycle of the seasons challenged her
determination to "occupy the present", forcing her to constantly renew her perspective on the
same subject. This experience of exhausting a place and a way of seeing is a relentless act of
faith in others and in oneself.

Institution, in which plants feature among the works. Inge Meijer wants to render museum plants
visible once again, to make us aware of their real as well as metaphorical importance. Beyond
her desire for institutional critique, she is also part of a new moment between nature and culture.
