Kara Walker - MCMXCIX
Isbn 9789491843990
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 17403
€ 24.00
Kara Walker began this sketchbook in Munich in 1999, when she was 29 years old. Like most sketchbooks it served as a portal between the real world and the realm of her imagination. Although it was never intended to be shared, nevertheless quite a bit of “work” came out of this particular book, including the installation ‘Insurrection! (Our Tools Were Rudimentary, Yet We Pressed On)’, which is in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum. However, that is an exception to the rule. For the most part the pages in this sketchbook reflect uneasy, unrefined, unfinished thoughts and anxieties, written and drawn with no objectives, no ulterior motives, and no filters.

Aglaia Konrad - Schaubuch: Skulptur (Looking At Sculpture)
Isbn 9789492811028
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 17429
€ 19.95
The photographs in this publication, taken by Austrian photographer Aglaia Konrad between 2010 and 2017 in numerous museums throughout Europe, share an interest in “sculptural architecture”. Although she is widely known for pictures that explore urban space in large cities, here Konrad focuses on the spatial display of sculpture. The approach allows her, together with the viewer, to read these scenes and the portrayed objects with unrestricted freedom in terms of subjective interpretation.

Marjan Teeuwen - Destroyed House
Isbn 9789492095374
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 17415
€ 29.10
Marjan Teeuwen creates large-scale architectural installations in buildings that are subsequently demolished following her interventions. She disrupts the materials of construction and structure and builds new artistic images in which floors are tilted, walls are removed, and stacks of debris either run rampant or are painstakingly ordered into architectural sculptures. Constructive forces go hand in hand with destruction and decay in Teeuwen’s work. This book presents several installations from her ‘Destroyed House’ series, including the recent project ‘Destroyed House Gaza’. By choosing to work in occupied territory, Teeuwen allows the socio-political context to penetrate her method.

Rafael Rozendaal Everything Always Everywhere
Isbn 9789492095305
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 17367
€ 25.00
'Everything, Always Everywhere' is a book made in close collaboration with the artist Rafaël Rozendaal. Rozendaal's body of work is much broader than his well-known websites, and spans across different media; from the digital to physical and the textual. All these manifestations have one thing in common: they stem from a fascination with moving images and interactivity in its most basic form. The digital is the starting point for all Rozendaal’s work, even his physical work stems from a digital way of thinking. This book reflects on the change that his work has undergone in recent years; looking at both his own evolution as an artist, and the technological progress that has influenced digital art in general.

Rene Magritte - The Revealing Image
Isbn 9789491819735
Publisher Ludion
Idea code 17412
€ 39.90
The Surrealists made abundant use of photography, and some even devoted themselves to it entirely. But Magritte never considered himself a 'photographer' – he reserved this practice for special moments and specific uses: family photos, models for paintings and advertising work, photos of paintings in progress, and scenes improvised with friends. Nevertheless, Magritte's photographs and films are closely related to his paintings and demonstrate a similar methos in their grasp on reality.

Wim Delvoye - Studies For Cloaca (2005-2010)
Isbn 9789079541072
Publisher Rectapublishers
Idea code 17409
€ 48.40
It is widely known that Belgian neo-conceptual artist Wim Delvoye focuses much of his work on the body. Repeatedly linking the attractive with the repulsive, he creates work that expresses inherent contradictions, as well as commentary on both technological advancement and consumerism. The artist’s ongoing, multifaceted Cloaca project encompasses a substantial collection of hundreds of drawings and sketches of everything from individual Cloaca machines and issued shares, bonds, and certificates, to ironic packaging designs based on familiar logos, advertising figures, and corporate emblems, and even renderings of the Cloaca factory’s celestial gates.

Publisher Matthew Marks Gallery
Idea code 17423
€ 53.20
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 reflect—but also to participate in – the 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 Brian Gooch, who first came into contact with Johnson when he began receiving unsolicited mail art shortly before the artist’s death.

Daniel Eatock - Pens Paper
Isbn 9780987526809
Publisher Formist
Idea code 17380
€ 40.00
British artist and designer Daniel Eatock creates concept-driven pieces that explore the recording of actions. For twenty years he has repurposed the conventional tools of graphic design – coloured felt-tip pens and white paper – to produce his most distinctive work. Working in series, Eatock rests the nibs of pens on stacks of paper, which over time produces abstract, organic sequences that range from bright dots to bleeding pools of intense colour. By devising mechanisms to systematically create art, he controls the execution but embraces chance in an experimental approach. With an essay by Andrew Blauvelt, this fine book is the first dedicated survey of Eatock’s felt-tip prints.

The Lure Of The Biographical - On The (Self-) Representation Of Modern Artists (Vis-A-Vis)
Isbn 9789492095251
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 17402
€ 28.20
'The Lure of the Biographical' focuses on the relationship between the work and the personal image of artists. The book explores how artists use their (biographic) image in order to make a name for themselves, and how other parties, such as critics, art historians, and art dealers, make connections between personal lives and bodies of work. Through detailed case studies of the image and work of Auguste Rodin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Francis Bacon, the book demonstrates which mechanisms and strategies are at play in creating the artist's image, and, in addition, proposes a model for research into questions of (self)representation.

Lost And Living (In) Archives Collectively Shaping New Memories (Making Public)
Isbn 9789492095268
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 17439
€ 19.90
An archive is a collection of documents and records that is preserved for historical purposes. As such, an archive is considered a site of the past, a place that contains traces of a collective memory of a nation, a people, or a group. Digital archives have changed from stable entities into flexible systems, referred to with the term "Living Archives". But in which ways has this change affected our relationship to the past, present, and future? Will the erased, forgotten, and neglected be redeemed, and new memories be allowed? Lost and Living (in) Archives shows that an archive is not simply a recording, a reflection, or an image of an event, but that it shapes the event itself and thus influences both present and past.

Manabu Ikeda The Birth Of Rebirth

Publisher Seigensha
Idea code 17400
€ 19.50
Three years in the making in the United States, Manabu Ikeda’s work ‘Rebirth’ travelled across the ocean two months after its completion for its Japanese unveiling, drawing thousands of visitors to his birthplace of Saga, following which it was shown at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa. Despite being overwhelmed by the frenzied media coverage and interviews, Ikeda witnessed first-hand the impact the work had on people. In this book he takes time to reflect anew on the circumstances that gave rise to ‘Rebirth’, not least the unprecedented devastation caused by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, which occurred at the start of his US residency.

The subject of this book entails an unconventional autobiography. Retracing one year in the life of American post-conceptual artist Rob Pruitt through the everyday objects and personal belongings that he once loved and used, then felt he no longer needed, it emerges as an extension of the actual flea markets he has been organising since the early 1990s. This particular collection of items, sold on eBay between 2013 and 2014, unearths precious fragments of Pruitt’s life, while also revealing the most material desires of an artist known for his highly personal and biographical work across diverse mediums like painting, installation, and sculpture.

Alex Israel: Self-Portraits

Idea code
€ 44.55
Alex lsrael’s series of 'Self-Portraits' were developed through the evolution of a logo based on the artist's profile – an iconic representation of facial features that calls to mind the famous silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock – originally created for the video piece 'As It Lays', a campy work of talk show–style interviews for which Israel cast himself as host. Made with the same techniques used for manufacturing surfboards, and produced at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, the sculptures, through the very process of their production, reflect on the context of Los Angeles, the culture of hedonism, and the cult of personality from which they spring.
