Batia Suter - Cloud Service
Isbn 9789492811431
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 19071
€ 14.60
As with Batia Suter’s previous projects, ‘Cloud Service’ is primarily interested in the visual dialogue that emerges with the simple act of placing images in new relations to one another. Drawing from her vast personal library of natural history reference books, encyclopaedias, and other flea market finds, Suter assembles a mix of “non-art” images, adapted and reoriented in intuitive and often profound ways. The set of appropriated images comprising this book is a monographic index of clouds and cloud-suggestive forms. Placed in the right sequence, these images resonate in new and complex ways, manipulate each other, and take on new depths of meaning with a sort of synaptic leap.

F.R.DAVID Spring 2019: Black Sun
Isbn 9780995713376
Publisher Uh Books / Kw Institute
Idea code 19055
€ 10.40
‘Black Sun’ is edited in conversation with Krist Gruijthuijsen, currently the director of KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, to accompany the exhibitions ‘David Wojnarowicz Photography & Film 1978–1992’, ‘Reza Abdoh’, and ‘TIES, TALES AND TRACES: Dedicated to Frank Wagner, Independent Curator (1958–2016)’. The issue departs from Wojnarowicz’s grief at the loss of loved ones during the 1980s AIDS crisis and anger at the US government for its wilful neglect. It assembles a selection of various gendered and sexual positions, all seeking support, love, and intimacy in linguistic, architectural, and bodily structures while under threat of collapse.

Basquiat: The Artist And His New York Scene
Isbn 9789074106481
Publisher Schunck*
Idea code 19098
€ 39.50
Published to accompany an exhibition at Schunk, Heerlen, this volume approaches the figure of Jean-Michel Basquiat not as the darling of the mid-1980s New York art scene, but as a young artist oscillating between the street and the museum, and who quickly becomes an emerging icon. His transition from graffiti artist to world-famous painter is now legendary, yet his social and artistic context mirrors the post-industrial character of the city of Heerlen, the vacancies and drug problems that followed the region’s economic downturn in the 1980s and ’90s. Special attention is given to the ‘Times Square Show’, which was a breakthrough exhibition for Basquiat and his contemporaries.

Publisher RVB Books
Idea code 19108
€ 30.10
During a year of research at Fondation Vasarely, Aix-en-Provence, Oran Hoffmann meticulously organized and catalogued the original materials that the visual artist Victor Vasarely had employed for his large-scale works. He isolated the ceramic tiles, aluminium pieces, or paper sheets he discovered and photographed each of these elements separately. Oran Hoffman shows and draws us nearer to the source from which artistic work erupts, in the same time his photographic interventions both explores and interprets Vasarely’s work.

Manzoni In Holland
Isbn 9789462085053
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 19091
€ 29.95
As one of the greatest pioneers of international conceptual art, Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) maintained strong ties with the Netherlands. The unlocking of his intensive correspondence with Rotterdam gallery owner Hans Sonnenberg has revealed the extent of Manzoni's influence on the post-war avant-garde in the Netherlands. During his short artistic career Piero Manzoni produced more than a thousand canvases, sculptures, and other objects. He radically rejected the conventional context of the work of art. Manzoni's work was of great influence on artists associated with the Dutch nul-groep and the international ZERO movement.

Conceptual Art in a Curatorial Perspective: Between Dematerialization and Documentation
Isbn 9789078088769
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 19039
€ 25.00
'Conceptual Art in a Curatorial Perspective' focuses on the curatorial practice of exhibiting conceptual art. The fact that conceptual works are not object-based, creates challenges in exhibiting them. This book offers various perspectives on how to handle conceptual art in the context of the museum, based on three detailed case studies and an extensive introduction in which the paradox of conceptual art is analyzed. It also elaborates on the history of exhibiting conceptual artworks, and on the influence of curators in their canonization. It is relevant for students of art and culture, art and museum professionals, and everyone interested in the art of the 1960s and 1970s.

Publisher Valiz

Artist residencies provide space, time, and concentration for making art, doing research and for reflection.

With a range of critical insights from the field of residencies, this book asks what the present role of artist residencies is in relation to artists and the art ecosystem amid transformations in society.

Permanent Temporariness
Isbn 9789188031709
Publisher Art And Theory Publishing
Idea code 19118
€ 27.50
The artistic practice of Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti explores and acts within and against the condition of permanent temporariness that permeates contemporary forms of life. In their research and project-based approach, art exhibitions are both sites of display and sites of action that spill over into other contexts. This book is organised around fourteen concepts that activate seventeen projects. Each is the result of a larger process of collaboration, and is accompanied by individual and collective texts and interviews that expand and contextualise the reach of every intervention. Contributors include Charles Esche, Okwui Enwezor, Salwa Mikdadi, Grupo Contrafilé, and others.

Dora Garcia - I Always Tell the Truth
Isbn 9789188031716
Publisher Art And Theory Publishing
Idea code 19051
€ 26.40
In her exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm, contemporary Spanish artist Dora García explores the concept of truth through film, drawings, text, and performance. Often equally an interactive event and a research project, her work transforms the exhibition space into a platform where the relations between artwork, audience, and place can be explored. As the separation of true and false appears increasingly blurred and “fake news” makes it hard to assess the veracity of statements, García offers a space for dialogue. Based on such highly topical concerns, the essays in this book pose questions regarding truth, visibility, and authority. Includes an interview with the artist.

Shirin Sabahi - Pocket Folklore
Isbn 9789492811455
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 19127
€ 24.35
This book revolves around ‘Matter and Mind’ by Japanese artist Noriyuki Haraguchi, permanently installed at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art since the museum's inauguration in 1977. The sculpture consists of a steel basin filled with used engine oil. Visitors gradually started throwing coins and other things into the pool over time, turning it into an unwilling wishing well. Forty years on, Shirin Sabahi invited Haraguchi to restore his pool. The book includes a previously unpublished booklet by the museum’s first chief curator, which follows the logic of the project, where Sabahi’s films, Haraguchi’s sculpture, and the sunken objects it holds sequentially encase one another.

Shannon Ebner, Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey - Stray: A Graphic Tone
Isbn
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 19117
€ 15.90
This recording features works by American poets Susan Howe and Nathaniel Mackey, as produced by visual artist Shannon Ebner. Juxtaposing historic and recent material from 1991–2018, the work brought together here examines the two writers’ lifelong preoccupation with subjects adrift in narratives of dispossession, both real and imagined. Liner notes contain excerpts of original interviews as well as reproductions of published materials by Howe and Mackey. The fourteen-track record is the full-length version of what Ebner started in 2016, when she began seeking exchanges with the two poets. She was drawn to their works for their experiments in poetic form.

Stief Desmet - Paradise, Prototypes & Other Deconstructions
Isbn 9789493146044
Publisher Art Paper Editions
Idea code 19116
€ 20.00
What Stief Desmet invariably presents in his work, and again in Paradise, Prototypes & Other Deconstructions, is the fragmentary representation of something that is too agile and too fleeting in its totality – far too agile and fleeting – to be fully grasped. Paradoxically enough, that ‘something’ cannot be equated to what we often call the ‘unreal’ beauty of supremely attractive people, or to colourful skies lled with billowing clouds, or even with artistic masterpieces. Nor is it related, in a non-aesthetic sense, to the type of incident that is often characterised as ‘too good to be true’. That ‘something’ is unambiguously real – the absolute reality, namely, of an animal.

What happens when art meets (health)-care? This book takes a closer look at the work of artists engaging in a dialogue with healthcare facilities. Human relations and connections are essential to the work of many contemporary artists, and they bring this focus with them when entering a healthcare setting or working with people who are especially vulnerable. This book highlights the importance of a dialogue between all parties involved in art-health collaborations, in which each listens to the others’ stories, opinions and approaches. The different chapters highlight various perspectives and represent an open, ongoing conversation between artists, medical staff, art-mediators and patients. They also present an invitation to you to join the conversation.

Publisher Fondazione Prada

€ 59.75
'Sanguine' is a personal interpretation of the Baroque based on innovative juxtapositions and unexpected associations of works by contemporary artists and Old Masters. Avoiding a rigid chronological order or a strictly historiographical approach, Tuymans evades the traditional notion of the Baroque and invites viewers to reconsider 17th century art, as well as the contemporary research, by placing artists and their role in society at the centre of the exhibition narrative.

€ 29.00
This book offers new insights into the work of the German product designer Jakob Timpe. Presenting furniture and lighting fixtures produced by brands such as Alias, Marset, Serien, Vondingen, and Nils Holger Moormann, as well as unpublished studies, it depicts how the inherent language of Timpe’s imagery establishes a very individual, well-founded approach to design. By addressing the applicability of a range of objects such as chairs, standing lamps, shelving systems, and stools in an unbiased and clear manner, it oscillates between monograph, magazine, and catalogue. A conversation between Timpe and Markus Frenzl illuminates the designer’s approach.
