Lucía Pizzani
Isbn 9788412394993
Publisher This Side Up
Idea code 24676
€ 35.75
The first monograph dedicated to Venezuelan artist Lucía Pizzani’s production from the last fifteen years features new texts that approach her practice from ideas regarding nature and culture, migration and geopolitics, art’s relation to scientific disciplines, and the artist’s overall attention to the impermanence and mutability of living forms and their political inscription in the world. As Nicolas Bourriaud writes, “In Pizzani’s work, the image links different states of matter, an intermediate between sun and vegetation, fire and earth, animate and inanimate. For her, plants show themselves from the onset to be libidinal connections within a vital network, and art as an erotica of living surfaces.”

Walking as Research Practice
Isbn 9789464460674
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 24536
€ 29.20
What might be considered the research output of a walking practice? An important caveat to this would be to ask where and when the research occurs in relation to the walk, the walking, and the walkers. Does the walk activate our senses, or do our senses demand that we walk? Since walking involves encounters with various objects and subjects, how might it help us emphasise our connection to the more-than-human world? In addition, walking reveals different entry points to a city. Could walking provide a path toward more socially just urban spaces and commons? With an introduction by design critic and educator Alice Twemlow and urbanist and researcher Tânia A. Cardoso. Published in collaboration with Soapbox Journal.

€ 52.70
Sebastian Bagge and Julio Rölle, together the artist duo 44flavours, utilise a diverse array of genres, styles, and temperaments in their unique method of creative composition.

Their practice traverses all scales, contexts, and materials, from the side of a building to voluminous robes, and from earthenware objects to canvas or paper. This book contains a careful selection of their projects and works from the last 20 years, documenting the development and dynamics of their artistic collaboration.

Toni Schmale – Buggies (cardboard book)
Isbn 9783952569047
Publisher Rookie Books
Idea code 24583
€ 29.50
Toni Schmale’s steel and concrete sculptures often evoke associations with machines and apparatuses that have a purpose, like torture devices, fitness equipment, or even combine harvesters. They are a collage of different machines, put together to form something new. It feels like the sculpture could be capable of something, but the object itself makes no suggestion as to what action might be required. Schmale’s enigmatic creations really only come alive through the viewer’s fertile imagination. The “buggies” the artist crafted from steel remnants found in her Vienna studio vividly demonstrate the creative and inventive potential of seemingly worthless found materials.

€ 29.50
German painter Michaela Eichwald knows that playing by the book is only half the fun. Blithely ignoring traditional methods and conventions, she typically experiments with unexpected and frequently very unusual materials in her mixed-media works. This includes, but is not limited to, acrylic and oil paints, spray paint, wax, lacquer, and paper applied to different surfaces such as pleather and fabrics. By illustrating the means to challenge and transcend the constraints imposed on creatives from an early age, Eichwald offers a daring master class in personal expression.

Visible: Art as Policies for Care. Socially Engaged Art (2010–Ongoing)
Isbn 9788880562818
Publisher Nero
Idea code 24698
€ 30.10
The book 'Visible: Art as Policies for Care. Socially Engaged Art (2010–Ongoing)' was born from the editors’ enduring curatorial research into long-term situated art projects that exist within the social sphere, beyond the logic of the traditional art system, confronting unjust systems, and prefiguring novel visions for living together. The socially engaged art projects collected here hold a significant place in the constantly evolving trans-local art scene of the past two decades, and form a lens through which to observe changing realities and their urgencies. The book is composed of four main sections with overarching photo documentation, collecting contributions by artists, anthropologists, novelists, activists, and sociologists, such as Anna Tsing, Wissal Houbabi, Maria Thereza Alves, Tania Bruguera, Jonas Staal, and Nan Goldin.

Anushka Nair – Roo(u)ting
Isbn 9789491444791
Publisher Artez Press
Idea code 24636
€ 14.95
The word “vegetative” usually brings to mind passiveness and decay. But vegetal matter is, in fact, a source of existence, sustenance, peace, beauty, and hope. When plants join in rhizomatic networks, they participate in a lively exchange of energy and information. Performance artist and writer Anushka Nair proposes a conceptual and artistic methodology in the context of plant life, encouraging an embodied form of co-existence. Nair thus offers a unique perspective on connecting with plants, moving beyond traditional human-centric thinking. ‘Roo(u)ting’ mirrors this process to foster deep, symbiotic relationships with the natural world, leading to a harmonious existence.

Lalitha Lajmi
Isbn 9781915609342
Publisher Sternberg Press
Idea code 24678
€ 14.00
Self-taught painter Lalitha Lajmi (1932–2023) was born in Kolkata, India, into a family with a keen interest in the arts, yet her artistic fervor was nonetheless limited by her circumstances. As a single mother, Lajmi set up her first studio in her garage, working on her multivalent practice long into the night. Her initial investigations began with realism and later moved into expressions of Tantrism and the concept of Bindu. Critical acknowledgment of Lajmi’s work would not materialize until the very end of her life. The artist died soon after her first museum survey at Mumbai’s National Gallery of Modern Art. In this first critical volume and biography of the artist, author Skye Arundhati Thomas delves into Lajmi’s archives, papers, letters, and sketchbooks in pursuit of clues about the artist’s character.

Idea code 24677
€ 21.50
This book, created as a tribute to Jacques Villeglé’s boundless curiosity, delves into his connection with the world of entertainment—cinema, dance, theater, and music—from the 1950s until the end of his career. It features texts by Julie Chaizemartin, Emma Lavigne, and Jeff Mills. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Galerie Vallois in Paris in 2024, it celebrates Villeglé’s unique artistic vision. A member of the New Realists and a close associate of Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé (1926-2022) was a pioneering figure in urban art. He is best known as a "collector" of torn and weathered posters, which he reassembled into new forms, transforming these fragments of the dominant culture into abstract typographic compositions.

This publication presents these many acquisitions and includes introductions of the artists alongside the works themselves. Through this acquisition effort by the Swedish government, Moderna Museet received a substantial boost that will mark the evolution of its collection for a long time to come. After all, a collection never stands still – especially not in times of crisis.

Idea code 24667
€ 32.25
In 'The Savage Mind', Claude Lévi-Strauss likened magic to a forward-moving shadow, a prescient projection of its origin – a coherent system rather than a “primitive stage” of scientific development. Tracking and departing from these specters, in the publication 'Más bien sombra' artist Santiago Borja insists on a plurality of knowledge forms, challenging the primacy of ethical and aesthetic experience in social and political formations. The book features Borja’s site-specific work and visual essays, interspersed with texts by eight authors, fostering reflection on our complex historical issues and advocating for a multiplicity of perspectives in resistance against absolutist versions of reality.

This book is about queering all that claims normativity. It presents materials from an eponymous research and exhibition project that puts at the fore the question of normativity and by and for whom the demands of normativity are made. The project invites deliberation on religious, social, class, national, sexual, disciplinary, and other forms of trespassing and employs varying narratives of trespassing as a means of resistance. By putting our bodies on the line performatively, the project also invites thinking on psychosomatic interferences within certain spaces reserved for “normative” bodies. What role can artists play in the imagination of the abnormal as a method?

€ 40.75
‘There Is a Man’ is the first monograph on the work of Guillaume Leblon, whose practice encompasses sculpture, assemblage, and installation, as well as painting and drawing. Leblon’s output expresses an aesthetic fascination with the passage of time, organic memory, imprinting, and the forms of decomposition, wear, and traces. He experiments with techniques, employing a variety of materials such as sand, stone, wood, plaster, clay, water, and more to create landscapes with elaborate staging, where space itself becomes material. The book revisits over three decades of exhibitions by Leblon and includes essays by Michel Gauthier and Philippe Van Cauteren.

He advocates an approach that encourages learning about the world and the material in a reasoned form of the creative gesture. This first monograph on the artist features over 100 images of his work and exhibitions, accompanied by a conversation between Sarin and art historian and curator Mathilde de Croix, plus contributions by several authors.

Milton Avery - Forms from Nature

Xavier Hufkens presents ‘Forms from Nature’, the gallery’s first exhibition solely dedicated to works by American artist Milton Avery (1885–1965). The selected works, comprising oils, watercolours, and line drawings, highlight Avery’s distinctive approach to colour, light, and composition. While his urban surroundings in New York City were a rich source of inspiration for much of his life, he continually returned to nature, with an emphasis on simplified forms and colour as a primary vehicle of expression. Focusing on the artist’s affinity with the natural world, this catalogue charts the development of Avery’s practice over a span of three decades, from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Appearing on the occasion of Sterling Ruby’s most comprehensive exhibition with Xavier Hufkens to date, featuring four distinct bodies of new work –drawings, sculptures, paintings, and ceramics – this book provides a broad overview of the latest developments in his oeuvre. The title is borrowed from Allen Ginsberg’s poem ‘Drowse Murmurs’ (1965), which echoes some of exhibition’s themes, most notably the dialectic between war and peace, destruction and beauty. Central are Ruby’s monochrome drawings, which were shown for the first time. Executed in ink or graphite, they constitute an entirely new body of work in which raw and volatile energy fills each sheet.

Care where no-one does - A grassroots style guide to progressive cultural production

Publisher Set Margins'
Idea code 24605
€ 20.00
Urging a grassroots style based on activist engagement, entrepreneurship, design, and more, this book offers opposing perspectives on independent, progressive cultural production stemming from small initiatives. Similar to a pamphlet or a bundle of essays, it considers the formal frameworks and cultures of an independent and truthful undercurrent to move upwards. The book offers no evidence but shares experiences and perspectives with analytical support, which equally brings a rhetorical style to be distrusted. Even so, it hopes to spark an alternative economy to the needs of progressive cultural production, one based on trust and engagement wherever possible.

Artist and writer Janice McNab, whose paintings explore the psychological landscapes of overconsumption, traces the influence of the imaginary ‘kurbits’ flower in ‘The Ten Largest’ (1907), a breakthrough work of early modernism by Swedish painter Hilma af Klint. The stitched flowers repeated in her works emerged from the Swedish countryside and premodern ideas of connection with the land, transformed through suffragettes, farmers, and militants into symbols of mystical spiritualism. Moving between then and now, McNab responds to af Klint through a series of paintings and an exploration of how past ecological visions have been lost in our rush towards progress.

Caja Boogers – As far as I know

Publisher Jap Sam Books
Idea code 24597
€ 43.75
Caja Boogers focuses on altering the perception of the viewer, believing that the formal elements of painting are inextricably connected to their experience. His work can vary from photorealistic paintings to monochrome abstractions. The artist’s current practice involves old analogue pictures from personal family albums and public archives of daily life in the former Dutch East Indies, which he references within his paintings. Boogers thus combines a painterly urge to comprehend an image with a deep personal nostalgia that persists within the Indo-Dutch community – a collective sentiment for a bygone era, or even a non-existent era, that is ultimately embedded in the artist’s upbringing.

Bastienne Kramer’s work explores the realms of sculpture and installation as part of her ongoing research into subjects rooted in clichés emerging from pop culture. She does this by drawing wicked connections that bridge the ancient and the contemporary, conventional and unconventional, elitist and mundane. The Dutch artist combines familiar and unfamiliar objects in unorthodox ways, leading to completely contrary and sometimes even usable objects. While her works are distinctive in form and figuration, the interventions comment on cultural and political phenomena within society. An exhibition in book form, ‘Home Made Energy’ presents a broad survey of Kramer’s oeuvre.

Christian Andersson - No vestige of a Beginning – No Prospect of an End
Isbn 9789198870534
Publisher Art & Theory Publishing
Idea code 24352
€ 31.20
The shared title of the exhibitions, No vestige of a beginning – No prospect of an end, comes from a well-known quote by Scottish physician and geologist James Hutton (1726-1797). In his text Theory of the Earth (1785), Hutton described the fundamental processes of the Earth’s crust and the formation and transfiguration of rocks – the basis of modern geology. The poetic and temporally open formula of the quote is enticing and inspiring to Andersson, but also mirrors his fascination with the perspectives on time and spatiality that so often distinguish his work. The two exhibitions are separate chapters of the same story. No vestige of a beginning, Hallands Konstmuseum, June 15 – November 10, 2024 and No prospect of an end, Borås Konstmuseum, November 23, 2024 – March 20, 2025. Christian Andersson (b. 1973) lives and works in Paris, France and Coimbra, Portugal.

‘Boundary’ is the first book by Takatoshi Kuronuma, published on the occasion of a solo exhibition at the Shoken Izu gallery in Japan. The self-taught artist, who studied the basics of woodcarving at a vocational school before becoming a freelance sculptor in 2010, believes sculpture creates a point of contact between two things we share: self and other, man and nature, himself and the world. As he writes, “I have recently come to believe that I am not sculpting to draw a line, but to create a point at the boundary of these two things, which are immediately divided when I write these words.” Hauntingly beautiful human and animal figures populate the pages of this book.

As globalisation renders our world more homogenous, we are revisiting questions of what constitutes culture and tradition, and how to engage with other cultures and peoples. The phrase “museum piece” suggests an object has reached the end of its journey. Here, five artists (Gabriel Rico, Taus Makhacheva, Yuichiro Tamura, Liu Chuang, Danh Vo) research and collect history and resources, adding modern technologies to the mix as they attempt to rework things in ways that transcend time. Based on an exhibition of the same name at the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, this book explores the future potential of museums as places for practicing cultural representation.

Nina Auzias and Leo Stein from Montparnasse to Settignano

Idea code 24516
€ 12.25
On the hillsides of Fiesole and Settignano, overlooking Florence, beautiful villas and gardens recall their former American, British, and European expatriate residents from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Attracted by Florence’s artistic treasures and the Renaissance ideal of villa life, these independent and talented women made their homes here. The series ‘Our Hillsides’ aims to revive and enrich their memories by recounting their stories. The fourth book in the series introduces the life of Nina Auzias, a street singer from Montparnasse, who joined her lover Leo Stein in Settignano in 1914, beginning a long and troubled relationship. After Leo's break with his sister Gertrude, he moved his collection of Renoirs and Cézannes to Villa Doccia, where he and Nina lived before marrying in 1921 and relocating to Villino Rosa. During World War II and the Nazi occupation of Settignano, they took refuge at Villa del Rossellino. The book also explores the expatriate community they engaged with on the hills of Florence, including Mary and Bernard Berenson, Ned and Peggy Bruce, Hutchins Hapgood, and Neith Boyce, as well as various Italian and foreign artists. The story follows Nina and Leo through their later years in the 1940s, where they faced physical and economic hardships but remained bound by what they saw as a unique destiny. After Leo's death, Nina, unable to bear her grief and solitude, was left alone.

As a member of the post-war artists’ collective Gutai, Japanese abstract painter Kazuo Shiraga (1924–2008) began action painting using his feet in the late 1950s. His technique involved grasping a rope suspended from the ceiling above a canvas on the floor, then sweeping paint across it in all directions with his feet. In the ensuing years he became a prolific, inventive, and pioneering experimentalist who tackled a range of media. Featuring a selection of the celebrated artist’s major works, this comprehensive overview of his life and career also includes Shiraga’s own writings, archival photos, interviews with various people connected to him, and a detailed chronology.

Daniel Eatock - Risograph Printed Rolling Pin Paintings

Publisher Temporary Press
Idea code 24577
€ 20.75
Daniel Eatock has been making Rolling Pin Paintings since December 2020, initially using his kitchen rolling pin to roll flat daubs of acrylic paint (rather than dough or pastry). As the work evolved, he shifted to using a larger diameter roller intended to ink printing plates. This work further explores reproducing these shapes using the Risograph, which performs a similar action of ‘rolling’ ink into prints with its large ink drums. A total of 12 single shapes are produced in this way and these are recombined in halves to form another 12 compositions when viewed as page spreads. On the flip sides of the single-sided prints contains a slow conversation with the artist loosely tied to this work that started on August 2022 and ended on January 2024. All books come wrapped in glassine paper and contains a coloured postcard – a photograph of an original Rolling Pin Painting.

Dale Frank, Artist. Artworks 2006–2023
Isbn 9781922545275
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 24619
€ 144.35
Dale Frank’s paintings are an experiment in raw chemistry, time, and motion. Perhaps the most prolific, radical, and singular Australian artist of his generation, Frank’s work – made by pouring and layering varnish over prolonged periods – embodies the transgressive power of art-making. It is alchemy and abstraction in one turbulent, bubbling, mirror-slick concoction; intensely deliberate, but searing with a kind of dirt under-your-fingernails psychedelic energy. The book Dale Frank, Artist. Artworks 2006–2023 features an immense selection of key works produced over the past seventeen years.

A journey through time, memory, and culture, ‘Tracing the Lines’ also tells the larger story of how geometric and patchwork patterns from West Africa made their way across the ocean to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade.

Curious

Publisher Open Editions
Idea code 24691
€ 25.00
'Curious' presents a series of interviews with curators and artists by Paul O'Neill, conducted at the turn of the millennium when contemporary curating was solidifying as a creative profession. While much of the existing history of curating focuses on career milestones, educational paths, and exhibition networks, this collection offers personal reflections that reveal the dynamics of this transformative period. By repeatedly asking the same questions, O'Neill uncovers a variety of insightful responses, creating a nuanced picture of the past that sheds light on present curatorial practices and future possibilities. With contributions by Brian O'Doherty, Lawrence Weiner, Seth Siegelaub, AA Bronson, Lynda Morris, Brian Wallis, Andrea Fraser, Okwui Enwezor, Has Ulrich Obrist, Hou Hanru, Gilane Tawadros, Nicolas Bourriaud, Ute Meta Bauer and Maria Lind.
