Publisher Stigmata
Idea code 24836

The inaugural issue of ‘Research Files’ explores concepts of marginalised flesh from a cultural, historical, political, and personal perspective.

Theaster Gates: Afro-Mingei

Publisher Torch Press
Idea code 24344
€ 35.05
Trained as a sculptor and urban planner, Theaster Gates first travelled to Japan in 2004 to study ceramics. Since then, his work has been deeply influenced by Japanese craft and culture. His encounters in Japan and across the Asia-Pacific, coupled with his experiences as an African-American man with roots in Mississippi and Chicago, have been the keystones of his creative process. Through his exploration of cultural hybridity, he coined the term “Afro-Mingei” to describe his unique aesthetic. This catalogue appears with Gates’s first solo exhibition in Japan and includes three essays and an interview with the artist to deepen our understanding of his multifaceted work.

A red rectangular frame, part of an installation by Hans Demeulenaere at the 2021 exhibition ‘One way or another, 10 years of Posture Editions’ at S.M.A.K. – the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art in Ghent – remains behind in the museum due to the artist’s forgetfulness. This forms the starting point for ‘Unfolding Structures of Exchange’. What happens when three artists (Hans Demeulenaere, Nikolaas Demoen, and Marc Nagtzaam) exchange this red nomadic frame among themselves and shape it to their sculptural, drawing, and choreographic hand? The limited edition book’s accordion-style pages are accompanied by a text insert by Simon Delobel.

Drozdik, a key Eastern European artist in experimental performance and photography before the fall of the Berlin Wall, gained recognition through exhibitions like The Medea Insurrection: Radical Women Artists Behind the Iron Curtain (Wende Museum, Los Angeles, 2019–20). After moving to New York, her work intersected with feminist and postmodern literary practices from the late 1970s to early 1990s. Her opus, Adventure in Technos Dystopium, explores themes of gender, appropriation, institutional critique, cultural memory, and art-science relations, challenging scientific paradigms and their ties to power and the management of bodies.

Contested Landscapes
Isbn 9783949973000
Publisher Archive Books
Idea code 24863
€ 18.40
'Contested Landscapes' is dedicated to different rural regions – their landscapes, their producers, and their work. The paths of the family of the artist Sandra Schäfer and those of the famous German photographer August Sander cross in the Westerwald, a rural area in Germany shaped by farming and mining. A hundred years ago, the photographer August Sander captured his series of peasants there including the artist’s relatives. Schäfer’s “homecoming” is represented in the book by three works dealing with the changes of the landscape, its farming, and Sander’s photographs, as well as amateur ones from Schäfer’s family. Contributions from Schäfer’s interlocutors reflect on how these ghosts from the past appear in her work. Further artists and architects research rural cultivation in Thuringia, southern Sweden, Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, Syria, and southern Colombia. In different ways, they deal with the issues of agriculture, feminism, and global economy. The book therefore also takes up the pressing question of how agricultural production could be rethought within capitalism.

Destination: Tashkent - Experiences of Cinematic Internationalism
Isbn 9783949973796
Publisher Archive Books
Idea code 24861
€ 15.30
Between 1968 and 1988, the Tashkent Festival of Asian, African, and — from 1976 onwards — Latin American Cinema was held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. As an exercise in soft power and a response to anti-colonial movements and the socio-political upheaval of the late 1960s, the festival grew into a unique gathering for film professionals and became an important platform for South-South solidarity that went beyond the cinema halls of Tashkent. In essays and conversations by researchers, film-makers, and organizers of contemporary film festivals, the Destination: Tashkent Reader reappraises the original festival’s programming, while also looking critically at its legacy. From the vantage point of Berlin-based diasporas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the reader also investigates how such practices of encounters and collaboration resonate within the film scenes of these three continents today.

‘The Theatre of War’ contains the opening lines of Homer’s ‘Iliad’, which is likewise recited over three different days, across three different theatres of war: a stage central to cultural resistance during the Siege of Sarajevo, a combat training facility once used for military exercises in the Bosnian War and now for Ukrainian soldiers, and Homer’s supposed tomb on the Greek island of Ios, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, through which asylum seekers make their treacherous journeys. Stanislava Pinchuk thus reframes the opening lines of Homer’s epic tale of rage, where victory intertwines with grief and loss, reverberating in today’s world of unrelenting armed conflict.

€ 28.00
Portuguese contemporary artist Leonor Antunes has created a new large-scale “floor sculpture” for the reopening of CAM Lisbon’s Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, which was redesigned by Kengo Kuma & Associates. Antunes' work is inspired by the overlooked contributions of British Modernist architect and designer Sadie Speight, who played a key role in CAM’s original building, designed by Sir Leslie Martin in 1983. This book delves into Antunes’s research on Speight, offering a feminist reading of her work within the context of Modernism. It includes texts by curator Rita Fabiana and authors Connie Butler, Julia Bryan-Wilson, and Taisa Palhares, along with works by Portuguese women artists such as Helena Almeida and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva from CAM’s collection.

A mais recente exposição da artista portuguesa Leonor Antunes apresenta uma «escultura de chão» de grandes dimensões, encomendada para a reabertura do CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, em Lisboa. O edifício do CAM, concebido por Sir Leslie Martin e colaboradores e inaugurado em 1983, foi recentemente renovado por Kengo Kuma & Associates, reabrindo em setembro 2024. A exposição de Antunes resulta da sua investigação sobre a obra praticamente desconhecida da arquiteta, designer e escritora britânica Sadie Speight, uma figura central do modernismo no Reino Unido e cuja participação na conceção do edifício original do CAM foi completamente esquecida. Este catálogo oferece uma nova leitura crítica da obra de Antunes, ancorada em teorias feministas, com textos de Rita Fabiana, Connie Butler, Julia Bryan-Wilson e Taisa Palhares, e destaca ainda obras de artistas portuguesas como Helena Almeida e Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, escolhidas por Leonor Antunes e expostas no CAM juntamente com a sua própria instalação.

Juri Velt explores potential scenarios emerging with the disappearance of a segment of society in a mountain town. Three tales unfold in the voids left by its departure, unravelling the social and architectural repercussions of its absence. The stories bear witness to the use of the landscape and its consequences, with interjections by tongues both ancient and new, offering fragments of forgotten narratives and glimpses of alternatives perspectives. Trained as an architect and photographer, Velt moves between rural regions and cities to address in their work the question of how to live together, with a particular focus on companionship and other forms of resistance.

Stefania di Maria, Bruno Munari - Machines Before Machines
Isbn 9791254931431
Publisher Corraini Edizioni
Idea code 24880
€ 27.20
In the 1930s, Bruno Munari drew ‘humorous cartoons’ for Bertoldo and Settebello, accompanying them with ‘puns and strange little stories’ inspired not only by Saul Steinberg, with whom he collaborated, but also by the American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, known as the inventor of the ‘Rube Goldberg machine’. In this book edited by Stefania di Maria, a researcher and scholar of the relationship between art and design, over 40 cartoons published in Settebello in the late 1930s and now part of the private collection of Bruno Munari's heirs and grandchildren are collected. In these early experiments Munari played with freedom and later systematised the process, and taking up these prototypes he produced a book (Munari’s Machines, 1942) which is, reading between the lines, a real design manual. Machines before machines is the new volume in the series of the Quaderni di Spazio Munari, a series of in-depth studies and previously unpublished looks at the work of the great artist and designer starting with the research exhibited at Spazio Munari.

Endemic to the Galapagos Islands, Sicyos villosus was collected by Charles Darwin during his journey on the Beagle between 1831 and 1836, but it is now extinct. After reading that a group of contemporary scientists were hoping to de-extinct Sicyos villosus using biotechnologies, Justine Blau began to investigate what it means to bring a species back to life. She undertook a journey to understand the desire for de-extinction and just what it was that science was now trying to save. Through her encounters with researchers and scientists in herbaria and seed banks, as well as her travels to the Galapagos, she uncovered a matrix of contradictions that radically challenge the modern scientific conservation complex.

Idea code 24784

Today it seems that suspicion regarding our fellow humans, the authorities, and enterprises is growing, blamed on not taking responsibility and feelings of impotence. How can we break through a culture of mistrust? We seek remedies in regulations, procedures, assurances, contracts, audits, and consultancy. We hope for good governance and transparency. But do these things create real trust? In this book, sociologist Pascal Gielen examines the crucial role played by cultural commons. After all, trust is a matter of culture, emotion, and even aesthetics. Wider trust begins with sharing vulnerabilities, and it is Gielen’s belief that the “common” provides the necessary scope.

Participants engaged in topics around pedagogical formats and generative kinship; queering methodologies, knowledge, and institutional preconditions; archipelagic thinking and decolonial frameworks; criticality and community within institutional preconditions; modes of critical self-reflection and positionality; the interface(s) of “writing” and “practice,” and the urgent interfaces of artistic research and art activism in a period of environmental collapse.

Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803–1847) was a prolific French illustrator and caricaturist who published under the pseudonym Grandville. His exceptional imagination, coupled with astute and pointed powers of observation, drove his unparalleled artistic production. Only a single line of the human physiognomy, a simple detail of clothing or other object of daily use, was sufficient to capture an entire character, a whole manner of being, or a complete personality. His brilliant satirical drawings would serve as inspiration not only for a subsequent generation of illustrators but in particular for the surrealists and contemporary artists since. This massive tribute covers all aspects of Grandville’s work.

This book presents the artist's research process from early archival investigations to location photography, from drawings and diagrams to collages, from archive films to archive boards, shedding light on the early stages of the development of Cemetery. Inspired by and based on the elephant graveyard myth, the film questions not only our idea of nature and the meaning of the myth but also the ability of cinema to move us, to affect us and to shape us. “It combines images with sound and vibrations to induce new corporeal modes of interspecies relationship.” The film “creates a complex sensorial experience that collapses the boundaries between art, nature documentary and adventure film.”

Tomaso Binga - Euforia
Isbn 9791280579423
Publisher Lenz Press
Idea code 24827
€ 48.40
Embedded in the language of visual and sound poetry, the practice of Tomaso Binga (Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, born in Salerno in 1931) is based on an ironic, insightful questioning of the idea of gender. In her work, this theme is not only a generator of identity, but also a way of looking afresh at the social roles, rights and opportunities traditionally available to women. Her decision to work under a male pseudonym from 1971 onwards was intended to parody male privilege and to provoke a barbed reflection on the political dimension of what it is to be a woman. Her attitude has served as a key marker within the gender equality issues at the center of the debate raging amongst the younger generations. This monograph explores the work and the artistic activities of Tomaso Binga through a specific lexicon (Agora, Biographies, the Corporeal Nature of the Word, Correspondences, Geographies, Vaginal Value), and also features a selection of poems by the artist.

This method responds to the challenge of supporting artists whose hybrid practices defy the traditional divisions within cultural institutions, funding, and media. The book offers insights into contemporary cross-disciplinary practices, featuring contributions from artists such as Halil Altindere, Alexandra Bachzetsis & Julia Born, Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz, La Ribot, Xavier Le Roy, Klara Lidén, and others.

In this collection of essays, the various manifestations of graffiti and street art, what they represent, and how they relate to each other are explored. The book examines how a piece can add something to an environment, as well as how we can appreciate it as artistically distinctive. Other questions include how to exhibit such expressions in a museum and what is lost when illegal graffiti is replaced with commissioned murals. After all, these art forms may not necessarily need or want to be institutionalised or understood. Eight authors guide readers through their professional and personal experiences, while their contributions provide a foundation for further dialogue on the topic.
