Marlene Dumas - Cycladic Blues at the Cycladic

Isbn 9789464460803
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 250383
€ 38.90

This catalogue for an exhibition of work by Marlene Dumas at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens features over 40 paintings and works on paper. It offers a cross-section of the artist’s challenging representations of the human body. The works were gathered from different phases of the artist’s life, in order to make combinations that would make sense to be shown together with works from the museum’s collection, and are grouped into four categories: the family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body, and portraits of sculptures. In this way her artworks enter into an anachronistic dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines crafted by unknown artists several millennia ago.

Hair Pieces

Isbn 9781922545381
Publisher Perimeter Editions
Idea code 250390
€ 38.95

Few subjects encapsulate the interplay of the corporeal, personal, and political as powerfully as hair. Throughout history, it has carried deep significance, conveying ideas about gender, mythology, status, power, psychology, feminism, and beauty. At once radiant and repellent, hair holds a unique place in relation to self, history, and society. Edited by Melissa Keys, Hair Pieces explores the cultural and symbolic importance of hair through contemporary Australian and international art. Featuring diverse practices - including drawing, painting, performance, photography, and installation - the book reveals interwoven dialogues on identity, spirituality, agency, and resistance. With artworks by artists such as Marina Abramović, Janine Antoni, Sonia Boyce, Mona Hatoum, and Ai Yamaguchi, alongside texts by Santilla Chingaipe, Justin Clemens, Lisa Gorton, Melissa Keys, and SJ Norman, Hair Pieces is a compelling exploration of hair’s enduring cultural resonance.

Idea code 250257
€ 37.65

In 2024 and 2025, the Espace de l'Art Concret, Dourven Gallery, Aline Vidal Gallery, and Gassendi Museum presented the work of herman de vries, reflecting their long-standing relationships with the artist. With a selection of exhibition views, documents of on-site interventions, and photographs of the artist in his studios and places of work, this volume is a succession of visual and geographical wanderings, between exterior and interior, between context and detail, between the world and the work. Five samples (olive leaves, charcoal, paper, earth, seaweed) were taken in the five locations concerned, following the artist’s recommendations, and included in this publication.

Philippe Parreno - Voices

Publisher M/M
Idea code 250365
€ 64.50

‘Voices’ accompanies Philippe Parreno’s exhibitions at the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul and Haus der Kunst in Munich, conceived as a journey through a singular creative process. Serving both as a point of origin and a companion to the exhibition – a retrospective and living archive of the voices that have shaped Parreno’s practice – the book goes beyond a conventional catalogue. Structured as an immersive stream of consciousness, it blends text and image to echo the experience of Parreno’s work in print. Through critical reflections and speculative fiction from various contributors, plus an essay by Parreno himself, ‘Voices’ explores themes of language, presence, and perception.

Remapping Collaborations Working Group

Publisher Het Nieuwe Instituut
Idea code 250381
€ 14.60

This publication emerges from the 2023 London Design Biennale. It involves an international working group facilitated by Delany Boutkan and Setareh Noorani, both researchers at the Nieuwe Instituut, which confronted the intricate and often uncomfortable dynamics of collaboration. Through public sessions and intimate dialogues in London and Rotterdam, the realities of collaboration and collectivity were examined. Two transcripts from the public events are reworked in this publication, along with essays by contributors that push against the established frameworks of international cultural events, including biennales, which remain siloed in geographic and geopolitical terms.

A Work will be Shown. Artist’s Invitations and Announcements 1960-2020

Isbn 9791281790308
Publisher Viaindustriae
Idea code 250421
€ 27.50

For decades, Maurizio Nannucci has preserved exhibition invitation cards. The collection comprises both invitations and announcements from artists whose approaches to art are close to his own. Yet many also come from wider circles of artist friends, colleagues, galleries, and museums, allowing a chronology of relationships and information exchanges to emerge. The selection in this volume makes visible how this kind of communication – often conceived by the artists themselves – superimposes the purely informative value of the printed matter with the freedom of artistic expression; evidence of a holistic practice where such cards can become artworks in their own right.

Rei Naito – I have lived

Isbn 9784908062599
Publisher Hehe
Idea code 250128
€ 28.55

On 10 March 1945, more than 100,000 people perished during the Bombing of Tokyo, a series of bombing raids launched by the US Air Force. Rei Naito, responding to this history, created the work ‘I have lived’ as part of the Tokyo Biennale 2020/2021. For her work, Naito conducted a study of the remaining memories and traces of the war, visiting different sites in the city – a Buddhist temple and cemetery, an air raid shelter – and placing small, human-shaped sculptures in commemoration of the departed souls. This book marks the first time the entire work has been made public and features photography by Naoya Hatakeyama and a text by Kazuko Koike, director of the biennale.

Lerin/Hystad - Electronic Flora

Isbn 9789198870527
Publisher Art & Theory Publishing
Idea code 250166
€ 55.90

This book captures Lerin/Hystad’s unique encounters with over 100 plant species through sketches, text, and music. It explores the idea that, while plants remain distinctly “other,” our shared planet requires balancing connection and respectful distance. In response to growing environmental awareness, the artists seek less mediated, more direct interactions with nature.Their work emphasizes ecological interconnectedness, challenging the human-centered view that places people above other life forms. By attaching sensors to plants, Lerin translates their natural rhythms—electrical signals shared with animals, fungi, and bacteria—into sound. Hystad complements this by carefully drawing the plants in their habitats, encouraging us to value the hidden complexity and intelligence of the non-human world.

Isbn 9782491549039
Publisher Captures
Idea code 250182
€ 43.00

This monograph foregrounds the artist’s words, showcasing works from 1970 to 2022, selected by George Trakas. Each piece is introduced through his notes, plans, drawings, and archival reproductions. His 1971 proposal for Avalanche offers insight into his artistic language. Critical perspectives by Kate Linker (1976) and Sally Yard (1993), along with a 1978 interview by Chantal Pontbriand, explore his phenomenological approach and spatial dynamics. Catalogue texts replace some notes, including Log Mass: Mass Curve, Self Passage, and Quai des Trois-Dents. The book concludes with an interview featuring Joan Jonas, Trakas, and his daughter Maggie, moderated by Alexis Lowry, alongside Catherine Grout’s essay on his engagement with body, space, and movement.

Secundino Hernández - En Obras / At Work

Isbn 9788494666391
Publisher This Side Up
Idea code 250186
€ 35.75

This catalogue appears with an exhibition of work by Secundino Hernández in his hometown of Madrid, conceived as an itinerary through his almost 30-year artistic career. It is presented not so much as a chronological overview, but rather as an approach to his work based on crucial concerns or interests in his pictorial practice. Hernández’s painting is the result of a reflective process where gesture and accident occur in an apparent fluidity and lightness. Included are nearly 70 works, ranging from the earliest to the present. The works address the four fundamental aspects the artist has developed in his pictorial language: drawing, surface treatment, form, and the human figure.

Delcy Morelos - Profundis

Isbn 9788412993318
Publisher This Side Up
Idea code 250187
€ 28.60

In her large-scale installations, Delcy Morelos uses scent and soil to explore our relationship to the earth. ‘Profundis’ is a site-specific project at CAAC Seville by the Colombian artist. Starting with locally sourced sediments, she mixed these with other natural materials, such as hay, jute, wood, latex, spices, seeds, and plants. By blending local sand, clay, and earth with specimens that were introduced to Europe from the Americas, Morelos alludes to the history of colonial botany. The significance of her works is elevated by locating them in Seville, which was central to the development of overseas trade routes and colonies between the 15th and 17th centuries.

Giacinto Cerone (Melfi, 1957 – Rome, 2004) was a sculptor who experimented freely with materials, from wood to metal, and saw drawing as both independent and preparatory to his work.

Marking 20 years since his passing, it features 45 sculptures and 35 drawings, highlighting his bold, expressive vision and innovative approach to form and space.

Noe Aoki

Isbn 9784907490256
Publisher Kumatama Studio
Idea code 250218
€ 109.70

Sculptor Noe Aoki sees iron as an element that is omnipresent in the body, on Earth, and in the universe. Her mode of artistic expression, at once literal yet metaphysical, embraces the notion that iron contains a kind of translucent light within. Created with a resilient and fluid approach, her works function as free and open devices for enhancing our senses. The iron seems soft and supple, the skeletal structure evokes a sense of fullness despite its lack of mass, and the biomorphic forms made of circles and lines elicit familiarity, creating a space where different elements coexist. This book shows how Aoki grasps the essential nature that lies hidden within material substances.

Isbn 9783910298385
Publisher Strzelecki Books
Idea code 250225
€ 35.00

Marta Kuhn-Weber (1903–1990) was an artist who embraced intellectual, economic, and artistic freedom, rejecting the boundaries between fantasy and reality. A self-assured and independent figure, she defied genre classifications and external judgment. She studied at the Badische Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe in the mid-1920s and co-published the left-wing artists' magazine ZAKPO in 1930. After living in Berlin, Freiburg, Basel, and Alsace, she moved to Paris in the mid-1960s. Known for her flair for self-staging, her work includes photographic and painted self-portraits and life-sized dolls that explore gender, sexuality, and social roles. Her inspirations ranged from literature and theatre to the queer scene of the 1960s and 1970s. The publication features a detailed biography, her artistic networks, and a selected catalogue of works.

Gabriel Kuri - Forms of Contingency and Pattern of Imminence

Isbn 9798990911338
Publisher Zolo Press
Idea code 250239
€ 67.75

Form of Contingency and Pattern of Imminence by Gabriel Kuri combines photographs of emergency plans and cleaning charts with layered drawings, challenging the boundary between chaos and structure. Featuring Kuri's works and an essay by James Cahill, this book offers a profound exploration of inevitability, contingency, and the human need to organize the unpredictable. For the past ten years, Gabriel Kuri has been photographing two kinds of display: emergency escape plans for buildings—hotels, museums, warehouses, etc.—and cleaning charts found in public washrooms. Both series have evolved in parallel, marking Kuri's movements around the world. Once weaved together, they constitute the backbone of Forms of Contingency and Patterns of Imminence.

€ 25.75

“OTHERS” is a collaborative project between Japanese photographer Ikuhisa Sawada and Dutch artist Marc Nagtzaam. Beginning at opposite ends of a long distance, the trajectories of the two artists resemble a series of paths traveling towards one another following parallel lines, passing as they reach out for ends that are simultaneously shared and separate. This book, the first of two for this project, documents the act of “communication through artwork” through a series of images and sketches generated in the lead up to their first exhibition in Tokyo, as they allowed their work to change and adapt as it entered into the gravitational influence of the “other”.

"OTHERS” is a collaborative project between Japanese photographer Ikuhisa Sawada and Dutch artist Marc Nagtzaam. Beginning at opposite ends of a long distance, the trajectories of the two artists resemble a series of paths traveling towards one another following parallel lines, passing as they reach out for ends that are simultaneously shared and separate. This book, the second of two for this project, makes clear the relationship between these two ends, which were realized as two distant exhibitions, one in Tokyo and the other in Antwerp, built by each artist in isolation yet through the accumulating influence of the other, forming an intricate structure which spanned space and time.

Idea code 250102
€ 73.25

Beginning as a single body comprised of hundreds of stacked photographs, drawings, and film stills, each book is a single fragment of this greater entity, which has been cut into a thousand uniform pieces, rendering in physical form the practice of photographer Osamu Kanemura. Like an edifice rising out of a newly formed distance, images now severed and removed from original intention run in parallel with Kanemura’s own edifice of thought in describing the mediums used as being formed by an accumulation of traces and fragments, their essence becoming clear once they have become free from the utility of reproducing the subject. Totaling 1,648 pages, divided into 5 “modules” which stack and interlock forming a structure which can both be itself fragmented or continuous, the hundreds of splintered images interwoven together, their remnants layered in a shifting order, consolidating to form a ruin object with a seemingly infinite number of unique instances, the now cracked surfaces existent but scattered like ghostly rubble over a vast plain.

Thomas Ott – From Scratch

€ 31.20

Swiss comic artist and illustrator Thomas Ott has gained a worldwide reputation, with works represented in many collections and some of his stories adapted for film. Ott’s blacker than black scraperboard technique combines a pictorial idiom that evokes film while telling nightmarishly dismal stories. The skilfully rendered images form an oppressive contrast with the nonverbal character of the narratives. This book offers a first-ever survey of Ott’s multifaceted oeuvre, from his first works for the magazine ‘Strapazin’ to ‘Tales of Error’ and other celebrated comic collections, his work on animations and live-action films, and even the drawings he has produced for installations.

The first monograph to feature the Ethiopian-Italian painter Jem Perucchini, who blends elements of Renaissance and Byzantine art with sacred frescoes from the Ethiopian tradition. The Milan-based artist draws on an eclectic set of references – diverse symbols, archetypes, and histories – in his practice to reimagine cultural inheritances, offering a fresh interpretation of the classical Western canon. Informed by his own experiences, Perucchini’s work reflects our shared human desire to reshape our inheritances into our own narratives, and to forge connections with one another through seeing our old stories born anew. The book includes texts by Jimena Blázquez and Giogio Di Domenico.

Publisher Editions 205
Idea code 250299
€ 19.90

Structured like an exhibition, this book starts with artists and their works in order to explore the concept of the multiple in society, aiming to present the expression and establishment of plural identities as one of the most significant humanist advances in history. Artistic creation and the discovery of artworks serve as the main means of challenging and escaping binary representations of the self. It is primarily in this intermediary, transitional space that individuals can engage with models of existence that are at once complex, fragmented, other, strange, and familiar. Such models are capable of defying the established order and asserting alternative lives and our rights to exist.

Creatives, practitioners, designers, and artistic researchers are engaging in a participatory practice of collectively investigating what practising solidarity in fashion entails. This book recognises the urgency of practising more care for other humans, animals, organisms, and species, as well as the other (living) matter related to fashion, clothing, and textiles. How can we activate radical visions and imaginations of alternative, more solidary fashion systems? And how can we respect the agency of human beings in precarious positions while also acknowledging the lives of other living (non-human) beings? Learn more about the critical strategies, affirmative approaches, and embodied practices.

'The Mountain Speaks to the Sea' explores Tekla Aslanishvili’s experimental film trilogy, which examines how ports, railways, and smart city projects function as technologies of citizenship and sovereignty. It reveals the disruptive impacts of large-scale energy and transport projects on the ecologies of the South Caucasus by connecting distant geographies with future visions. Focusing on the power of moving images to shape and dismantle infrastructures, the publication weaves fragmented (hi)stories of people living around sites of transit and extraction - those who disrupt material systems to challenge state violence. Blending an artist’s book and a reader, The Mountain Speaks to the Sea experiments with translating film into print. Edited by Tekla Aslanishvili and Silvia Franceschini, it features contributions from Alexandra Aroshvili, Ifor Duncan, Silvia Franceschini, Evelina Gambino, and Timothy Mitchell.

'Fragments of Repair' is the fourth publication in BAK’s publishing series BASICS which revisits fundamental questions and urgencies of our time—the “basics”—and seeks to develop afresh the building blocks of lexicons, tactics, scenarios, and relations that enable action in contemporary conditions. Today’s entwined crises reveal deep-seated wounds that issue from historical colonialisms and present-day authoritarianisms, economic disparity and growing racial violence, and the abuses inflicted on vulnerable populations and the planet. To address this disquieting chaos, this book, co-conceptualized by artist Kader Attia with curators Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas, offers a collection of long- and short-form essays, visual essays, and conversations on decolonial repair as both a tool and a tactic of engagement with the current state of the world.

Both an artist’s book and a mini-exhibition, this fanfold publication features abstract photographs of cranes inspired by traditional Japanese screen painting. These are juxtaposed with a series of rising clouds of steam from a volcano at the “end of the world” – what the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, call the volcanic region in the north of Japan. The area is also home to the red-crowned crane, which was once widespread but brought to the brink of extinction by humans in the 1920s. Granser’s images address this complex relationship between humans and nature. An insertion in the book features poems by Kashiwagi Mari, printed in Japanese and English.

Rather than merely informing, the anthology activates and performs listening, positioning itself both as a resource and as an artists’ book. Designed by Linn Henrichson to enhance tactile engagement, this volume challenges conventional boundaries and invites readers to actively participate in the transformative potential of listening. Exploring the possibilities of the anthology as a format, it spans print, online, and live iterations.
