playwright Michael McClure and dancer/choreographer Fred Herko, and his fascinating
collaborations with, among others, Diane di Prima and Wallace Berman, for his LOVE Press
series of hand-printed books. Interspersed throughout are comments by Herms on various works
and on his creative ethos. Also included is a trove of never-before-seen archival photographs of
Herms' friends, such as Wallace and Tosh Berman, Fred Herko, Diane di Prima, Kirby Doyle and
Ray Johnson, as well as of Herms himself. A bonus DVD showcases the entirety of Herms' opera
The Artist's Life. Renowned art critic Dave Hickey provides an insightful look at the artist and his
milieu, and the artist himself offers witty and informative text throughout. This is truly an essential

Edmund de Waal - Atmosphere Catalogue
Gagosian Gallery (NY) 2014 ISBN 9781938748011 Acqn 24132
Pb 31x27cm 28pp 13ills 9col 28.50

Published on the occasion of Edmund De Waal's 'Atmosphere' (March 29 2014-February 8 2015)
exhibition at Turner Contemporary Margate. This new work, commissioned specially for our
ground floor gallery space overlooking the North Sea, has been created in response to the
changing landscape and clouds viewed from the gallery and the architecture of the space.
De Waal, who grew up in Canterbury, is renowned for his work in ceramics, in particular his large-
scale installations of porcelain vessels, and is the author of the bestselling The Hare with the
Amber Eyes (which won the 2010 Costa biography award). Vessels are suspended in the gallery,
to capturing the changing light. The piece is accompanied by Bauspiel, a plinth based work, and a
new text installation spanning the entire corridor adjacent to the Sunley Gallery featuring quotes
by Turner, Constable, Baudelaire and Ruskin.

Therese Oulton Elsewhere
Marlborough Fine Art 2014 ISBN 9781909707115 Acqn 24233

Elsewhere extends the already radical shift seen in Thrse Oultons Territory paintings, which
were exhibited in London in 2010 and consist of landscapes that threaten our sense of gravity
and leave the viewer dislocated. Elsewhere disorients the viewer in different ways; it is unsettling
both in its intense scrutiny of the infinite variety of the earth's surface and as it presents a lost
intimacy of the spaces we inhabit.
As Jacqueline Rose writes in the catalogue introduction, What does it mean to imagine the world
destroyed? How to paint the earth lovingly but without false solace, a world in which love might be
impotent? Elsewhere has another meaning. It refers, more simply but no less disquietingly, to
rootlessness as the condition of our times. In paintings of often stunning luminosity, Thrse
Oulton manages to paint us into the darkest spaces of our times, displaying once again her
exceptional, on-going relevance, for anyone trying to understand them.

The Brancusi Effect - An Archival Impulse
Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790829 Acqn 24235
Pb 20x26cm 152p 152pp 57ills 12col 19.95

The Brancusi Effect begins with the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Cited as one of the
most influential artists of the twentieth century, Brancusis considerations of the pedestal
launched a reorientation of the relationship between object, viewer, and space, influencing
Minimalism and the aesthetic of the installation as a whole. Brancusis work, its modular structure
and adaptability, can be seen as a point of departure; the autonomy of artworks abates in favor of
a reflection on their historical and institutional positioning.

Taking this influence into account, the exhibition and publication collect Brancusis original
photographic documentation. The installation reflects the recent currency of the sculptural within
contemporary art while referencing Brancusis sensibility.

Kruger And Pardeller - Aesthetic Basic Chronicle Vol I
Hb 18x23cm 424pp 275ills 220col 28.50

Contributions by Sabeth Buchmann, Johan Frederik Hartle, Kathi Hofer, Ilse Lafer, Martin
Prinzhorn, Ruth Sonderegger, Georg Toepfer

This publication is a work of both art and theory, and aligns itself with a socially activated, political
understanding of aesthetics. A concept of production emergesin the words of Kruger &
Pardeller, concrete openness. The artist duo, to ensure that this is retained in book form, offers
the readers and authors the precise aesthetic space of experience that constitutes their artistic
practice. Crucially, this openness does not only stand for a transgression of the traditional
concept of work, but also brings the concrete rules and conditions of a participative practice into
play, a work form invested with continuation and completion. Together with the authors, Kruger &
Pardeller experiment with developing a theoretical and carnal thinking that condenses on the
pages of the book and, as a visual and conceptual encyclopaedia, opens up for further use.

Liz Magic Laser - Public Relations/Offentlichkeitsarbeit

Edited by Kristina Scepanski
Contributions by Kristina Scepanski, Jordan Troeller, Tom Williams

Liz Magic Lasers performances and videos intervene in semi-public spaces such as bank
vestibules, movie theatres, and newsrooms. Published on the occasion of her eponymous
exhibition at the Westflischer Kunstverein in Munster, this book focuses on her recent work
examining the techniques of news production and the studied gestures of politicians. By using
television news as theatrical dialogue, Laser confronts us with the mechanisms at play in the
presentation and reception of current events. Benedikt Reichenbachs unique design offers varied
entry points to Lasers practice, including video scripts written in collaboration with Sofia Pontn
and essays by Kristina Scepanski, Jordan Troeller, and Tom Williams.

Ines Lechleitner - The Imagines

Contributions by Agnieszka Gratza, Batrice Gross, Chantal Pontbriand, Allen S. Weiss

The Imagines is based on the texts of four writers that each engage with a recent project by Ines
Lechleitner. In response to each critical contribution, Lechleitner develops a visual section where
elements and fragments of the selected projects build up their own narrative in relation to the
specific space of this book. The title borrows from a pedagogical text by Philostratus, a Greek
sophist. The purpose of the original text was to act as a guide for Roman students on the
paintings of their culture. The paintings are described in such a detailed and sensory manner that
the reader can imagine standing in front of them. Paradoxically, it is not known if these paintings
ever existed.

Lechleitners The Imagines started with an invitation to the writers and then to its readers to think
about these works, and can be seen as a collective reflection on verbal and nonverbal
communication, hospitality, and dialogic exchanges.

Pb 16x22cm 400pp 140ills 70col 19.95

This volume collects more than a dozen essays written over the last decade on a range of
contemporary European artists. While all were composed in the twenty-first century, the first, on
the Hungarian-American artist Orshi Drozdik, and the second, on the London-based American
artist Susan Hiller, anchor the volume in concerns that emerged within the first generation to
follow the Conceptual and Minimalist movements at the end of the 1960s. The remaining essays
discuss the recent work of twelve artists, several only in midcareer, mostly produced immediately
before and after 2000. The essays are focused by the authors careful attention to how these
artists receive and negotiate with the historiesboth social and aestheticthat they have
inherited and through which they live and work. The artists discussed include Cosima von Bonin,

Yarisal And Kublitz - Bling blang, ching chang, give me some of that yin yang

Contributions by Marius Ekvedt, Alex Gartenfeld, Elizabeth Grady, Joshua Simon

In this monograph the Swiss and Danish duo give us a deeper look into the emblematic and
enigmatic, imaginative and often humorous works that the artists are known for. By mixing the
inorganic with the organic, traditional religious symbols and their New Age counterparts with
common everyday references and popular culture, the line between what is considered holy or
secular becomes blurry. At once commonplace and strange, the sculptures compel their audience
toward expanded associations by releasing iconography from accustomed paradigms. Elizabeth
Grady writes, Ultimately, their work as a whole explores the territory of the human condition; from
our physical embodiment to our metaphysical state of being. Bling blang, ching chang, give me
some of that yin yang is the first survey of Yarisal & Kublitzs works from 2010 to 2014.

Artist Novels - The Book Lovers Publication

Edited by David Maroto, Joanna Zieliska
Texts by Roland Barthes, Liam Gillick, Kenneth Goldsmith, Tom McCarthy, Ingo Niermann, Seth
Price, Seth Siegelaub, et al.; excerpts from artist novels by Guy de Cointet, Henry Joseph Darger,
Yayoi Kusama, Jill Magid, et al.

This publication is devoted to the phenomenon of the artist novel, and whether it can be
considered to be a medium in its own right within the visual arts. Visual artists create different
strategies to integrate their novels into their practice. Introducing traits that are particular to
narrative literature into the visual arts implies the accentuation of some features over others, such
as narration, fiction, identification, and the act of reading and its protracted engagement, as well
as distribution in public space. An artists approach comes fundamentally from the visual arts. The
creation of an artist novel doesnt differ from any other artwork. Both processes feed into each
other as they evolve within the same body of works. Thanks to the contributions of a selected
group of artists, writers, curators, and scholars this publication strives to demonstrate that
literature, when treated by visual artists, can take place well beyond the space of the book.

Eva Grubinger - Cafe Nihilismus
Pb 20x29cm 28pp 12col ills 4.95

Text by Martin Herbert

A rapid development of technology and science, a resultant feeling that reality is speeding up and
even out of control: the mood and texture of our current moment strongly resemble those of a
century ago. In Eva Grubingers exhibition Caf Nihilismus, the two eras interweave. Framed by
yellow neon writing, the sequence of sculptures and 2-D works suggests a phantasmal bar:
coffee culture and the discursive space around it being central, not least to Vienna, in the early
twentieth century and now a staple of twenty-first-century life.

As culture looks back a hundred years to the outset of the First World War, Caf Nihilismusits
very title pointing to a doubting of established cultural valuessuggests a larger, questioning
relationship between then and now, evoking such figures as Egon Friedell, Sigmund Freud, Karl
Kraus, and Adolf Loos. This slender catalogue simply and beautifully documents Grubingers
exhibition at Kerstin Engholm Gallery in Vienna (May 16June 21, 2014), and includes a text
contribution by Martin Herbert.

Pauline Boudry, Renate Lorenz Aftershow

Edited by Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz, Anja Casser, in collaboration with Electra.

As an artist book, Aftershow engages with the recent film installations of Pauline Boudry/Renate
Lorenz. Installation shots, research material, scripts, and film stills give an insight into the artists
investigation of performance in film and their dense net of references to experimental film, the
history of photography, sound, and underground (drag) performances. The books title alludes to
an interest in opaque events that are belated, left backstage or off-screen. A number of (fictitious)
letters to friends and collaborators such as Sharon Hayes, Yvonne Rainer, Ginger Brooks-
Takahashi, and Jack Smith place the work of Boudry/Lorenz in a context of debates around
temporalities, activism, the archival, decolonizing practices, and queer histories.

Isa Genzken - I'm Isa Genzken, the Only Female Fool
Pb 14x21cm 114pp 48col ills 15

Edited by Kunsthalle Wien
Foreword by Nicolaus Schafhausen; texts by Joshua Decter and Tom McDonough

The Only Female Fool is how Isa Genzken describes herself in the self-chosen title of her
exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien. This statement is typical of the fluid boundaries between deep
seriousness and the exuberant, eccentric spirit that pervades her work. Genzkens artistic
practice is characterized by a wide spectrum of media and forms, although her roots in sculpture
always remain visible. The exhibition and catalogue focus on specific aspects of her oeuvre,
including the mirror motif, the examination of architecture, and space as a social sphere; where
early works are juxtaposed with series from later creative periods. Genzkens collaboration with
other artists and her admiration for certain artistic positions is also brought into focus, and
selected works by Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter, Wolfgang
Tillmans, and Lawrence Weiner are presented in dialogue with Genzkens multilayered work.

Assign And Arrange - Methodologies Of Presentation In Art And Dance
Pb 15x21cm 280pp 24ills 15

Contributions by Ina Blom, Franziska Bork Petersen, Andrea Boi, Gabriele Brandstetter,
Ramsay Burt, Maren Butte, Fiona McGovern, Adrian Heathfield, Liz Kotz, Kirsten Maar, Marie-
France Rafael, Jrn Schafaff, Nina Schallenberg, Minnie Scott, Gregor Stemmrich, Christian
Tecker

Assign & Arrange: Methodologies of Presentation in Art and Dance aims to map the exchanges
and transgressions between art and dance that characterize the manifold variety of relations
between art and dance that can be observed today: dance performances taking place in art
galleries or public spaces, for example, or visual artists developing specific presentational formats
or exhibition displays that generate dimensions of dramaturgy and choreography for their visitors.
Terms like mise-en-scne, situation, setting, choreography, and installation are being almost
coevally used not only by theoreticians but also by contributors from both art and dance in order
to define modes of presentation or to specify visitors aesthetic experience. Taking into account
historical and current examples, and involving perspectives from art history, dance studies, and
architecture, the book explores similarities and differences in the respective practices, as well as
in the theoretical concepts they correspond with.
