Turning Inward
Sternberg Press 2015 ISBN 9783956790904 Acqn 24872
Pb 17x22cm 236pp 51ills 29col 11.50

David Joselit, William Kherbek, John Miller, Reza Negarestani, Matteo Pasquinelli, Dieter
Roelstraete.
Turning Inward comprises a selection of texts by international artists, critics, and curators, which
aims to renegotiate the relationship between centres and peripheries in contemporary art worlds.
In the context of advanced globalization, the distributed agency of networked power structures
can hardly be localized any longer in geographical terms. Yet, if we are to turn our attention away
from geographicalthat is, horizontalrelations, we can conceive of the central and peripheral
as vertical phenomena that can coexist spatially in the shapes of social constructions,
genealogies, or epistemic formations. Against this backdrop Turning Inward provides a
heterogeneous range of critical reflections upon contemporary art and its modes of production,
distribution, and consumption. Reaching far beyond the spatial metaphor, the positions
assembled in this volume touch on fields such as art history, philosophy, economics, gender
studies, urbanism, language, and education.

Chto Delat - Time Capsule. Artistic Report On Catastrophes And Utopias. Secession
Revolver Publishing by VVV 2014 ISBN 9783957630186 Acqn 24857
Pb 23x31cm 160pp 145ills 125col 16
Chto Delat (What is to be done?) is a collective that was founded in St. Petersburg in 2003 and
counts artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from St. Petersburg and Moscow among its
members. The collective responded to the urgent need to merge political theory, art, and
activism. Its activities include art projects, educational seminars, and public campaigns; its
productions range from video and theatre plays to radio programs and murals. The collective also
publishes the Russian-English newspaper Chto delat?, which covers questions of culture and
politics in an international context.
With the exhibition Time Capsule Artistic Report on Catastrophes and Utopia, Chto Delat respond
to the current situation in Russia, the crisis in Ukraine, and the resulting threat of a new Cold War.
Together with the graduates of the School of Engaged Art they established in Saint Petersburg in
2013, the collective has created The Excluded. In a Moment of Danger, a four-channel video
installation that runs just under an hour in which they reflect on their own sense of exposure and
perplexity.
The artist's book Time Capsule. Artistic Report on Catastrophes and Utopia documents the long
time cooperation of the collective; it illustrates their oeuvre in the form of a poster timeline and a
lexicon and includes issue #38 of the journal Chto Delat?, which was published in conjunction
with the exhibition.

Transfigurations
Wexner Center For The Arts 2015 ISBN 9781881390558 Acqn 24662
Hb 24x32cm 184pp 92ills 87col 46.95
In celebration of its 25th anniversary in fall 2014, the Wexner Center for the Arts presented an
unprecedented exhibition of the personal collection of Leslie and Abigail Wexner.
Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection features an in-depth
selection of masterworks by Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti and Jean Dubuffet. With its
concentrated focus on these three twentieth-century virtuosos, along with additional works by
Edgar Degas, Willem de Kooning and Susan Rothenberg, the Wexner Family Collection is truly
incomparable to any other private collection formed over the last 50 years. Guest curated by
Robert Storr, professor and dean of the Yale University School of Art, the exhibition and
accompanying catalogue bring fresh perspective to these artists and examine the figurative
impulses that connect them. The comprehensive catalogue features essays by such leading art
historians and curators as James Demetrion, Valerie Fletcher, Lisa Florman, Marilyn McCully,
Diana Widmaier Picasso, Robert Storr and the late Kirk Varnedoe, as well as entries on the 60
objects in the exhibition. Apart from the singular significance of each individual work, both the
catalogue and exhibition demonstrate the persistence of the human figure in art throughout the
twentieth century and into our own.
