Nicole Eisenman - Al-ugh-ories

New Museum Of Contemporary Art 2016 ISBN 9781942607311 Acqn 26358
Pb 19x23cm 92pp 92ills 44col 19.95
One of the most important painters of her generation, Brooklyn-based artist Nicole Eisenman
(born 1965) combines the imaginative with the lucid, the absurd with the banal, and the
stereotypical with the countercultural and queer. In her narrative compositions she draws equally
from art history and popular culture, making way for accessible and humorous, yet also critical
and poignant images of contemporary life. Gathering a body of work produced over the last two
decades, Nicole Eisenman: Al-ugh-ories marks the artists 2016 exhibition at the New Museum
and dedicates special attention to the symbolic nature of her depictions of individuals and groups.
This fully illustrated catalogue includes an interview with the artist by Massimiliano Gioni and
Helga Christoffersen, an essay by writer Grace Dunham and a contribution by poet Eileen Myles.

Goshka Macuga - Time as Fabric

New Museum Of Contemporary Art 2016 ISBN 9781942607335 Acqn 26359
Pb 19x24cm 132pp 132ills 84col 19.95
London-based artist Goshka Macuga (born 1967) embraces diverse mediums--including
sculpture, installation, architecture and design--to investigate how art has been used to rouse
public debate and inspire social change. Macugas 2016 exhibition at the New Museum, Goshka
Macuga: Time as Fabric, brings together a theatrical environment and a selection of tapestries,
which draw on the rich historical tradition of textiles and are often vast in scale. Drawn to textiles
for their rich historical tradition, Macuga exploits the representative functions of the medium,
which can be used to embody political messages while also maintaining tapestrys tactility and
portability. This fully illustrated catalogue features an interview with the artist by Margot Norton
and new reflections on Macugas work by artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov and curator Grant
Watson.

Cally Spooner - On False Tears and Outsourcing

New Museum Of Contemporary Art 2016 ISBN 9781942607342 Acqn 26366
Pb 19x24cm 120pp 136ills 76col 19.95
The live performances of British artist Cally Spooner (born 1983) consider the ways in which labor
and communication make demands on our bodies. Spooner engages actors, vocalists, dancers
and musicians who collectively interrogate gesture and language. The artists 2016 exhibition at
the New Museum, Cally Spooner: On False Tears and Outsourcing, marks an important shift in
her live performances, extending their duration to the length of a museum exhibition. The
choreography is structured according to the logic of corporate development meetings, and
appropriates gestures from both romantic movies and competitive contact sports. This catalogue
contains an essay by Helga Christoffersen, an interview between Spooner and Documenta 14
curator Hendrik Folkerts, and a contribution by artist Dan Graham.

Andra Ursuta Alps

New Museum Of Contemporary Art 2016 ISBN 9781942607328 Acqn 26367
Pb 19x24cm 120pp 120ills 76col 19.95
Combining formal innovation with dark humour and social commentary, the work of Romanianborn artist Andra Ursuta (born 1979) uses parody and blasphemy to expose power dynamics,
probe the vulnerability of the human body and examine modes of desire. Ursutas sculptures and
installations engage a visual language that weaves an art-historical homage with a homespun,
anarchic sensibility. Ursuta has lived in the US since the late 1990s, but many of the facets of her
upbringing--from occult folk traditions to nationalist propaganda--resonate throughout her work.
This volume, the artists first catalogue, marks her 2016 solo exhibition at the New Museum. It
features an interview between Ursuta and Massimiliano Gioni, a new essay by Natalie Bell and a
sardonic aesthetic prescription by artist Maurizio Cattelan.
