Albert Oehlen, Julian Schnabel


Holzwarth Publications 2018 ISBN 9783947127085 Acqn 28870
Hb 24x30cm 80pp 35col ills £39.50

Since the 1980s, from both sides of the Atlantic, the artists Albert Oehlen and Julian Schnabel
have continually questioned and reinvented painting with the help of conceptual strategies, an
open approach to style, and a surprising use of found materials. They have been friends for three
decades, and now, at a 2018 exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin, they interconnect their
current artistic positions and their shared past. Beside large-format canvases and smaller works
on paper, the two present portraits they made of each other: Albert Oehlen in an oversized,
ecclesiastical-looking frock in a positively baroque painting from 1997, and Julian Schnabel in
strictly gray hues lounging on a couch, painted specifically for the occasion. In his new paintings
shown here, Oehlen reworks the forms and colors he first used in his early abstract work of the
mid-1980s with an evolved easiness of invention. Schnabel at that time started painting on used
tarpaulins, and here again he collects found fabric, painting on the covers for market stands in
Mexico. These bring their own specific marks and stories, over which the artist adds large
gestural forms that evoke landscapes, flowers, or figures. An essay by art historian Christian
Malycha elucidates this special meeting of minds, while painter Glenn Brown delivers a veritable
declaration of love for the work of his two colleagues.

Danh Vo – Relics
Mousse Publishing 2018 ISBN 9788867491414 Acqn 28620
Hb 13x19cm 100pp ills £28.75

“A relic is what remains, what’s left over.” In this memoir once-removed, Andrew Berardini
journeys into the heart of the work of Danh Vo to discover how historical forces find form in our
individual lives. Inspired by an exhibition never seen in Mexico City, Berardini’s deeply personal
investigation of Vo’s work weaves one story into the other and finds along the way the clash and
mesh of civilizations, a sexy Statue of Liberty, the head of a decapitated martyr, the collapse of
the American labour movement, John Keats’ tombstone, the holy trinity in a license plate, the
ravages of war, a battered encyclopaedia, a terrorist’s typewriter, the history of saints in a boy’s
wing. In Relics, Berardini explores through Vo’s work how art and poetry gives utterance to
history’s shadows on our lives; and through it, to make our own stories. This is the second
volume of “Air Mexico,” a literary series investigating art exhibitions initiated by Mousse and
commissioned by kurimanzutto.

Gerald van der Kaap – Iwantapermanentwave


Duizend & Een 2018 ISBN 9789071346507 Acqn 28893
Hb 22x17cm 48pp 48 col ills £16.50

The new metro station at Europaplein in Amsterdam, besides fulfilling its public transport function,
is an immersive experience. Upon entering the station, you find yourself inside a huge
dromoscopic work of art. French cultural theorist Paul Virilio first coined the term "dromology",
which he defined as the "science (or logic) of speed", and it is this concept that has inspired artist
Gerald van der Kaap's design for the station. In fact, there are two artworks, depending on your
perception. One is visible as you stand on the platform. The other you see while riding the metro
train, moving and blending as you look out the window. This book reveals the ideas behind the
artwork.

Leo Copers - Dreams Are Made Of This


Ludion 2018 ISBN 9789491819926 Acqn 28921
Hb 21x26cm 352pp col ills £43.50

This monograph on the Belgian artist Leo Copers comprises a survey of 50 years of artistic
practice (1968-2018). It shows how Copers has continually sought ways to connect seemingly
incompatible elements, such as gas and fire, or water and electricity. This tension has been an
essential element of his work up to the present day. The book is arranged in themed sections -
early works, gold, flowers, fairy tales, site-specific, weapons - in an attempt to bring structure to
an eclectic and highly diverse oeuvre. Hilde Teerlinck recorded a series of conversations with the
artist which offer a personal insight into his work. Ory Dessau and Philippe Van Cauteren
contribute illuminating texts.

'Le Large' gathers work by French artist Julie Beaufils, plus three specially commissioned short
stories by Buck Ellison, Reba Maybury, and Michael Van den Abeele. Ink drawings by Beaufils
form the core of this small-format book, which deals with social tensions and emotional
explosions. The figures she depicts come from memories of films or television series, sediments
of mass culture, or from personal observations and experiences. Words often become part of the
compositions. Their meanings depend on the images they provoke, on the relations and ruptures
readers may imagine. The interpretation these open-ended works trigger makes their reading

proponent of Op art, the British artist is known to use a variety of geometric forms that produce
sensations of movement or colour for the viewer, at once disorienting or even psychedelic.
Spanning her career, the exhibition and publication highlight more than 30 paintings, including
key examples of her famous black-and-white works of the 1960s, the stripe paintings of the
1970s, and curve paintings from the 1990s, as well as her more recent wall paintings.

Formist 2018 ISBN 9780987526809 Acqn 27891
Hb 15x22cm 306pp 250col ills £43.95

British artist and designer Daniel Eatock creates concept-driven pieces that explore the recording
of actions. For twenty years he has repurposed the conventional tools of graphic design -
coloured felt-tip pens and white paper - to produce his most distinctive work. Working in series,
Eatock rests the nibs of pens on stacks of paper, which over time produces abstract, organic
sequences that range from bright dots to bleeding pools of intense colour. By devising
mechanisms to systematically create art, he controls the execution but embraces chance in an
experimental approach. With an essay by Andrew Blauvelt, this fine book is the first dedicated
survey of Eatock's felt-tip prints.

Illustrator Miroslav Sasek grew up in Prague and left his homeland in 1947 to find success
drawing travel books designed for children. He lived in Paris but was often off globetrotting,
gathering inspiration and making sketches for his illustrations. 'Questa non e una pietra' is the
particular account of one of his Roman holidays, where he imagines Moses taking a Vespa to
reach the Sinai, Nero watching Rome burn on the television, a satisfied Medusa observing her
new hairstyle in the mirror, Cicero addressing the major broadcast networks, David in the act of
mugging his next victim, the Discobolus poised and ready to knock down all nine pins, and many

What does it mean to speak of artistic autonomy at a time when art is fully commercialised and
aesthetics has become the guiding principle of economic production and policymaking? This book
by Sebastian Olma takes a fresh look at this question by summoning three heroes of the
aesthetic revolution to confront the challenges faced by artistic practice today. Turning Kant into a
campaigner for the Anthropocene, Schiller into a creative entrepreneur, and Schelling into a
political activist, Olma lays the groundwork for a critique that identifies "the contemporary" itself
as contemporary art's greatest challenge in the struggle to reinvent its autonomy and regain its
relevance to society.

In the summer of 1955, Picasso moved his studio to early 20th century villa 'La Californie' near
Cannes. The large Jugendstil windows and the view on a garden with cactuses, eucalyptus, and
palm trees found their way into Picasso's paintings. Picasso called them "interior landscapes". In
the past years, Marijn van Kreij has worked on a series of drawings and paintings modeled after
Picasso's interior landscapes, focusing on the act of drawing and painting through repetition and
variation. This ring bound postcard book published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Nude in the

Midnight: The Tempest Essays, the second book in Molly Nesbit’s Pre-Occupations series,

philosophical crisis.

Illustrated case studies on Eugène Atget, Marcel Duchamp, Jean-Luc Godard, Cindy Sherman,
Louise Lawler, Rachel Whiteread, Gabriel Orozco, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Lawrence Weiner, Nancy
Spero, Rem Koolhaas, Martha Rosler, Gerhard Richter, Matthew Barney and Richard Serra,

on sophisticated, audacious colour juxtapositions and organic forms, inspired by art but also the
seductive curves of the human body and nature". In them we recognise his fascination with
Australia's often bizarre native flora and fauna, as well as the natural topographies of the Great

Yoshitoshi Tsukioka (1839-1892) was an ukiyo-e artist in the late Tokugawa and early Meiji
periods. While specializing first and foremost in warrior pictures and historical depictions in the
style of his master Kuniyoshi Utagawa, he was also active in other genres, including bijin-ga
portraits of beautiful women, and caricature. One Hundred Aspects of the Moon represents the
final stage of his career. As the title suggests, the series comprises a total of one hundred items,
telling all sorts of stories related to the moon in one way or another. The broad range of
characters appearing in these varied stories includes women in the Heian period, generals in the
Sengoku period, and common people in the Edo period, and also ghosts and other mythical
creatures.

The painterly language of Japanese artist Atsushi Suwa resembles Early Renaissance
portraiture, while the carefully depicted facial expression of the subjects and the framing of their
bodies reminds us of photography. Seen as short, frozen moments of life, his works emphasise
the fragility of human life and serve as a reflection on our path towards death, which is itself a
recurring motif in Suwa's paintings. Another is the celebration of femininity. His women are not
merely beautiful - they seem injured, but carry their pain with internal strength, self-confidence,
and dignity, gazing inwards as if recollecting past experiences. Suwa's strangely spectral realism
comes to the fore in this book.

geometric abstraction. Fange subverts the ostensible order and clarity of his surfaces by injecting
layers of dynamism, whether through flat, patterned fields or perspectives that challenge the eye.

The work of artist Anna Amadio is varied and fascinating. Since the mid-1990s she has been

had an intense leaning towards colour/paint, on the one hand, and plastic on the other, which she
either blows up to make air objects, vacuums into larger-than-life lanes/passage-ways, covers
whole rooms with or heats up so as to make shrunken objects. This richly illustrated publication
provides a survey of Anna Amadio's work of the last 25 years and brings together texts
highlighting different phases in her career. In a conversation with Peter Strohler the artist talks

In a world driven by efficiency, speed, and standardisation, Dutch visual artist Frank Havermans
envisions installations that slow down time. The futuristic, alienating constructions are literally
redefining public space as we know it. These "interventions" invite us to experience space in an
alternative way, challenging us to consider the identity of a particular location. Appearing rational,
their geometric structures signal a latent mechanical intent. Havermans depicts an exhilarating
style of shape and form in which objects have a distinct appeal, somewhere between archaic and
futuristic. With texts by Lene ter Haar and Fabian de Kloe, Aaron Betsky, and Jens Maier-Rothe.

In a time when the last surviving Holocaust witnesses will soon be gone, a possible route for
commemoration is to ask what testimony images can give. This book seeks to answer the
question of how images can bear witness, by examining them as multifaceted entities produced,
reproduced, and resituated in conflicting political and historical situations. The archival status,
context, conditions for production, and means for representation are examined in three archive-
based films by Harun Farocki, Yael Hersonski, and Eyal Sivan. Footage produced as internal
Nazi propaganda and video recordings of a politically charged trial in the Holocaust's aftermath
accrue new meaning.

Scenography is not an autonomous art form. Its significance and capacity to visualise emerges in
the interaction with the actors on stage and is preceded by the collaboration with directors and
other artists involved in creating a performance. Therein lies the challenge for the stage designer.
Lars-Ake Thessman is one of Sweden's most acclaimed scenographers, and here he discusses
the profession based on six different perspectives, guiding readers through the creative process.
Through both image and text, he touches on the collaboration with the director and illustrates how

The banality of his subjects is enveloped in an air suffused with the subtle aroma of mystery,
which in some cases verges on an uncanny, eerie, or strange feeling that makes the viewer feel
worried or uneasy. Published with an exhibition of Puche's work at CAC Malaga, this catalogue
