Summary:
American Surrealist artist Dorothea Tanning worked across painting, sculpture, printmaking, installation and writing over the course of seven decades, producing one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic oeuvres. This fully illustrated catalog highlights Tanning’s works created between the 1950s and ’90s, a particularly fruitful period in the artist’s career, and traces her stylistic arc through over 20 significant paintings drawn from interrelated phases of the artist’s practice.

Summary:
Turrell is undoubtedly the most influential contemporary light artist. In Geometry of Light, an extraordinary body of work covering several decades is assessed. At the book's center is the series of works known as Sky Spaces, a signature Turrell conception in which the sky is made to seem "on top of" the room's ceiling, and which has become a mini-genre unto itself within light art. Academic, philosophical and art-historical essays explicate these perceptual spaces, whose evolution is closely allied to Turrell's development of the Roden Crater Project in the Arizona desert, where he began constructing an observatory in 1974. Also included is the latest installation, "Skyspace/Camera Obscura Space," which Turrell conceived for the Zentrum fur Internationale Lichtkunst in Unna, Germany.

Summary:
Olga Prader's engraved epic reminds me, surprisingly, more of Sartre's vision of hell in ‘Huis Close’ than of Picasso's ‘Suite Vollard’, although the strictly formally paraphrase of the latter is as obvious as brilliant. Prader's four elementary archetypes are suffering a predictable and repetitive social intercourse, their positions are locked and no major change in the(...)

Summary:
Olga Prader's engraved epic reminds me, surprisingly, more of Sartre's vision of hell in ‘Huis Close’ than of Picasso's ‘Suite Vollard’, although the strictly formally paraphrase of the latter is as obvious as brilliant. Prader's four elementary archetypes are suffering a predictable and repetitive social intercourse, their positions are locked and no major change in the sequence is likely to happen (even if it does). The drawings, however, contains an exuberant dynamics. Prader, unlike most generation peers, is more oriented towards a subjective, imagination driven expression than smart and trendy stylistics.If you love Picasso, you will love Prader even more!

Julien Langendorff (1982) lives and works in Paris, France. His work combines papercuts, mysterious installations, raw pen and ink drawings with esoteric stream of conscious poetry that is both totally sincere and eerily haunting. The pencil drawings he made for this zine with Nieves conjure up visions influenced by gothic and hippie cultures, Black Sabbath, spiritism and diary-art, along the somehow dark teenage romantism that characterizes his art.
