Summary:
A fierce activist for women’s rights and against climate change, Judy Chicago defines herself best: “I’m Judy Chicago, and I’m an artist and a troublemaker.” A leader of the Women’s Art Movement of the 1970s, Chicago also founded the first feminist art program in the United States. She is renowned for her monumental installation ''The Dinner Party'' (1974–1979), an iconic work that celebrates female luminaries from history and mythology, including Georgia O’Keefe, Emily Dickinson, Sojourner Truth, and Hatshepsut. Gathered from interviews and other sources, Judy Chicago-isms is an inspiring collection of the memorable and powerful words of a trailblazing artist.

Summary:
Life in the digital economy of information and images enriches us but often induces a sense of being overwhelmed. ''Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts'' considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion, and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy as a pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment.

Summary:
This book brings together the Palabrarmas series by the Chilean-born artist, poet and activist Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948). Images of these works - each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics - appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. Palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. Taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, Vicuña’s Palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism, and visual art. Each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge.

Summary:
Inspired initially by Jerome Rothenberg’s translation Flower World Variations, which Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948) first encountered in 1985, ''Cecilia Vicuña: Deer Book'' brings together nearly 40 years of the artist’s poetry, "poethical" translations and drawings related to cosmologies and mythologies surrounding the deer, and sacrificial dance in cultures around the world. Woven like one of her quipu installations, Vicuña’s texts—which include original compositions in Spanish as well as English translations by Daniel Borzutzky—become meditations on translation, not just of the sacred nature of this animal but on how our understandings of ceremony and ritual are transformed by this ongoing process. Taken as inspiration rather than conundrum, the impossibility of translation opens up poetic possibilities for Vicuña as she continues her lifelong exploration into the nature of communication across eras and distant lands, languages and shared symbols within Indigenous spiritualities.

Summary:
Over the past twenty years, Camille Henrot has developed a critically acclaimed practice that moves seamlessly between drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and film. ''Mother Tongue'' is Henrot’s first publication focused solely on painting and drawing, bringing together over 200 works from the series ''System of Attachment'', ''Wet Job'', and ''Soon'', created between 2018 and 2022. This recent body of work addresses the ambivalent nature of care and the tension between the simultaneous developmental need for attachment and independence, beginning at infancy and continuing throughout life. Her deeply personal and intimate interrogations ultimately relate to broader questions such as the expectations placed on mothers and the representation of the female body. This richly illustrated catalogue is accompanied by texts from Emily LaBarge, Legacy Russell, Marcus Steinweg, Hélene Cixous, Seamus Kealy, and a conversation with Camille Henrot and curator Julika Bosch.

Summary:
Douzième titre de la collection " l'atelier du sculpteur ", le catalogue Paysages d'entre-villes est consacré à la question du paysage contemporain, aux limites de la ville et de la nature sauvage dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler les terrains vagues, les territoires périphériques, les friches. Autan de paysage dont le lien direct avec nos craintes inconscientes n'a rien à envier aux paysages extrêmes des romantiques. C'est dans les zones périphériques que l'on trouve aujourd'hui les mystères, les légendes, les frayeurs qui, autrefois, hantaient les forêts aux abords des villes et des villages. C'est cet équilibre instable et dynamique du paysage qu'abordent les artistes réunis dans le catalogue de cette exposition en confrontation avec la série "Sculpture pour l'architecture" que Zadkine a réalisée dans la deuxième moitié des années 1960.

Summary:
Recalling the short-lived Bureau de recherches surréalistes of 1924–1925 - part information centre and ‘public relations’ office, and part surrealist archive - Mark Dion has trawled the Manchester Museum’s own collections and found the raw material for this book and a new installation in the museum. Museums’ attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. Renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology and ecology, Mark Dion in his "Bureau" documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchester’s neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, Egyptian fakes and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice and lain abandoned. Dion’s "Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacy" is both a repository for the detritus of museum life and a working process, classifying the museum’s un-classifiable whilst exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.
