Summary:
Anthony McCall’s works can be defined as half way between sculpture and cinema. Sculpture because the shapes fill a three-dimensional space, and therefore one can move around them or walk through them; cinema because the shapes and spaces are made of projected light, that little by little changes its form in time. The book “Breath [the vertical works]” analyses the(...)

The book “Breath [the vertical works]” analyses the artist’s works from their aesthetic peculiarities through the creative course of the author. The text by Hal Foster is rich in references to 20th century history and philosophy, and puts McCall’s works in the wide context of contemporary artistic research.

Summary:
In [Fake] Fake Estates: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark's Fake Estates, Hogue spent several months systematically canvassing Queens, NY, for residual properties similar to the fourteen parcels purchased there and documented by Matta-Clark in 1975. Best known for his spatially dynamic extractions of large sections of walls and floors from abandoned buildings, Matta-Clark, one of the most important American conceptual artists of the 1970s, had purchased the Queens properties with the goal of highlighting neglected architectural environments that make up the urban and suburban fabric. Hogue's drawings, collages, and photographs that make up this book articulates those moments when conventions for establishing the location and the precise boundaries of a site produce a conceptual "excess of surveying", inviting speculation as to the value and purpose of land and revealing the conceptual potential of "real" sites- even small and unusable ones without architectural potential.

Summary:
From 1967, up until his death, Eduardo Paolozzi was involved with the innovative British literary magazine Ambit, using its pages as a space for some of his most experimental and innovative creations, pushing at the boundary between text and image. Collages, visual essays and fragments from novels, drawing on pop culture images from newspapers, magazines and advertisements. Reprinted in their entirety for the first time, Paolozzi’s works for Ambit tackle the war in Vietnam, the acceleration of Japanese technology, and the utopias of mass advertising. This publication reproduces the Paolozzi pages from Ambit along with magazine covers, poems and advertisements that originally appeared alongside the artist’s work. The book is housed in a day-glo pink sleeve that also contains an essay written by David Brittain which puts Paolozzi’s work for the magazine into context. An exhibition, inspired by the book, will be at Raven Row in London from 4 September to 1 November 2009.

Summary:
Silvia Bächli was invited to design the official contribution for the Swiss Pavilion at this year’s Biennale in Venice. This book offers a look inside her studio and documents the preparation of her works for the Biennale, illustrating her working process with spatial situations and snapshots that show her trying out various constellations as well as focusing on individual works and groups. The works and pictures from the artist’s studio are combined with photographs of her working stay in Iceland. Bächli has developed her body of drawings over the course of three decades, using varying formats and techniques. Drawing, for her, is a movement of seeing, of gentle deviations and displacements within the gravitational field of an aimless attentiveness to things and dreamlike phenomena that doesn’t really come to rest even in the finished drawing. The result is not just painterly moments; the drawings often seem to capture, as if in film stills, a cinematic look way of looking at bodies and things or their details, at landscapes, gestures, structures, and processes.

Summary:
Gabriel Orozco emerged at the beginning of the 1990s as one of the most intriguing and original artists of his generation. His work is unique in its formal power and intellectual rigor, resisting confinement to one medium and roaming freely and fluently among drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and painting. Orozco deliberately blurs the boundary between the art object and the everyday environment, situating his work in a place that merges art and reality, whether through exquisite drawings made on airplane boarding passes or sculptures composed of recovered trash. This publication examines two decades of the artist's production year by year, from 1989 through 2009. Each section is richly illustrated and includes a short text, based on interviews with the artist, that combines biographical information with a brief and focused discussion of selected works. Critical essays by Ann Temkin, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh and Briony Fer supplement these foundational and chronological explorations, providing new insights and strategies for grounding Orozco's work in the larger landscape of contemporary art production.
