Summary:
Cuttings [Supplement] is produced in association with Starling's solo exhibition at The Power Plant in 2008. The exhibition features the newly commissioned work Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore) (2007-8), a piece that collapses the history of Henry Moore's sculpture, Warrior with Shield (1953–4), with the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Ontario. This publication is a companion piece to Cuttings (2005), but stands on its own with essays focusing on the commissioned sculpture and new works made since Starling won the Turner Prize in 2005. Autoxylopyrocycloboros (2006), Nachbau (Reconstruction) (2007), and Wilhelm Noack oHG (2006), are accompanied with explanatory texts and colour illustrations.

Summary:
S'exprimant principalement par la sculpture et le dessin, Stephen Talasnik crée des paysages architecturaux fantastiques, précis et détaillés, qui donnent à voir de grandes étendues d'univers inconnus qui semblent exister hors de l'espace et du temps et qui invitent le spectateur à explorer les espaces de mondes imaginaires. Le livre inclus de nombreuses réproductions en format panoramique, avec des textes par Andreas Schalhorn et Michael Sorkin. Publié pour accompagner l'exposition qui s'est tenue à Battat Contemporary, Montréal, du 7 septembre au 23 octobre, 2010. Working primarily within the media of sculpture and drawing, Stephen Talasnik produces sprawling, fantastical, architectural landscapes. Executed with detail and precision, these works open up unexpected and unfolding worlds, which seem to exist outside of defined time and space. Within these worlds, viewers are invited to imagine endless spatial and fictive possibilities. The book includes panoramic reproductions of drawings and sculptural installations, alongside essays by Andreas Schalhorn and Michael Sorkin. Published to accompany the exhibition held at the Battat Gallery, Montréal, September 7 to October 23, 2010.

Summary:
Cette publication retrace l'ensemble du parcours de Kentridge qui, parti des réalités spécifiques du contexte sud-africain, aborde peu à peu des questions plus générales comme l'injustice sociale, la politique révolutionnaire et le pouvoir de l'expression créatrice. Kentridge a créé un DVD, spécialement destiné à accompagner cet ouvrage. Associant des séquences personnelles tournées dans son atelier et le montrant au travail et des fragments de certains de ses films, ce disque illustre l'évolution d'un projet, depuis l'idée brute initiale jusqu'à l'oeuvre achevée, et nous fait entrer de façon fascinante dans la démarche créatrice de l'artiste.

Summary:
Des lignes noires qui se coupent à angle droit, trois couleurs primaires, de grandes étendues blanches… avec ces éléments très simples, Piet Mondrian a créé un style universel, dont on retrouve l'influence un peu partout autour de nous. En construisant ses tableaux à la manière d'un architecte, avec toujours les mêmes ingrédients de base, il a expérimenté une multitude de combinaisons différentes : nuages de traits, compositions en damier, puzzles de rectangles, épais grillages noirs, rayons lumineux, vibrations musicales… autant de façons de créer une image d’équilibre et d’harmonie, sans évoquer aucune réalité particulière, pour mieux exprimer ce que Mondrian appelait «l’émotion sereine de l’universel».

Summary:
The rising Copenhagen painter Tal R, born in Israel and represented in New York by Zach Feuer Gallery and in Berlin by Contemporary Fine Arts, here presents new works composed in a palette limited to unmixed brown, red, orange, white, pink, yellow and green. Tal R's painting is fundamentally borne up by a collage principle where the narrative is increasingly subsumed in certain abstract ground rules. With splashing brush and slapdash layering, he paints gleefully in impossible materials, with undisguised clashes and references in the content. This monographic exhibition catalogue says something with painting, not about painting. The design is perfect.

Summary:
Emergency Exit, the installation exposed and explored in this full-color book, merges the disciplines of architecture and art within a collaborative dialogue between artists Agnieszka Kurant and Aleksandra Wasilkowska, who represented Poland with this project at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice in 2010. In their essay, the artists present the ideas behind Emergency Exit and the concept of ''urban portable holes,'' and such artifacts as Utopian Ruins and Fictional Sports. An archive of reference images, theories, films, and documents inspire and support their work within expanding and interrelated subjects; critics add commentary, and Hans Ulrich Obrist conducts a dual interview with Kurant and Wasilkowska.
