Summary:
Published in conjunction with the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, this monograph presents the most up-to-date compilation of the spatial and architectural works of New Mexico–based artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941). Through his neons, corridors and room installations, Nauman accentuates the contrast between the perceptual and physical experience of space. Perception itself can be interpreted as the subject matter of his work; the aesthetic experience of entering a narrow corridor or an empty room flooded with neon light supersedes the art 'objects' in the viewer’s experience. The volume includes newly commissioned essays on Nauman's conceptual developments and formal variations by scholars, conservators and curators such as Joan Simon, Francesca Esmay and Gloria Sutton, and a text by the exhibition curators. Alongsidephotographic documentation of the show, the publication also features entries for the 30 works on display written by researchers from international institutions.

Summary:
Bruce Nauman is a restlessly inventive artist. Since the late 1960s he has shaped our understanding of how contemporary art can both reflect and comment on our experience of ourselves and of the world. Focusing on his experiments with sound, language, moving image and immersive installations, this book includes texts on Nauman’s video works of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as on the development of his studio practice over a period of fifty years, along with a conversation between the artist, Andrea Lissoni, and Nicholas Serota. Nauman is here revealed as an artist who has made his mark on the art of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Summary:
Ce livre est une étude de la réception de l’artiste américain Cy Twombly (1928-2011) par la critique américaine, de sa première exposition à la rétrospective que lui a consacré le Museum of Modern Art de New York en 1994-1995. Il examine d’abord le statut du peintre dans le contexte du triomphe de l’expressionnisme abstrait durant la première partie de sa carrière, relayé par le pop’art et l’art minimal, au moment ou l’artiste s’installe en Europe, et par la décennie du postminimal qui ouvre quelques brèches dans le mainstream formaliste et moderniste jusque-là dominant. Les années 1980 et 1990 sont celles d’une réévaluation de ces critères par le discours postmoderne, dans laquelle l’artiste se trouve pris et dont il devient même une figure remarquable. La réception de Twombly aux États-Unis est donc symptomatique, au long de sa carrière, d’horizons d’attente et de présupposés qui gouvernent la critique et l’histoire de l’art en fonction des préoccupations du moment.

This is a walk through a decade’s worth of work by Misha Kahn. Glitzy, wobbly, hairy, witty—no number of adjectives aptly describes an output so vast, one which ranges from underwater mosaic sculptures and scrap-metal chaise longues to a gem-encrusted, wrist-worn, labyrinth-style ball game.

Summary:
This is a walk through a decade’s worth of work by Misha Kahn. Glitzy, wobbly, hairy, witty—no number of adjectives aptly describes an output so vast, one which ranges from underwater mosaic sculptures and scrap-metal chaise longues to a gem-encrusted, wrist-worn, labyrinth-style ball game. Neither strictly an artist nor a designer, Misha himself emphatically avoids categorisation for the very real fear it might box him in and close off fresh, breakable ground. It’s this boundless energy for every new material or technical challenge, combined with his singular ideas and aesthetics, that has made Misha a leading creative voice of his generation.

Summary:
''Nicola L.: Life and art'' is the first comprehensive monograph about the pioneering artist Nicola L. (1932-2018), whose wide-ranging work—impossible to categorise—challenged ideas about identity, gender, and the body long before such questions were de rigueur. Born in Morocco to French parents, she spent her formative years in Paris attending the Beaux-Arts, only to burn most of her paintings in 1965 and move towards formats that engaged people more directly: wall-mounted canvases that could be worn as costumes, sculptures that doubled as seats, coats designed for many people to wear at once, or films about radical political figures. Far from settling in a time and place, she travelled the world, finding physical and artistic homes in the free-spirited community of Ibiza, in countercultural New York, and even, briefly, in a Lebanese jail. The art Nicola made stemmed from the life she lived—there were no boundaries between the two. This book follows the same logic, intertwining both throughout its 304 pages.

Summary:
A hook echo is a radar signature for the part of a supercell tornado wherein the clouds come together with maximum force. Its name derives from the hook-shaped formation with which it shows up on a weather radar. In 1974 a supercell tornado hit the city of Xenia, Ohio (US), demolishing around 1400 buildings. This publication juxtaposes two sequences made of found collections: a set of 48 photographs that capture the aftermath of the Ohio tornado, and 22 pages from an album of compiled crochet samples. In this new context, the images relate to each other as a series of structures that become physical matter, accumulations of material. HOOK ECHO is the first installment of DRAGNET, an ongoing series informed by existing sets of images: archives, collections, unseen documents, or works in progress. Each DRAGNET publication is printed in a limited edition and contains an original print.

Summary:
''Oscar Tuazon: Building'' collects works spanning more than twenty years, presented as a visual essay on experimental space-making that culminates in the two major exhibitions of the artists' work planned for 2023. Balanced on the fulcrum between sculpture and architecture, the work of Oscar Tuazon uses processes of modeling and construction to transform the spaces of exhibition into a field for performative, improvisatory forms of building. Tracing a trajectory of sculptural interruptions in the utilitarian-built environment, the career survey at Kunst Museum Winterthur frames the progression of Tuazon's work through a series of objects. The project at Bergen Kunsthall concentrates on the scale model as a propositional device for imagining other spaces, as well as a means of temporary occupation of the exhibition space, culminating in a 1:1 scale model of the artist's current work Water School.
