Summary:
Donald Judd was one of the most important exponents of American Minimal Art. Among the lesser-known aspects of his work are the numerous built architectural projects in which he explores the relationship between architecture art, furniture, and landscape. One particular location was of great significance to Judd’s architectural work: Fort D.R. Russell, a former US military base in the Chihuahuan desert on the southern edge of the pioneer town of Marfa, Texas. Judd acquired the fort and other structures in Marfa which he systematically converted into one of the largest ensemble collections of contemporary art in the world.

Dans '' Rouge feu, bleu Klein, vert mélèze,'' Éva Prouteau parcourt l’ensemble de la pratique artistique d’Eva Taulois, abordant de concert son rapport à la couleur, à la sculpture et à la circulation des œuvres dans l’espace d’exposition. Elle revient également sur l’emploi de supports habituellement négligés car jugés purement décoratifs, tels que les textiles, les tapis ou des formes de mobilier (étagères, table et assises). Réalisé à partir de plusieurs entretiens menés à l’automne 2017 dans l’atelier d’Eva Taulois, le livre articule les réflexions de l’auteure avec des extraits de ces entretiens retranscrits directement dans le corps du texte, ainsi que de nombreuses reproductions d’œuvres en couleur.

Summary:
Rarely seen together, the artworks of Josef Albers (1888–1976) and Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) share many similarities. Although they never met, both artists worked in series as they explored difference and potential through their distinctive treatment of color, shape, form, and morphology. They were also both influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists and experts in proportion, they tackled similar conceits from different perspectives. Albers focused on the effects of subtle or bold changes and interactions in color, while Morandi made still lifes that treat simple objects as a cast of characters on a stage, exploring their relationship in space. Published on the occasion of the critically acclaimed exhibition ''Albers and Morandi: Never Finished'' at David Zwirner New York in 2021, the book illuminates the visual conversation between these two artists.

Summary:
This volume brings together the paintings and drawings of Elizabeth Murray (1940–2007) and the work of New York–based sculptor Jessi Reaves (born 1986). Despite the generations that separate Murray and Reaves, this publication highlights each artist’s lyrical, playful, and rigorous engagements with the decorative, domestic, and bodily. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, this book explores Murray’s and Reaves’s often ambiguous conceptions of the body and the home, wherein both body and home are continuously coming together and falling apart. The publication features a newly commissioned conversation between Reaves and Johanna Fateman, as well as a reprint of a historical interview between Murray and Kate Horsfield, which together chart the two artists’ irreverent plays with color and form, high and low cultural references, and notions of masculinity and femininity.

Summary:
Créé en 1993 par l'artiste allemand Martin Kippenberger, le MOMAS (Museum of Modern Art Syros) est un musée d'artiste ouvert jusqu'en 1996 et situé sur l'île de Syros dans les Cyclades. Installé dans un bâtiment inachevé, Kippenberger y invitait ses amis artistes à y faire des projets et à y déposer des œuvres. Cosima von Bonin, Hubert Kiecol, Stephen Prina, Christopher Wool (qui en réalisa la signalétique), Lukas Baumewerd, Michel Majerus, Michael Krebber, Heimo Zobernig furent parmi les artistes invités à intervenir dans un lieu destiné à un public fort réduit (une dizaine de personnes tout au plus). Le MAMCO conserve la quasi-totalité de ce qui a été produit dans le cadre de cette utopie muséale. Cet ouvrage en restistitue pour la première fois l'historique complet tant du point de vue de l'économie générale de l'art de Kippenberger (Daniel Baumann), que de la logique propre à ce bureau des projets et à ses relations avec le MAMCO (Thierry Davila). On y découvre notamment comment le musée alternatif peut être un outil de travail pour le musée institué.

Summary:
'Abitata pietra' (lived-in stone) is a publishing project by Antonio Cammareri, Stefania D’Amato, and Luogo Comune. It is an intense investigation, a graphic and geographical visual narration, a landscape of signs, a collection of illustrations that analyse particular and global elements, fragments and entities, in an attempt to define the rupestrian landscape that connects the italian territories of Matera, Montescaglioso, and many other towns and 'inhabited topographies' all over the world. The book is the result of site specific research and narrative experimentation carried out collectively by the artists and includes five photographic contributions on rupestrian civilisation.
