Summary:
First published in 2017 and quickly going out of print, Ellsworth Kelly: Plant Drawings features more than 30 drawings made by Kelly between 1949 and 2008. Despite the immediacy of their execution and their representational content, the most striking surprise of Kelly’s plant drawings is how much they share with his abstract paintings and sculptures.

Summary:
Née en 1925, Valentine Schlegel a développé une pratique plastique quotidienne entre Paris et Sète. À l'image d'un couteau suisse, elle maîtrise plusieurs techniques pour réaliser des objets usuels aux corps sculpturaux : couverts en bois, vases en céramique, sacs en cuir, cheminées en plâtre. Conçu sans hiérarchie, souvent en collaboration avec ses amis, ce corpus est fait d'objets de différentes dimensions et aux usages tantôt fantaisistes, tantôt quotidiens. Valentine Schlegel a également réalisé nombre d'éléments architecturaux en plâtre destinés aux intérieurs. Ces sculptures à vivre sont aussi, par leur caractère indéplaçable, la raison pour laquelle son travail est resté méconnu. Valentine Schlegel: je dors, je travaille par Hélène Bertin est un catalogue « bio-monographique » réunissant une nouvelle iconographie et des documents d'archives. Des notices biographiques séquencent le livre et éclairent la démarche et la vie de Valentine Schlegel.

Summary:
This volume—a hybrid between a scholarly study and an exhibition catalog—presents the artist Ai Weiwei's work in dialogue with theoretical texts by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben and the German-Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt alongside interpretive essays that illuminate the artist’s work on human rights, his engagement with historical Chinese artifacts, and his critical consideration of the effects of globalization. The book includes a new essay on human rights by Ai Weiwei and an interview in which he discusses his artwork and activism. It also features installation photographs of the corresponding exhibition. By exploring Ai Weiwei’s artistic practice in dialogue with philosophies, theories, and concepts that connect human life and political power, this publication offers new insights into one of the most important artists working today.

Summary:
This book features Pousttchi’s new photographic installation at Nivola Museum in Orani on the Italian island of Sardinia. She chose the Metropolitan Life Building on 1 Madison Avenue in Manhattan as her subject for this piece. Criticized for its blatant Italian references at the time of its completion in 1909 — and the world’s tallest structure until 1913 — the building displays a hybrid identity, recalling cultural and temporal-spatial dislocations between the Old and the New World, Renaissance and Modernism.

Summary:
From its title to its formal arrangement of language, Brad Feuerhelm's Dein Kampf suggests a commentary on our cyclical anxieties about ideology. Anxiety is implicit in his photographs and Berlin is their natural backdrop, being a city in which several ideologies collided in the twentieth century. The city exemplifies the quagmire of possibilities in which the tensions of historical narrative and contemporary political and ideological doubt are played out in visual motifs throughout the landscape. Fragments of the past and symbols of capitalist modernity underpin the work-banks, insurance companies and people as effigies of citizens appear as a cloaking miasma, the spectre of past, present and no future. The schema of the glitch and the appropriation methods in Feuerhelm's work are subtle enquiries into the contemporary conditions of fear and confusion. Loose associations about changing futures under technology, religion, immigration and the future of the photographic image also loom large. Dein Kampf is Feuerhelm's proposition about how we activate image and ideology in the book form. Includes text by Ulrich Baer.
