Summary:
Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but(...)

Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but the lucid vision of a world whose reality revealed by science now reaches beyond fiction.

Summary:
Published to accompany the first large-scale retrospective of Alighiero Boetti's work outside Italy in over a decade, this volume covers all periods of Boetti's broad oeuvre, including early sculptural experiments associated with the Arte Povera movement, conceptual and ephemeral projects of the 1970s and the monumental embroideries and tapestries he fabricated up to his death. This illustrated catalogue is structured as a typology of the artist's body of work rather than a chronological progression. Essays by curators from the Reina Sofia, Madrid, the Tate Modern, London and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, address recurrent themes in Boetti's work such as travel and geography, time, order and disorder and singularity and multitude, while contributions by scholars examine his early influences and his relationship to the cultural, political, and social spheres of Italy and Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s. This volume celebrates the material diversity, conceptual complexity and visual beauty of Boetti's work, proving that he is one of the most important and influential artists of his generation.

With his astounding building cuts and intersects, Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) opened up elegant geometries in the very structures that seem most substantial and most authoritative in urban existence, revealing the alienations of the urban fabric as convenient fictions and allowing life to flow into the most inhospitable and self-contained of buildings.

Summary:
With his astounding building cuts and intersects, Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) opened up elegant geometries in the very structures that seem most substantial and most authoritative in urban existence, revealing the alienations of the urban fabric as convenient fictions and allowing life to flow into the most inhospitable and self-contained of buildings. One of his favorite responses to a work came from a Parisian concierge: “I see the purpose for that hole - it is an experiment in bringing light and air into spaces that never had enough of either.” Throughout his all-too-brief career, Matta-Clark undertook civic aeration on many fronts, cofounding the now legendary Food Restaurant in 1971, buying up empty lots in Queens and evolving his theory of “anarchitecture” in films, photomontages and numerous writings and drawings. Anarchitecture redefined negative space in art as a political act, distinguishing itself from architecture by imagining a cure for its most pernicious effects. Gordon Matta-Clark : Moment to Moment offers a comprehensive overview of this courageous and liberating artist with a wealth of documentation and reproductions from across Matta-Clark's oeuvre, as well as critical commentary from Philip Ursprung, Angela Lammert, Hubertus von Amelunxen, Dan Graham and others.

Summary:
This publication is British filmmaker Peter Greenaway's multimedia tale of the adventures of one Tulse Luper. Born in 1911 and possibly still alive, Tulse Henry Purcell Luper was a writer, collector, criminal and world traveler. His sole legacy is a mysterious collection of 92 packed suitcases dispersed around the globe that purportedly constitute a complete encyclopedia of the planet and all that is in it, classified by object, event and idea, and from which absolutely nothing is omitted. This volume features Luper's drawings of the fabled suitcases, which Greenaway exhibited in the summer of 2010 at the Rivelino Gallery in Locarno, Switzerland.

Summary:
This monograph presents over five decades of work by this artist and reveals the variety of ways and creativity with which Alex Wyse has expressed his distinct worldview. Taking the vein of environmental consciousness running through Wyse's work, the authors stress key works that disclose the human folly that so often underlies environmental disaster such as: the Super Shows Presents series that began in the late 1960s; the elaborate tableaus depicting the inventive antics of the Rutherford siblings from the mid-1970s; and the pointillist paintings, where troubled fish and trees try to escape their spoiled environments from the mid-1980s onward.

Summary:
Artiste montréalais originaire de Rimouski, Gwenaël Bélanger repousse depuis une dizaine d’années les limites du hors champ en questionnant le statut de l’image. Par l’entremise d’une observation attentive et critique de ce qui fait image dans le quotidien, l’artiste exploite les limites de la perception du réel à travers des procédés graphiques et photographiques. Il s’intéresse au contenu polysémique de l’image médiatisée et de l’objet culturel. L’imagerie aussi bien que les dispositifs mis en place par l’artiste répondent par une certaine dérision à une observation sensible de notre société de la vitesse et de l’hyperconsommation. Cette première monographie témoigne d’une exposition bilan présentée à travers le Canada. Gwenaël Bélanger a participé à un grand nombre d’expositions notamment au Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal et au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Une co-édition avec Expression.
