Summary:
This book examines the career of New York-based artist Sherrie Levine, whose 1981 series of photographs "after Walker Evans"--taken not from life but from Evans's famous depression-era documents of rural Alabama--became central examples in theorizing postmodernism in the visual arts in the 1980s. For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a(...)

For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a broad range of sources, both historical and theoretical, to assess an artist whose work was understood from the outset to challenge both the label "artist" and the idea of oeuvre--and who has over the past three decades crafted a significant oeuvre of her own.

Summary:
Since the 1960s, Dan Graham's heterogeneous practice has touched on such disparate subjects as tract housing, the Shakers, punk music, and architectural theory; he has made videos, architectural models, closed-circuit installations, and glass pavilions. Graham as situated his work on the borders between these different strains of contemporary practice. Although varying widely in subject and medium, Graham's artwork and writings display a consistent interest in spectatorship, public-private relationships, and the constructed environment. Graham's extensive writings on his own work have made him, by default, the primary interpreter of his own art. This October Files volume provides a counterweight, gathering key texts by critics and theorists that offer alternative accounts of Graham's art. The essays span thirty years and include hard-to-find texts from exhibition catalogs and journals. The authors include such distinguished theorists, critics, and artists as Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Beatriz Colomina, Thierry de Duve, and Jeff Wall.

Minoru Nomata paints fantastical, impossible buildings and structures, often towering over the landscape; he sets them in typological series that are somehow reminiscent of the photographs of Bernd and Hiller Becher.

In more recent years her work has become more introverted, as she adopted a motif that included fingers, hair and internal organs.

Tabaimo cuts open a DANMEN (cross-section) of this housing complex and shows the various lives in a harmonious union of past and present.

Big Bad City is a new edition of the original 2008 book capturing this phenomenon; previously published images are joined by more little people photographed in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Curious but never quaint, Slinkachu’s tiny friends are left to fend for themselves in the city, confusing and delighting those who come across them – especially when discovered in the grisly but hilarious situations of pieces like ‘Office Politics’, ‘Pinned Down’ and ‘Bad First Date’.

In recent years, the boundaries between art and design have become more and more blurred. It is not the object itself, but rather its economic functionality that determines where design stops and art begins - and this functionality is reassessed at every link in the chain of the object s dissemination.

Taxing art: when objects travel

Summary:
In recent years, the boundaries between art and design have become more and more blurred. It is not the object itself, but rather its economic functionality that determines where design stops and art begins - and this functionality is reassessed at every link in the chain of the object s dissemination. In fact, it is often customs officials who subjectively decide what constitutes art and design based on their personal views and erratic local tax laws. Taxing Art is an insightful case study by Beta Tank that illustrates the influence of tax laws on art and creativity. The Berlin-based studio created a series of blended work, which was partly handmade and partly machine-made, and sent it around the world. Naturally, this resulted in differing customs duties. The book is a buoyantly ironic, clever documentation and analysis of the effect of traditional, bureaucratic procedures on innovative work. Beta Tank hopes this publication will fuel a dialog about how true innovation and creativity, that which crosses boundaries and moves into the unknown, can be actively pursued and matched within existing categories and assumptions about business practices and results. The book puts a spotlight on the effect that tax laws have on art and design.

Catherine Gfeller’s photographic and video work, based on incessantly pulsating urban landscapes, is autobiographical insofar as it focuses on New York and Paris, but it is hardly private. Everything here is public, yet nothing can really be(...)

Catherine Gfeller’s photographic and video work, based on incessantly pulsating urban landscapes, is autobiographical insofar as it focuses on New York and Paris, but it is hardly private. Everything here is public, yet nothing can really be captured. In other groups of works, the artist takes a thoroughly different look at the symbiotic relationship between mankind and the environment, peering behind the anonymous façades of buildings and exposing intimate living spaces. Speed, exhileration and indulgence: "The only form of stability [can be found] in being ‘lulled by the loop’, as if caught up in the unfathomable delirium of repetition." This volume is being published to accompany three museum exhibitions to be held at the Musée des Beaux-art La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Kunstmuseum Luzern, and the Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Languedoc-Roussillon Sète.

An incomparable treasure trove on Lucerne, which is not only of interest to those in central Switzerland but, first and foremost, is addressed to Dieter Roth’s collectors around the world.
