Summary:
Visual artist and photographer Katja Mater constructs an image by layering multiple moments in time. When making a drawing or object, different exposures are made on the same negative at various points in the process, physically building up an image in a cross-exchange of visual information between the subject, whether painted on paper or constructed object, and the film. This results in abstracted, monochromatic works depicting geometrical and vaguely textured forms. This book features several series of Mater’s works, also explaining in detail the working method behind each image, illuminating the complex processes she employs to achieve a final result.

Summary:
A catalogue documenting two exhibitions of works by Alexander Calder and Jean Prouvé at Gagosian Gallery, Paris, and Galerie Patrick Seguin, Paris. Calder and Prouvé met in the early 1950s. They corresponded regularly between Calder’s frequent trips to Paris, exchanging ideas on architecture and sculpture. In 1958, Calder collaborated with Prouvé to construct the steel base of La Spirale, a monumental mobile for the UNESCO site in Paris. Letters between the two are illustrated and reprinted in the catalogue. Calder/Prouvé evokes comparisons in the broad, expressive range of production, emphasis on form, and use of new technologies that the close friends and collaborators evinced in their parallel practices as artist and designer. Considered together, the works in this book testify to the fruitful exchange between two giants of modernism in its most utopian aspirations.

On the occasion of the joint exhibition On Reality by Cristina Iglesias and Thomas Struth, Ivorypress presents Constructions of the Imagination, with an essay by Estrella de Diego. It is an exhibition which, in the words of Estrella de Diego 'raises the essential question of gaze, a subject that is directly applicable to the works of both artists: how should we judge what we see? To what extent is it being reconstructed by our memory or imagination? How can you turn reality on its head based on the story being told?'

Artiste de l'image numérique née à Montréal en 1969, Isabelle Hayeur est reconnue pour ses montages photographiques de grand format, ses vidéos et ses installations in situ, dans lesquels elle met en évidences les aberrations de l'urbanisation, de l'étalement urbain et de l'industrialisation de nos sociétés. Son enfance à Bois-des-Filion en banlieue de Montréal, est déterminante pour sa pratique artistique. Comme c'est le cas dans plusieurs villes périphériques au Québec, et plus généralement dans le monde industrialisé, le paysage y est soumis à une transformation perpétuelle. Cette publication contient l'exposition produite par EXPRESSION, le centre d'exposition de Saint-Hyacinthe.

Summary:
In the mid 1970s, architect Harry Seidler designed a space for the historic Commercial Travellers’ Association in Sydney, Australia. In collaboration with Pier Luigi Nervi, he created a circular building that sprouts up from the street like a radiating flower. For the 25th Kaldor Public Art Project, Thomas Demand’s series The Dailies occupies an entire floor of Seidler’s structure. The floor of sixteen bedrooms, which house The Dailies, extend off a circular corridor creating a labyrinthine effect. Demand’s images sit above the beds in each room, the transient scenes capturing everyday moments and objects, suspended in time like the environment around them. Working within the parameters of his now well-known technique, Demand created carefully formed paper and card sculptures, photographed and then destroyed them. His creations are based on things he saw and photographs he took while travelling and walking the street. Demand describes the series as like Haiku poetry, simple fragments strung together to inspire reflection.

Summary:
Paulina Olowska's work demonstrates an interest on Communist Poland's fascination with Western consumerism and celebrates the spirit and stylish improvisations of the "Applied Fantastic"—a term coined by Polish writer Leopold Tyrmand in 1954, to describe the vernacular re-creations of Western styles. In her paintings, collages, and knitted works, Olowska incorporates text and graphics from found illustrations or images that have a decidedly "behind the Iron Curtain" look, while paying tribute to American Pattern and Decoration art of the 1970s and its use of non-traditional contemporary art mediums such as tiles and textiles. This publication is the first monograph to offer an overview of her work. It includes an interview with Adam Szymczyk and an essay by Jan Verwoert.
