Summary:
Following the theme of her previous publication Support Structures (2010) and written in the intimate format of a conversation, artist Céline Condorelli explores the history and philosophical nature of friendship. London-based Condorelli, who has shown at the Centre Pompidou and Serpentine Gallery, is most interested in what friendships have been left out of normative, patriarchal history. Why is the philosophical discourse dominated by or only about men? Why have no women philosophers written about friendship? And what about friendships between other excluded groups–slaves or pirates? Through conversations with sociologist Avery F. Gordon, philosopher Johan Frederik Hartle and curators Nick Aikens and Polly Staple, this thoughtful book addresses the practice of friendship as a way of being in the world, and most importantly, how friendship conditions the way we work together.

With over a hundred photographs, this volume explores the rooms, objects, and light of the apartment in which Carol Rama has been living and working for over seventy years, retracing the personal life and artistic career of the painter. The book is intended to disclose a secret place, in which the artist has gathered countless mementos over the years: ones from her family, donated by friends such as Man Ray, Carlo Mollino, and Andy Warhol, or collected in memory of special situations or people. While apparently scattered, these objects have actually been arranged with great care.

Summary:
A richly illustrated monograph dedicated to one of the most attractive and influential figures of contemporary creation. Loie Fuller was one of the leading and most influential figures of the twentieth-century art scene. Her persona, choreographies, and technical innovations have exerted a strong influence on the conceptual theories and achievements of choreographers, producers, theater and film directors, painters, sculptors, architects, and other performance artists of our times. Loie Fuller played a decisive role in the art nouveau movement, she was the muse who inspired the Electricity Pavilion in 1900, and she orchestrated the first shows, in the contemporary sense of the word, in France. Through a number of photographs, paintings, sculptures, and documents, this volume attempts to unravel the various strands of her extravagant life, to chart her dedication to the performance arts, and to demonstrate her incredible technical inventiveness-in short, to provide an insight into one of the most attractive and influential figures of contemporary creation.

Way Station extends the January 2015 exhibition by Shannon Harvey, Adam Michaels, and Levi Murphy at Grice Bench, Los Angeles. At once static and dynamic, the book presents a journey through a series of landscapes, juxtaposed with a steadily spinning furniture form—that of the primary exhibition component, a set of colorful benches featuring ergonomics designed to heighten and transform physical and mental awareness. The book provides a particularly associative experience for a reader seated on a Way Station bench, while maintaining interest far beyond this setting. Shannon Harvey is a designer and colorist. Adam Michaels is the cofounder of design studio Project Projects, and founder of Inventory Press. Levi Murphy is a designer and founder of Communal Objects.

Genzken’s artistic practice is characterized by a wide spectrum of media and forms, although her roots in sculpture always remain visible.

Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.

As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments.

Summary:
Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Serge Clément’s work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments. For Clément, photography has always been closely related to the book, particularly along the idea that an image refers to other images. On one hand, it signifies that an image is a leaky container with smoke, fog, streams and rivers, reflections, and streets running across the image. On the other, Serge Clément constantly questions the power of the photographic image to capture reality. A certain street, a certain perspective, this deserted place, the passers-by are not tied to a clearly identifiable world, but belong to the abstract universe of an essentially imaginary city. It is not important to know whether the place in question is Montreal or Tokyo, the viewer may rather lose himself between several places.
