Summary:
Haim Steinbach is interested in the shared social ritual of collecting, arranging and presenting everyday objects and materials, an experience that extends to us all, whether in the way we arrange our homes or the way we select and wear our clothes. Travel explores Steinbach's recent exhibition at White Cube Mason's Yard, London and is comprised of two new series of works that trace a trajectory in the artist's practice that stretches from the 1970s to today. In 1976, Steinbach produced a series of works based on grid-like geometric patterns created with strips of linoleum flooring. The Linopanel works evoke a pivotal moment in Steinbach's career, when he abandoned his investigation into minimalist painting and began to work with found objects. Jenny Jaskey's text explores Steinbach's interest in collecting and the methodologies of display forms.

Summary:
The American Fred Sandback (1943–2003), regarded as one of the major sculptors of his generation, had from the beginning of his art career initially used drawings to formulate on paper his ideas of sculptural volumes. Soon he went from depicting isolated elements to thinking of sculpture in relationship to space and to exploring its possibilities on paper. In the 1980s, Sandback expanded his drawing vocabulary to include work in acrylic, in the pochoir technique or in pastel, which look much more pictorial in contrast to his earlier works on paper. The issue was now less about conceiving sculptures and more about modulating space. As regards sculpture, Sandback no longer thought of it as a given spatial volume, but as a sensual phenomenon per se, which he explored in the drawing. In his late drawings, Sandback moved away from the conditions of a coherent space in order to conceive of sculptures that are boundless from all sides. Only a specific section of the whole is intimated in the drawing, for which Sandback invented unusual techniques: actual incisions instead of drawn lines, for instance, or painterly traces on transparent film. This publication of Sandback’s drawings assembles works from over thirty years, supplemented by sculpture.

Carl Andre (born 1935) was a poet before he was an artist, and between 1960 and 1965 he produced a substantial body of innovative visual poetry.

Summary:
Carl Andre (born 1935) was a poet before he was an artist, and between 1960 and 1965 he produced a substantial body of innovative visual poetry. Arranging language on paper as carefully and as sculpturally as he was later to arrange pieces of metal or bricks on the floor, Andre approached words as adjustable entities, to be moved around within the limits of the space of the sheet of paper. These works, made during the height of the international Concrete poetry movement, appeared alongside his sculptures in exhibitions and were excerpted in scholarly writings about the artist. With this volume, Andre’s influential poetic oeuvre is now gathered comprehensively for the first time. The poems, which were often typed on 8 x 11 paper, are reproduced in quasi-facsimile, to convey Andre’s sculptural intentions. Also included are essays by art historians Gavin Delahunty and Valérie Mavridorakis, and curator Lynn Kost.

Summary:
The varied practice of Paul Chan (born 1973) includes paintings, drawings, video animations and font design, as well as critical writing. The characters in his works are animated beings, jerking and stuttering as they are violently thrust into the clumsy reel--or "real"--of history. Chan explores the intellectual and sexual animus that courses through our collective language and consciousness, drawing on sources as varied as the King James Bible, Marquis de Sade and Samuel Beckett. Part of the 2000 Words series, conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, 2000 Words: Paul Chan presents the entirety of the artist's works in the Dakis Joannou Collection and includes an essay by Stephen Squibb that reveals the solitary image and its uncanny animation in Chan's work.

Surveying works in all media, Josef Albers: Minimum Media, Maximum Effect offers a new comprehensive monograph of Josef Albers (1888-1976) focusing on the artist's abiding concern for clarity and simplicity. As the title suggests, Albers strove to attain the maximum effect with minimal media.

Summary:
La publication Notre histoire || Our History accompagne l'exposition du même nom, un projet de l’artiste Michael Blum portant sur la question des identités québécoise(s) et canadienne(s). L’exposition est le fruit d’un travail effectué dans le cadre du programme de résidence d’été de la Galerie. L’artiste a construit, dans la salle d’exposition même, un musée proposant une ré-écriture fantaisiste de l’histoire du Québec et du Canada, en plus d’accompagner le projet de cette publication regroupant les réponses de personnalités publiques à un sondage portant sur la vision identitaire des répondants. Ce sondage, « non-scientifique » du propre aveu de l'artiste, a été adressé à plus de 600 personnalités publiques du domaine politique, artistique, journalistique et universitaire, afin de jeter les bases de son projet artistique. Les opinions exhaustives des 86 répondants sont ici rassemblées, entre cynisme et humour, entre candeur et ferveur, en anglais comme en français. Elles ont constitué une sorte de terrain réflexif au quotidien. La publication, qui n’est pas le catalogue de l’exposition ni un essai, se veut plutôt le rapport d’une recherche conduite par l’artiste désireux d’examiner l’histoire de son pays d’accueil à la lumière d’une certaine actualité l’ayant mis en présence de cette vertigineuse notion qu’est « l’identité ».
