Summary:
This artist’s book is a somewhat fierce picture book showing a personal collection of ephemera collages made of material from the turn of the millennium. It contains 203 photocopies of collaged items collected by the artist between 1998 and 2003 in London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and elsewhere. ''High Capacity'' is a compressed image of that time. Until 2016, the loosely sorted material had been neatly filed in moving boxes, whereupon the artist took action: “‘Either dump it or keep it,’ I kept saying to myself. I grabbed a stapler and gave it a try.” What you see here reveals his many varied interests: receipts, torn up checks, packaging of all sorts, drawn instructions, snapshots, vinyl lettering, and other textual imperatives. The way the book is printed also yields a fascinating, yet raw, facsimile of these photocopied collages.

Summary:
À l’occasion du 50e anniversaire de la disparition de Pablo Picasso, le musée parisien dédié au peintre a invité Sophie Calle à investir l’hôtel Salé. Dans le cadre de cette exposition, Sophie Calle a choisi de mettre en scène la « succession » de ses biens. L'hôtel des ventes Drouot s’est alors prêté au jeu en procédant à l’établissement de 482 lots parmi les biens personnels de l’artiste : de son mobilier à sa vaisselle, de ses animaux empaillés à sa collection d’œuvres d’art, tous publiés dans un catalogue comme il est d’usage lors d’une vente aux enchères. Pour compléter ce geste artistique, l’artiste a imaginé un « Erratum » au catalogue de l’hôtel Drouot : de format identique, cet erratum révèle d’autres clés de lecture. Sophie Calle a choisi plus de 100 pièces, parmi ses biens, dont elle dévoile l’histoire cachée. Des objets offerts ou échangés avec d’autres artistes, ou encore collectés au cours de ses voyages ou reçus en héritage : au fil de ces histoires se dessine un autre récit qui raconte des moments de vie privée, des rencontres amoureuses ou artistiques, des secrets parfois. Le catalogue Drouot et son Erratum sont proposés ensemble, tels les révélateurs de deux facettes d’une vie.

Summary:
"Contemporary Hyloshapes" establishes a relationship between contemporary sculpture (produced over the last 25 years) and typography, as an exercise of translating visual language from a medium to another, between scales, colaborators and methodologies. The project initiates in February 2020 with a collection of 205 sculptural works by 34 artists from Europe, Asia and America. Among almost 500 sculptures, a final selection of artworks was made in close collaboration with the art historian and curator Alberto Arribas. Through the abstraction of the outline of these artworks, a series of characters (or sculptural language) from A to Z was developed. By speculating and overlaying these shapes, almost as an attempt to merge processes and ways of doing from scultpture, architecture, and visual communication, very particular icons emerged, which are subtly recognizable to the human eye.

Summary:
MASS MoCA presents a suite of new works made over the past 2½ years by artist Carrie Schneider. Reminiscent of abstract paintings, her photographs play with the camera’s imaginative potential and its relationship to the subconscious, while experimenting with the medium’s sculptural possibilities. Isolated during the pandemic, Schneider, like many of us, relied on her phone to find community and inspiration. Working with a room-sized camera she built herself – a sort of camera obscura affixed with a large-format Rodenstock lens – she exposes screen grabs of friends’ social media feeds, images from her private archive, and shots of historical artworks directly to photo paper. The enigmatic results provide glimpses into the artist’s interior life and present a picture of a deep desire for connection.

Summary:
The images in "Ed Templeton: 87 drawings" cover a span of over thirty years, from 1990 to 2021, and deliver a remarkable retrospective of the artist’s intimate drawing style. Templeton examines the studied ennui of adolescents and young adults, capturing his subjects’ specific personalities while documenting the visual identity born of the distinctive skating and surfing culture that originated in Southern California. He knows this culture well, growing up there before becoming a professional (and World Champion) skateboarder, contemporary artist, and photographer. His subjects are often drawn as portraits, their faces shown with a striking detail that contrasts with the simple lines of their bodies. Though they project a cool indifference, they are celebrated by the artist, whose fondness for them both recognizes and commends their subversive style. As Kim Hastreiter notes in the preface, his "secret ingredient is empathy." The collection also includes more personal drawings. There are eight of his wife and collaborator, Deanna; a self-portrait; and a drawing of them together. Fourteen of the drawings are on vintage hotel stationery, further anchoring the drawings in place, if not time. His grandfather collected much of the stationery; Templeton’s use of it adds a connective thread to both Southern California culture and his own life. Raised by his grandparents, Templeton credits his grandmother with exposing him to the art that would "enrich his life immensely," and closes the book with a portrait of her at the end of her life. "87 drawings" is printed on natural textured art paper, and bound in cloth with a tipped-in reproduction and original silkscreen design by the artist. The first printing is limited to 2,000 copies.
