Summary:
En 1965, Guy Debord dépose le brevet d'un Jeu de la Guerre (dit encore Kliegspiel) qu'il avait imaginé dix ans plus tôt. Eu janvier 1977, il s'associe à Gérard Lebovici pour fonder, à parts égales, une société dont l'objet est la production, la publication et l'exploitation de jeux. Sous la dénomination " Les Jeux stratégiques et historiques ", la société publie simultanément en français et en anglais une Règle du " Jeu de la Guerre ", et fait réaliser par un artisan quatre (ou cinq) exemplaires du jeu, dont la table (45,5 cm x 36,5 cm) et les pièces ciselées sont en cuivre argenté. C'est en 1987, après la disparition de Gérard Lebovici, que paraîtra, aux éditions qui portaient son nom, Le Jeu de la Guerre, présenté sous la forme d'un " relevé des positions successives de toutes les forces au cours d'une partie ". Un modèle rudimentaire du jeu avait été diffusé dans le même temps. En 1991, par décision de Guy Debord, Le Jeu de la Guerre est mis au pilon avec l'ensemble de ses autres livres publiés. Nous le faisons reparaître dans une nouvelle édition revue, corrigée et augmentée de documents retrouvés, susceptibles d'éclairer le lecteur sur le fondement et la nature spécifique de ce jeu tel que l'a conçu et réalisé son inventeur Guy Debord.

An early progenitor of the artist's book genre, Warja Honegger-Lavater was born in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1913. She worked as an illustrator for the magazine Jeunesse from 1944-1958, and moved to New York shortly thereafter where she began a wonderful series of artist's books. These books were published between 1962 and 1971, an exceptionally ripe time for artists to turn to the bookform, a time when the most often cited "first" artist's book also appeared, Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1962) by Ed Ruscha. Nieves is delighted to release this previously unpublished collection of 60 ink pictograms, drawn between 1976 and 1996, originally printed individually as A2 plane prints.

Summary:
Published to accompany the 2008 Deutsche Guggenheim survey curated by American artist Collier Schorr, Freeway Balconies unfolds more as an artist's book than a straightforward exhibition catalogue. Borrowing from Allen Ginsberg, the title refers to the meeting place of spectacle and voyeurism in American culture--expressed here through Schorr's idiosyncratic mix of 19 emerging and established artists, including Sharon Hayes, Bruce Nauman, Francesca Woodman, Rashawn Griffin and Richard Prince, among others. Her choices, arranged around selections of her own work, reveal her probing interest in slippages of identity and identification, cultural memory and forgetting and the ways in which artistic action and production engage these issues.

Summary:
Published on the occasion of his fifth solo exhibition at David Zwirner gallery in New York, Even the Ghost of the Past presents new work by the influential young Canadian artist Marcel Dzama--including a DVD of original short films. A favorite among the art, literary and indie music scenes, Dzama is best known for his figurative compositions of pen and watercolor on manila-colored paper. Bearing a characteristic palette of muted browns, greys, greens and reds, Dzama's drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal and hybrid characters. In recent years, Dzama has extended his practice to include work in multiple media. A recent exhibition, for example, transformed the gallery into an odeum of imagination, replete with drawings, sculptures, dioramas and films. Featuring an interview with the artist by filmmaker Spike Jonze and designed in collaboration with the artist as two hardback books twin-bound into one with a custom drawing on the cover, Even the Ghost of the Past is destined to become an instant collector's item.

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' work is profound and coherent, a cross between surrealism and expressionism, psychoanalysis and feminism, a fusion between object and concept. By means of spiral writing, symbolic in her prints, the artist rewrites her past through female identity and body image, a corporal synthesis of her every emotion and fear. She destroys and reconstructs her memories, like strange mutations or reflections in a distorted mirror.
