Summary:
This book features eleven internationally acclaimed artists, including Jan Albers, Michael Borremans, Marc Brandenburg, Fernando Bryce, Kate Davis, Monika Grzymala, David Haines, Kim Hiorthoy, Sandra Vasquez de la Horra, Garrett Phelan and Naoyuki Tsuji. As a group, their work represents a vast range of possible interpretations of drawing, from meticulously rendered quotidian scenes to three-dimensional drawings that merge with and respond to architectural space. Though drawing foundered in art schools during the 1970s, tainted by academicism, recently it has undergone a resurgence of popularity, partly because of its accessibility as a tool for communicating personal visions and ideas.

Summary:
Curated by Anthony Huberman at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, the group exhibition and catalogue For the Blind Man in the Dark Room Looking for the Black Cat That Isn't There explores the speculative nature of knowledge and insists on the importance of curiosity and the things we don't understand. Arranged around the premise that the world--and art--is not a code that needs cracking, the works in the exhibition center on the fruitfulness of not-knowing, un-learning, and productive confusion. David Hullfish Bailey, Marcel Broodthaers, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Fischli & Weiss, Rachel Harrison, Giorgio Morandi, Matt Mullican, Rosalind Nashashibi & Lucy Skaer, Frances Stark, Rosemarie Trockel and others present explanations that playfully don't explain. Dedicated to the inquisitive mind, For The Blind Man celebrates our ability to get lost and the stories we use to find our way in the dark. The book is edited, arranged and designed by London-based writer Will Holder and includes a new essay by curator Anthony Huberman.

Summary:
Klara Hobza's The New Millennium Paper Airplane Book is a collection of some of the artist's favorite paper airplanes and stories by their creators, gathered from The New Millennium Paper Airplane Contest exhibition, held at the New York Hall of Science in Queens, New York, in 2008. This project was itself an homage to the historic paper airplane contest that took place in 1967 at the same venue--which, in a note of minor irony, was built to display rockets for the 1964 World's Fair. The competition was open to the public, and participants were invited to fly their planes in a number of judging categories including distance flown, duration aloft, beauty, spectacular failure and children's designs. For this book, Hobza has also included some additional paper airplane contributions from fellow enthusiasts met along the way. Each page within the book is designed to be torn out and folded into a paper airplane. A complete list of step-by-step folding instructions is also included, so you can remake your favorites. Klara Hobza was born in Plzen, Czech Republic, and currently lives and works in New York City.

Summary:
Magie lumineuse des plaisirs et de la fête, magie noire des foules menaçantes : pour de nombreux artistes, la ville est magique. Familière et pourtant étrange, elle fascine et inquiète. Lieu de la modernité et de la création artistique, la ville n’est plus un simple décor. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, la ville, perçue comme lieu de tous les possibles, tous les plaisirs, et toutes les innovations, devient chez certains artistes le personnage principal de quelque conte fantastique. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, le phénomène se généralise et la ville moderne génère plusieurs mythes successifs, de New York à Paris, en passant par Berlin. Pendant quatre décennies, des artistes de tous horizons proposent leur vision de la métropole, tour à tour fascinante, étrange ou menaçante. Une inquiétante étrangeté hante les oeuvres de Giorgio De Chirico, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Victor Brauner, George Grosz, Anton Räderscheit, Carel Willink, Pyke Koch… et de la fine fleur de l’avant-garde photographique et cinématographique internationale (Brassaï, Ilse Bing, Louis Faurer, Heins Hajek- Halke, Raoul Hausmann, Lucien Hervé, André Kertész, Umbo… ainsi que René Clair, Howard Hawks, Fritz Lang, Walther Ruttmann, Charles Sheeler et Paul Strand, Dziga Vertov…).

Summary:
''Breathless'' is published as part of an upcoming exhibition taking place within a pavilion on The Power Plant’s South Terrace Summer 2022. ''Breathless'' shares contributions on the paradoxes of air, atmosphere and the breath with key texts and artworks. The book begins in the smog of our current predicament, with philosopher Dehlia Hannah proposing a new vocabulary for air in her text, ''Inversion Layer''. Following the flow of air, Flaka Haliti’s installation ''Speculating on the Blue'' opens a portal to an artificial atmosphere that defines boundaries of a closed reality. Connecting to parallel worlds, philosopher Achille Mbembe’s ''The Universal Right to Breathe'' captures a global perspective on breathing, offering alternative trajectories beyond suffocation. Marguerite Humeau’s speculative sculpture imagines a species that survives suffocation and evolves exclusively to breathe. Charles Stankievech exhumes the voices of Clarice Lispector and Lygia Clark as an interconnected mystical encounter in a text titled ''Breath with Me, A Breath of Life''. In ''Twilight of Sighs'', psychoanalyst and philosopher Alireza Taheri analyzes the sigh with a set of propositions. With the same intensity, Donna Kukama re-narrates history with her performance ''Chapter Q: Dem Short-Short-Falls'' as she breathes the memory of an invisible event. Invisibility of viral and virtual particles are positioned in the context of other historical times in Ala Roushan’s text ''Air of Our Closed World'', articulating the inversion experienced today within the domestic bubble/bunker. ''The Air Without'' by Kate Whiteway connects illness and metaphor to consider contradictions in the air that both oxygenates the lung while breathing diamond dust. With a granularity greater than dust, Heather Davis’s text ''Molecular Intimacy'' situates us at the nanoscale to position bodies within the atmosphere they breathe. This final text loops back to the start of the book in considering the air of our contemporary sky and the breath that exists in its precarious state. Under this arched sky, the book ends with ''Fire with Fire'', engulfed in the smoky aftermath of forest fires in the work of Julius von Bismarck.
