Summary:
This monograph is the first for David Batchelor's Found Monochromes series. Since 1997, the London-based artist has been photographing single square and rectangle planes of uninterrupted white that he passes as he walks through London and places he visits. The images are informal and impromptu; shot from a uniform distance, the white planes are seen on a variety of backdrops: brick walls, car doors, metal fences and more. They are the backs of signs, number plates that have lost their number, empty billboards or faded messages. This body of work references the once radical tradition of monochrome paintings practiced by Malevich, Rodchenko, Yves Klein, Ad Reinhardt, Ellsworth Kelly and others. Found Monochromes Vol. 1 brings together the largest group of photographs from Batchelor's series, accompanied by a conversation between the philosopher Jonathan Ree and the artist.

Summary:
The question of the horizon, one of the recurring themes in the work of Dutch conceptualist Jan Dibbets, returns in this exhibition catalog from the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Hague. In this poetic and clever new work, using the photographic image in an almost geometric collage, Dibbets takes two photographs, a landscape and a seascape, and repeatedly juxtaposes them in various ways that divide the horizon. Coming out of the 1970s European conceptual art movement, Dibbets is a major figure in Dutch art and on the international scene.

Summary:
Cuttings [Supplement] is produced in association with Starling's solo exhibition at The Power Plant in 2008. The exhibition features the newly commissioned work Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore) (2007-8), a piece that collapses the history of Henry Moore's sculpture, Warrior with Shield (1953–4), with the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Ontario. This publication is a companion piece to Cuttings (2005), but stands on its own with essays focusing on the commissioned sculpture and new works made since Starling won the Turner Prize in 2005. Autoxylopyrocycloboros (2006), Nachbau (Reconstruction) (2007), and Wilhelm Noack oHG (2006), are accompanied with explanatory texts and colour illustrations.

Du site néolithique aux vingt arrondissements actuels, des fondations de Lutèce à la nouvelle Bnf en passant par la construction de Notre-Dame, l’histoire de Paris a toujours été un peu plus que celle de la capitale de la France. Comme le démontre cet ouvrage, Paris pèse en effet d’un poids particulier, politique, économique et culturel, dans l’édification et l’activité du pays. Au cœur d’une agglomération de plus de dix millions d’habitants, elle connaît un très large rayonnement international.

Summary:
Les six essais qui composent cet ouvrage portent sur des sujets apparemment très différents : des logos, un "total look", un concept de magasin et un couteau. Si ces objets sont ici soumis à une analyse sémiotique, c'est qu'ils illustrent, au-delà de leur commune appartenance à la culture matérielle contemporaine, un même mode de production du sens.
