Summary:
Looking at a considerable range of works spanning the entire career of Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) from seven of his famous ''Wall Drawings'' to sculptures such as ''Complex Form'' and ''Inverted Spiraling Tower'', and including the photo-series ''Autobiography'', this book explores the deeply intertwined relationship between LeWitt's work and architecture. Featuring a collaboration by the architect Rem Koolhaas- as a curator, for the first time ever- in dialogue with the curator Francesco Stocchi, ''Between the Lines'' addresses broad aspects of LeWitt's oeuvre, with the aim of moving beyond the divisions that traditionally separate architecture from art history (the flouting of which characterizes the artist's entire body of work). In particular, this book reformulates the still-popular assumption that an artwork must adapt to the architecture.

Summary:
This publication unfolds along the lines of Bridget Riley's (born 1931) 2018 exhibition at David Zwirner, London. Beginning with an exploration of black-and-white equilateral triangles, Riley leads the viewer into an awareness of the ways in which a surface- wall or canvas- can affect a seemingly simple form: the triangle. While demonstrating these subtle changes, she(...)

Summary:
This publication unfolds along the lines of Bridget Riley's (born 1931) 2018 exhibition at David Zwirner, London. Beginning with an exploration of black-and-white equilateral triangles, Riley leads the viewer into an awareness of the ways in which a surface- wall or canvas- can affect a seemingly simple form: the triangle. While demonstrating these subtle changes, she manipulates this form by bending its sides. Riley is revisiting and developing works which she initiated over 50 years ago, as is shown here by the inclusion of ''Black to White Discs'' (1962/1965). This diamond formation of discs, which graduates in tone from white to black and back again, offers a lead-in to her new body of work.

Summary:
Présentation d'une double installation basée sur deux espaces adjacents, articulant un parcours immersif visuel et sonore. Le visiteur pénètre dans une pièce plongée dans l’obscurité, où flotte une seule immense image, datascape abstrait, où se cristallise un vertige d’événements visuels et sonores impalpables. À travers cette oeuvre, l’artiste rend perceptible un au-delà dimensionnel issu d’un champ de forces : l’espace numérique et le brassage illimité et multidirectionnel de l’information qui s’y livre en continu et interroge la place de l’homme (le spectateur) au regard de l’échelle micro- et macroscopique. Ryoji Ikeda transpose cette réalité immatérielle en une esthétique qu’il qualifie de « mathématique », tout à la fois électrisante et onirique.

Summary:
'Marginalia' draws our attention towards the territory of the overseen elements coexisting in the realm of the book itself. Text and image content of several art books designed by Anja Lutz withdraw to let appear the non-descript details: the margins, the edges, the backgrounds, the spaces between the lines … Each book is unique in its choice of format, material, layout, and rhythm. The selected pages underwent a process of transformation in which with surgical precision Lutz dissects them, layer by layer, removing the vital parts and revealing their skeleton. The results are filigrane grids, fragments of images and traces of the layout that form intricately layered compositions of voids, exposing the hidden relations between the pages.

Summary:
Museums' attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. New York based artist Mark Dion (b. 1961), renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology, and ecology, documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchesters neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, egyptian fakes, and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice. Finally back in print, ''Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and Its Legacy'', Dion's project and book are a repository for the detritus of museum life and a work in process, classifying the museums unclassifiable while exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.

Summary:
This artist's book by New York-based Dutch artist Anouk Kruithof transforms selections from collector Brad Feuerhelm's vernacular photo collection into five dramatic, mysterious and erotic visual narratives that Kruithof calls image-stories. To accomplish this the artist isolated herself in a bungalow for an extended period of time with digitized versions of the photographs and played with their organization and layering on the computer screen. The resulting alterations and collages saved as screen-shots comprise her experiments with making sense of this voluminous archive. Interspersed between the stories are excerpts from the email correspondence between artist and collector. Kruithof's work has most recently been shown at the Stedelijk, Amersterdam, and is the recipient of the 2014 Charlotte Kohler Prize and ICP Infinity Award, New York. Feuerhelm is a London-based American collector and dealer in vernacular photography. Brief essays on the project by Kruithof and Feuerhelm bookend the image-stories.

Summary:
Bringing a poet’s perspective to an artist’s archive, this book examines wordplay in the art and thought of American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978). A pivotal figure in the postminimalist generation who was also the son of a prominent Surrealist, Matta-Clark was a leader in the downtown artists' community in New York in the 1970s, and is widely seen as a pioneer of what has come to be known as social practice art. Examining notes, statements, titles, letters, and interviews in light of what they reveal about his work at large, Frances Richard unearths archival, biographical, and historical information, linking Matta-Clark to Conceptualist peers and Surrealist and Dada forebears. "Gordon Matta-Clark: Physical Poetics" explores the paradoxical durability of Matta-Clark’s language, and its role in an aggressively physical oeuvre whose major works have been destroyed.
