Summary:
The title of this beautiful Penguin Classic look-alike collection of essays and pictures is taken from a poem that Michael Elmgreen wrote when he was 19 years old. The poem describes, in its own simple, youthful manner, issues of emotional homelessness. Home traditionally alludes to family, local context and nationality--to structures which are pre-set and often disconnected to one's individual desires. The Norwegian-Danish artist duo asked friends and colleagues to react to their own notions of home--as a place they left... or didn't. Featuring texts and image-based contributions by the likes of Bill Arning, Henrik Olesen, Jakob Kolding, Monica Bonvicini, Jens Hoffmann and David Shrigley, among many others. Berlin-based Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset have collaborated since 1995. They have had recent solo exhibitions at the Serpentine Gallery in London and The Power Plant in Toronto.

Summary:
The product of an international collective of artists, architects and writers who create collaborative projects and publications, this third edition of Surface Tension's Supplement series documents three years of artistic research, site-specific work and location-based practices in Curitiba, Brazil--providing an in-depth exploration of the city's economically marginal favela dwellers, who venture throughout the public spaces of Curitiba in search of recyclable materials. Documentation and texts elaborate on the cultural and political issues that come to light through various uses of public space. Originally developed as a collaborative installation between international and local artists--including Ken Ehrlich, Brandon LaBelle, Octávio Camargo and Guilherme Soares--exhibited at Curitiba's Ybakatu Gallery, this publication raises pertinent questions about the consequences of cross-cultural and site-specific collaboration and proffers an experimental approach toward political inquiry and intermedia practice.

Summary:
Jesus died at the age of 33. This publication, which accompanies the first New Museum triennial, Younger Than Jesus, focuses on artists born after 1975. Departing from popular assertions about the group, which the media has dubbed the "Millennials," or "Generation Y," this reader presents the work of nearly 50 international artists, based on the conviction that radical gestures have often been carried out by young artists. It illuminates both the shared practices and the dramatic differences found within this age group. Along with a generous selection of color reproductions of the artists' work, this volume includes essays by exhibition curators Lauren Cornell, Massimiliano Gioni and Laura Hoptman, along with an anthology of reprinted texts by a diverse group of writers--including philosophers, sociologists and technology experts--which contextualize the work within the significant events of the past 30 years--for example, globalization and the increased networking of culture and daily life.

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:
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…).
