Résumé:
Thanks to the digital imaging and to graphic editors such as Photoshop, Christopher Wool and Josh Smith create here artworks "for four hands". To start, one of them proposes an image representing a work from his corpus. From this basic picture, the other generates another image by reworking it, by adding and/or removing elements. A third layer is then added by one ot the two artists and a new "stratum" superimposed on the previous one... The absence of constraints and lack of mutual censorship regulates the alternating interventions. Only the choice to keep or not to keep the work at the end of the successive alterations is made by "common consent". Once the images have been fully reshaped, they are converted to black and white. Eventually, it becomes impossibe for the artists themselves to distinguish precisely who has done what within this pictorial triangle.

Résumé:
“Some people find a certain cruelty in parts of our work,” say the rising conceptualist-collaborators Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, “but they are definitely not more vicious than any real life experiences.” Since 1995, Elmgreen and Dragset have tackled issues of privatization, gentrification, social alienation and the dismantling of social welfare. For their first show at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in 2001 they papered over the windows with the announcement “Opening Soon Prada.” Pursuing and inverting this theme, in 2005 they installed a mocked-up Prada store on a deserted road near Marfa, Texas. They have recreated hospitals and prison cells, and have reconfigured gallery spaces to spatially deter their would-be audience. “Our aim is to investigate some of the power structures that these spaces derive from, and by exchanging and replacing some of these structures, show how fragile they actually are.” This monograph is the first extensive survey of their work to date.

Résumé:
The art of Anselm Kiefer is rich with references to writers, philosophers, and poets, and his relationship with Paul Celan has been the most complex and intense of these dialogues with the past. Celan's poetry, inextricably linked with the memory of the Holocaust, has haunted Kiefer's work for more than twenty-five years and has influenced him on every level, from the naming of works and exhibitions to the incorporation of symbolic materials from Celan's imagery—sand, straw, hair, and ashes—into his paintings. Like other German artists of his generation, Kiefer began by questioning his own artistic heritage, focusing on the iconographic and mythological elements of German culture that had been taken over by Nazi propaganda, and subsequently repressed and buried deep in the collective unconscious. It was his encounter with Celan's work in the early 1980s that first enabled him to escape from the vicious circle of fascination and disgust at the cultural ties that bound him to the Third Reich, leading him to confront the subject of the Holocaust and Jewish memory as a whole and to embrace this body of traditions within his art. Magnificently illustrated throughout with reproductions of Kiefer's best-known works, this book explores the intricate web of associations between the poet and the painter, a network that is extended to embrace other artistic and literary figures such as Ingeborg Bachmann and Joseph Beuys. 157 illustrations, 140 in color.

Résumé:
Romare Bearden (1911-1988) had a true Renaissance sensibility. He was a fine artist who also successfully turned his hand to printmaking, writing, costume and set design, as well as composing jazz music. In addition, he helped to found the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York's Cinque Gallery and the Black Academy of Arts and Letters, and was once even offered an opportunity to play professional baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics. But it is for his rich and textured collages that Bearden is best known today. In 1977, Bearden created a sequence of 20 collages based on episodes from Homer's Odyssey. It may come as a surprise to even his most avid followers that this devoted chronicler of African American culture and the Harlem Renaissance would gravitate to such a canonical text. But in the essay accompanying Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, scholar Robert G. O'Meally argues for their thematic consistency and suggests that, in the figures of Odysseus, Penelope, Poseidon, Nausicca and others, Bearden found themes sympathetic to the African American experience. These motifs of wandering, mourning and the questing for home--considering Bearden's scores of interiors and exteriors, country and city life and depictions of family love--emerge as the central themes of all his art. Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, the first in-depth consideration of these collages since they were originally exhibited 30 years ago, will prove a surprise to Bearden fans and newcomers alike.

Publication made for the occasion of the show at 11 Mansfield Street, London. "Over the last few months, we have immersed ourselves in his archive; to discover new and rediscover familiar pieces; to discuss, and to gain a better understanding of his design and creative process. The focus of our conversations has been on quality; quality of work, life, time, research, food, family and friends. This focus informed our selection of pieces, and the grouping of themes, to reach the final edit of chairs, tables, 'Chables', cabinets, screens, shelves, mirrors, vases, beds, desks, lights, hooks, books and more. The idea was to fully embrace the journey so far, in order to navigate and prioritise what the future should and can become. " —Sarah Douglas

Résumé:
Andrea Blum (born 1950) is a New York–based artist who has worked at the intersection of art, architecture and design since the 1970s. She has exhibited at a wide range of venues and has built projects in Europe and the United States that include public installations, furniture, exhibition design, libraries and other designs for living. Blum’s work considers the relationship of the sociopolitical world to the private psychological one, zooming in and out of the conditions that organize us as a culture, with a focus on the "down time"—when one eats, reads and is in repose—as the time when the border between private behavior and public etiquette is most evidenced. Accompanying an expansive exhibition of the same name at Hunter College Art Galleries, "Biota" is lavishly illustrated with extensive photography of Blum’s early sculpture, public works, exhibitions, installations and propositions of the past 40 years.

Résumé:
In her painting, American artist Amy Sillman (born 1955) expands the standards of abstraction using material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. She destabilizes purported dichotomies and hierarchizations between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and clumsiness, ability and self-negation, process and completion. Now the serial drawings and paintings are multicolored, now monochrome, now they show complex forms, now figures or body parts. And they are always filled with delight in the process. The publication "Amy Sillman: Oh, Clock!" highlights her critical exploration of the history of painting and conveys her complex and sophisticated painterly practice on canvas and beyond.
