Résumé:
'Abitata pietra' (lived-in stone) is a publishing project by Antonio Cammareri, Stefania D’Amato, and Luogo Comune. It is an intense investigation, a graphic and geographical visual narration, a landscape of signs, a collection of illustrations that analyse particular and global elements, fragments and entities, in an attempt to define the rupestrian landscape that connects the italian territories of Matera, Montescaglioso, and many other towns and 'inhabited topographies' all over the world. The book is the result of site specific research and narrative experimentation carried out collectively by the artists and includes five photographic contributions on rupestrian civilisation.

Résumé:
This ambitious publication surveys Neel’s nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York’s global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel’s emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist’s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel’s portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity.

Résumé:
An exploration of the art and writing of Louise Bourgeois through the lens of her relationship with Freudian psychoanalysis. From 1952 to 1985, Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) underwent extensive Freudian analysis that probed her family history, marriage, motherhood, and artistic ambition—and generated inspiration for her artwork. Examining the impact of psychoanalysis on Bourgeois’s work, this volume offers insight into her creative process. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois’s literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist’s life and work and the ways in which the psychoanalytic process informed her artistic practice. An essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst’s viewpoint on the artist’s long and complex relationship with therapy. In addition, a short text written by Bourgeois (first published in 1991) addresses Freud’s own relationship to art and artists. Featuring excerpts from Bourgeois’s copious diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, Louise Bourgeois, "Freud’s daughter" opens exciting new avenues for understanding an innovative, influential, and groundbreaking artist whose wide-ranging work includes not only renowned large-scale sculptures but also a plethora of paintings and prints.

Résumé:
Dana Claxton (born 1959) is a critically acclaimed, award-winning artist and filmmaker working across film, video, photography, single and multichannel video installation and performance art. Her practice investigates the body, the socio-political and the spiritual within realms of indigenous beauty. This book consolidates our understanding of Dana Claxton’s dominant and recurring themes—indigenous history, culture, beauty and spirituality. While Claxton’s art often alludes to the destructive legacy of colonialism, it also celebrates the resurgence of First Nations’ presence and contemporary identity. What emerges is an artist delivering works of ever greater power and conviction. With her expansive and genre-defying practice—photography, videos, mixed-media installations, text works, performances and curatorial work—she continues to critically reimagine the space of the gallery to be accessible for wider Indigenous audiences and to uphold new understandings of beauty.

Every age needs an author of aphorisms. In the words of Douglas Coupland, KNOWING EVERYTHING TURNS OUT TO BE SLIGHTLY BORING, and A LACK OF SHAME IS RESISTANCE. From big data to democracy, his ongoing slogan series presents the topics of our times with bracing, provocative wit and graphic impact. Laid out one per page against a spectrum of solid colors, these statements revisit the work of Jenny Holzer through a 21st-century filter. In just a few words each time, Coupland makes sense of our culture at large. In addition to existing slogans, the book reveals ten exclusive slogans and an original essay by the artist.

Résumé:
Don’t be misled by the sweet pictures in pretty colours, for we’re dealing with a radical artist here. This anarchist in angel’s clothing contravenes a number of contemporary art’s unwritten laws. Gijs Frieling is a standard-bearer for ornament and decoration and he embraces exuberance. His representations are not minimal but maximal, as full as can be, and there’s always room for an extra flower. Gijs couldn’t care less about the concepts of novelty and originality; on the contrary, he wants to work as unadventurously and predictably as possible. His paintings are jam-packed with repetition and he often falls back on the same elements. Also, he copies to his heart’s delight – his own work and that of others, in versions that are painted (on glass) or embroidered (by his mother) and the distinction between the copy and the original doesn’t interest him in the slightest. Moreover, his work is not critical but it is pleasing, it is incredibly beautiful, and on top of this he is a Christian.

Résumé:
Itee Pootoogook belonged to a new generation of Inuit artists who are transforming and reshaping the creative traditions that were successfully pioneered by their parents and grandparents in the second half of the 20th century. A meticulous draughtsman who worked with graphite and coloured pencil, Itee depicted buildings in Kinngait that incorporated a perspectival view, a relatively recent practice influenced by his training as a carpenter and his interest in photography. His portraits of acquaintances and family members similarly bear witness to the contemporary North. Whether he depicts them at work or resting, his subjects are engaged in a range of activities from preparing carcasses brought in from hunting to playing music or contemplating the landscape of the North. Itee was also an inventive landscapist. Many of his finest Arctic scenes emphasize the open horizon that separates land from sky and the ever-shifting colours of the Arctic. Rendering the variable light of the landscape with precision, he brought a level of attention that contributed, over time, to his style.

Résumé:
Cette publication rend compte de l'approche singulière du dessin de Léa Belooussovitch à travers une sélection d'œuvres réalisées à main levée et au crayon de couleur sur du feutre textile blanc. L'artiste réinterprète selon un long processus, des photographies de nature violente issues des médias. Cette démarche confère un nouveau souffle à ces photographies, en faisant ressortir la part d'humanité qu'il y reste. Les dessins de Léa Belooussovitch répondent à un même protocole. Elle commence par sélectionner dans la presse ou sur Internet des images qui nous assaillent quotidiennement, liées à des faits d'actualités dramatiques : attentats au Pakistan, scènes de guerre en Syrie... L'artiste se concentre sur la représentation de victimes anonymes blessées ou vulnérables. Léa Belooussovitch soumet ces images-sources à diverses manipulations (recadrage, agrandissement) avant d'entamer leur transfert sur le support du feutre. Ce travail lent et répétitif d'accumulation des traits du crayon de couleur altère l'aspect lisse de la matière et lui confère un volume duveteux.
