Résumé:
Nova Cantabrigiensis is a utopian island in the middle of the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia. It is the invention of visionary outsider artist John Devlin, and was designed to recreate the atmosphere and architecture of Cambridge, England, which John considers to be the perfect city. John came to study in Cambridge in 1979, and fell in love with its unique ambience. When mental illness forced him to return home to Canada after just one year, he became obsessed with discovering the secret to 'the Cambridge essence'. Over ten years, John created over 360 beautiful and unique illustrations, dream-like sketches of re-imagined and reconfigured Cambridge buildings, drawn again and again in the pursuit of perfection. The book Nova Cantabrigiensis presents a selection of John's illustrations, as well as an essay describing his plans for the island and his mathematical theories about architecture. It is published by Island Editions.

Résumé:
Celebrated for his brilliant use of old film stills, portraits, postcards and other found imagery, John Stezaker engages with this exquisitely selected found material through inversion, excision, incision, fusion and accidental damage. In this extensive monograph/exhibition catalog, Stezaker focuses on the dialectics innate in the work; life and death, seeing and blindness, male and female, love and betrayal, portrait and landscape, and more. Included are works ranging from 1977 up to the most recent series from 2010, introducing lesser-known groups such as ‘Sublimes’ and ‘Lost Tracks’ alongside his famous ongoing series including ‘Masks’ and ‘Marriages’. The largest monographic catalogue on Stezaker to date, the publication features texts by Dawn Ades and Michael Bracewell and a conversation between the artist and Daniel Herrmann and Christophe Gallois, with over 80 images of the artists’ work.

Résumé:
John Stezaker began his ongoing series of film still collages in 1979; the result of a period which marked a crucial change in the direction of the artist’s work which had previously been centred around a text based "conceptualism". The series moves with Stezaker’s changing interests, using stills from classic American-period Hitchcock films as raw material before shifting towards the undistinguishable mass of 1940s and early 1950s low-budget studio films. Featuring collages based on a combination of film still excisions and superimpositions, this ongoing series is catalogued comprehensively for the first time here. Bringing together Stezaker’s earliest film still collages to his most recent, this publication follows on from Ridinghouse titles Masks and Marriages, with full colour illustrations accompanied by an essay by David Campany and a conversation between the critic and the artist.

Résumé:
This new Ed Kienholz overview casts the Los Angeles assemblage pioneer as a powerful moral force in postwar art. Kienholz (1927-1994) was a polarizing presence in American art from the start of his career, when his first large-scale installation "Roxy's" - a recreation of a brothel - was shown at the Ferus gallery in 1962 (it later caused a huge stir at Documenta 4 in 1968).War, racism, sexism and media exploitation were among his recurrent themes, and he tackled them with an ethical clarity that, at the time, was frequently mistaken for shock tactics. This substantial monograph - the first since his major touring retrospective of 1996 - includes more than 200 color plates of Kienholz's assemblages, reasserting his art as a morally driven enterprise, and pointing towards his ongoing influence among contemporary artists such as Jonathan Meese, Thomas Hirschhorn and John Bock.

Résumé:
Faisant suite à une série d’expositions monographiques présentée entre 2008 et 2011 en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, cette publication propose un premier aperçu de l’œuvre multiforme de l’artiste austro-canadien Klaus Scherübel. Ancrée dans la tradition de l’art conceptuel, la pratique de Scherübel résiste à toute catégorisation facile. Son travail propose une investigation systématique de l’activité artistique mettant en question les frontières séparant les fonctions d’artiste, d’historien, de conservateur, d’éditeur, de commanditaire ou de spectateur. En utilisant une variété de stratégies esthétiques, ses entreprises artistiques reconsidèrent des œuvres, des concepts et des genres issues des arts visuels, de la littérature du cinéma et de la télévision. VOL. 13 documente et analyse quelques uns de ses projets les plus connus des vingt dernières années incluant la série Untitled (The Artist at Work) ainsi que ses projets de livre dédiés aux entreprises littéraires et conceptuels du poète français Stéphane Mallarmé et de l’écrivain fictif Jack Torrance tiré du film d’horreur The Shining. Il contient des essais de Jean-François Chevrier et de Patrice Loubier ainsi qu’une entrevue entre Helmut Draxler et l’artiste. Scherübel a personnellement pris en charge la conception de cet ouvrage, nous offrant tout autant une publication sur sa démarche autoréflexive qu’un prolongement de celle-ci.

Résumé:
Mentor to a generation of Californian Conceptualists and performance artists, Guy de Cointet (1934-1983) took language as a material from which to generate drawings, plays and performances. De Cointet collected phrases, words and even single letters culled from popular culture and literary sources, and scripted them as dialogues or props for plays inspired by the writings and homonymic compositional methods of Raymond Roussel: in the 1976 play "At Sunrise... A Cry Was Heard," for example, a large painting depicting letters bisected by a white sash provides the dialogue of the lead actress, who recites its jumble of letters as if it were ordinary conversation. His drawings were often generated by geometric erasures of found text, leaving behind Concrete-style abstract patterns. A formative figure for Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy during his tenure at the Otis Art institute, de Cointet is today in the process of being rediscovered; this timely monograph is the first overview of his enigmatic and influential oeuvre.
