Résumé:
The French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is best known for her Nanas—joyful and brightly colored monumental sculptures of goddess-like female figures. But her work, which was grounded in her visionary beliefs about social experiments and personal freedom, ranged much more widely—from painting, film, architecture, and books to theater sets, clothing, and jewelry.(...)

Résumé:
The French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is best known for her Nanas—joyful and brightly colored monumental sculptures of goddess-like female figures. But her work, which was grounded in her visionary beliefs about social experiments and personal freedom, ranged much more widely—from painting, film, architecture, and books to theater sets, clothing, and jewelry. "Niki de Saint Phalle: The Sketchbooks" presents a beautiful collection of previously unpublished drawings, notes, and other preparatory work from Saint Phalle’s private sketchbooks. Culled from a vast archive of never-before-seen materials, these drawings shed new light on Saint Phalle’s fascinating artistic evolution, style, and interior life.

Résumé:
Text by Will Bradley, Adam Budak, Friedemann Malsch, Jan Verwoert, Anthony Vidler. Monika Sosnowska was born in 1972 in Ryki, Poland. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, and currently she lives and works in Warsaw. She represented Poland at last year's art Biennale in Venice. In her installations that echo the formal language of constructivist avant-garde, minimal and conceptual tendencies of the 60s and the 70s as well as a heritage of modernist architecture, Monika Sosnowska constructs a physical and conceptual labyrinth, a post-narrative, inner world of spatiality, staged in a sequence of interventions that emphasize spaces virtualities and potentials.

Belgian artist and draughtswoman Hannelore Van Dijck produces minute and highly textured charcoal drawings that often cover entire surfaces, whether they be walls, floors, sheets of paper, or textiles.

Résumé:
Belgian artist and draughtswoman Hannelore Van Dijck produces minute and highly textured charcoal drawings that often cover entire surfaces, whether they be walls, floors, sheets of paper, or textiles. Although her drawings might seem abstract at first, they are essentially hyperrealistic. Often the differences she introduces are subtle and nuanced, and therein lies their power. They can be described as graphic interventions – small dashes, circular or geometric motifs, lines resembling wood grain, smudges – that appear natural in a way, and as such, become part of the architecture or environment. This artists’ book coincides with an exhibition of Van Dijck’s work at Be-Part in Belgium.

Résumé:
''The Richter Interviews'' collects together a series of conversations between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gerhard Richter over the course of more than two decades of discussion and collaboration. Subjects range from Richter's place within art history to artists books, architecture, religion, unrealised projects and his advice for young artists. The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter's much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral, unveiled in 2007. Obrist's vast knowledge and interrogating mind coupled with his longstanding friendship with Richter make him a unique interlocutor for an artist whose work spans more than 60 years and ranges from painting to photography, glass to printmaking, watercolours to books.

Résumé:
These illustrated essays address the full span of Genzken’s work, from the elegant floor sculptures with which she began her career to the assemblages, bursting with color and bristling with bric-a-brac, that she has produced since the beginning of the millennium. The texts, by writers including Yve-Alain Bois, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, and the artist herself, consider her formation in the West German milieu; her critique of conventions of architecture, reconstruction, and memorialization; her sympathy with mass culture; and her ongoing interrogation of public and private spheres. Two texts appear in English for the first time, including a quasi-autobiographical screenplay written by Genzken in 1993.

Résumé:
By the 1990s, public art had evolved far beyond the lonely monument on an open plaza. Now public artists might design the entire plaza, create an event to alter the social dynamics of an urban environment, or help to reconstruct a neighborhood. Dialogues in Public Art presents a rich blend of interviews with the people who create and experience public art--from an artist who mounted three bronze sculptures in the South Bronx to the bureaucrat who led the fight to have them removed; from an artist who describes his work as a "cancer" on architecture to a pair of architects who might agree with him; from an artist who formed a coalition to convert twenty-two derelict row houses into an art center/community revitalization project to a young woman who got her life back on track while living in one of the converted houses. The twenty interviews are divided into four parts: Controversies in Public Art, Experiments in Public Art as Architecture and Urban Planning, Dialogues on Dialogue-Based Public Art Projects, and Public Art for Public Health. Tom Finkelpearl's introductory essay provides a concise overview of changing attitudes toward the city as the site of public art. Interviewees: Vito Acconci, John Ahearn, David Avalos, Denise Scott Brown, Rufus L. Chaney, Mel Chin, Douglas Crimp, Paulo Freire, Andrew Ginzel, Linnea Glatt, Louis Hock, Ron Jensen, Kristin Jones, Maya Lin, Rick Lowe, Jackie McLean, Frank Moore, Jagoda Przybylak, Assata Shakur, Michael Singer, Elizabeth Sisco, Arthur Symes, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Robert Venturi, Krzysztof Wodiczko.

Résumé:
"What black is this you say?", by Amanda Williams, convenes a broad set of contributors to respond to her own eponymous public artwork at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York City (2021–2023). In this collection, the 17 colors and captions that appeared on the facade of Storefront—the project began as a series of Instagram posts of different hues of black, paired with witty and incisive comments on the multiplicity of Black culture—are expounded upon in poems, essays, and prose. With this anthology, Williams deliberately departs from traditional art criticism by gathering an intimate ensemble of her peers, friends, and collaborators, including Roxane Gay, Corinne Bailey Rae, and J Wortham, to comment on her work.

Résumé:
The author sees connections that others do not, and uses those insights to make speculative proposals that often involve urban land use. This book is a collection of what he calls "detritus"; from the link he created between the historic Dutch city of Utrecht and a homeless camp in the California desert called Slab City. The mixed narratives of individual freedom and communal living meet in both places, as diverse as they may seem, as do other places drawn together using non-linear, multi-layered methods to explore subjects like the history of the Colorado River, the social functions of books and libraries, and disciplines as diverse as chemistry, architecture, social psychology, agriculture, language and disaster response.

Résumé:
From their Southeastern European bases in Bucharest and Sofia, artists Dan Perjovschi and Nedko Solakov have taken the international art world by storm over the course of the last 15 years, showing their work either solo or jointly at such prestigious venues as the 2007 Venice Biennale, Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Both artists work with pictures, texts and biting irony to comment on the social, political and cultural status quo. Early this year, Perjovschi and Solakov took over Vienna's BA-CA-Kunstforum, drawing all over the walls, floors and surrounding architecture with felt-tipped markers and pencils. Political, witty, subversive and fresh, this winning exhibition is documented here.
