Résumé:
Tatiana Trouvé works with staged rooms, architectonic interventions and snake-like metal sculptural objects. This publication is the first devoted exclusively to Trouvé's drawings, which at first resemble classic architectural sketches, and on closer inspection appear to collapse vanishing points and blur interior and exterior.

Described as a "world atlas against disappearance," this artist's book from Cyprien Gaillard (born 1980) presents 900 Polaroid photos, arranged into diamond-shaped grids, of architectural dilapidation, from ancient times to the present. Approaching the world as an archeological dig, Gaillard unites form with content by using an analogously outmoded instrument - the Polaroid - to depict these ruined or about-to-be ruined buildings.

This book brings together Serra's drawn work, considering the artist's investigation of medium as an activity both independent from and linked to his pioneering sculptural practice. First working in ink, charcoal, and lithographic crayon on paper, Serra originally used drawing as a means to explore form and perceptual relations between his sculpture and the viewer. Over(...)

Résumé:
This book brings together Serra's drawn work, considering the artist's investigation of medium as an activity both independent from and linked to his pioneering sculptural practice. First working in ink, charcoal, and lithographic crayon on paper, Serra originally used drawing as a means to explore form and perceptual relations between his sculpture and the viewer. Over time, his drawings underwent significant shifts in concept, materials, and scale and became fully realized and autonomous works of art. The grand, bold forms he created with black paintstick in his monumental Installation Drawings were designed to disrupt and complement existent spaces and eventually began to occupy entire rooms. In the late 1980s, Serra explored the tension of weight and gravity through layering, and his most recent work experiments with surface effects, using mesh screens as intermediaries between the gesture and the transfer of pigment to paper.

Résumé:
This book examines the career of New York-based artist Sherrie Levine, whose 1981 series of photographs "after Walker Evans"--taken not from life but from Evans's famous depression-era documents of rural Alabama--became central examples in theorizing postmodernism in the visual arts in the 1980s. For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a(...)

Résumé:
This book examines the career of New York-based artist Sherrie Levine, whose 1981 series of photographs "after Walker Evans"--taken not from life but from Evans's famous depression-era documents of rural Alabama--became central examples in theorizing postmodernism in the visual arts in the 1980s. For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a broad range of sources, both historical and theoretical, to assess an artist whose work was understood from the outset to challenge both the label "artist" and the idea of oeuvre--and who has over the past three decades crafted a significant oeuvre of her own.

In 2010 – 11 the work of Dutch sculptor Mark Manders, a winner of the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art, is touring the USA for the first time, with shows at the Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Aspen Art Museum, the Walker Art Center Minneapolis, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Manders' work aims to bypass language, gathering existing and self-made objects into tableaux that incorporate figures, animals, household goods, archeological debris and architectural components, and evoke a mysterious world of daydreams and fairy tales. For this travelling exhibition and artist's book Manders has created an entirely new body of work, including sculpture and works on paper.

Résumé:
Minoru Nomata paints fantastical, impossible buildings and structures, often towering over the landscape; he sets them in typological series that are somehow reminiscent of the photographs of Bernd and Hiller Becher. Nomata’s enthralling creations – towers that are half steel and half jungle, balloon-powered factories – are rendered in sober, autumnal shades that lend them majesty, and recall one of Nomata’s own inspirations – German Romanticism, and Caspar David Friedrich. Four essays explore his achievements.

Résumé:
London street artist Slinkachu has caused a stir in urban art with his photographs of ‘little people’ – meticulously made and posed miniature figures inhabiting a familiar but outsized urban terrain. Big Bad City is a new edition of the original 2008 book capturing this phenomenon; previously published images are joined by more little people photographed in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Curious but never quaint, Slinkachu’s tiny friends are left to fend for themselves in the city, confusing and delighting those who come across them – especially when discovered in the grisly but hilarious situations of pieces like ‘Office Politics’, ‘Pinned Down’ and ‘Bad First Date’.

Résumé:
In recent years, the boundaries between art and design have become more and more blurred. It is not the object itself, but rather its economic functionality that determines where design stops and art begins - and this functionality is reassessed at every link in the chain of the object s dissemination. In fact, it is often customs officials who subjectively decide what constitutes art and design based on their personal views and erratic local tax laws. Taxing Art is an insightful case study by Beta Tank that illustrates the influence of tax laws on art and creativity. The Berlin-based studio created a series of blended work, which was partly handmade and partly machine-made, and sent it around the world. Naturally, this resulted in differing customs duties. The book is a buoyantly ironic, clever documentation and analysis of the effect of traditional, bureaucratic procedures on innovative work. Beta Tank hopes this publication will fuel a dialog about how true innovation and creativity, that which crosses boundaries and moves into the unknown, can be actively pursued and matched within existing categories and assumptions about business practices and results. The book puts a spotlight on the effect that tax laws have on art and design.

Résumé:
Shimmering images, inverted worlds: is the city moving or the viewer and - if both - who is quicker, more authentic, more fleeting? Catherine Gfeller’s photographic and video work, based on incessantly pulsating urban landscapes, is autobiographical insofar as it focuses on New York and Paris, but it is hardly private. Everything here is public, yet nothing can really be captured. In other groups of works, the artist takes a thoroughly different look at the symbiotic relationship between mankind and the environment, peering behind the anonymous façades of buildings and exposing intimate living spaces. Speed, exhileration and indulgence: "The only form of stability [can be found] in being ‘lulled by the loop’, as if caught up in the unfathomable delirium of repetition." This volume is being published to accompany three museum exhibitions to be held at the Musée des Beaux-art La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Kunstmuseum Luzern, and the Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Languedoc-Roussillon Sète.
