Résumé:
Pippa Garner’s (born 1942) ''Better Living Catalog'', originally published in 1982, takes the form of a mail-order catalog featuring clever, whimsical inventions that parody consumer goods and America’s obsession with ingenuity, efficiency, leisure and comfort. These works, which were made as prototypes and photographed for the publication, include the Reactiononometer, a portable wristband that instantly measures social success; the Digital Diet Loafers, which display the wearer’s weight with every step; and other items promising financial solvency (the controlled cash flow Autowallet) or mess-free companionship (the Pet-a-Vision TV console). The ''Better Living Catalog'' was a pop hit when it was published, earning Garner spots on nighttime TV talk shows and attention from magazines such as Vogue and Rolling Stone. The works still resonate today, finding their analogue in many consumer products and—in the case of the High Heel Skates—even appearing unattributed in the runway collection of a major fashion brand. Around the time that the ''Better Living Catalog'' was published, Garner began her gender transition, which she has characterized as an artistic project with conceptual parallels to the altered consumer goods she has continued to create since the 1970s.

Résumé:
Accompanying the large-scale traveling exhibition "Ellsworth Kelly at 100", this volume celebrates the groundbreaking career of the beloved American abstractionist. This publication highlights key aspects of his multifaceted art?from his lifelong drawing practice through his later explorations of layered canvas panels. Kelly frequently revisited shapes and motifs observed throughout his career, exploring form, color, line and space through painting, sculpture, collage, drawing and photography. The fully illustrated publication highlights works from major public and private collections alongside key works from Glenstone's collection, including seminal early pieces such as "Painting for a White Wall" (1952) and "Painting in Three Panels" (1956), as well as examples from the iconic Chatham and Spectrum series. Also featured is "Yellow Curve" (1990), a monumental floor painting installation that spans nearly 1,000 square feet, on view for the first time in more than 30 years since it was conceived for an exhibition at Portikus am Main in Frankfurt. Essays by Jean-Pierre Criqui, Alex Da Corte, Suzanne Hudson, Corey Keller and others explore and expand upon Kelly’s canon. With three gatefolds and a tip-on cover image, the book also includes unpublished archival materials from the artist’s studio and the Glenstone archives.

Résumé:
In a new series of original texts for Drawing Matter, artist Deanna Petherbridge provides commentary on a number of her recent pen and ink drawings. The drawings use imagined architectural imagery as a metaphorical means to deal with complex subject matter about social and political issues. Since her initial response to civil war, destroyed cities and enforced migrations through and out of Syria in the triptych ''The Destruction of the City of Homs'' Petherbridge has embarked on a series of multi-panelled drawings about migrations, walls and barriers and threatened institutions. Her commentary on ''Crossing the Abyss'' (2019) can be read in Drawing Matter’s ''Women writing architecture'' publication or online; this seminal drawing sparked off a series of related works. The Covid-19 pandemic has been her major preoccupation under lockdown, but Petherbridge is hoping that her latest on-going pieces reflecting on pollution, governmental controls and devastated landscapes prove to be the last in the series.

Résumé:
Ruth Asawa (1926–2013), widely known for her looped-wire sculptures, was an inveterate drawer. She filled sketchbook after sketchbook and even stated that drawing was central to her sculpture. This volume is the first to consider the significance of drawing in Asawa’s oeuvre throughout her career, featuring essays that examine the range of Asawa’s aesthetic maneuvers across materials and techniques; how Asawa’s drawing intertwined with the Bay Area arts community and her contributions to public education as a teacher and organizer; and the influence of Josef Albers’s pedagogy and Asawa’s lifelong adoption of his type of paper folding. Tracing Asawa’s artistic journey from her first formal art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II through her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this comprehensive overview of the artist’s drawings includes reproductions of more than one hundred works—many of which have never been published—organized into eight thematic sections that cut through time, reflecting an art-making practice that was more circular or cyclical than linear.

Its name derives from the hook-shaped formation with which it shows up on a weather radar. In 1974 a supercell tornado hit the city of Xenia, Ohio (US), demolishing around 1400 buildings. This publication juxtaposes two sequences made of found(...)

Résumé:
A hook echo is a radar signature for the part of a supercell tornado wherein the clouds come together with maximum force. Its name derives from the hook-shaped formation with which it shows up on a weather radar. In 1974 a supercell tornado hit the city of Xenia, Ohio (US), demolishing around 1400 buildings. This publication juxtaposes two sequences made of found collections: a set of 48 photographs that capture the aftermath of the Ohio tornado, and 22 pages from an album of compiled crochet samples. In this new context, the images relate to each other as a series of structures that become physical matter, accumulations of material. HOOK ECHO is the first installment of DRAGNET, an ongoing series informed by existing sets of images: archives, collections, unseen documents, or works in progress. Each DRAGNET publication is printed in a limited edition and contains an original print.
