Résumé:
This is the first book to approach Russian avant-garde art from the perspective of the anti-art canons associated with the international Dada movement. The works described and documented in Russian Dada were produced at the height of Dada's flourishing, between World War I and the death of Vladimir Lenin—who, incidentally, was a frequent visitor to Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, the founding site of Dada. Like the Dadaists, the Russian avant-gardists whose works appear in this volume strove for internationalism, fused the verbal and visual, and engaged in eccentric practices and pacifist actions, including outrageous performances and anti-war campaigns. ''Russian Dada'', which accompanies a major exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, includes 250 images and essays by leading art historians.

The Lawn Road Flats, or Isokon building (as it came to be known), was commissioned by the young visionary couple Jack and Molly Pritchard and designed by aspiring architect Wells Coates. This book tells the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day, and fully examines the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and the infamous dinner parties.

In this brilliant, engaging, and stimulating history, Didier Maleuvre journeys to the outer reaches of human experience and explores philosophy, religion, and art to understand our struggle and fascination with limits—of life, knowledge, existence, and death. Maleuvre sweeps us through a vast cultural landscape, enabling us to experience each stopping place as the cusp of a limitless journey, whether he is discussing the works of Picasso, Gothic architecture, Beethoven, or General Relativity. If, as Aristotle said, philosophy begins in wonder, then this remarkable book shows us how wonder—the urge to know beyond the conceivable—is itself the engine of culture.

The result of research conducted on two fronts--conservation and curatorial--the catalogue offers a reconsideration of the cut-outs by exploring a host of technical and conceptual issues: the artist's methods and materials and the role and function of the works in his practice; their economy of means and exploitation of decorative strategies; their environmental aspects; and their double lives, first as contingent and mutable in the studio and ultimately made permanent, a transformation accomplished via mounting and framing.

Through reproductions of letters, invitation cards, exhibition reviews, performance scripts and images, the publication retraces Latham’s radical practice over six decades, from the late 1940s to his death in 2006. The book highlights Latham’s prodigious linguistic inventiveness as well as the variety of his interlocutors, from artists and art world figures (Clement Greenberg, Lucy Lippard) to academics (Noam Chomsky, Stephen Hawking) and politicians (Margaret Thatcher). The Portable John Latham is introduced by co-editors Antony Hudek and Athanasios Velios, and includes a reprint of an interview of Latham by the late Charles Harrison from 1968 and a useful glossary section.

Almost everything can manifest itself in the center of a roundabout, endowing this non-place with a meaning that we only casually glimpse while driving by: advertisements for local businesses, historical allegories, artworks, craft, monuments of ruling ideologies and religions—as though man could not abide a void. These wry photographs, with their delight in the absurd, are a prime example of an anthropology of everyday and popular culture inviting the reader to reflect on cultural and social differences, vernacular culture, and man’s horror of the void. At time of his premature death, Züst was preparing the publication of this book.

The narrative takes place through the eyes of a child who describes the life and death of the modernist architect Erno Goldfinger, who built Notting Hill's Trellick Tower. The failure of late twentieth century utopian ideals is heightened through the innocent protagonist. Gander plays upon the artist’s use of constructed fictions that are or could be based upon actual realities or occurrences within the everyday. To Gander, the past, and by inference, the present are open to a state of imagined disturbance or articulation through a strategy that places fictional characterisation at the core of his practice.
