Using City Art Square in Shatin as an example, Crossing Boundaries invited over thirty artists, architects, curators, residents, venue owners, sponsors, urban-planners and others to explore various possibilities of public art in Hong Kong.

Wade Guyton - Secession Drawings for a Small Room Revolver 2011 ISBN 9783868951677 Acqn 20614 Pb 23x31cm 80pp ills 18.50 In his exhibition Zeichnungen fr ein kleines Zimmer (Drawings For A Small Room) at the Secession, American artist Wade Guyton shows small-format works characterized by a minimalist formal vocabulary. As his support medium, he uses pages from old art, architecture and lifestyle magazines which he prints over with an inkjet printer. The abstract idiom devised by the artist on the computer using standard word processing software and the results of this work process are imposed by the fluctuating quality of the printing technology. The works are often ripped or crumpled, with more or less ink applied, plus errors and problems of saturation.

Martin Kippenberger Eggman II Skarstedt Fine Art 2012 ISBN 9781616237202 Acqn 20946 Hb 24x30cm 64pp ills 26.95 One of the most versatile and prolific artists of the postwar era, Martin Kippenberger (19531997) has been the subject of numerous major exhibitions since his premature death at the age of 44. The last exhibition in his lifetime took place at the Stdtisches Museum Abteiberg, in Mnchengladbach, Germany, and was titled Der Eiermann und seine Ausleger (The Eggman and his Outriggers). This publication focuses on nine paintings, a group of drawings and one sculpture that formed the centre of this final exhibit, all of which were made in the last three years of Kippenbergers life. These works explore the motif of the egg--a key theme throughout the artists career, deployed to variously reference rebirth, reproduction and circularity, and also used as a comic device: in one self-portrait, Kippenberger depicts himself as an eggman whose torso has expanded well beyond its youthful contours.

Nicholas Krushenick A Survey Gary Snyder Gallery 2012 ISBN 9780982974735 Acqn 20947 Hb 21x25cm 144pp 75col ills 26.95 Where some painters emerging in the late 1950s struggled with the disparities between Abstract Expressionist and Pop styles, often electing to choose one or the other, Nicholas Krushenick (19291999) solved the problem by choosing both--that is, by evolving his own unique style, in his own resolutely independent trajectory. This monograph--the first since 1972--offers a retrospective view of Krushenicks work from the 1960s to the 1990s, from the loose geometries and web-like forms of his early paintings to the artists groundbreaking experiments in Pop abstraction, which have lost none of their relevance, freshness and energy. Also included is a selection of collages and preparatory drawings, many of which have never been reproduced, plus essays by critics and admirers. The volume is published on the occasion of a survey exhibition at Gary Snyder Gallery in September 2011.

Ines Lombardi - Secession Past Present - Close and Distant Revolver 2011 ISBN 9783868951424 Acqn 20616 Pb 23x31cm 64pp ills 16.95 "A journey occurs simultaneously in space, in time, and in the social hierarchy. Each impression can be defined only by being jointly related to these three axes, and since space is itself threedimensional, five axes are necessary if we are to have an adequate representation of any journey." (Claude Lvi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques, Penguin Books 1992, p. 85). This quote from the French structuralist, ethnologist, and explorer Claude Lvi-Strauss brings to mind something about the complex and multi-layered quality of Ins Lombardi's art. Since the late 1980s, she has been working on a constantly evolving body of work characterized by a highly differentiated mode of perception. In the subtly designed entrance area to her exhibition Past Present Close and Distant at the Secession's Hauptraum, two photographic works from 1990 presented in vitrines mark the polar extremes of black and white. Diagonally opposite, a video projection offers a point of entry to a variety of perceptions, the Secession's modernist architecture also plays a part. From here on, visitors are left to find their own paths through the clearly structured situation, following their associative threads. Walking around the exhibition space articulated by coloured partition walls reveals a complex system of different levels of narrative and reflection. Closer, intimate areas form thematic groups, at the same time as they open up to further links and references.

Christoph Meier Secession Revolver 2011 ISBN 9783868951400 Acqn 20615 Pb 23x31cm 96pp ills 25.50 While the situations staged by Christoph Meier are characterized by an abstract, geometrical formal vocabulary, the objects used appear to represent a plot. The emphasis here is on the performative and narrative potential of the media and presentation formats themselves. For Christoph Meier, exhibitions are only a moment, an isolated presentation for the public, a time for discussionsomething that comes to a head and then subsides again. His current exhibition in the Galerie was preceded by work he did at the Secession in November 2010. He has developed the layout of this previous show into a new exhibition situation, with parallel variations in a brochure and in the catalogue. To describe this, Patrizia Dander uses the metaphor of an echo room. For his objects, Christoph Meier realized the "most striking version" of the principle of copying. The first room in Meier's show can be read as a spatial abstraction of the processes taking place inside a photocopying machine: stark lighting, a perforated metal plate that creates a grid, and a grey curtain recalling the hazy effect created by photocopiers on monochrome fields. The curtain and the metal plates, in which other light sources are reflected, are movablelike the light bar in a copier. And finally, the exhibition as a whole is reflected in a wall-filling mirror at the end of the long space.

Showing the work of the famous Norwegian painter (18531944) in a different light, this exhibition shows how much the artist's curiosity for all of the forms of representation of his era fuelled his inspiration and his work. His experience of photography, cinema, his readings of the illustrated press and even his work for the theatre profoundly influenced his work, the brilliant modernity of which the exhibition reveals.

Saskia Olde Wolbers - Secession A Shot in the Dark Revolver 2011 ISBN 9783868951660 Acqn 20611 Hb 23x31cm 72pp 30col ills 13.95 With her exhibition at the Secession, video artist Saskia Olde Wolbers is showing a selection of her work in Austria for the first time, including a new piece Pareidolia (2011). Since the mid1990s, she has been developing fictional documentaries often loosely based on factual events. Her intricate videos are driven by a combination of otherworldly imagery meticulously handmade model worlds and the apparent inner monologue of the voiceover in the audiobooklike soundtracks. The films are shot underwater. Miniature sets dipped in paint to create unstable imagery that abstractly illustrate the narrator's thought process. Three works by Sakia Olde Wolbers are on show in the Galerie at the Secession: Pareidolia (2011), Trailer (2005) and Placebo (2002). In Olde Wolbers' slowly unfolding spaces of memory submerged in paint and water, the characters and their stories reveal the inherently contradictory, fluid, and ambivalent quality of truth and fiction. They remind us that moving images are capable of totally overriding such distinctions.

His sculptural works are built or assembled out of simple, sometime painted or sprayed materials including cardboard, chipboard, concrete, and metal, supplemented with text, maps or photographs. Starting from his observations of the urban environment, he highlights its failings and subjects the ordering system of modernity to a fundamental critique. His works set up an interplay between autonomous form and an installation-based, narrative and sitespecific character. They deal with good and bad form, with perfection and imprecision, realism and abstraction.

Structure and Absence White Cube 2012 ISBN 9781906072506 Acqn 21121 Hb 24x33cm 78pp 77ills 75col 31 Structure & Absence was a group exhibition that featured the Chinese scholars rock as an organising device or motif. A selection of scholars rocks were installed in the galleries as unfamiliar objects, disrupting how we usually look at contemporary art. The rocks have a deep but ambiguous history in Chinese culture, acting as objects of both trade and contemplation. Although they are non-figurative objects, their suggestive forms also encourage the viewer to find likenesses of familiar things. Equally, the rocks demand close observation of their surface, structure and material. Structure & Absence invited the viewer to bring this blend of imagination and observation to contemporary art.

Hans Van Houwelingen Stiff Artimo 2004 ISBN 9789075380149 Acqn 13189 Hb 20x24cm 312pp 140ills 70col 21.95 As artist in public space, Hans van Houwelingen comments art, public life and cultural politics with each work he makes. This monograph, edited by Max Bruinsma, documents a dozen or two works, each representing a careful analysis of the contexts, with which it has to come to terms and from which it derives its 'raison d'tre'. Three essays cover the broad range of cultural discourses Hans van Houwelingen evokes, from the social and cultural backgrounds of Dutch public art described by Bram Kempers, via a comparison with international positions on art in public space over the last few decades by Stefan Schmidt-Wulffen, to an in-depth analysis of the art-theoretical implications of Van Houwelingen's work by Sjoukje van der Meulen. In addition, a choice of critical texts by Van Houwelingen summarises his provocative and inquisitive stance vis--vis art in public space. Richly illustrated, this book not only offers an overview of Hans van Houwelingen's work, but also of a decade of discourse on art in public space.
