Yasuhide Kuge - Reinventing the Wheel

He He 2023 ISBN 9784908062476 Acqn 33624
Pb 15x21cm 64pp col ills £39

Yasuhide Kuge's 'Reinventing the Wheel' begins with an image, taken with a large-format camera
about 20 years ago, of numerous music cassette tapes. Music represents an inevitable and
timeless medium for creative ideas and images for those who love and listen to it. The book
contains landscape and aerial photographs of sun-baked salt fields in the Brittany region of
France, in addition to tightly framed detail shots of various sculptures. With this collection of
images, Yasuhide provides an opportunity to reconsider the concept of time and its unique
relation to photography, fixating on two themes which are closely related to the medium:
contingency and redundancy.

E IL TOPO - History of an artists' magazine with an unusual editorial strategy

A+M Bookstore Edizione 2023 ISBN 9791281232020 Acqn 33626
Pb 21x30cm 928pp col ills £95

The publishing project E IL TOPO reconstructs the evolution and achievements of the artists'
magazine of the same title, produced from 1992 to 1996, and then from 2012 to the present. It is
composed of a boxed set containing two volumes, as well as eight artists' posters. The first
volume is the anastatic reprint of all 33 issues of the magazine, in the original size. The second
volume reconstructs the conceptual matrix that has given rise to this unique example of
independent and collaborative publishing, with essays by Anna Cuomo, Francoise Lonardoni, and
Giorgio Verzotti. The magazine E IL TOPO was founded by Gabriele Di Matteo and Franco
Silvestro together with Armando della Vittoria, Piero Gatto and vedova Mazzei, in Naples in 1992,
but its editorial team has always been international, transgenerational and anti-hierarchical. Over
the years, the group has been composed of about 20 individuals, in a fluid configuration that has
brought together different artists and authors, in many cases for work on specific projects and
exchanges: Stefano Arienti, Massimo Bartolini, Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Mark Dion,
Jimmie Durham, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, John Lurie, Eva Marisaldi, Miltos Manetas,
Amedeo Martegani, Cesare Viel, Luca Vitone, among others. The unusual editorial strategy
resides, for the most part, in the intrinsic power of discontinuity of meaning, but also of play, irony
and detournement. E IL TOPO is still an international "movement" today, transmitting a libertarian
attitude whose modus operandi tolerates no preset roles, but is always open to multidisciplinary
and multi-authorial contributions.

Leen Voet - For all the Cats in the World

Ludion 2023 ISBN 9789493039971 Acqn 33627
Hb 21x26cm 272pp col ills £45

Using subtle humour, Leen Voet incorporates elements from visual and literary sources into
paintings, installations, and drawings which she systematically brings together in series. From a
voyeuristic view of life, painting, and artistry, Voet reflects on stereotypes, the local, the autonomy
of the individual, and origins and provenance. Her style balances on the border of the pictorial
and is characterised by vibrant hues, fields of colour, and geometric shapes. 'For all the Cats in
the World' presents an overview of the rich oeuvre she has produced in recent years. With an
essay by Martin Germann and a conversation between the artist and curator Eva Wittocx.

Figures of Absence - The Films of DORE O.

Strzelecki Books 2023 ISBN 9783910298064 Acqn 33634
Pb 21x28cm 248pp col ills £32

Aiming at a long-overdue reappraisal of Dore O.'s avant-garde film practice, this publication
honors the work and legacy of Dore O., one of Germany's most pioneering experimental
filmmakers. In the 1960s, the painter Dore O. became one of the first and few women in Germany
to turn to experimental film in such a consistent and self-determined way. She was actively
involved in exploring new forms of cinema while developing her own "signature, her own tone, her
own film method" (Harun Farocki). Figures of Absence exposes the formal rigor and
inventiveness as well as the cultural connotations and historical ramifications of a cinematic vision
that has been relegated to the purely personal, diaristic, and even nonintellectual realms. With
previously unpublished archival material and rare interviews, extensive image material, as well as
new contributions from the leading scholars and experts on women's experimental cinema,
including Albert Alcoz, Ute Aurand, Robin Blaetz, Christine Noll Brinckmann, Stephen Broomer,
Vera Dika, Mike Hoolboom, Sarah Keller, Anthony Moore, Lucy Reynolds, and Maureen Turim,
among others.

Hippolyte Hentgen – Imagier

Centre D'art Le Lait 2023 ISBN 9782913042070 Acqn 33635
Hb 22x32cm 224pp col ills £42

The four-handed drawing practiced by Hippolyte Hentgen has gradually mutated into a practice of
the image in the broadest sense: by collages, heterogeneous documentary borrowings ... Imagier
brings together thirteen years of production by the two artists, from 2009 to 2022. In the
introduction, Claire Gilman explores the anti-hierarchical way in which Hippolyte Hentgen makes
images. A long-term interview with Tony Come then allows us to revisit their practice of collecting
and quoting, and by implication, the historical conditions of the production of drawing. Finally, a
contribution by Jad Fair brings this generous monograph to a poetic close.

Erlea Maneros Zabala - The Voice of the Valley (2016-2022)

Paraguay Press 2023 ISBN 9782918252801 Acqn 33637
Pb 19x26cm 118pp col ills £30

The Voice of the Valley (2016-2022) is a book by Erlea Maneros Zabala, who was born in the
Spanish Basque Country and has been living in California for the last two decades. Conceived
along with her exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Basque Country Artium Museoa,
in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2022, the book goes off the trail from a conventional exhibition catalogue.
Voices and images dissociate, overlap and interweave, generating an atmosphere rather than
offering a survey. An atmosphere, as in a visual, mental, and sonic landscape. The American
writer Dodie Bellamy, with whom Erlea Maneros Zabala has been in close conversation during
the making of this book contributed to the book with an interview with the artist and a hybrid text
written for the occasion, in which Bellamy responds to themes and images in The Voice of the
Valley. The writing of Bellamy echoes the slow, persistent way of working of Erlea Maneros
Zabala, which is based on an economy of means that takes the everyday, hers and that of her
work environment, into account, without shying from the starker realities of our existences.

Haegue Yang - Mesmerizing Mesh - Paper Leap and Resonating Habitat

Is-land 2023 ISBN 9791097544102 Acqn 33638
Pb 14x21cm 96pp col ills £21.50

For several years, Haegue Yang has been studying the ambivalent relationship between spirit
and matter and investigating mystical practices, from European paganism to Asian shamanism. In
recent years, his interest has turned to different paper-cutting traditions, particularly the sacred
dimension of hanji, a traditional Korean paper made by hand from mulberry pulp, from which the
Mesmerizing Mesh series is inspired. After their meeting in Paris, during the opening of the
exhibition at the Chantal Crousel Gallery in 2022, Haegue Yang and Nicolas Bureau had the
conversation that accompanies the works reproduced in this book. Together they talked about
shamanism, travel, artists' and anthropologists' status, and transcending the boundaries between
fields of knowledge.

Big Tail Elephant - Build and Resist

Les Presses Du Reel 2023 ISBN 9782378963989 Acqn 33639
Pb 19x25cm 560pp col ills £42

This publication presents a retrospective of the performances, photographs, installations and

videos of the avant-garde collective that disrupted the Chinese cultural scene in the 1990s. The
Big Tail Elephant Working Group was founded at the end of 1990 and existed until 2005, when
the four members took part in an exhibition together for the last time (Liang Juhui and Chen
Shaoxiong died in their prime, respectively in 2006 and 2016). Those 15 years also witnessed the
drastic development and transformation of art and society in the Pearl River Delta region as well
as in the whole of China. Big Tail Elephant stood out as a singular presence in the history of
Chinese contemporary art, and even today, their artistic practices and thoughts still inspire us
with their vision and vitality.
