Walking in Cinematic Close-Ups

K. Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783947858491 Acqn 33752
Pb 17x24cm 234pp col ills £33.50
DAF, which stands for Dynamische Akustische Forschung (Dynamic Acoustic Research), is a free
collective that first emerged from a class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg and Munich.
Its members explore contemporary and historical sound practices that exist beyond purely
musical contexts. For DAF, sound is an unstable material, which allows it to be as much
sculptural as it is time-based. This book is a collection of previous projects as well as a
composition in its own right. It was put together to encourage the appreciation of sound as an
exploration of reality from various social, personal, and cultural perspectives. The reality of sound
is, after all, everything that reflects and bounces off, and it is constructed and filtered by people
and objects as well as by people in relation, both to each other as well as to objects. Thus, sound
is not what we think it is, but what we live through and what lives through us.

Africa Supernova - Collection Carla & Pieter Schulting

Kunsthal KAdE 2023 ISBN 9789490153380 Acqn 33824
Hb 23x32cm 232pp col ills £32
African painting has boomed in recent years. It reflects the self-awareness with which artists on
the continent view themselves and their position in the world. Collectors Carla and Pieter
Schulting have assembled an extensive collection of paintings and more over the past five years,
from all parts of Africa as well as the African Diaspora, offering insight into the diverse regions
and cultures. Many of the artists in the collection take themselves or their immediate surroundings
as subjects, producing portraits, figural works, and genre scenes. With a focus on young artists -
most around 30 years old - this exhibition catalogue is a fascinating anthology of an emerging art
scene.

Strata - Italian Art since 2000 - The Words of the Artists

Lenz 2023 ISBN 9782378964610 Acqn 33857
Strata compiles 37 conversations with artists whose work has made a significant contribution to
the Italian and international art scene since 2000. This book is the personal account of a number
of encounters, friendships, and professional relationships that Vincenzo de Bellis and Alessandro
Rabottini have nurtured over the past twenty years. The conversations explore pivotal moments
in each artist's career and delve into their conceptual and formal concerns, focusing on the
aesthetics, philosophies, and politics underpinning their work.
The publication portrays several generations of artists and encompasses an array of diverse
approaches to painting, sculpture, film, performance, installation, social and collective
intervention, photography, and activism. The title of the book, Strata (the Latin term that denotes
the gradual concretion of multiple layers of rock) is thus deployed as a metaphor for the
multiplicity of languages and sensibilities that have brought the cultural debate to life in Italy over
the past two decades. Moreover, the authors hope that the book will also function as a tool for
younger artists, for whom the experiences of the previous generations may constitute a direct
resource, enabling them to dive straight into the body of accumulated knowledge that would
otherwise be mediated by the current educational hierarchy.

On Collecting Artists' Books - The Liliana Dematteis Collection

Corraini Edizioni 2023 ISBN 9788875708443 Acqn 33750
In 2018, the Turin gallerist Liliana Dematteis decided to entrust her precious collection of artists'
books to the Thomas J. Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The volume On
collecting artists' books pays homage to this important collection, born from Dematteis'
experience as a scholar, publisher and director of the Martano Gallery, proposing a comparison
between Italian and American artists who, between the 1960s and the seventies, have
approached this practice. Indeed, in both countries different artistic movements have seen in this
commonly used object not only an alternative and effective vehicle of content, but also a
stimulating ground for experimentation. This selection of volumes, which compares some of the
most emblematic books of Arte Povera, Minimal art, Performance art, Fluxus and Visual Poetry, is
edited by Melania Gazzotti, and is introduced by texts by Liliana Dematteis, Giorgio Di Domenico,
Ken Soehner, and Tony White.

WEB(S) OF LIFE - Tomas Saraceno In Collaboration

Ivory Press 2023 ISBN 9788412279221 Acqn 33848
Published on the occasion of the exhibition by Argentine multimedia artist Tomas Saraceno at the
Serpentine Gallery, this book both draws from and expands on the presentation and includes new
essays from writers, artists, and researchers. Two visual essays on the projects Aerocene and
Ngam Du Spider Diviner complement an additional section on the dimension of the woven
encounters before, during, and beyond the exhibition. Saraceno is known for work which
embraces interdisciplinarity and interconnectedness across ecosystems. The publication includes
texts by the artist as well as by Eduardo Kohn, Maristella Svampa, Yuk Hui, James Bridle, and
others.

We Contain Multitudes - Expanding spaces and forms of mentorship within art education
and practices
ArtEZ Press 2023 ISBN 9789491444739 Acqn 33836
This inspiring book addresses questions such as: How can we become active within our own
learning and unlearning process? What happens when we open to the wisdom of the body? Or
for the knowledge that comes from conversations around the dinner table? How can we make
time to really listen and not to understand? This publication is an invitation to deal openly and
critically with numerous artistic learning methods such as making, listening, talking, researching,
voting, asking questions and collaborating. The contributions between the pages show other
ways, perspectives and practices, which are often closer than we think.

Artists' Survival Kit

Nero 2023 ISBN 9788880562207 Acqn 33832
Beneath the glamorous surface of the art world - the openings and dinner parties, the record-
breaking auction prices, the media attention - lies a reality that is precarious, complex, and very
often existential: only a tiny minority of artists support themselves with their work and fewer still
manage to do so throughout their lives. This book tells those other stories, for example of artistic
practices grounded in performance, research, and political activism. These practices are not
necessarily oriented toward producing marketable objects.

Perpetual Slavery
Floating Opera Press 2023 ISBN 9783982389448 Acqn 33831
In 'Perpetual Slavery', Ciaran Finlayson investigates the relationship of art to freedom in the work
of Cameron Rowland and Ralph Lemon, who both utilize imagery of labour haunted and
structured by the historical experience of slavery. Finlayson suggests that these two artists' work
overcomes the dichotomy between the recording of history and its interpretation by making both
the object of artistic experience, thereby providing a space to grasp the continuing effects of
slavery. Ciaran Finlayson is a writer and editor based in New York City. His primary research is
on contemporary art with emphases on Marxism, Black studies, philosophy of history, and
conceptual art.

Rise and Fall of the Middlemen by Honza Zamojski

Nero 2023 ISBN 9788880562078 Acqn 33830
Pb 23x31cm 160pp col ills £41
In his latest book, artist Honza Zamojski makes an illustrative and poetic attempt to describe the
Middlemen, their everyday life, and the realities that surround them. The book's short punchlines
mark the rhythm of the Middelmen's life and their movements in the illustrations, which are wryly
reminiscent of Kafka's fictional world. Honza Zamojski (born 1981 in Poznan, Poland) is an artist,
designer, book publisher and curator who draws upon a broad range of media and artistic
practice, from drawings and sculptures to infographics inspired by corporate communications and
poetic word games. The publication comes with a cardboard puppet, to be screwed and
assembled.

Daniel Arsham - 100 Hotel Sketches

Perrotin 2023 ISBN 9791091539418 Acqn 33829
Arsham's self-described "first love," drawing, has consistently been an important discipline for the
artist, including a daily sketchbook practice which he started at the age of nine. In his current
practice, Arsham similarly uses drawing as a space of boundless creativity where he conjures
ideas for large-scale installations and the implementation of new materials. As Arsham's career
has taken him across the globe, he began to incorporate the hotel stationary from his travels
within his everyday sketching practice. Especially interested in working on letterhead from historic
hotels, the artist composes his ideas, usually with an image and text, juxtaposing past and
present, a theme echoed within his practice. This volume contains 100 of Arsham's Hotel
Sketches, which serve as a physical archive of Arsham's travel as well as the transformation of
his style and mark-making over time.

Luca Monterastelli - Pardon Façade

Lenz 2023 ISBN 9791280579331 Acqn 33828
Luca Monterastelli (b. 1983) develops an entirely individual, contemporary, sculptural vocabulary.
His sculptures often consist of vertical, vaguely anthropomorphic forms, which create formal
paradoxes that encourage the viewer to explore the work from up close. Pardon Facade
documents the artistic output of Monterastelli, showcasing almost all of the sculptures and
installations that he produced between 2011 and 2022. With four chapters corresponding to four
solo shows that he staged in Milan, Otegem, Antwerp and Naples, the architecture of the book is
structured around the photographic documentation of these exhibitions, each introduced with a
text written by the artist for the occasion.

Katrin Hotz – enough

Vexer Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783907112526 Acqn 33749
The monograph enough by Katrin Hotz (*1976 in Glarus, Switzerland) brings together pieces from
the eponymous group of works created between 2013-2022. These large-scale works are made
of paper and always refer to the specific wall or room where they are installed. Hotz works with
(paints, folds and crumples) the paper to give it sculptural qualities and form three-dimensional
landscapes. In doing so, chance plays a big role, as does the impression of imperfection. The
book documents these ephemeral site-specific installations. It is supplemented by texts and
illustrations of Hotz's working process, to provide a deeper insight into her working method. The
design concept uses different papers as a reference to the artist's experimental handling of paper.
This in turns makes the monograph a haptically appealing object.

Drift - Art and Dark Matter

K. Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783947858149 Acqn 33753
What do we desire from the imperceptible? Four artists were invited to travel deep underground
to SNOLAB to think with dark matter, an invisible matter that is having a gravitational effect on
everything. Without this "dark" matter, galaxies would fly apart, according to observational data in
astroparticle physics. Given the contours of such a "known unknown," Nadia Lichtig, Josefa
Ntjam, Anne Riley, and Jol Thoms reflect on the how and why of physics and art as interrelating
practices. The artists' widely varied and challenging responses include expressions of new kinds
of sensitivity and poetic freedom, questions about the task of knowledge, and cartographies of
entangled social and ecological relations.

Reto Weber Drummin'

Edition Clandestin 2023 ISBN 9783907262412 Acqn 33754
Marking his 70th birthday, Swiss percussionist Reto Weber takes a look back at a career
spanning five decades. Featuring more than 300 photographs and images of memorabilia and a
foreword by prominent contemporaries, this retrospective volume also offers accounts of
important events and anecdotes from Weber's life as a musician in his own words. In addition, a
biographical outline, complete discography, and an artistic intervention by the artist couple M.S.
Bastian and Isabelle L. complete the textual and visual part of the book. Weber, who began
drumming at age fourteen and went on to join various beat, blues, and jazz formations, studied
contemporary percussion in Basel.

Re: Natur
Edition Clandestin 2023 ISBN 9783907262429 Acqn 33755
'Re:Natur' is an interdisciplinary art project involving various artists, cultural workers, and
scientists from Switzerland and Germany. Their contributions combine to form a kind of mycelium,
or the entirety of the root-like structure of a fungus. In everyday language, only the fruiting body is
referred to as a "mushroom". But the actual fungus is this subterranean network of cells. In this
project, a thought space with exchange potential is opened through photography, drawing,
painting, nature, and science. Its aim is the formation of an unplanned symbiosis of the various
disciplines (cultural anthropology, botany, microbiology, and fine arts) that address nature-human
encounters.

Formulating Fake Futures - The Tomorrow Through the Filters of a Computational Network
ArtEZ Press 2023 ISBN 9789491444999 Acqn 33757
Launching the series 'ArtEZ Press Essay Issues', this first instalment features feminist Nishant
Shah, who argues that the idea of a future in crisis and future as fake pervades almost all our
global and immediate dialogues. Whether it is climate change deniers, flat Earth advocates, anti-
vaxxers, incels, men's rights advocates, neo-Nazi supporters, or fascist states eroding
democracy, these two aspects link them all together. However, if fake is not an absolute category
and not an inquiry into the ontology of things, then perhaps we need to ask new kinds of
questions, shifting our focus from whether things are fake or not to the ways in which we make
space for various types of fake dogma.

Luca Boffi (Alberonero) - Caro Campo: Diario di Lavoro / Workbook

Viaindustriae 2023 ISBN 9788897753971 Acqn 33758
The editorial project 'Caro Campo: Workbook' stems from the artistic project lived by Alberonero
from 2019 to 2021 in Campogalliano (near Modena, Italy), where he existed in symbiosis with a
field of 290 poplars until they were cut down. For the duration of the "Campo" project, while
immersed in the trees and nature, Alberonero augmented the natural and seasonal changes by
transforming portions of the field through the creation of 20 temporary artworks. At once a human,
artistic, and environmental experience, the book retraces this story by means of photographs,
flashes, and brief notes, its movements meant both as a poetic experience and as a diary of
work.

Enough - Artists and writers on gendered violence

Perimeter Editions 2023 ISBN 9781922545169 Acqn 33766
This publication was conceived on March 15, 2021, when more than one hundred thousand
people marched across Australia in a series of March 4 Justice protests calling for gender
equality and justice for victims of sexual assault. While these protests were motivated by anger at
the lack of response by the Australian federal government to current and historic rape allegations,
they were part a larger global movement that was gathering momentum. Edited by Vikki McInnes,
'Enough: Artists and writers on gendered violence' comprises creative responses to the issues
highlighted in these protests. Responses are subjective, poetic, cathartic, and as fiercely political
and deeply personal as the issues they address.

Jenny Grettve - Abody Abode

Grettve Bennett Press 2022 ISBN 9789151990132 Acqn 33773
Swedish architect, artist, and systems change designer Jenny Grettve's 'Abody Abode' is a
chronicle of modern womanhood, a collection of stories that are both memories of emotions and
moments. It consists of numerous descriptive vignettes paired with architectural drawings that
represent the spaces inside individuals. We are encouraged to consider how we as people
construct them, move through them, and allow them to protect us. Grettve's multidisciplinary
practice focuses on care, feminism, and futures, and the ways these move creative fields like
philosophy, shared spaces, rethinking object design, art installations, economic futures, and
urban architecture.

Anouk Kruithof - Universal Tongue

Anouk Kruithof 2022 ISBN 9789493146686 Acqn 33820
Universal Tongue celebrates the great diversity of the global dance kaleidoscope in the era of the
Internet. It was born from visual artist Anouk Kruithof's fascination with dance videos distributed
online as a representation of self-expression, cultural identity, empowerment and fun. In
collaboration with a team of 50 researchers from across the globe, she sourced over 8800 dance
videos online, which were edited down to a 1000 unique dance styles that she blended into a
dynamic 8 channel video installation with a four hour duration, accompanied by a unifying
soundtrack. The researchers provided a short text for each dance style presented in their found
videos. These 1000 edited texts combined with screenshots taken from the videos introduce the
origin, background and meaning of the dance styles.

Nomata Minoru – Continuum

Lim Art 2023 ISBN 9784991313806 Acqn 33823
Over the past four decades, Minoru Nomata has developed a lexicon of imaginary architectonic
and topographical forms to create paintings that transcend specifics of time and place. This book
presents a grand overview of his visionary works, which combine the familiar with the mysterious
and the heroic with the haunting. It is especially the forms of construction - structural beams,
frameworks, tarpaulins, and netting - that are the hallmarks of these fantastical architectures.
Notions of the picturesque and sublime combine in Nomata's later paintings, where the structures
seem increasingly fragile, with reduced material volume, greater height, or wrapped in tendril-like
scaffolding.

The Polder Western

Building Fictions 2023 ISBN 9789082771251 Acqn 33825
Pb 11x18cm 184pp ills £16.50
Pilar Mata Dupont and Erika Roux share an interest in the cinematic tropes of the Western genre,
within which they have found a playful and relevant language to reflect on different political
perspectives and forms of relating to territory, nature, and community. Scenes From The Polder
Western is part of a long-term project situated in the Netherlands, a country where the two artists
have lived for many years. In fostering a transdisciplinary approach to their site and text-driven
research, they additionally met and interviewed multiple people working with and by the water in
the Netherlands - professionals ranging from sea-level researchers, millers, hydraulic engineers,
artists, and farmers - and translated those explorations into the screenplay presented in this
publication. In the interweaving storylines, traditional understandings of borders and forms of
sentience are challenged as well as the archetypal setting for the Western film itself, resulting in a
new, blurry frontier.

Matts Leiderstam - Seen Through the Grid

Art And Theory Publishing 2023 ISBN 33843
Matts Leiderstam's (b. 1956) art and researched-based work is closely related to the history of
painting. He is systematically looking for alternative, queer, narratives relating to viewing a
painting. Leiderstam explores the grid as a tool for the composition of images, which was
developed during the Italian Renaissance. The grid has been central to image-making ever since,
including for photography, and not least for computer-generated images in a contemporary
context where we are continuously connected to a global data network via our screens.
Leiderstam's ideas/reflections and examination of the grid and its relation to the gaze is also a
research project. The new book, Seen Through the Grid, marks the end of the project and
includes a foreword and a text by Matts Leiderstam, a text by curator, writer and museum director
Maria Lind as well as a conversation between Matts Leiderstam and Maria Lind. The book's
layout and design result from a close collaboration between graphic designer Patrick Lacey,
photographer Svante Larsson and Matts Leiderstam.
