Anne Wenzel - Carte Blanche - Fuck the Dictator

nai010 publishers 2023 ISBN 9789462088269 Acqn 34109
Pb 21x29cm 120pp col ills £32

In February 2019 Deirdre Carasso, director of the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, invited the artist
Anne Wenzel to enter a boxing ring in the museum, pitting the autonomy of art against the power
of cultural institutions. Wenzel, who had never boxed before, accepted the challenge on the
condition that if she won, the museum would give her carte blanche. Wenzel won and took over
the museum with the aim of putting art centre stage. This book, which documents the carte
blanche episode, is both a manifesto for the autonomy of art and a reflection on the position of art
and artists in the current institutionalized art world. Along with essays and visual documentation
about the different aspects of the carte blanche episode, the book presents the body of work
produced and presented by Wenzel at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.

The Stonewall Nation

Torpedo 2023 ISBN 9788293104315 Acqn 34110
Pb 21x29cm 96pp col ills £22.50

The Stonewall Nation was to be a place where gay people could be free from all oppression-a city
"suitable for the Gay life-style and culture." This liberation project, however, was ultimately
shaped as a project of settler-colonialism: the Stonewall Nation was to be erected on Indigenous
lands, the territory of the Wasiw (Washoe) people. The colony was never realized, and the
Stonewall Nation now lives on only in the archives. Artist Sille Storihle first came across the story
of the Stonewall Nation during a visit to the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives in Los Angles
more than a decade ago. In 2014, they made an experimental short film about the project, which
has now been extended into a publication that shares materials from Storihle's artistic process as
well as the ONE Archives. Produced in connection with the Norwegian Queer Culture Year 2022,
The Stonewall Nation presents archival documents, artworks and a conversation between
Storihle and former ONE Archive curator David Evans Frantz, engaging and exposing
marginalized histories, the "thorns" in LGBTQ history and the dirtiness of the archive.

Lytle Shaw - The Mollino Set

Rollo Press 2024 ISBN 9783906213484 Acqn 34197
Pb 13x20cm 256pp ills £19

New York-based professor Lytle Shaw journeys to Italy in this adventurous exploration of the life
and work of architect, designer, and photographer Carlo Mollino (1905-1973). In 1933 the young
Mollino received a commission from Mussolini's regime for his first building: an administrative
centre in Piedmont. Later works include furniture and interior design, a book on photography, and
an asymmetrical car that raced at Le Mans in 1955. The book centres around Shaw's realisation
that this prolific talent's conflicted legacy offers a unique window on the role that post-war Italian
politics and culture played in the country's reimagining of itself as a victim, rather than a
proponent, of fascism.

Monk ABC
Lenka Lente 2023 ISBN 9791094601532 Acqn 34187
Pb 11x18cm 144pp ills £17.50

"Particular critical tradition turns its back on critical tradition. Jacques Ponzio's book is linked to a
galaxy where Heraclitus of Ephesus, Isidore Ducasse, Lichtenberg, Asger Jorn, the athletes of
the haiku, and some Zen masters are in a disorderly pile," writes Francois Billard in his preface.
Thus begins this intriguing collection of quotations from American jazz pianist and composer
Thelonious Monk (1917-1982). Organised like an alphabet book, more than 100 entries based on
the testimonies of the musicians and journalists who were in Monk's orbit comprise this revised
edition of the book, first published in 2017. Jacques Ponzio is a leading specialist on the works of
Monk.

Martin Huger – Mercurial

Building Fictions 2024 ISBN 9789083375601 Acqn 34206
Pb 21x32cm 160pp col ills £30.50

Together with pins, nails, tape, glue, and staples, it's often just simple magnets that have been
used to place objects in tension within the body of work presented here. Martin Huger's artistic
approach triggers our understanding of and relationship to the binary forces of attraction and
repulsion that appear to govern our lives. The constructions and images he confronts us with
reveal that analogous forces are at work in the constant pushing and pulling that reshapes a
metropolitan area as well as in the strategies of persuasion commonly used in advertising,
fashion and marketing. Hopping on a path made of invisible semantic associations, the artist has
consciously let one word or thought attract another. This process forms an eclectic narrative
around the notions of elevation, navigation and capital, as if they were bound together by a
magnetic field.

Sight Unseen - Visualising the Unseeable through Art and Science

Perimeter Editions 2023 ISBN 9781922545183 Acqn 34117
Pb 16x26cm 156pp col ills £37

At its most fundamental, the act of seeing is the sensory experience of detecting light. 'Sight
Unseen' positions the notion of sight to be so much more. The book considers phenomena in our
universe hidden from human sight, now made visible through the combined efforts of artists and
scientists. Collaborative, multidisciplinary and non-hierarchical in its scope, this group of essays
and images draws on Western and First Nations knowledge systems to ask readers to see
together; to see the togetherness often hidden from our gaze; and to strive to see an ecological
and cosmological entirety while acknowledging that we can only ever see a small portion of what
exists.

Juan Munoz - Everything I See Will Outlive Me

This Side Up 2023 ISBN 9788412604771 Acqn 34120
Pb 20x28cm 304pp col ills £44

The double retrospective project 'Everything I See Will Outlive me' (Alcala 31) and 'At the Violet
Hour' (Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo) commemorates what would have been the seventieth
birthday of Juan Munoz (b. 1952, Madrid; d. 2001, Ibiza), the Spanish artist who achieved the
greatest international reputation in recent decades, with a meteoric career that spanned from his
first exhibition in 1984 until his untimely death at the age of 48.From the mid-1980s, Juan Munoz
had sought to recover figuration in sculpture, but his unique theatrical approach and the
emotional relationship of the audience with his work would gradually lead him to erase the
distance between exhibition and reality. Suspended between two different centuries, Juan
Munoz's oeuvre rises like an outpost of the speculative turn that characterizes art in the
immediate present. This book - with essays by Gloria Moure and Manuel Segade, and which also
features the artist's own voice in a series of interviews - covers his entire career and includes
previously unpublished material - an early interview with Richard Serra and pages taken from the
notebooks he worked from - making it a valuable tool for future readings of his work.

In Pieces
Growing Pains 2023 ISBN 9789083363509 Acqn 34121
Hb 25x35cm 160pp col ills £48.50

'In Pieces' is a collection of works by five artists affected by the war in Ukraine. These works
speak to the multiplicities and contradictions of living in a shattered present. Sophia Bulgakova,
Lia Dostlieva, Ola Lanko, Katia Motyleva, and Kateryna Snizhko are makers of Ukrainian origin
who live and work in the Netherlands. Each artist developed new work specifically for this book.
Their projects were created with a child in mind; some directly address younger audiences or are
inspired by children, others draw on the artist's own experiences. The result is a fragmentary and
incomplete mosaic that can offer a deeper understanding of the war, beyond the headlines and
media images.

Penny Davenport - Naked Milky Way

Torch Press 2023 ISBN 9784907562465 Acqn 34135
Pb 18x26cm 96pp col ills £36

"The first thing that strikes most people when looking at Penny Davenport's works is a child-like
aesthetic, something akin to naivete. It's an effect that makes her images feel authentic and
approachable." This explanation, offered by Oscar Gilbert, director of OTP Copenhagen, in his
text accompanying this collection, guides us towards a better understanding of the characteristic
human-animal hybrid figures that are a recurring theme the artist's images. Although she is best
known for intricate and labour-intensive drawings that fill the paper with minutely detailed pen
strokes, in recent years Davenport has also developed a painting practice that extends her
interest in the enigmatic.

The City as Anthology - Movements at the Margins of Public Space

ArtEZ Press 2024 ISBN 9789491444906 Acqn 34201
Pb 14x24cm 192pp ills £21.50

This book is about bodies. Presenting the work of Dutch performance artist Mariken Overdijk, it
explores how bodies traverse the familiar surroundings of one's home or move along the familiar
routes of everyday life, but also the relation of bodies to public space. On another level, the book
also addresses how artistic research recounts the experiments and experiences, collections and
vistas gained by the researcher during the course of their work. It shows that any good (artistic)
research also creates futures. Overdijk makes clear that artworks are not singular events, but
each creates a possibility that, however minimal, changes lives forever. Foreword by Jeroen
Boomgaard.
