Swiss duo Bastien Aubry and Dimitri Broquard are chiefly known for subjecting artisanal Swiss
ceramics to all manner of gestural "vandalism" and painterly "perversion". Working from their
studio on the outskirts of Zurich, the former graphic designers make sculptures that happily twist
and conflate traditional techniques to forge a kind of punk surrealism, with poetic accidents and
elegantly unwieldy forms butting heads in plain view. We can trace a similar line of thought
through the duo's new artist book 'L'aurore Samedi (The Aurora on Saturday)', a publication that
presents Aubry/Broquard's expanded painting practice.

In December 2015 notation became the focal point of a workshop presented at RMIT Design Hub
in Melbourne, entitled To Note: Notation Across Disciplines. It involved 25 practitioners working
in and across the disciplines of sound, dance, visual art, and architecture/design. Their lectures,
reprinted here in essay form, consider the wider significance, influence, and role of notation
across creative fields. Part reference, part exercise manual, this book, edited by Hannah
Mathews, is a collection of material that both informs and challenges our understanding of
notation and how it exists both historically and currently within and across various fields and
disciplines.

Curated by Post Brothers with Chris Fitzpatrick, the exhibition A rock that keeps tigers away at
Kunstverein Mnchen includes new and recent works by nine artists: Beth Collar, Tania Prez
Crdova, Jason Dodge, Simon Dybbroe Mller, Laura Kaminskait, Francesco Pedraglio, Adrien
Tirtiaux, Freek Wambacq, and Herwig Weiser. Both exhibition and book survey how artists
identify and consider the relation between causation and correlation in order to connect disparate
phenomena across time and space, how simple shifts in circumstances yield palpable results
elsewhere, and how the juxtaposition of objects modifies their individual meaning, utility, and
apprehension.

US-American artist Alex Da Corte creates videos, sculptures, paintings, and immersive
installations with a striking cinematic quality. The engagement with the complexity of human
experience is central to his work, for instance when he explores and exposes questions of desire,
sensuality, and alienation. The artist is interested in both the cultural and psychological qualities
that the everyday objects he manipulates and re-purposes possess, as well as in the suspense
they radiate making space for a state of deception and illusion. Exploring the formal potential of
artefacts of consumer culture, Da Corte twists their immediate affordance so they can unfold new
symbolic powernow as sculptural objects in his videos and installations, for example. Evidently,
colour and textures are used with great skill to affect viewers and the mood in which they
experience the artists environments once they set foot in them.
Slow Graffiti radiates softness, vulnerability, mutability, and transiencelike the verve of an
invisible city, one that exists only in someones imagination but that takes shape here. Against the
backdrop of todays accelerated digital world, the exercised care and communal spirit of making
can be considered a radical act of transgression.
Alex Da Cortes artists book comprises two volumes: a conversation between the artist and the
Los Angeles based writer and critic Bruce Hainley, and Sorcery, a photographic comic strip by
New York based curator and writer Bob Nickas utilising source imagery chosen by Alex Da Corte.

Tension Building (2016) as well as drawings.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Ericka Beckman has designed an artists book that contains
comprehensive documentation of her drawings and paintings related to the films from 1980 to
1999.

What roles do gender and other factors play in the reception of art and its production? How does
the chromosome of art make its presence felt? Some works explicitly portray gender and its
associated roles, and take a playful approach to these ascriptions. Others are more associative in
their approach to the complex subject. An interest in physicality and identities is consistently
present.
This book accompanies the exhibition and extends beyond it at the same time. It refers to the
artistic-sociological, historical and media discourses related to the subject, and is therefore not an
exhaustive documentation of the exhibited works, but rather establishes a dialogue with them as
text and image components.
The project is a collaboration with curator Alex de Vries and artists from Holland.

The threshing of tensions between lineages, aesthetics, references, techniques, and their various
counterpoints is at the core of arts continual re-imagining and manifestation. During a career that
has spanned the last decade, Emily Ferretti has pieced together a convincing painterly
vocabulary, only to gently rephrase and remould it, time and time again. 'Walking in Both
Directions' arrives at a pivotal time for the artist. Bookending a residency in New York, the
paintings, drawings and installation that feature in this book not only explore her works
increasingly abstract, complex and faceted terrains, but her growing fascination for the aesthetic,
compositional, and philosophical underpinnings of American folk art.

Taking the major 2012 work 'S-O-M-E-O-N-E' as both its title piece and a point of embarkation,
this book offers the first substantial overview of the recent practice of Australian artist Laith
McGregor. The book assumes the similarly rigorous and rambling quality that has come to
characterise McGregors scroll-like drawings, idiosyncratic sculptures, and painted gestures,
honing its focus on a selection of key works created during the last five years. Made in close
collaboration with the artist, it offers an at once critical and playful expression of a practice that is
psychic, layered, and highly personal in its scope.

Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker, and painter Tadanori Yokoo achieved
international recognition for his work during the 1960s. His great interest in psychedelia,
mysticism, and the pop culture of the time led him to produce brightly coloured, intensely
autobiographical works using complex, multi-layered imagery, but also posters for events by
leading figures of the counterculture movement in Japan, like Tatsumi Hijikata, Juro Kara, and
Shuji Terayama, that reflect a keen painterly expression. A retrospective look at Yokoos vibrant
oeuvre, this book features more than 250 works, including prints, posters, and paintings, from the
late 1960s up to 1990.

Dedicated to Alex Israel, a multimedia artist whose work takes the city of Los Angeles as both
iconographic source and main subject, this richly illustrated monograph offers a chronological
overview of the artists variegated projects, from paintings, sculptures, and webseries, to
flashmobs, an eyewear brand, and more. Each is introduced by a short text written by Israel.
Mining the food chain of showbiz and celebrity culture while embracing clichs, the artist
interrogates and confounds the fine line between talent and raw material, reframing manufactured
items whose formal and auratic properties are often overlooked. For Israel, the American dream
remains a potent force.

Light, perception, and how we choose to interpret the outside world is a recurring theme in
Katarina Lfstrm's videos, three-dimensional works, and installations, and many examples
feature in this extensive monograph. In her body of work, she examines visual arts inherent
ability to break loose from traditional behavioural patterns and rational thinking, creating meaning
without the use of language or text. The result often imparts a calmness that barely obscures the
brooding desires and traumas underneath, the immobilised curiosity. Dots and circles are
recurring figures in her work, indicative of blurring, a shift or alteration of focus, the displacement
in our visual world.

Haypeter has, since the 1980s, explored geometric form in discreet works made from resin,
wood, PVC and paper. Engaging with the purely abstract paintings of twentieth-century
Modernism, Haypeters work succeeds in uniting the theories of abstraction with the aesthetic of
mass production.
Works in this exhibition include wall-based, three-dimensional resin works through which acrylic
paint is frozen in horizontal and vertical lines. Dominant is Haypeters trademark yellow, however
we also see bright blues and muted greys. The precise nature of the works is deceiving: all are
handmade in Haypeters studio in Germany and the touch of the human hand can be made out
on closer inspection whilst uncontrolled bubbles appear in the poured resin.

On the afternoon of August 28th, 1909, Sigmund Freud visited Coney Islands famous Dreamland
amusement park. A hundred years later, this lively, imaginative book examines his legacy in
Coney Island, a history which might have been. It begins with Norman Kleins reconstruction of
his actual visit, though Freuds real impact appears to have come later, with the founding of the
Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society. Zoe Beloff conjures up the world of this unique
Society, which would have existed from 1926 through the early 1970s, exploring its activities
(which included recreating dreams on film) and discussing its visionary founder, Albert Grass,
who attempted to rebuild Dreamland according to Freuds theory of dream formation. Aaron
Beebe, former director of the Coney Island Museum, describes how this institution is reviving the
idea of the living museum. Amy Herzog discusses how Freuds theories provide a deeper
understanding of the publics fascination with Coney Islands attractions. The book is illustrated
with previously unseen photographs, drawings and documents.

Hb 208pp 110ills 100col 43.95
American painter Joe Bradley has distinguished himself among the artists of his generation with
his mutable approach to art-making. With minimal fuss, Bradley works in series, picking up and
discarding styles and oscillating between abstraction and figuration as it suits him. A
retrospective of his work would look like a group show, wrote dealer and collector Kenny
Schachter. Bradleys first large-scale North American exhibition supports this observation: he is
shown moving from expressionistic canvases that record the detritus and spontaneity of the
studio environment to subtly figurative send-ups of Minimalist painting, then to starkly primitivistic
glyphs drawn in grease pencil on unprimed canvas, followed by modular aluminium sculptures
paired with textual directives.
This richly illustrated catalogue, published to accompany Bradleys midcareer survey organized
by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, presents the full range of Bradleys unique approach
to language, abstraction and the evolutions of style. Joe Bradley includes reproductions of all
works in the exhibitionsome 30 paintings, 8 sculptures and 30 drawingsas well as an
introductory essay by exhibition organizer Cathleen Chaffee, new scholarly essays, an interview
with the artist and an exhibition history.

In 1968 at age 49, the painter Maria Lassnig (19192014) moved from her residence in Paris to
New York City to be in, as she called it, the country of strong women. Although well known in
her native Austria, Lassnig was virtually unheard of in the States and for the next 12 years she
lived in relative anonymity, renting walk-ups in the Lower East Side and SoHo. New York offered
Lassnig a liberation of sorts from the male-dominated art scene of Europe: it gave her the
opportunity to be an artist, not simply a female artist.
This book brings together works and archival material from her time in New York from 1968 to
1980, including films that Lassnig created in collaboration with the Women/Artists/Filmmakers,
Inc. group.
