In The Words Of Sparks...Selected LyricsTam Tam Books 2013 ISBN 9780985272401 Acqn 22059Hb 14x21cm 182pp 5col ills 18.50

Sparks--the long-running duo of Ron and Russell Mael--are among the most respectedsongwriters of their generation, their songs ranking alongside those of Ray Davies (The Kinkshaving been a formative influence), George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim.Formed in Los Angeles in 1971, Sparks have issued over 20 albums and scored chart hits withsongs such as This Town Aint Big Enough for Both of Us, Cool Places and Never Turn YourBack on Mother Earth. While their musical style has changed dramatically over the course of 40years--embracing the British Invasion sound of the 60s, glam rock, disco (they teamed up withGiorgio Moroder for 1979s No. 1 in Heaven) and even techno--their work has consistentlystretched the boundaries of pop music and the song form. Sparks continue to break new ground:they are currently working on a project with filmmaker Guy Maddin and are soon to embark on aworld tour. Now, for the first time, the Mael brothers have chosen their favorite Sparks lyrics (tosome 75 songs), editing and correcting them for presentation in In the Words of Sparks . AsJames Greer--novelist and former member of Guided by Voices--comments, Sparks-levelwordplay is a gift, and more than that, an inspiration. This book also includes a substantialintroduction by fellow Los Angeles resident and longtime fan, Morrissey.

Betsy EbyMarquand Books Inc. 2013 ISBN 9780988227569 Acqn 22608

Hb 31x26cm 152pp 78col ills 29.50

The encaustic paintings of Betsy Eby (born 1967) are contemporary examples of a tradition ofpainting descended from Romanticism, a tradition that insists that a work of art is both an outwardexpression and an inner exploration. My paintings are inspired by patterns found in nature--whirling leaves, buzzing insect wings, birds in migratory flight--all combined in gestural rhythms,like the classical music that I practice, she states, citing among her predecessors painters suchas Cy Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Petah Coyne, Brice Marden, Anselm Kiefer and Corot. Herpassionate insistence that emotion can be the beginning and the end of a work of art places herwork firmly within the romantic, but also in opposition to the market-driven, media-conscious art ofour time. This monograph accompanies Ebys traveling museum exhibition Painting with Fire .

In Search Of EuropeJap Sam 2013 ISBN 9789490322434 Acqn 23074Pb 17x25cm 186pp 70ills 50col 21

Can we talk about Europe without being Eurocentric? How can we meet on equal footing in anunequal world? These were questions that emerged from a research project and an experimentof artists and researchers working together towards an art exhibition in Kunstraum

Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin in 2013. This group of artists and researchers set out on a journeyon which they - together and collaboratively - tried to Search for Europe. Europe long time agothe metaphor for one's own dreams, the paradise for many in their imagination but also the hell ofreality for some. With an eye on creativity, political ideologies, traveling, and migration and with arange of research locations from West Africa, the Middle East, and Western Europe to Southeast

Africa and the Balkans, the participants set out to understand how people remember the past,strive for a better future, or think about alternatives in an entangled world. In the course of theexhibition project, seven research-art collaborations evolved and developed these themes intoartistic positions. In this book, the researchers, artists, and guest authors document and reflectabout the process that resulted in the ISOE exhibition through essays, artwork produced for theexhibition and documentary imagery. The experience of these co-operations/collaborations tellsabout the dynamics, possibilities, and limitations of academic-artistic co-working practice ingeneral. Rather than providing definite answers, the coming together of research and art createsa third space of openings and experimental formats of reflection and engagement where theworld can be conceived in new and different ways.

Eduardo Paolozzi atNew Worlds examines the magazine during its prime period in the late 1960s, placing Paolozzisscience-fiction art in the context of the new SF and offers fresh insights into the images and afragmentary, collaged approach to writing informed the controversial prose of Ballard, Moorcock,Brian Aldiss, Norman Spinrad and others.

Cecily BrownGagosian Gallery (NY) 2013 ISBN 9781935263869 Acqn 22873

Hb 27x27cm 90pp 50ills 48col 65Presenting a world that pulses with excesses and appetites, Cecily Brown explores the breadth ofhuman experience in tactile oil paintings. Broadly inspired by the history of paintingfromRubens and Veronese to the muscular expressionism of Willem de KooningBrowns personalvision transcends classical notions of genre and narrative, freeing subject matter from its originalcontext and positioning it within a new aesthetic reality. In this exhibition Brown continues toexplore the tradition of the nude ensemble in painting. In her visible grapple with formal concerns,she crowds each canvas with stylistically diverse anonymous figuressome loosely suggested,others identifiably expressivewho fulfill her explicit aim of conveying figurative imagery in a just-elusive shorthand, resulting in encounters with subjects glimpsed, rather than fully seen. Therelative clarity of some faces encourages the viewer to perceptually finish other, less definedfigures, to resolve the gestural abbreviations. Each painting reveals an active present state,unfolding in a succession of deliberately fluid unresolved moments over time. With an essay byJames Lawrence.

Roy Lichtenstein - ExpressionismGagosian Gallery (NY) 2013 ISBN 9781935263845 Acqn 22874Hb 31x31cm 130pp 95ills 75col 97.50

Lichtenstein's early appropriation of the aesthetics of American popular culture made him integralto the development of Pop art. Turning his attention to art history, he began exploring classicalarchitectural motifs. Beginning in the late 1960s, defining elements of Futurism--followed byCubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism--featured regularly in his work. Among the styles andmovements appropriated by Lichtenstein, his borrowing of Expressionist motifsfrom AlexeiJawlensky's close-up, pensive faces to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's jagged, feline figuresstrikes theclearest irony. Including key paintings, sculpture, drawings, and woodcuts, this exhibitiondemonstrates the bold paradox that Lichtenstein posed by translating Expressionist subjects intothe primary colours and pop flatness of his signature style.

Mardens early monochromatic paintings exist as single panels, diptychs and triptychs.Restraining the gestural intensity of Colour Field painting through contemplative reserve andcalm, their inscrutable surfaces belie a nuanced equilibrium between emotive passion and formalrigor. In each of the Red Yellow Blue paintings (1974), Marden painted slabs of dense yetnuanced colour on three adjoined canvas panels, using oil paint mixed on the spot with meltedbeeswax and turpentine and applied with a knife and spatula. The dull sheen of the encausticmedium intensifies the bold, contrasting colour blocks, built up through the temperamentallayering process that yielded such intricately worked surfaces. The spirited variations within each

"primary" trio (where red can range from cadmium to almost black, yellow from ochre to saffron,and blue from cobalt to sullen indigo) are rich with interpretative possibilitylike musical chordsimprovised in major and minor keys.

Haim Steinbach TravelWhite Cube 2013 ISBN 9781906072834 Acqn 22978

Pb 13x20cm 125pp 78ills 76col 22.50Steinbach is interested in the shared social ritual of collecting, arranging and presenting everydayobjects and materials, an experience that on a basic level extends to us all, whether its throughthe way we arrange our homes or the way we select and wear our clothes. This exhibition iscomprised of two new series of works that continue that enquiry and trace a trajectory in theartists practice that stretches from the 1970s to today. In 1976, Steinbach produced a series ofworks based on grid-like geometric patterns created with strips of linoleum flooring. TheLinopanel works marked a pivotal moment in Steinbachs career when he abandoned hisinvestigation into minimalist painting and began to work with found objects. His use of linoleum,an everyday material that imitates more valuable floor covering, such as marble and tile,complicates the purist dictates of minimalism and introduces a domestic and social referent thatwas to become important to his subsequent work. For this exhibition, Steinbach has re-createdthe Linopanel works for the first time since the 1970s.
