    Talking Contemporary CuratingIndependent Curators Inc. 2015 ISBN 9780916365905 Acqn 25233Pb 14x20cm 304pp £15

    Since the publication ofThinking Contemporary Curating in 2012, art historian Terry Smith hascontinued his travels through the globalizing art world, talking to curators. The dozen searchingconversations in this book--with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Claire Bishop, Zdenka Badovinac,Mami Kataoka, Mari Carmen Ramírez, Okwui Enwezor, Germano Celant, Jens Hoffmann, HansUlrich Obrist, Maria Lind, Zoe Butt and Boris Groys--provide a vivid sense of contemporarycuratorial thought at work. They show curators deeply immersed in thinking about the exigencies

    of practice, the contexts of exhibition-making, the platforms through which art may be madepublic, and about what their work can contribute toward understanding what it means to be alivetoday.

    Flaneur Issue 05 - Fokionos Negri, AthensEditions Messner 2015 ISBN 9783945918005 Acqn 25546Pb 21x34cm 152pp col ills £13.50

    Flaneur is a nomadic, independent magazine focussing on one street per issue. Following theoral history of the neighbourhood of Kypseli,the fifth issue of Flaneur Magazine finds itselfentangled in a story-heavy microcosm. Fokionos Negri, once a river, now a broad and green, two-sided boulevard becomes a stage of overlapping narratives where stories are told and retold. Ason every stage, the desire for the story is stronger than the need to subdue it to rigid logic. Themagazine emerses itself in these fragments until they become our very own memory.

    Chris Sharp - The Registry Of PromiseROMA Publications 2015 ISBN 9789491843495 Acqn 25698Pb 22x29cm 204pp 125ills 50col £27

    Over the course of approximately one year, ‘The Registry of Promise’ consisted of fourautonomous, interrelated exhibitions, which can be read as individual chapters in a book. In thisseries, Chris Sharp reflects on our increasingly fraught relationship with what the future may ormay not hold, and the work engages with and plays upon the various readings and mutability of“promise”, along with the inevitability of what may come, whether positive or negative. Suchpolyvalence is particularly topical, as we have shifted from the anthropocentric promise ofmodernity to a negative faith in the post-human. Richly illustrated with works and installationviews, texts and considerations.

    Unnoticed ArtJap Sam 2015 ISBN 9789080867505 Acqn 25709Hb 13x20cm 74pp £10.95

    In our present time, passing unnoticed is a very recognisable experience. Although the popularityof social media demonstrates our aim for a few minutes of fame, in fact it emphasises theimpossibility of this. We can share an experience with friends, with equal minds, but it will only be

    noticed by that limited group, undetected by the rest of the world.To pass unnoticed is the defining notion of the Unnoticed Art Festival. It embraces the fact thatgenuine engagement will be limited to a small group of those involved. I assume that, because ofnot being perceived by others, because of this public privacy, the performer will experience theconnection with the work and with the group more intense.The core of the book is the index and descriptions of 34 performance concepts carried out byvolunteers at the Unnoticed Art Festival in May 2014. Connected to the concepts are theexperiences and comments of the volunteers who have been executing the works. Within theframework of this festival we chose to document in the form of personal notes only. No photos ofvideos were taken, to avoid the special attention of passers-by.

    James Hugonin - Binary Rhythm. Paintings 2010-2015Ingleby Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780993155130 Acqn 25710Hb 22x27cm 88pp 37col ills £26

    This beautifully illustrated publication includes essays by Professor Michael Tooby and Iris Priestwhich explore Hugonin’s unique way of working and, in particular, his use of handwrittennotebooks; plotting the course of each painting, much like a musical score.James Hugonin’s exhibition at Ingleby Gallery will celebrate the completion of his Binary Rhythmsequence. Seven of the nine large paintings that Hugonin has made over the past six years willbe exhibited, all identically sized and each continuing the artist’s unique exploration of thedualities of order and chance within a very personal approach to abstract painting.Hugonin has been working in this way for the last thirty years and each new painting employs hisnow familiar language of tiny rectangular marks, applied in their thousands, colour by colour,within a grid onto a gessoed ground. Each work is painted over many months and evolvesgradually from the last with increasingly complex and surprising results.They are unlike any other paintings being made in the world today: owing something perhaps toSeurat’s pointillism or the early works of Agnes Martin, but with an optical charge that is entirelyindividual and an internally generated sense of pace that invites the eye gently into and acrossthe surface of the paint.

    Visual Cultures as OpportunitySternberg Press 2015 ISBN 9783956791000 Acqn 25757Pb 15x20cm 88pp 5ills £8.50

    Edited by Jorella Andrews

    Assemblies, gathering places, and agora-like situations have become popular sites forcontemporary art. At the heart of these arenas is the search for new ways to counter the crisis-ridden experience of homo economicus —the pervasive and alienating marketization of allaspects of our lives. A great deal of hope is being placed on the potential of social formationsenabled by new technologies of connectivity and exchange. Artists and cultural producers are atthe forefront of testing the viability of transgressive actions such as coworking, crowdfunding, and

    open-source provisions. At the same time, it is apparent that global capitalism is expanding intomultipolar constellations of top-down and bottom-up economic governance.

    In this volume, the fourth in the series Visual Cultures as..., Helge Mooshammer and PeterMörtenböck analyze the networked spaces of global informal markets, the cultural frontiers ofspeculative investments, and recent urban protests, and discuss crucial shifts in the process ofcollective articulation within today’s “crowd economy.”

    Jos de Gruyter (b. 1965, Geel, Belgium) and Harald Thys (b. 1966, Wilrijk, Belgium) have beenworking together since the 1980s. They first became video-makers and performers of playful,dystopian narratives. Now they work in various media, including sculpture and drawing, todescribe a feebly sensitised world where contemporary ideas of freedom and subjectivity arechimera, and objects often have as much life as humans.

    For their exhibition at Raven Row the artists have become watercolourists, assuming themuddled and suspect obsessions of imaginary weekend painters to make a vast series ofpictures. Numerous depictions of history culled from the internet stare blankly into a past which

    might now be useless. Deadpan images of the banal and fanciful hang evenly alongside thegrievous and tragic without expression, critique or apparent irony. In some, nostalgia orinnocence are dimly stirred and questioned. Cartoonish sculptural figures, weighty but thin likecardboard, stand alongside the watercolours as mute witnesses.

    Die Schmutzigen Puppen von Pommern (The Dirty Puppets of Pomerania) are the descendantsof an executioner family from Greifswald in the historical province of Pomerania. In the twelfthcentury, this family had monopolized the execution of death sentences against payment and themaintenance of the gallows fields located outside cities and villages. They amassed a fortune thatway. At the height of their power, the empire covered the whole region of Pomerania extendingfrom Greifswald to Stettin in present-day Poland. Given their strong hold on the judiciary, it oftenoccurred that corrupt judges who were under the influence of the family handed down deathsentences.

    After three generations, the empire suddenly and inexplicably collapsed. It is said that a frenziedexecutioner brought it to rack and ruin. The descendants went on to roam Pomerania and weremocked and taunted.Hundreds of years later, they are still around, resigned to their fate.

    The artist book Make Yourself Available is published on occasion of the solo exhibition of thesame title at Kunstverein Heidelberg (2013) and the solo exhibitionHe had a killer body and hewas an awesome dad but she was like I can’t do this at Kunstverein Langenhagen (2015).Each exhibition took a sculptural-installative approach to the space, in which the works – chiefly

    large-scale woodcuts – were presented as though in a stage set. Both exhibitions were based onthe artist’s self-inquiry regarding her political socialization in the 1980s in the rural south ofGermany, as well as the enduring influence of National Socialism on German society. Thequestion here concerns an individual psychological experience in the context of a historicalcoming to terms.Make Yourself Available , understood here as a call to get involved, to „make a difference“, is putin relation with the problem of the so called „Kriegsenkel“, the grandchildren of the WW2generation. In an interview with Berlin based psychotherapist and author Gabriele Baring Weisserasks about possible underlying causes for self-harming behaviour, as Baring suggests, in theform of unknown traumas of previous generations within the family system.The book design takes up the gesture of making oneself available inasmuch the dust jacket isthat of another book, borrowed from the private library of Weisser’s aunt Anneliese Weisser. Aspart of her exhibition at Kunstverein Heidelberg the artist included the entire library. A selection ofthese books, chosen to represent a moral-intellectual milieu the artist grew up with, frame theactual content of Make Yourself Available . In a similar gesture, the font is criss-crossed byanother font, taken from the dust jacket of an anniversary publication in honor of Willy Brandt’s75th birthday.Essays by Ilka Becker and Maria Muhle. Interview with Annette Weisser by Chris Kraus. Interviewwith Gabriele Baring by Annette Weisser. Introduction by Susanne Weiß (director HeidelbergerKunstverein) and Ursula Schöndeling (director Kunstverein Langenhagen).

    Jytte Hoy - Hello Everybody!The Green Box 2015 ISBN 9783941644809 Acqn 25619Pb 18x27cm 96pp 42ills 25col £21

    Hello Everybody! gets its title from a text piece by Jytte Høy. The book presents Høy’s latestworks from 2010 onward. During this time literature has played an increasingly prominent role inher sculpturally founded production. Høy’s sculptural approach to language is matched by herlinguistic approach to sculpture and the artists’ solidly sensual relationship with language and thebook format is expressed through different types of paper and printing techniques. Colour insertscontribute an extra dimension.8 text pieces from the series Words Found More Added have been separately printed and

    featured in the book as individual works: one page of the book, for each work.Høy works with connections in the world as well as in language. Her works often display a longaesthetic genealogy, in which an object or concept gives birth to the next. This book emphasizesHøy’s working methods by juxtaposing new sculptural works with older “reference”-works:Conceptual flashbacks to provide the viewer with a broader context for individual works and aninsight into the artists’ thought processes. The text pieces and the accompanying documentationof sculptural works and relevant exhibition contexts are supplemented by a text by Lotte Møller,investigating the special relationship between words and objects in Høy’s oeuvre for the first time.
