Luc Tuymans - Wenn Der Fruehling Kommt. Haus Der KunstLudion 2014 ISBN 9789491819032 Acqn 2385Hb 45x35cm 88pp 100col ills 137
This volume documents a solo exhibition at the Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2008 by LucTuymans (born 1958). While the retrospective assembled 90 representative works from the last30 years of the artist's career, the strength of the exhibition lay not only in the art displayed, butalso in the location: the Haus der Kunst, built on Hitler's orders in 1933, was used to exhibitGerman art "by and for the people" and quickly became a center of cultural propaganda for the
Nazi regime. In this space,Tuymans' works, often concerned with power relations and twentieth-century history, were grouped into "islands of meaning" to create a narrative that would resonatewith the museum, and Tuymans further conceived of a site-specific mural. In this volume,Tuymans himself guides the reader through the exhibition and offers new perspective on hisworks' relations both to each other and to the installation space. The book includes an ex-librisbookplate signed by Tuymans. Limited quantity available.

As varied as Tobias Kbschs pictorial and sculptural works appear to be, thematically they arealways the sameobservations and mechanisms, the entanglement of media and reality inpresent day life and the resulting questions on the core components of todays identity and globalconfidence. At first glance, his works seem like the Grand Masters of disaster. However, thevisual appeal of the depicted naturally induced or artificially generated spectacles serve well toexpose the mythological core of the current human existence. Fear and terror are keyfundamental experiences of human existence. Their aesthetic structures are deconstructed in theworks of Tobias Kbsch.

Anthony McCall (London 1946) is seen as one of the main representatives of the avant-gardemovements in the visual arts and the cinema of the 1970s. McCalls work explores the mostfundamental elements of cinema: light and projection. Since the early 1970s, he has produced aremarkable body of work ranging from drawings to performance art and large-scale light
projection installations or solid light films. McCalls solid light films inhabit the twilight zonebetween film and the visual arts, a key focal area of EYEs exhibition policy. These sculptural lightprojections are at once minimalist in form and magical in effect, theoretical in essence andvisceral when experienced.

Finally Without Endfeatures Ilit Azoulays meticulously composed photographs, and includeswork from the series Implicit Manifestations, created during a six-month residency at the KWInstitute for Contemporary Art in Berlin. Concerned with the unacknowledged scraps and remainsof the everydayfrom architectural debris to spools of threadher photographs capture theambiguity of objects detached from their original purpose. Presented in new symmetricalconfigurations, her images speak to the memory-work attributed to things and our unreliablecataloguing of knowledge through them.In addition to her photographs, this publication offers a variety of perspectives on Azoulayspractice. Sarit Shapira describes the artists 2008 series Unknown Aspects as an elevation ofcultural debris to the level of representation, while Michal Ben-Naftali offers a psychoanalytic
reading of Azoulays uncanny images. Shalom Shpilman explores the viewers participation in theartists visual realm of significance. Curators Aya Lurie (Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art,Israel) and Gabriele Horn (KW Berlin) meditate on two concurrent exhibitions of some of the workfeatured in this book. Azoulays photographs, as one essay describes, are events-in-progressforever unfolding and forestalling conclusion.

Besides numerous drawings, the book also offers a selection ofpaintings from recent decades, as well as a new series, Seven Stones. The drawings and olderworks give a clear indication of the path Zandvliet has followed since the 1990s in his search for
pure form and composition through an uncompromising approach to his work. With SevenStones, Zandvliet ventures into new territory where not only does he attempt to produce goodpaintings, but he also tries to fathom why specific forms have such a great impact on himpersonally.

Marc Nagtzaam - Not AvailableROMA Publications 2014 ISBN 9789491843235 Acqn 24334Pb 22x29cm 64pp 30ills 20
In this book, recent work by Marc Nagtzaam is shown together with installation views and someof his older drawings. As a result, the previous works can be viewed from the perspective of thenew, and vice versa. Nagtzaam sees exhibitions and books as single works. The samecompositional approach used when making the drawings is also reflected in the structure of thisbook. In this manner, Nagtzaam reveals the link between the hard-edge abstraction of thedrawings, which can be read as architectural plans, and his spatial installations in which theyfunction as elements in a larger composition, suggestive of an obscure organising principle.

Visual artist Jasper Krabb delves into the repositories of Amsterdams Tropenmuseum, wherehe becomes enchanted by the vibrancy and energy of the peculiar and mundane objectsencountered there, many previously unknown to him. At first glance, the objects seem unrelated,but Krabb applies his own associations and affinities, based on intuition, recognition, colour,
shape and material, to form new connections between them. In the process, a world of inspirationemerges, as the observer of the selection gathered in this book from magical Sumatran stavesto pre-Colombian textiles discovers kinship between the museums collection of objects and theartists own work.

Susanne Kriemann RayROMA Publications 2014 ISBN 9789491843198 Acqn 24333Pb 15x21cm 120pp 50ills 26
Susanne Kriemann examines a radioactive rock discovered in the Barringer Hill Mine in Llano,Texas, in the late 1800s. We see a photograph of a large rock (a single chunk of gadolinite), andthen another image of a wall of rocks, signalling the importance of the threshold to Kriemannswork. She focuses on the material and mystical limit of knowing and seeing on how a narrativeloops through archaeological layers without ever finding its source. Presently, the mine liesbeneath a lake; its mirrored surface resembles the photographic lens, but the eye, ours and therocks, exists on both sides. Can a rock convey history? What does it mean to document what
one cannot literally see?

In this book, his artistic development, working methods and
personal experiences are revisited in fascinating detail, based on those who knew him. The bookis written by journalist and documentary film researcher Sandra van Beek. Made with a grant fromthe Mondriaan Fund, it stems from research for the film Jan Schoonhoven, official 18977 (2005).

Foreword by Gerald Bast and Nicolaus Schafhausen; texts by Lucas Gehrmann and AlexandraGrimmer; interview by Nicolaus Schafhausen
A deserted campsite, a car with no one inside Is anybody home? What has happened here?Evolving from his graduation project at the University of Applied Arts Vienna entitled The CreatorHas a Master Plan, which was awarded the Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2014, Leander Schnwegerdeveloped an installation at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz that indicates mysteries, rather than offerssolutions. The fog disperses (as the title translates) into questions about theunusual exhibited situation rather than its origin. This is precisely what the artist may beconcerned with: leaving explainable things unexplained, or even obfuscating them. Furthermore,the exhibition raises questions about the power of knowledge, or the imbalance between controland controllability. Could the installation really just be the reproduction of a dream segment?Photographic fragments, preparatory notes, and recent sketches accompany installation viewsand texts in Die Nebel lichten sich.
