Do It: The Compendium - $445

22 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Do It began in Paris in 1993 as a conversation between the artists Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier and Obrist himself, who was experimenting with how exhibition formats could be rendered more flexible and open-ended. The discussion led to the question of whether a show could take “scores” or written instructions by artists as a point of departure, which could be interpreted anew each time they were enacted. To test the idea, Obrist invited 13 artists to […]

 Esopus 17

Esopus 17 - $295

30 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Twice-yearly Esopus features contributions from a cross-section of creative disciplines presented with minimal editorial “framing” and no advertising. Each issue includes three contemporary artists‘ projects–one by an established artist (past contributors have included Richard Tuttle, Jenny Holzer and Robert Therrien) and two by emerging figures. Previous projects have taken the form of removable posters, fold-outs and hand-assembled sculptures, and have often utilized complex printing processes, unique paper stocks and special inks. Along with a sampling of short plays, visual essays, poetry and […]

more-than-human

More than Human - $895

15 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Just as did Flach’s highly acclaimed previous books, Equus and Dogs, More than Human will amaze and inspire, in a constant affirmation of the animal, whether it be rare or common, powerful or defenseless, odd or majestic. The book showcases a menagerie of creatures—pandas, tigers, bats, lions, orangutans, cobras, bullfrogs, chimpanzees, wolves, porcupines, elephants, owls, armadillos, among many others—as they have never been seen before. Shedding light on Flach’s images will be an accessible collection of texts, written and edited by author Lewis Blackwell.Praise for More […]

Gustav Klimt- The Complete Paintings

Gustav Klimt: The Complete Paintings - $2,745

15 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Gustav Klimt: The Complete Paintings. An unparalleled work of Klimt scholarship that revisits his work in the context of his contemporaries When a painting by Gustav Klimt was sold at auction in 2006 for a reported 135 million dollars, Klimt fervor reached a pitch that many observers saw as a climax and perhaps even as a swan song. Not for the first time, they were wrong: long after that headline sale, Klimt remains very much a focus of attention. The countless events […]

Ai Weiwei: According to What? - $545

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  A leading figure among Chinese artists of his generation, Ai Weiwei creates art that poses fundamental questions about the ways in which art and culture interrelate with society and how society interrelates with individual existence.

Sleepwalkers- A Future Time Capsule

Sleepwalkers: A Future Time Capsule – $2,745

11 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  During the past decade, Los Angeles-based artist Doug Aitken has created innovative video art by fracturing the narrative structures of his films across multi-screen environments. In the spring of 2007, Doug Aitken: Sleepwalkers premiered as a monumental outdoor video projection onto seven facades of the Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan. The silent story, told with exquisite imagery, chronicles the lives of five charactersas they move through New York City. Sleepwalkers features a diverse cast of actors, including Academy Award-winner Tilda Swinton […]

Community Art- The Politics of Trespassing

Community Art: The Politics of Trespassing – $450

19 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Italian philosopher Antonio Negri has declared that “Every kind of change belongs to a form of community art,” inverting the convention that community art can be an integral component of social change and extending the rubric of art to propose a commons of all those striving to effect change in social, economic, technological and ecological arenas. So how do these endeavors influence and act upon one another? In Community Art, artists and theorists Tilde Björfors, Bertus Borgers, Paul De Bruyne, […]

Savoring Disgust

Savoring Disgust: The Foul and the Fair in Aesthetics – $495

4 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Disgust is among the strongest of aversions, characterized by involuntary physical recoil and even nausea. Yet paradoxically, disgusting objects can sometimes exert a grisly allure, and this emotion can constitute a positive, appreciative aesthetic response when exploited by works of art — a phenomenon labelled here “aesthetic disgust.” While the reactive, visceral quality of disgust contributes to its misleading reputation as a relatively “primitive” response mechanism, it is this feature that also gives it a particular aesthetic power when […]

Poemotion 2

Poemotion – $635

2 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Poemotion is an interactive book-object. The abstract graphical patterns in this small volume are set in motion as soon as you move the attached special foil across them: moiré effects allow complex forms to develop, set circles in motion and make graphical patterns vibrate. Inspired by Seesaw, an earlier book from the publisher, in a playful and at the same time minimalist way the Japanese designer Takahiro Kurashima establishes a link to the motif of a “School of Seeing” […]

Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia?

Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia? – $595

2 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia? is a reader that brings together essays, artists’ writings and works, and countercultural publications to examine the juncture of the political and the erotic during the 1960s and 70s. Adopting as its starting point the postwar perception of Scandinavia as a socialist utopia of sexual freedom, it explores how the avant-garde artistic and cultural production of the time gravitated towards sexual and political liberation. Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia? is the conclusion of a four-year research […]

All That Is Solid Melts Into Air

All That Is Solid Melts Into Air – $245

2 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Marshall Berman’s “All That Is Solid Melts Into Air” is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest books on modernity. A kaleidoscopic journey into the experiences of modernization, the dizzying social changes that swept millions of people into the capitalist world, it dexterously interweaves an exploration of modernism in art, literature, and architecture.
