"Described as a "world atlas against disappearance," this artist's book from Cyprien Gaillard (born 1980) presents 900 Polaroid photos, arranged into diamond-shaped grids, of architectural dilapidation, from ancient times to the present. Approaching the world as an archeological dig, Gaillard unites form with content by using an analogously outmoded instrument--the Polaroid--to depict these ruined or about-to-be ruined buildings."
"Dutch artist Marc Bijl shifts as effortlessly between anarchism, gothic culture, art and life as he does between the media of image, text and music. Echoes of Marcel Broodthaers and Joseph Beuys abound."
"Beninese artist Meschac Gaba (born 1961) explores the intersection of African culture and the western conception of the museum through his installations and performances. In 1997, he began presenting "independent rooms" from his invented, nomadic Museum of Contemporary African Art. A comment on the lack of comparable institutions in his native Africa, the Museum reached completion in 2002."

"One of the most striking and remarked-upon pieces at the 2006 Day For Night Whitney Biennial was Urs Fisher's, and the curators gave it pride of place: on entry, the first walls that viewers encountered had been torn open. Those new gallery entrances led through to an outsized candelabra, composed of two detailed aluminum tree-branches suspended parallel to the floor, each with a lit candle at one end, spinning in slow motion and creati ..."
"The sculptures of Mexican artist Teresa Margolles (born 1963) superficially evoke the cool neutrality of minimalist art, but turn out to be deeply freighted with political content. Her Spartan sculptures, often connoting medical conditions, explore the chaos of her country’s drug wars and point to a more general tabooing of death and violence. This volume looks at her recent works."
"This publication presents an overview of the work of the Swiss artist duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann (L/B), who have been collaborating since 1993 and have regularly exhibited in biennials, museums and art venues around the world. Their work can be described as riding on the edge of art, architecture and design. Designed by the Zurich-based design firm Norm, this volume divides L/B's work into seven thematic groups by chapter: Mobil ..."

"Georgian artist Andro Wekua (born 1977) merges images found in magazines or old photo albums with painting to create multilayered, kaleidoscopic collages. The design for this three-volume catalogue is based on American horror and science-fiction magazines, reflecting recent themes developing in the artist's video and installation work."
"Monica Bonvicini’s work conducts a continual dialogue between bodies and architecture. Frequently, Bonvicini eroticizes and/or psychologizes this relationship, through sculptures, installations and video works in which people are seen plunging their bodies into walls as if passing through them, or rubbing their genitals on the corners of a wall. The props of sadomasochism are often invoked, in a mattress made of black leather belts and ..."
"Marina Abramovic: Writings 1960–2014 compiles the artist's colossal archive of handwritten and typed notes, diary entries, poems, accounts of dreams, travel descriptions, letters, performance instructions, stories, concepts and various collections of documents―all of these disparate materials have been collated, catalogued and contextualized for the first time in this publication. Known primarily for her radical performances and for rea ..."
"Kosovan artist Petrit Halilaj (born 1986) creates sculptural installations relating to the Kosovo War of 1998-99 and attendant themes of displacement and home. This volume surveys his highly autobiographical works."

"The rising Dutch artist Erik van Lieshout, temporarily based in Los Angeles while he sets up for bicoastal American museum debuts at the Hammer in Los Angeles and at Mass MoCA, in North Adams, Massachusetts, works with video installation, painting and drawing to analyze our daily reality in currently confusing times. In a dizzying game of political correctness versus incorrectness, he provides razor-sharp comments on sociocultural truth ..."
"Conceptual French artist Saadane Afif (b. 1970), noted within the international art scene, adapts the art of commission as a key strategy in producing, mediating and expanding art. When Afif was awarded the prestigious Gunther-Peill Prize, he traveled to the town Duren, in North Rhine-Westphalia, using its location to reflect on the idea of 'Here' (Ici) and 'There' (La-bas). He brought the town's train station lights, loudspeakers and p ..."
"Presenting contributions by artists such as Jean-Marie Appriou, Isabelle Cornaro, Olafur Eliasson, Fischli/Weiss, HR Giger, John Giorno, Nic Hess, Matt Mullican and Alex Sadkowsky, the festival and book New North Zurich explores the condition of 21st-century cities, and the way contemporary art could “inhabit” them."
"Description: We Are the World--the Dutch pavilion for the latest Venice Biennale, not the 80s international rock charity event--focuses on our contemporary multicultural reality, international developments in art and the biennial's theme of Dreams and Conflicts. A world-weighty mass of topics, surely, but one which curator Rein Wolf locates in the work of Carlos Amorales, Alicia Framis, Meschac Gaba, Jeanne van Heeswijk and Erik van Lie ..."
