With CRY ME A RIVER, french artist Thomas Mailaender spotlights a disconcerting practice found on the Internet. This time it’s about net surfers publishing their own photographs of anthropomorphic cut onions showing grimacing or smilling faces. Offbeat tribute to his favourite mass media, this collection of smiley is also a simple and efficient ode to creativity, humour and amateur practices.

£27.00

Gems Survey is a book of memories: pinned to the bare field of each page, huddled in the corners like frightened animals, are small images of buildings, scraps of cities and shreds of skies, clippings of stars and far off galaxies. These are the places that Andro Wekua has traveled to, real and imaginary, environments that influence and make-up a large part of his oeuvre.

Published by: Arkitip

80 pages 16.5 x 24 cm Softcover with paintbrush 2014

£16.00

Using the theme of Color we have selected a group of artists to create whatever they wish using Comex supplied paint. Having grown dramatically from a collection of small family businesses to a major industrial corporation, The Comex Group produces paints and coatings customers count on for quality across North, Central and South America. Artists will use the magazine as a medium to give the viewer a closer look at their results. The selected artists will be encouraged to dig deeper into their process to showcase the inner workings of their creations. The culmination of these efforts has been published here in this hand numbered edition, neatly housed with a cobranded Comex + Arkitip paint brush. Along with the printed issue edition we have shot a series of Chronicles to document the artist's processes. To round out the project, the release will be celebrated with installations of the featured artists created works at Project Space, in Los Angeles.

Pierre Mérimée
Intifada Rap

Published by: LO/A Editions

250 pages 21.5 x 28 cm Softcover French/English 2014

£31.50

Through testimonies and photos gathered on their journey in November 2006, Pierre Mérimée and Jacques Denis draw the portrait of a post-Intifada generation, a generation raised after the Palestinian uprisings that shook the region in 1987 and 2000. We join them as they follow DAM, the rap group the journalists initially met in London and who sparked their desire to learn more. Tracing the movement, we meet MWR’s Mahmoud Shalabi, the girls of Arapyot, and the “veterans” on the scene, including Said Mourad, the voice of the first Intifada. Palestinians, Israelis, Arab-Israelis, undocumented Jordanians... each embody the incongruous, complex reality of a territory where identities are fractured. Intifada Rap is a clear image of a generation still fighting for peace and change, far from a call to arms.

Ursula Nistrup
Eavesdropping

Published by: Cura

80 pages 17 x 24 cm Softcover Edition of 500

£14.00

How can something immaterial take shape and occupy space? Music and sound refer to the category of affections, the aesthetic information they contain is substantially untranslatable and transcends language. Over the past decade, Ursula Nistrup has worked in a number of different media with a distinct focus on sound and its relation to space, in the attempt to give to the former a perceivable shape through the mediation of images, language and architecture. Between the pages of the book, as if they were the supporting walls of a tale or the pauses in a composition, four different sheets of handmade paper are inserted, each with a distinctive tone, composition, weight, surface and sound they make when shaken. All together they compose a new work Tonepaper, which as a musical instrument represents the shape and space of a sound.

£18.00

Cookbook is a yearly publication created by Madrid-based studio Naranjo—Etxeberria. Each number is dedicated to a creative who becomes the content director, since this guest shares and talks about the “ingredients” he or she combines to make his or her work. The sections in Cookbook are always the same and match a series of questions asked to the guest. These are: main influence, a book, a film, a song, a piece of clothing, a place, a font (this font will be the one used to design the Cookbook), a color (which will be the color for the publication), a recipe and an interview. The first guest artist in Cookbook was the illustrator Ricardo Cavolo and this second issue is dedicated to the catalan graphic designer and surf enthusiast Albert Folch. Issue 02 contributors: Ainhoa Rebolledo, Aitor Saraiba, Albert Folch, Alberto Hernández, Ángela Palacios, Daniel Martí de Veses, Diego Etxeberria, Elena Gallén, Gabriel Silveira, José María Ribagorda, Juanri Castaño, Kaspar Hauser, Kim Francis, La Camorra, Left Hand Rotation, Manu Ridocci, María Arranz, Pablo Abad, SHOOP Clothing and Talares.

£18.00

We are fascinated with the pretty, young thing. As images makers we often look for the new or the new to our eye. Then we obsess. An object, a shape or the ’thing-ness’ of a scene is fetishized as the artist wants to posess it and make it his or her own by rendering it in a protographic print. ’P.Y.T.’ is the name and conceptual starting point for a new series of titles from Vandret Publications. For this first P.Y.T. title Vandret Publications is excited to have gathered works from some of the most interesting young image makers working in the field of photography today. Featuring: Marie Angeletti, Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry, Flemming Ove Bech Steven Brahms, Baker & Evans, Asger Carlsen, Bryan Dooley, Maurice van Es Ryan Foerster, Thomas Hauser, Nico Krijno, Mårten Lange Inka Lindergård and Niclas Holmström, Winslow Laroche, Jeremy Liebman Max J.

£67.00

The book “Shikishima” is a series of photographs taken during 1969-72 on the artist Tamiko Nishimura’s journeys around the Tohoku, Hokuriku, Kanto, Kansai, and Chugoku regions of Japan. To accompany the exhibition "shikishima" in Zen Foto Gallery from 2/5~3/1 this year, Zen published a reprint of the 1973 edition of "Shikishima", accompanied by a supplement composed of unpublished photographs, and english translations of the original text and a newly written text by Tamiko Nishimura."The weather changed often, with strong winds, sunshine, clouds, and rain. I was strongly attracted by the how the light shined, by the smell of flowers, and just by the atmosphere of the place, rather than what I actually saw. Even if I walk through the same place every day, each walk would be different, depending on who I meet or how the light shines. It is not particularly about visiting somewhere new. Still, while watching foreign ships in Kobe Port I dreamed of one day sailing in one to a country I’ve never been to before."

Manifesto on the relationship between art and surfing. What if the West showed us the way ? The ocean, surfing, the beach, skating... all antidotes to depression and sources of inspiration that deeply influence our new ways of living and working. To better understand this phenomenon, Joran Briand and Marie Doiteau met with eight Californian artists and designers who work in communion with the ocean.

Jimmie Durham
Waiting to be Interrupted

Published by: Mousse Publishing

368 pages 15 x 21 cm Softcover

£22.00

Durham’s primary format is storytelling, central to which is the ability to communicate experience. Edited by Jean Fisher, Selected Writing is the second, long-awaited collection of the artist’s texts, produced and released in a twenty-year span. If the forms of address in the texts aim for simplicity, the use of language—peppered with puns and neologisms and digressions into multilingual etymologies—demonstrates a complexity that persistently defers our demand for easy interpretation. As Durham frequently implies, his subversion of textual logic is intended to liberate words as material from their entrapment in thoughtless conventions (blind belief), just as his play with found materials is intended to free art from its capture in the deathly inertia of monumentalism—its connection to architexture.

Art and Culture in Times of Conflict

Published by: Mousse Publishing

112 pages 20 x 26.5 cm Softcover

£17.50

During the night of August 25, 1914, a library holding 230,000 volumes went up in flames. It was the centenary of this incident—the destruction by German troops of the university library in Leuven—that prompted the exhibition “Ravaged: Art and Culture in Times of Conflict”. The destruction of the centuries-old university in Leuven sent a shockwave around the world, heralding the new practice of deliberately destroying libraries and other cultural resources as a strategy of twentieth-century warfare. The exhibition “Ravaged: Art and Culture in Times of Conflict” at M–Museum Leuven (2014) moves from a cultural-historical perspective, focusing on five thematic clusters that recur throughout history in representations of crimes against culture: ravaged cities, ruins, targeted heritage, propaganda, and art theft. Parallel to a historical section, which covers the period up to the end of the First World War, ten contemporary artists (Adel Abdessemed, Lida Abdul, Sven Augustijnen, Fernando Bryce, Cai Guo-Qiang, Mona Hatoum, Emily Jacir, Lamia Joreige, Michael Rakowitz and Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor) have been invited to show work tying into the exhibition theme—including two new creations, especially commissioned for “Ravaged”. This publication sets out to explore their respective oeuvres, and to provide more information about past projects and new ones. Even today, works of art are not only deliberately destroyed, but plundered, stolen from museums or dug up illegally from archeological sites. By including these contemporary visions, it shows how local histories fit into a near-endless litany of devastation and plunder, and how the destruction of cultural heritage remains a widespread scourge. Designed by Sara De Bondt and published in collaboration with M–Museum Leuven.
