André Cepeda
Rua Stan Getz



Published by: Pierre von Kleist

88 Pages  28 x 22.4 cm  Edition of 600  Hardcover with dustjacket  

£30.00

In 2012 André Cepeda spent three intense months in São Paulo, exploring and photographing the city while reevaluating the very nature of his practice.  The thrill of discovering a new territory, the endless photographic possibilities and the buzz of the city in contrast with Cepeda's distinctive silent style, reveals the author's work in a completely new light. The result is a warm, colorful labyrinth of this megacity -  its places, streets, architecture and people. Cepeda's managed to create his own São Paulo. Rua Stan Getz reads like a sensual dream that feels real.   From the artist's notebook: “ (...) spitting on the ground, pissing in the street, the sound of the saxophone that vibrates and endures and dilutes as I write alone in the studio in São Paulo thinking about the city streets...the decision to turn left or right or to go straight ahead is fascinating and physically demanding. The unexpected and the discovery in every minute that passes; everything is new and the will is strong. I want to be on this endless path, I want the streets to speak to me and teach me how to look and tell me how I should act. it's the images that guide me and make me see what I want to see and discover what I have never seen (....)”

André Cepeda
Rien



Published by: Pierre von Kleist

56 Pages 24 x 37cm Softcover

£25.00

Dark alleys, blocks of cement, tired naked bodies, strings that lead to nowhere, abandoned tubes.  Rien, the new André Cepeda book, is an immersive experience. Page after page we are led into a void where all things seem to have lost their name, creating a restless and suspended time. More than looking at physical spaces, we feel as if in an endless present tense. There is Emptiness, but a desired one.  Cepeda makes the beautiful more white than black large format photographs look spontaneous and free.  A book about the process of photographing, about film. A desire to touch and enlighten all things around us.

José Pedro Cortes
Costa



Published by: Pierre von Kleist

80 Pages 21 x 35 cm  Hardcover 

£30.00

14 kms south from Lisboa, where I live, is Costa da Caparica.  During the last years I often found myself returning to this magnetic place.  José Pedro Cortes Costa da Caparica is a place, south of Lisboa - a strip of land that exists between the last stretch of civilization and the beach. In COSTA, we wander through this territory: shacks, outmoded architecture, remains of houses, dirt left by the tide; an agglomeration of sand, vegetation and streets – a peripheral, end-of-the-line location. We are flooded by a strange luminosity; a dazzling and mysterious light which imbues these spaces with a disconcerting and unreal atmosphere, like something seen while in a hypnotic state, encouraging the spectator to participate in a suggestive and paradoxical exploration of individual experience.

Casa De Lava



Published by: Pierre von Kleist

144 Pages  14.6 x 20.9cm Hardcover

£30.00

During the course of the production preparation for his film 'Casa de Lava' (1994), portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa compiled what he saw, what he read, his many ideas and images into a scrapbook instead of a screenplay. Paintings, movie stills, letters, newspaper articles, scribbles, quotes from novels, postcards, lines of dialogue, snapshots, that guided him throughout the shooting of the film and that he continued - and finished - after returning to Lisboa. This green covered notebook became an autonomous object, a visual record of Costa's way of thinking.  Includes a booklet with an exclusive interview with Nuno Crespo and a text by Philippe Azoury (both in portuguese, english and french).

The book is made up of photographs and copy used on ebay. Seen without the guile of the worlds top photographers and copywriters many of the things for sale seem absurd and often tinged with tragedy, especially in the current economic climate.

£100.00

Includes the book and a limited edition print, signed and numbered en verso. Inkjet print on Hahnnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta paper, 28,5x19,5cm. Limited to 12 each.

As it's forerunners it is the product of Rindal's experiments with photography, texture, exposure and light. The obvious playfulness in the technique Rindal has chosen for his particular subjects points to a school of photography, where the end result is about exploring a glance, and pushing the boundaries of its terms.

In Distance we are invited in with Rindal in his family village of Fåvang, Norway, located in the vicinity of the Norwegian mountains, in a three hour drive from Oslo.

SJ Fowler
{Enthusiasm}



Published by: Test Centre Books

96 pages 22.5 x 15 cm Softcover Edition of 400 2015

£12.00

{Enthusiasm} is the 7th poetry collection by poet, artist, curator and vanguardist SJ Fowler. It follows highly-acclaimed collections including The Rottweiler’s guide to the Dog Owner and Enemies: the selected collaborations of SJ Fowler. The book’s 81 poems are intended as individual pieces in their own right, but are interlinked by subjects including battle and violence, infants and infancy, religion, economy and population, the self, modernity, and the past. Fowler’s poetry is playful and allusive, international in its scope. His Enemies project, concerning the possibilities of poetry in collaboration, has curated over 70 events and 9 exhibitions in 13 nations – these possibilities feed into the possibilities of his texts, his awareness of different modes of expression. Likewise, {Enthusiasm} thrives upon the effect on language of modern modes of communication, and the book makes disarming use of accident, irony, and error. A substantial collection, {Enthusiasm} marks a decisive step in Fowler’s tireless, expansive career.

Tom Chivers
Dark Islands



Published by: Test Centre Books

64 pages 17 x 12 cm Softcover Edition of 400 2015

£12.00

Dark Islands is the 2nd collection of poetry by Tom Chivers, following 2009’s acclaimed How to Build a City. The collection brings together poems written over a period of four years, united by their themes of observation, dreaming, landscape, the city, money and finance, the future, magic, protest and modernity. The poems in Dark Islands are rooted in the curiosities of human observation, yet interested in the possibilities of a world beyond that – of dreams, futures and imagined pasts. Throughout the collection, the image of the island is explored both literally and metaphorically, as the poems address utopian and dystopian ideas, themes of isolation and escape, and a concern with the natural and urban environment. The poems explore the infelicities of language and the difficulties of expression and communication. Layers of meaning and a playful manipulation of language allow moments of humour and astute observations of modern culture to combine with a complex, philosophical outlook that probes into the darker aspects of the familiar world. It is a collection in which traditional forms conceal radical and unconventional images and ideas. Dark Islands identifies itself as a the work of a London poet, revealing Chivers’ interest in the landscapes of his city, its hidden histories and its state of constant flux and evolution. The book is beautifully designed by Traven T. Croves, with a reverse-printed black and white interior that draws attention to the placing of the words on the page, moving beyond the conventions of traditional poetry publications to present something striking and unique.

Kaleidoscope
Issue 24



Published by:

272 pages 30 x 23 cm Softcover

£9.00

Welcome to Kaleidoscope's #24 (Spring/Summer 2015). It's going to be a hot season for the art world this year, with the Venice Biennale opening its doors in May and major art fairs calling our presence back and forth between continents. Nonetheless, preparing this edition, we are also hoping it will keep readers company—and fresh!—during their much-awaited holiday break. In the opening section of HIGHLIGHTS, 11 profiles account for the best of the season: BUNNY ROGERS (by Hanne Mugaas), ERIC MACK (by Beau Rutland), ANICKA YI (by Alexander Shulan), IBRAHIM MAHAMA (by George Vasey), GUCCIVUITTON (by Gean Moreno), HOLLY HERNDON (by Bianca Stoppani), NANCY LUPO (by Jay Ezra Nayssan), ÉTUDES STUDIO (by Christopher Schreck), THAN HUSSEIN CLARK (by Dan Munn), MING WONG (by Binghao Wong), and MÉLANIE MATRANGA (by Martha Kirszenbaum). As the logo reasserts its place in popular culture and a new generation of artists explores and challenges notions of branding, LOGOMANIA™ is the title of our signature MAIN THEME section—composed of a trend overview by Alessio Ascari, which investigates art’s obsession with brands in recent art history; a fashion think piece by Trey Taylor; and four artist interviews on the topic, including MARK FLOOD (by Jeff Elrod), ILJA KARILAMPI (by Peter J. Amdam), METAHAVEN (by Nav Haq), and CORY ARCANGEL (by Jacob Ciocci). To follow, this issue's MONO section is dedicated to the great German painter ALBERT OEHLEN. Unified by a brilliant understanding of the semiotics of images, and agitated by a humorous take on the false dichotomy of good and bad taste, his practice unfolds through a set of constraints and a brutally harsh interior dialogue—setting up a little chess game between the painter and the canvas. This definitive monographic survey comprises an essay by John Corbett and an interview by Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen. Later on, the VISIONS section invites the eye to an enthralling journey across a hundred pages of visual contributions by artists, curators and image-makers, including: SIMON DENNY, SAM FALLS, KAWS, HUMA BHABHA, TIANZHUO CHEN, GEORGE DUREAU, LAURA OWENS & ASHA SCHECHTER, and WILLA NASATIR. Lastly, the closing section of REGULARS features our insightful columns on the past, present and future of art and culture: in PIONEERS Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen talk influences with DAN GRAHAM; PRODUCERS features Carson Chan exploring the abyss with WILLIAM WARMUS; Jeffrey Deitch advocates ART FOR ALL for his RENAISSANCE MAN column; in FUTURA 89+, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Simon Castets interview young artist DARJA BAJAGIĆ; Milovan Farronato and GOSHKA MACUGA share memories of Stromboli as part of the PANORAMA series.

£9.00

With the third instalment of Snaps, Gianfranco Briceño attempts to bring male beauty to the viewer whilst sidestepping the mainstream macho image. Briceño rarely shoots professional models choosing instead to cast friends and aquainntances within the gay scene in Brazil. “The idea is to photograph guys that, even if they're not professional models, are young and beautiful boys that I run along in the daily life and catch up my eyes exactly for having a special, non-obvious beauty,” says Briceño.

Return Of The Rudeboy



Published by:

128 pages 23.5 cm x 30.5 cm Hardcover 2015  

£40.00

Originating from the streets of Kingston, Jamaica in the late 1950s, Rudeboy or Rudie came to represent the young rebels who wore distinctively sharp sartorial styles such as Mohair suits, thin ties and pork pie hats.  The style was closely connected to the music movements of the time; their initial inspiration derived from American Jazz and R&B musicians as well as some notorious gangsters.  As is prevalent in the Rudeboy culture, the origins were appropriated and then twisted. The Rudeboy has travelled through time since then and evolved; in the 1980s, Two-Tone brought it right back into the frame.  Now today’s young men and women have adopted the swagger and adapted the essence of the original Rudeboy but for a 21st century generation. This year sees the ‘Return of the Rudeboy’ exhibition  encapsulated into a beautifully printed 128-page hard cover book. Containing unseen images, essays on Rudeboy heritage and culture as well as references to the curated spaces at the Somerset House exhibition; Return of the Rudeboy. Created and curated by prolific photographer and filmmaker for music’s most wanted Dean Chalkley and fashion-industry favourite creative director Harris Elliott, Return of the Rudeboy showcased a sartorial subculture through a series of portraits, installations and set pieces.  Over the course of a year the duo photographed over 60 sharply dressed individuals from across the UK, all of whom embody the essence of what it is to be a Rudeboy (or Rudie) in the 21st century.  The curated collection of images shows the subjects presenting their pure and singular sartorial swagger in locations linked to the Rudeboy lifestyle, whether it be on the streets of Shoreditch or Savile Row.

Kim Jong Il Looking at Things.



Published by:

192 pages Hardcover 24.1 x 17.3 cm 80 colour illustrations 2014   

£20.00

Comical and bizarre, Kim Jong Il Looking at Things is based upon one of the most followed, shared and imitated monothematic Tumblr blogs in recent years. Created by João Rocha, an art director at an advertising firm in Lisbon, the blog is a collection of photographs which depict the former “Dear Leader” of North Korea, often accompanied by military personnel or senior advisers, engaged in the act of looking at things. Since its creation in October 2010, Rocha has posted photographs appropriated from the North Korean Central News Agency, which he matches with deadpan captions: “looking at cows”; “looking at blue rods”; “looking at pastry”; “looking at a metalworker”; “looking at a DVD labeling machine.” This hilarious book collects a series of the blog’s most memorable photographs and includes an essay by visual culture writer Marco Bohr.
