Nocturnal forest scenes and fantastic narratives, illuminated through spotlights that allude to Berlin's neonlit nightlife-the latest paintings, VR installations, and poems by American artist Brandon Lipchik offer glimpses into his very own surreal dreamscape. Like a director in a theater, he stages his digitally composed mythical and uncanny scenes full of erotic allusions, transforming them into a collage-like physcial presence on canvas. Between dense foliage reminiscent of Henri Rousseau and the computer game aesthetic of the 1990s, Lipchik creates a unique visual language. This richly illustrated publication is both: an exhibition catalog and a survey of the artist's oeuvre to date. A separately designed section presents Lipchick's VR works and provides insights into the post-digital practice of the emerging artist.BRANDON LIPCHIK (*1993, Erie, PA) studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and at Brown University. He has had solo exhibitions in New York, Berlin, Santa Monica, Amsterdam and Paris; this is his first institutional solo show. He lives in New York and Berlin.

Published on the occasion of the Hawai'i Triennial 2022 (HT22), Pacific Century-EHöomau no Moananuiakea examines key art historical backgrounds and contemporary discussions on art, expanding the frame of reference for the Asia-Pacific region. Essays by the co-curators lay out the critical approaches that shaped the framework of the Triennial around the fluid concept of a Pacific Century. A selection of texts by artists and scholars reflects upon the field of art history in the region. Also included is a newly commissioned conversation with Homi K. Bhabha, illuminating his theoretical criticism that continues to carve out a new discursive space where the marginalized can find agency. Participating HT22 artists-from Hawai'i, Asia-Pacific, and beyond-are highlighted in a dedicated section with an original introductory text and images.

This monograph is the first comprehensive overview of the work of N. Dash, exploring the paintings, drawings and photography of this New York and New Mexico based American artist. N. Dash uses natural as well as man-made materials such as earth, pigments, graphite, fabric, string, and found objects to construct conscious and intuitive abstractions, which draw on bodily movements and energy meridians, ecological systems, and other subtle or intangible structures. This volume includes major works from 2011 to 2021, and essays by Suzanne Hudson, Michael Taussig and others with a poem by John Giorno, which explore Dash's work in art historical, anthropological, and environmental contexts. N. DASH (*1980) studied at New York University and Columbia University. Selected institutional solo exhibitions include the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT and White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MO.

Ghent; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, CA; The Jewish Museum, New York, NY and Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. In 2022, N. Dash will have a solo exhibition at S.M.A.K in Ghent, Belgium.
