    An archival collection of Camil's conceptual art and installations, incorporating themes of commerce, textile production and Latin American politicsThis is the first monograph dedicated to the practice of Mexican artist Pia Camil (born 1980). The book combines formal institutional documentation with material from the artist's personal archive to feature 32 projects from 2006 to date. Camil's work engages in a revisionist formal exercise that rethinks canonical figures in Western Art from a Latin American female perspective, while also setting her art within the socio-political realities of Mexico and the United States. The book was designed in collaboration between the artist and Mexican designer Sofia Broid and includes an addendum by Gabriela Jauregui. Three illustrated essays, as well as an interview with the artist, delve into Camil's practice. With English and Spanish texts, this book makes Camil's important contribution to feminist and Latin American artistic practices in the context of late capitalism accessible to a wider audience.

    Documenting an artist couple's site-specific exhibition at Frank Lloyd Wright's historic East Hollywood Hollyhock HouseDesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright as the centerpiece of an arts complex that was only partially realized, Hollyhock House has served as a home, an art club, a social club and a house museum. Entanglements, staged within the site, featured new works by a Los Angeles-based artist couple: painter Louise Bonnet (born 1970) and sculptor Adam Silverman (born 1963). Installed within the rooms and spaces of Hollyhock House, Bonnet's paintings and Silverman's ceramics engaged with the house's 100-year history as a platform for artistic experimentation. Their joint exhibition foregrounded the many entanglements of a given place, broadening perspectives on this California house and its layered history. This book documents the pieces as they were installed in Hollyhock House, and features conversations between artists, architects, chefs, friends and lovers whose work and lives are entangled in Los Angeles.

    The first monograph on the exuberant, polymorphous art of Teddy Sandoval, whose work explored community, queerness and Chicano identityAccompanying the artist's first retrospective, Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art examines the work of the inventive yet overlooked Los Angeles-based artist Teddy Sandoval (1949-95). A central figure in Los Angeles's queer and Chicanx artistic circles, Sandoval was an active participant in international avant-garde movements. For 25 years, he produced subversive and playful artworks in a range of mediums--including ceramics, mail art, painting, printmaking, performance, photography, window displays and xerography--that explored the codes of gender and sexuality, particularly transforming conceptions of masculinity.This expansive publication surveys Sandoval's work alongside other queer, Latinx and Latin American artists whose practices profoundly resonate. The expansive catalog features essays by C. Ondine Chavoya, David Evans Frantz, Raquel Gutiérrez and Mari Rodriguez Binnie, as well as biographical entries on additional artists featured in the exhibition, among them, Félix Ángel, Myrna Báez, Álvaro Barrios, Ester Hernández, Hudinilson Jr., Antonio Lopez, María Martínez-Cañas, Marisol and Joey Terrill.

    On the late post-conceptual paintings of the influential artist and educatorThe Barbados-born, Seattle-based painter Denzil Hurley (1949-2021) was a quietly influential figure in the art world throughout his life, dedicating much of his time to teaching at the University of Washington and to championing other artists.Hurley's interests in modular forms and structures involving squares and rectangles led him to consider the interconnectivity and conjunctions of paintings and signs, material and meaning, presence and absence, and the languages of painting and speech.Published in tandem with an exhibition of his work at Canada, this book is the first major publication on Hurley. The catalog focuses on Hurley's final paintings, a mixture of reductive post-conceptual painting and provisional construction methods of the African diaspora, including his spare "stick" and "glyphs" series.

    A celebration of multicultural collaboration through contemporary ceramics and exquisite ikebana arrangementsAdam Silverman creates ambitious ceramic work with site-specific materials that engage their places of origin. Similar to a chef cooking with local ingredients, his works are infused with the history, culture, issues and spirit of a place. In the fall of 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe, Silverman began a project to address the political and cultural divisions in America. Silverman collected materials (clay, wood ash and water) from every state and inhabited US territory and combined them into a single, new, fully integrated material. This material was then used to create 56 ceremonial vessels that celebrate the nation's diversity and the idea of radical inclusivity. A series of 56 Ikebana arrangements made by teachers and students at Sogetsu Ikebana Los Angeles are placed in Silverman's vessels, creating a powerful pairing of American materials and symbols with Japanese traditions.Adam Silverman (born 1963) is a Los Angeles-based artist known for his experimental processes and resulting sculptural vessels. He is regarded as one of the most dynamic practitioners dedicated to ceramics today. Silverman received bachelor degrees in both fine art and architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design.

    Artists from Francis Alys to the Otolith Group meditate on the aesthetic and political possibilities of "the percussive"Accompanying the 2022 exhibition at Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco, Drum Listens to Heart reflects on the many ways that percussion exists beyond the framework of music and imagines "the percussive" as an aesthetic, expressive and political form more broadly. The publication includes a new essay by the curator, images of the works in the exhibition by the 25 artists and artist collectives, and short texts by 10 scholars, writers, artists and curators who respond to a single word to create a "glossary" of terms associated with percussion.

    Renowned philosopher Susan Buck-Morss collaborates with Boot Boyz Biz's Kevin McCaughey and Inventory Press' Adam Michaels on this experimental image-text update of McLuhan and BenjaminRenowned philosopher Susan Buck-Morss collaborates with Kevin McCaughey of Boot Boyz Biz and Adam Michaels of Inventory Press on this experimental image-text renewal of McLuhan, Berger and Benjamin.Seeing Making: Room for Thought both studies and presents the creative process of constructing ideas with images. By activating the techniques of montage and analogy, the book reveals a wide field of view and a space to engage new critical connections between a multiplicity of objects from the past and present. Realized through an intergenerational collaboration of three cultural producers committed to making theory visible, a transformative anthology of critical essays by Susan Buck-Morss anchors this kaleidoscopic project. Images and ideas sync with Buck-Morss' perceptive texts on visual culture, history, politics and aesthetics, fusing criticism with visual play and linking collective imagination and social action.In both design and content, Seeing Making: Room for Thought builds upon the dynamic sensorium of Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore's book The Medium Is the Massage, Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project and John Berger's Ways of Seeing. This innovative volume brings Buck-Morss' more experimental, visually engaged work to the fore in a way that has not been available in the usual contexts within which her writing has appeared.

  • - Artists Call and Central American Solidarities
     
    421,-

    "In the early 1980s, a group of artists, writers and activists came together in New York City to form Artists Call Against US Intervention in Central America, a creative campaign that mobilized nationwide in an effort to bring attention to the US government's violent involvement in Latin American nations such as Nicaragua and El Salvador. Together the group staged over 200 exhibitions, concerts and other public events in a single year, raising awareness and funds for those disenfranchised by such political crises. Art for the Future illuminates the history of Artists Call with archival pieces and newly commissioned work in the spirit of the group's message. In Spanish and English, a wide selection of artists and organizers examine the group's history as well as the issues that were as urgent to Artists Call in 1984 as they are now: decolonization, Indigeneity, collectivity, human rights and self-determination. Artists include: Antena Aire, Benvenuto Chavajay, Leon Golub, Hans Haacke, Fredman Barahona & Christian Dietkus Lord, Sandra Monterroso, Carlos Motta, Claes Oldenburg, Gregory Sholette and Coosje van Bruggen, Maria Thereza Alves, Sabra Moore, Jerri Allyn, Dona Ann McAdams, Rudolf Baranik, Susan Meiselas, Alfredo Jaar, Martha Rosler, Jesâus Romeo Galdâamez and Jimmie Durham"--

    With a rich, immersive design, this clothbound monograph reveals the fault lines of race, colonialism and empire that haunt the presentBorrowing its title from Herodotus' fifth-century work, this publication documents a cycle of three works collectively titled The Histories, by artist David Hartt (born 1967). Focusing on the Americas and the Caribbean during the 19th century, Hartt explores real and imagined landscapes informed by the work of Martin Johnson Heade, Robert S. Duncanson, Michel-Jean Cazabon and Frederic Church. His contemporary interpretations use video, tapestry and sculpture alongside musical collaborations with Girma Yifrashewa, Van Dyke Parks and Stefan Betke. The first work, Le Mancenillier, sited in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Beth Sholom Synagogue, was filmed and photographed in Haiti and New Orleans. The second, Old Black Joe, in Trinidad and Ohio, and the final work, Crépuscule, commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, was made in Jamaica and Newfoundland. The Histories reveals the complex entanglement of peoples and cultures as place is explored.

    Celebrating an artistic and intellectual friendshipThis book encompasses a broad range of conversations between Jan Tumlir and Jorge Pardo, which span a period of 20 years, beginning in 1999. Cuban-born, Mexico-based artist Jorge Pardo (born 1963) explores the intersection of contemporary painting, design, sculpture and architecture. Employing a broad palette of vibrant colors, eclectic patterns, and natural and industrial materials, Pardo's works range from murals to home furnishings to collages to larger-than-life fabrications. Here in conversation with art writer, teacher and curator Jan Tumlir (born 1962), he discusses contemporary art, design, publishing and music. The conversations also connect to the varied contexts of Los Angeles and Merida, Mexico, where they took place. The result is a story of a unique intellectual friendship that has helped define both of their thinking and practice.

    "Ant Farm, the conceptual architectural practice turned art collaborative, is known for such distinctive works as House of the Century (1971-73), Cadillac Ranch (1974), and The Eternal Frame (1975). -- Of equal notoriety is Media Burn, Ant Farm's legendary 1975 performance, in which a radically customized Cadillac was driven through a wall of burning television sets. Media Burn: Ant Farm and the Making of an Image is a vibrant assessment of the complex set of cultural references and art-making strategies informing this collision of twentieth-century icons. -- Author Steve Seid (Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive) probes the little-known critical backstory of this bold performance (and resulting video work) and its irreverent effort to mount a subversive critique of media hegemony while reimagining the core meaning of performance itself. -- Media Burn: Ant Farm and the Making of an Image examines car culture, image proliferation, and radical architectural practice, and offers a close read of Media Burn's numerous texts, speeches, ephemera, and artifacts."--Provided by publisher

    The Pragmatism in the History of Art traces the questions that modern art history has used to make sense of the changes overtaking both art and life. The questions combine with case studies as a story unfolds: the work of Meyer Schapiro, Henri Focillon, Alexander Dorner, George Kubler, Robert Herbert, T. J. Clark and Linda Nochlin is scrutinized; the philosophy of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and the films of Chris Marker and Jean-Luc Godard show distinctly pragmatic effects; artists discussed include Vincent Van Gogh, Isamu Noguchi, Lawrence Weiner and Gordon Matta-Clark. The relevance of this material for the art and art-writing of our own time becomes increasingly clear.

    Midnight: The Tempest Essays, the second book in Molly Nesbit's 'Pre-Occupations' series, returns the question of pragmatism to the everyday critical practice of the art historian working in the late 20th century. These essays take their cues from the work of specific artists and writers, beginning in the late 1960s, a time when critical commentary found itself in a political and philosophical crisis. Illustrated case studies on Eugáene Atget, Marcel Duchamp, Jean-Luc Godard, Cindy Sherman, Louise Lawler, Rachel Whiteread, Gabriel Orozco, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Lawrence Weiner, Nancy Spero, Rem Koolhaas, Martha Rosler, Gerhard Richter, Matthew Barney and Richard Serra, among others, continue the legacy of a pragmatism that has endured while debates over postmodernism and French philosophy raged.
