Mark Forbes: Collected memories - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

As Time Passes and Details Fade, Photographs Turn into Memories “As time passes and details fade, the photographs that we choose to hold onto become our memories. As a result when an image is made, explicitly or subconsciously, decisions are being made about how things will be remembered.” These images are Australian photographer’s Mark Forbes Collected Memories. His debut monograph presents a cohesive blend of carefully composed scenes, from faded interiors and common, relatable spaces, to the romance of our environment being reclaimed by nature. Turning the pages there is a stirring sense of both subtle ordinary beauty and inherent personality sprinkled across each of the large plates. Forbes’ photographic preference, using medium format film, is slow and methodical–and this approach can be felt throughout the quiet pages.

Anna-Eva Bergman & Hans Hartung - Mari Pauline - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Hannah Hallermann (Bilingual edition) - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

In her multidisciplinary work, Berlin-based artist Hannah Hallermann combines clear, essential forms with complex social issues. She calls her sculptures, which often resemble abstract architectural elements or sports equipment, Tools for Social Transformation; they serve her as instruments for analyzing the present and establishing new parameters. In her first solo catalog, her work is presented extensively and brought into an exchange with various narratives and text formats concerned with transformation.

Olivia Erlanger - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Interiors and speculative memoriesHow do we imagine our place in the world in the current age of “polycrisis,” in which many disruptive events are occurring simultaneously? This question runs through Olivia Erlanger’s long-term exploration of the symbols and myths of suburban life. For her, “home” is a vast ecosystem that includes not only houses, but also their interiors and the surrounding infrastructure. The book marks Erlanger’s first solo museum exhibition in the US, a sweeping survey of her sculptures, films, and installations.

Andre Romao: Fauna - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Portuguese artist Andre Romao has developed his practice over the past years to include a diversity of media, from poetry and sculpture to installations and video works. His work explores notions of violence, resistance, and eroticism, having the human body and its often problematic interaction with historical, environmental, and economical macrostructures at its core. Romao draws on a broad range of references, from classical antiquity to Surrealism, from modern literature to the Baroque. The richly illustrated catalogue accompanies Romao's solo exhibition at Museu Colecao Berardo, in Lisbon, and includes an in-depth essay on the artist's work by the curator, Pedro Lapa.

Haegue Yang: The Cone of Concern - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Haegue Yang: The Cone of Concern documents the first solo exhibition in the Philippines of celebrated Korean artist Haegue Yang, who is known for her unique interweaving of conceptual language and aesthetic vocabulary. The Cone of Concern, which takes its name from a weather forecasting tool that traces the path of an oncoming storm, presents humanity’s attempt to confront natural phenomena. The publication draws out the notion of solidarity among those facing difficult circumstances and revisits Yang’s complex layering of objects—woven anthropomorphic sculptures, light sculptures, rotating sound bells, whirlwind-derived structures, textile canopies, and sound elements—against a lenticular print backdrop of a digitally altered meteorological image.

Simone Fattal (Bilingual edition) - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Archetypal Figurations of Displacement and Fragility Influenced by her experiences of war and migration, Simone Fattal has transcended the boundaries of both media and geography like few other artists of her generation. In her collages, she combines pieces from her private archive with historical events in the Arab world. Made up of individual parts and reassembled, these works suggest the fragility of an identity shaped by migration. Her more abstract ceramic sculptures reference ancient myths and archaeological finds. Fattal’s first solo exhibition in Germany is accompanied by the artist’s first comprehensive monograph, which combines essays by long-time companions with new scholarly contributions by international authors.

Brandon Lipchik (Bilingual edition) - New Contributor - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Fantastic landscapes and fictional narratives, paired with the neon-colored light shows of Berlin's nightlife—the latest paintings, VR installations and poems by American artist Brandon Lipchik offer glimpses into his own personal wonderland. He presents his dark but also humorous scenes, which are bursting with homoerotic references, on the screen like a director presents his plays on a theater stage. With this new cycle of works, the Kunstpalais presents the world's first institutional solo exhibition of Brandon Lipchik. The richly illustrated publication is both an exhibition catalogue and an overview of the artist's oeuvre to date. Beyond that, it also shows influences, ideas, and digital work processes in a section designed by the artist himself.

Haegue Yang - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Haegue Yang’s artworks are known not only for their diversity of media and methods, but also for their eloquent and seductive sculptural language of conceptual abstraction, often derived from her research on figures and events throughout history, as well as inquiries into folk and traditional craft techniques. Bringing together new and existing works spanning the last decade, Haegue Yang’s solo exhibition In the Cone of Uncertainty at The Bass foregrounds the artist’s consistent curiosity about the world and tireless experimentation with materializing the complexity of identity politics and its ever-changing parameters. Its companion publication highlights a substantial selection of Yang’s oeuvre, including blind installations, anthropomorphic works, and light sculptures, with an expanded focus on her growing series of mural-like graphic wall pieces.

Daniel Richter - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

"As a politically thinking person, I am not a morally thinking person.” While German painting of the postwar period essentially concerned itself with coming to terms with the past and presenting it in gestures ranging from the heroic to the ironic, Daniel Richter focuses on positioning himself in the present. Time and again he devises new ways of being “modern” in a medium that has long been labeled old-fashioned and anachronistic. His pictures constantly challenge the spectator by their painterly and contextually excessive demands, but they do not lecture on moral issues. In five chapters featuring more than 200 examples of his works, the author Eva Meyer-Hermann traces the chronological development of Richter’s artistic output for the first time. The turns from abstraction to figuration and back again that until now have been described as abrupt, prove on closer examination to be a logical consequence and a sign of conscious artistic action.

Suki Seokyeong Kang (Bilingual edition) - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary Art in Korean Tradition Suki Seokyeong Kang’s practice traverses painting, sculpture, installation, as well as video and performance to explore the interplay between the individual and the collective. By developing an artistic vocabulary that draws from the rich heritage of Korean painting, poetry and dance, Kang’s oeuvre examines the durability of traditions and expands their significance to contemporary art. The catalogue, accompanying her solo exhibition Willow Drum Oriole at Leeum Museum of Art, proposes to read Kang’s practice through a range of varying discourses, such as the status of traditional Korean painting in contemporary art, feminism, and the narratives of the Western avant-garde. Taking the artist’s foundational painting practice as a point of departure, the catalogue features a new body of work and charts the development of Kang’s artistic language.

Ekrem Yalcindag (Bilingual edition) - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Ekrem Yalcindag is one of the most important contemporary Turkish artists. In his impasto paintings, he combines a modern, abstract pictorial approach with traditions from countries east of Turkey. For the Bank Austria Kunstforum in Vienna, the renowned curator Robert Fleck is organizing Yalcindag's largest solo exhibition to date, which focuses on three new series of works that have never been shown institutionally before. This publication presents them for the first time: the monochrome Tondi, the Infinity Paintings with their subtle, sometimes magical spaces of color, and the large-format series Natures. Created especially for the exhibition, these paintings contain Yalcindag's typical structure of small, stylized flowers as well as oversized floral motifs and wooden structures, which the artist applies to the canvas using screen and wood printing.

Daiga Grantina - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Sculptures of an Organic Artificiality Atem, Lehm - the German words for “breath” and “clay”, a title inspired by a poem by Paul Celan - is the first monograph dedicated to Latvian artist Daiga Grantina. Grantina’s solo show at GAMeC in Bergamo represented a major evolution in her poetics, a decisive and coherent change of palette and pace compared to her amorphous in-situ installations that have characterized her work to date. A mural forms an open-ended structure with its potentially infinite combinations: It seems to breathe, constraining and distending the grounding of space. The book’s structure mirrors this evolution, exploring a before, characterized by large-scale environmental installations in New York’s New Museum, the Biennale di Venezia and in Palais de Tokyo, Paris, to name a few, and an after, when the artist’s sculptural environments seem to shift their locus of perception.

Plastic World - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

THE ART OF PLASTIC Plastic is everywhere. It permeates our everyday lives, is inexpensive and available worldwide. Thanks to their literally astonishing plasticity, plastics soon began to fascinate artists as well - both as a symptom and a symbol of mass culture. In the brief history of the "Plastic Age" the versatile substance transformed though: from the epitome of progress, utopian spirit, and democratization of consumerism into a threat. Plastic World offers a broad panorama of the artistic use of plastic and a position towards a matter that matters to us all. Through more than 100 objects, assemblages, installations, environments and films by some 50 international artists, this catalogue explores a spectrum ranging from the euphoria of pop culture in the 1960s and the futuristic influence of the space age, to the "trash" works of Nouveau Realisme and the ecocritical positions of today. FEATURED ARTISTS: Monira Al Qadiri, Archigram, Arman, Lynda Benglis, Cesar, Christo, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Eva Hesse, Hans Hollein, Craig Kauffman, Kiki Kogelnik, Gino Marotta, James Rosenquist, Pascale Marthine Tayou and Pinar Yolda.

Brenda Draney: Drink from the river - David Garneau - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on Multilayered Memories Brenda Draney’s work explores the complex nature of intimacy. Referencing her own memories and experiences, the Canadian artist examines the layered meanings embedded in everyday motifs and situations. The cumulative portrait that emerges references a collective self that encompasses not only her own experience but that of past generations and current community members. However, instead of simply reproducing these elements, she is more interested in addressing how their meanings can shift when filtered through individual interpretation. By deliberately leaving blank spaces in her paintings, Draney leaves room for viewers to place their own narrative within her imaginary spaces and to connect to the wide range of emotions the artist subtly invokes. This richly illustrated catalogue—published in conjunction with Draney’s solo exhibition organized by The Power Plant Art Gallery in Toronto—features a selection of existing and newly commissioned works and original contributions from Canadian scholars and writers.

Lygia Pape (Bilingual edition) - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

As one of the key figures of Brazil’s Neo-Concrete movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lygia Pape developed a specific understanding of geometric abstraction that resulted in a radical new conception of concrete-constructivist art, challenging an overly rigid rationalism by moving toward more subjective, multi-sensorial modes of expression. Marking Pape’s first solo exhibition in Germany, this richly illustrated book presents the artist’s unusual creative power in all its breadth, drawing on a body of documents that is being published for the first time. Against the backdrop of the tension between Brazil’s vibrant avant-garde and the growing political repression through the military dictatorship (1964–1985), Pape’s work reflects ethical and socio-political issues and harnesses experimental explorations of not just metaphorical geometric but social space to create poetic manifestations of subtle resistance. Emphasizing the primacy of the sensorial experience of the viewers, Pape went as far as to declare them to be the actual creators of her works.

Nevin Aladag - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Nevin Aladag lets wind and rain play music. She follows the sound of traces she finds in the city and makes objects sound melodies seemingly by themselves. The result is a perceptive and always humorous "score" that has a quality that is as ironic as it is poetic. Aladag's works are represented in many international collections and are regularly shown in exhibitions and biennials worldwide. The Museum Villa Stuck is showing her most comprehensive solo presentation to date, combining famous groups of works, such as the "Music Room Athens" shown at documenta 14, with a few surprises. The accompanying catalogue offers over 200 mostly full-page illustrations. Essays by renowned art scholars such as Rachel Jans and Adam Szymczyk and a contribution by the multi-award-winning writer Ulrike Draesner, conceived especially for the book, illuminate the artist's work from different perspectives. The special embossing that Aladag developed for the cover gives the publication a special artistic touch.

Basquiat: The Modena Paintings - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

The Show that never Was Numerous publications and exhibitions have examined Jean-Michel Basquiat's extensive oeuvre that consists of more than 3000 works, this catalogue though focuses on eight paintings only: In the summer of 1982, Basquiat traveled to Modena, Italy, for one of his first solo exhibitions in Europe at the gallery of Emilio Mazzoli. Within just a few days, he painted a group of large-format paintings that surpassed his previous work not only in terms of their scale. Each at least two by four meters in size, they mark the transition from graffiti spraying in the streets of Manhattan to painting on canvas. At the same time, they reflect an artist coming into his own. The paintings - including masterpieces that today are considered pivotal and among the most outstanding of his oeuvre - have never been shown together. This catalogue revisits this crucial moment of Basquiat's career some 40 years ago and reunites them for the first time.

Robin Rhode: Memory is the Weapon (bilingual edition) - Uta Ruhkamp - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Robin Rhode’s trademark is the wall. His works are influenced by urban music culture, film, popular sports, youth culture, and traditional South African storytelling. They are created in the public space, on walls. It’s not about the statement that he leaves behind on the street, though—it’s about the pro-cess. Hence, in his visual short stories he captures the links between drawing, performance, and sculpture, step by step. No body without a line, no line without a body. With drawing as his starting point, he develops increasingly complex photo-graphic works, digital animations, performances, sculptures, and works on paper, which comprise a content-related balanc-ing act between South African history, culture, mindset, signs, and codes and the abstract language of European-Ameri-can art history. This richly illustrated catalogue accompanies Rhode’s first solo show in twelve years in Germany. Besides pictures of the art itself, the book also contains an interview, an introductory essay, and poems by South African authors, to which his work often refers.

Camille Henrot - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Milkyways is a collection of essays by artist Camille Henrot, exploring the ambivalence of motherhood and the process of creation in both art-making and life. Each chapter delivers a cosmos of references in literature, cartoons, art history, psychoanalysis, and more—from ancient maternity myths to modern maternity wards; from Marcel Proust to Maggie Nelson to Hélène Cixous. Alongside illustrations of the artist''s work in painting, drawing, and sculpture, Henrot''s perspectives in writing oscillate freely between the personal and the societal, the obvious and the more complex, the visceral and the utterly mundane.Milkyways was originally conceived for Republik magazine on invitation by Antje Stahl. Written with Jacob Bromberg, Antje Stahl, and Léa Trudel.CAMILLE HENROT (*1978, Paris) is one of the most influential voices in contemporary art today, with a practice encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and film. Inspired by references from literature, psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology and the banality of everyday life, she questions what it means to be both a private individual and a global subject in an increasingly connected and over-stimulated world. Henrot has had numerous solo exhibitions worldwide in venues including Middelheim Museum, Antwerp; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; New Museum, New York; and Art Sonje Center, Seoul. She lives and works in New York City.

Hidden Patterns - Alanna Stand - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

Accompanying the solo exhibition of Barabasi Lab at the Ludwig Museum Budapest and the ZKM in Karlsruhe, this book will be more than exhibition catalogue: it comes with a range of voices and viewpoints that give readers a sweeping view of the work Barabasi has done over the last twenty years and how it connects to art, science, and our general outlook on the world today. The Center for Complex Network Research (CCNR) at Northeastern University was founded 20 years ago and the lab is dedicated to a deeper thinking about networks—how they emerge and evolve, what they look like, and how they impact our understanding of complex systems. The backbone of this book are the extraordinary visualisations, in 2-D and 3-D, that Barabasi’s lab has evolved, and which are unique not only to his practice but to the world of network theory and science at large. A series of essays and statements by scientists and artists alike will be followed by a long, beautiful array of breathtaking plates. Given the current state of the world, the book will also explain how Barabasi’s work relates to Covid-19 and how understanding networks helps us predict and understand the spread of diseases.

Meredith Monk: Calling - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

The first visual book on the massively influential musician and interdisciplinary artist whose six-decade oeuvre unites music, movement and artComposer, performer, director, vocalist, filmmaker and choreographer, Meredith Monk has united music, theater and dance to forge a new creative idiom exploring the human voice as instrument that has proved enormously influential for musicians and artists from Bruce Nauman and Terry Riley to Björk and John Zorn. Since the 1960s, she has created performances at the Guggenheim Museum rotunda (the first artist to do so), performed in public car parks and on opera stages, and recorded numerous acclaimed albums with ECM. Her music has been used in films by Jean-Luc Godard (Nouvelle Vague), the Coen Brothers (The Big Lebowski) and David Byrne (True Stories), and she has directed two films (Ellis Island and Book of Days).This catalog is the first overview of her work, featuring previously unpublished archival material, scores, notations, drawings and photographs, as well as an insightful conversation with Monk and essays by acclaimed writers and curators such as Andrea Lissoni, Rick Moody, Timothy Morton, Teresa Retzer, Beatrix Ruf, Anna Schneider, Adam Shatz and Louise Steinman.Meredith Monk (born 1942) was born in New York City, where she still lives. She began to explore the spectrum of the human voice through abstract vocal expression in the early 1960s, and developed what became known as "extended vocal technique" in numerous solo performances, using a three-octave range. In 1968 she founded The House to promote interdisciplinary performance, and 10 years later founded the Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble. In 2015, Monk was awarded the National Medal of Arts by Barack Obama.
