Résumé : This third publication dedicated to the artist’s sculpture follows 'Sculpture 1969-1985' and 'Sculpture 1986-2000'. It guides the reader chronologically through the genesis of Cragg’s most recent works and traces the relationships between them, revealing the artist’s rigorous studio practice.Cragg built upon his already substantial body of work during this period, and his creative energy and evolution have often been the focus of art criticism. This volume includes essays by Demosthenes Davvetas, Patrick Elliott, Catherine Grenier and Jon Wood that shed new light on the sculptor’s work.

Résumé : This mid-career survey of the work of acclaimed South Korean artist Lee Bul explores the artist's extensive investigation into the body and its relationship to architectural space. Over a 30-year career that spans South Korea's transition from military dictatorship to democracy, Lee Bul has explored questions of intimacy, gender, technology and class through a focus on the body. Drawing on science fiction, bioengineering and visionary architecture, as well as Japanese anime and manga, her work includes performance, drawing, painting and large-scale immersive installations.

Résumé : “Congo Stars” does not attempt to trace the historic development or even deliver a definition of what popular painting in the Congo is. It is in fact much more about the dimension of fiction in the writing of its history. Processes of nation building, facets of social order or the realities of everyday life are the major themes of popular art in the Congo. Painters see themselves as reporters or chroniclers of the everyday. They tell stories and thus offer an alternative historiography, confronting the traditional colonial narrative. “Congo Stars” places these popular painters alongside artists who work with installations and conceptually with photo and film, while often tackle the same themes. Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée au Kunsthaus Graz, du 22 septembre 2018 au 27 janvier 2019, et à la Kunsthalle Tübingen, du 9 mars au 1er juillet 2019

Résumé : Ce catalogue accompagne une exposition à la fondation Lafayette Anticipations à l'été 2020. Pour cette première grande exposition parisienne, l'artiste s'interroge sur ce qui fait de nous des êtres humains et demande comment repenser notre condition. À travers cinq installations vidéo et un ensemble de sculptures, elle explore nos relations au paysage, à la fiction, à l'enfance, à la spiritualité et voit dans chacun de ces sujets l'occasion d'enquêter sur nos manières d'être au monde.

Résumé : Marlene Dumas (b. 1953, Cape Town) is widely regarded as one of today’s most important painters. For over 30 years, her paintings and drawings have confronted existential topics, often referencing motifs from art history as well as current political themes. She draws inspiration from images she finds in magazines and newspapers, or from personal photographs she takes of her loved ones. Through her work she endeavours to explore and reveal the social, political, psychological and emotional aspects of an image.This catalogue presents an overview of all her works that have been exhibited in Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp during its 25-year collaboration with the artist. Dumas has put on five solo shows in the gallery since 1993: Give the people what they want, Time and Again, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Twice and Double Takes. The publication contains texts written by the artist, as well as newspaper articles and archive photos.

Résumé : En mai 2022, Berlin, la ville de Georg Grosz, accueille l'ouverture d'un musée entièrement dédié à lui, à la durée de vie planifiée de 5 ans, le Little Grosz Museum. La première exposition programmée, Gross Before Grosz, se concentre sur les années de formation de l'artiste, alors qu'il était encore connu sous le nom de Georg Ehrenfried Gross. Dix expositions sont prévues, et chacune d'entre elles examinera un aspect rarement étudié de son travail.

Résumé : This publication is published on the occasion of the exhibition "Tacita Dean" at Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean. The book is dedicated to "The Dante Project", a collaboration between choreographer Wayne McGregor, composer Thomas Adès and artist Tacita Dean, staged at the Royal Opera House in London in October 2021. Based on Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy (1308-21), the ballet and Dean's designs formed three distinctive parts mirroring Dante's journey through the realms of the dead - Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. This book, illustrated with an array of photographs from the performance itself, includes an essay by art historian Briony Fer, which places Dean's body of work in the context of Dante's long influence on artists.

Résumé : This publication is published on the occasion of the exhibition "Tacita Dean" at Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean. The book is dedicated to "One Hundred and Fifty Years of Painting" (2021). Tacita Dean knew that fellow artists Luchita Hurtado and Julie Mehretu shared a birthday and were exactly fifty years apart in age. Realising they were going to turn collectively one hundred and fifty years old in 2020, she filmed them in conversation in Luchita Hurtado's Santa Monica apartment. The resulting 16mm film "One Hundred and Fifty Years of Painting" (2021) is a moment in time. In the sun-filled room, both painters talk freely together about life, death, motherhood and painting. This richly illustrated book includes a full transcription of their conversation and an essay by LACMA associate curator Jennifer King.

Résumé : Dan Flavin began work with fluorescent light tubes from the early 1960s on; arranged in so-called 'situations', he would then further develop them into series and large-scale installations. The colours and dimensions of the materials he used were prescribed by industrial production. Flooded in light, viewers themselves become part of the works: The space, along with the objects within it, are set in relation to each other and thus become immersive experiences of art triggering sensual, almost spiritual experiences. Flavin liberated colour from the two-dimensionality of painting. The catalogue places emphasis on looking at Flavin's oeuvre in a less familiar setting: His pieces, although initially without clearly recognisable signature, frequently make reference in their titles to concrete events, such as wartime atrocities or police violence, or are dedicated to other artists - as in the work untitled.

Résumé : Cette agence très célèbre, localisée à Tokyo et fondée en 1992 par Yoshiharu Tsukamoto et Momoyo Kaijima, est une des agences les plus admirées aujourd'hui.

Résumé : Accompagnant l’exposition Cruising Bye, ce catalogue prolonge l’expérience de maraude (au sens où il est autant question de vagabondage sexuel et de patrouille policière que de chiens errants et de batifolages queer), à laquelle nous convie Aline Bouvy au MACS. Illustré d’un reportage photographique complet de l’exposition permettant une plongée au cœur du travail de l’artiste, il comporte également une importante interview d'Aline Bouvy au sujet de sa pratique et de ses sources d’inspiration réalisée par la critique d’art Milena Oldfield et un essai écrit par Denis Gielen, commissaire de l’exposition.

Résumé : Une quarantaine de sculptures, de dessins, de gravures et de photographies illustrent la rétrospective de quelque quarante années de travail de cet artiste né au Pays de Galles en 1949.

Résumé : Etel Adnan, Simone Fattal and Robert Wilson create a universe where poetry, sound and sculpture overlap, as well as a framework that enables them to construct situations in which memories are transformed into objects, objects into memories, fiction into reality, and reality into fiction. It is based on a succession of these shared memories and experiences, manifested in the form of a mental landscape, a non-linear narrative and a choreography filled with both immutable and variable elements. The thrust behind it all is the reading of a poem by Etel Adnan, ‘Surge’. The book include poetry, essays and artworks.

Résumé : This is the first major monographic publication dedicated to the work of Irma Blank so far, gathering a large selection of works from all of her series, from the 1960s to the most recent ones initiated in 2017. Blank reflects Irma Blank's dedication to a minimal process of writing without words that questions the boundaries of communication and expression. She found out that "there is no such thing as the right word" and started off working on her first abstract series at the end of the 1960s. The book is a chronological journey through her cyclical work, in which each series is an almost ascetic dedication to an emptied form of calligraphy. Some of the works are reproduced on a 1:1 scale allowing the reader a more intimate contact with the work.

Résumé : Le catalogue présente le travail de six artistes du Ghana et de la diaspora. "Ghana freedom" examine les héritages et les trajectoires de cette liberté à travers l'art de Felicia Abban, de John Akomfrah, d'El Anatsui, d'Ibrahim Mahama, de Selasi Awusi Sosu et de Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, dont les pratiques uniques sont explorées dans des textes récemment commandés par une génération de jeunes critiques d'art ghanéens. (d'après l'éditeur)

Résumé : One of the pioneers of the British Black Arts Movement, Lubaina Himid first came to prominence in the 1980s when she began organising exhibitions of work by her peers, whom she felt were under-represented in the contemporary art scene. Himid’s work challenges the stereotypical depictions of black figures in art history, foregrounding the contribution of the African diaspora to Western culture.'Invisible Strategies' brings together a wide range of Himid’s paintings from the 1980s to the present day, as well as sculptures, ceramics and works on paper. The exhibition opens with Himid’s monumental Freedom and Change, 1984, which appropriates and transforms the female figures from Picasso’s 'Two Women Running on the Beach' ('The Race'), 1922, into black women, powerfully and humorously subverting one of the most canonical paintings in Western art history. Containing many works shown for the first time in decades alongside pieces never-before seen in a public gallery, this exhibition highlights Himid’s consistently thought-provoking and distinctive visual style.
