Abstract

Taking the work back to the drawing board, constantly marking and erasing the canvas, stubbornly penetrating it and inhabiting it to the point of melting into it, these are the features and ‘line of flight’ of Angel Vergara’s magnum opus. Indeed, Vergara’s original act, initiated in the 1980s, of covering himself with a white sheet – as if it were a blank canvas or a ghostly shroud – filters and transposes into sketches a whole urban ecology and an economy of human exchanges (be they commercial, cultural, political or artistic). Thus, in addition to drawing on the agility of the brush, the fluidity of colour and the freedom of a canvas sometimes shared on the ground with other participants, Straatman, the artist’s alter ego, resorts to the ingenuity of multiple hybrid devices and assemblages to produce work in the form of an allegory of painting and in direct contact with reality.

Abstract

Inserts in Real Time is the first monograph dedicated to the performance work of the artist Dora García from the past twenty years. At the heart of this book is a Chronology of all García’s performances to date—listed, illustrated, described, and contextualized. This body of work is framed by three newly commissioned texts—by art historian Sven Lütticken, performance theorist Bojana Cvejić, and Dora García herself, as well as a new conversation between the artist and curator Joanna Zielińska. An Appendix of Selected Scripts makes this archive an especially vivid relay of her decades of public experimentation, provocation, and activation.

Abstract

Dan Graham was a contrarian. His art confronted viewers with a multiplicity of possible perceptions and intersubjective experiences. Some Rockin’ was his last project and—through conversations with friends, artists, architects, curators, and former assistants—articulates his sensitivity to context, media, and people. The interviews address rock music and urbanism, humor and astrology, history and the hybrid form. Mediating historical and social experience was a major concern of his. “The Museum in Evolution,” an essay he finished just before his death, and published here, highlights that nothing is final in becoming. Rather, it allows for: Some Rockin’.

Abstract

Curtis Cuffie (1955-2002) was an artist from Harstville, South Carolina, who found local notoriety in the 1990s for the thrilling and surprising way he adorned the streets of New York's East Village. His on-the-spot sculptures were woven into fences, hung from walls and sprawled along the Bowery and Cooper Square. Making use of whatever he could find to fashion works that were imaginative and real, Cuffie took the street for all it could provide: materials, an audience, a rhythm and a sense of the strange unexpectedness of public life. He was unhoused for stretches of his life, and his sculptures were viewed near to his outdoor quarters. Cuffie's art was often removed by city sanitation, but new work would spring up soon after. Though little of his art survives today, a trove of photographs documenting it keeps him in the present. This publication, the first on Cuffie, seeks to honor the artist and rectify his omission by going backward to recover that which has been left behind. It places Cuffie's own photographs and those of his companion Katy Able alongside pictures that photographers Margaret Morton and Tom Warren took of Cuffie and his art on the streets.

Abstract

This unique, visually exciting look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture—the one constant is change.Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, Temporary Pleasure shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before.Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and city: Italy’s politically radical clubs of the ‘60s; New York City’s disco scene; Detroit and Chicago’s house and techno paradises; Ibiza’s counterculture communal retreats; Britain’s rave culture; and Berlin’s techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester’s legendary venue The Haçienda.As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.

Abstract

"The Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival is an artwork, a sculpture, created by Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn in a peripheral borough of Amsterdam’s south-east known as the Bijlmer in 2009. This book recounts the event through the eyes of its “Ambassador”, art historian Vittoria Martini, who was invited by the artist to be an eyewitness to the existence of this “precarious” work. A term Hirschhorn sees as positive and creative: a means of asserting the importance of the moment and of the place, of asserting the Here and Now to touch eternity and universality. Appreciating the art historian’s presence as a central element of his sculpture, Hirschhorn consciously challenged the certainties of the profession by empowering and activating the role, thus leading Martini to find a new working methodology that she calls “precarious art history”. Accompanying the readers through her experience of the physical existence of The Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival, Martini’s commentary leads to the profound understanding of how a work that no longer exists physically, can live on in the mind—elsewhere, at some other time—because in the meantime it has become universal."

Abstract

Combining a genuine interest in contemporary and historical architecture with a desire to make sculpture functional, these five projects form a distinct body of work within Philip Metten’s practice: ‘Bar’ (2013), ‘153. Stanton’ (2015), ‘The Corner Show’ (2015), ‘Cinema’ (2017), and ‘Essen’ (2016–2021). Wouter Davidts’s analysis of ‘Untitled’ (2014) sets the tone, a work that seems to anticipate the complex interplay between drawing, sculpture, and architecture apparent in Metten’s other projects, where he gives spaces with a distinct social programme and scale a sculptural transformation. With photos by Jan Kempenaers and drawings by Kris Kimpe and Samyra Moumouh.

Abstract

Michel François’s studio is like a garden—un jardin contre nature—in which objects hang, transform, appear, disappear. Through minimal gesture with maximum effect, François transforms seemingly meaningless objects and materials into meaning-laden objects. Their spiritual character makes us pause in amazement at the artist’s impact on his surroundings, but in a larger context also on our own influence on the world we inhabit. In an agonisingly slow manner, a black block of marble is dripped with vinegar from above via an infuse, causing the surface to slowly burn and dissolve—la torture Chinois. Neon lights are laid in long strips on the ground, after which the artist walks over them, leaving a trail of destruction. A schematic view of the armed forces in Syria is drawn on the wall in chalk. Hundreds of dandelions are hung inverted from the ceiling at their most vulnerable moment—PAS TOMBER !. Michel François conceives exhibitions as ‘total works of art’: his works occupy the entire space, and the exhibition space becomes an extension of the studio. Works become, as they are combined and arranged, new installations that evoke new internal associations. The book Contre nature is the exhibition catalogue accompanying the leading Belgian artist’s eponymous retro/prospective exhibition at Bozar – Centre for Fine Arts Brussels—and casts a look at his artistic career of 40 years. The book follows a similar structure to the exhibition and highlights the many aspects of François’ work: sculpture, installation, drawings, video and photography.
