The works of painter and sculptress June Leaf are heavily conditioned by one another. Her drawings and painting are always sketches for her sculptures; the sculptures, in turn, serve as models for her works with brush and pencil. This catalogue displays some of the most intriguing works of this gifted artist.
Roger Ballen - Call of the Void is the eighth in a series of exhibitions at Museum Tinguely under the title Danse macabre with works responding to Jean Tinguely's late work Mengele - Dance of Death, shown in direct proximity to it. In his work, Ballen examines the human psyche and asks both himself and the viewer questions about being and becoming. Ballen writes: My show that I have chosen to title Call of the Void is an attempt to come to terms with what I believe to be the most central questions in human existence namely, where did we come from? What are we here for? And where do we go once we die? Whilst I do not claim to provide answers or even questions to these most profound and difficult issues, it is my hope that my exhibition will challenge the viewer's perceptions and consequently set up a process of self-examination leading to a more inquisitive state of self-consciousness.Å.

This curious cul-de-sac hidden away in Montparnasse served as home and atelier to some 220 artists, from academic sculptor Alfred Boucher to Argentine performance artist Marta Minujin. If Constantin Brancusi was its most famous resident, its most infamous was Madame Steinheil, mistress and maybe murderer of the French President whose artist-husband also met a brutal end, turning the Impasse Ronsin into one of the most notorious crime scenes of the early 20th century.

This new addition to the AFI Film Readers series brings together original scholarship on animation in contemporary moving image culture, from classic experimental and independent shorts to digital animation and installation. The collection - that is also a philosophy of animation - foregrounds new critical perspectives on animation, connects them to historical and contemporary philosophical and theoretical contexts and production practice, and expands the existing canon. Throughout, contributors offer an interdisciplinary roadmap of new directions in film and animation studies, discussing animation in relationship to aesthetics, ideology, philosophy, historiography, visualization, genealogies, spectatorship, representation, technologies, and material culture.

Len Lye was one of the most important experimental filmmakers of the 1930s to 1950s. At the same time, initially in New Zealand and Australia, later in London and in New York City, he created a fascinating body of work embracing all artistic disciplines which the exhibition showcases in all its variety and breadth. The three-volume catalogue presents the exhibited works and new texts by leading experts on Len Lye in one volume each. The central volume is the first facsimile edition of his Totem & Taboo sketchbook.
