Jennifer Tee
Accept and submit unreservedly or walk away: these are the choices that Jennifer Tee's work presents to its viewers. With an "all-over" approach, the Dutch-born artist draws from a variety of disciplines and installations that integrate video, objects, photographs, and text. Tee often uses autobiographic material in her work. In her "Down the Chimney" exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, she displayed a video based on stories that her closest family members had kept to themselves--stories that they never wanted to tell her. This book provides insight into this personal and autobiographical body of work, and engages its readers in the narration of worlds created within.
Valérie Mannaerts
An Exhibition--Another Exhibition is the first monograph of the work of Belgian artist Valérie Mannaerts. The book catalogues two solo exhibitions that took place in 2010--"Blood Flow" at Extra City Kunsthal Antwerpen, and "Diamond Dancer" at de Appel arts centre. Dynamically collaging across mediums--from paint to bronze, papier-mâché to concrete--Mannaerts playfully arranges sculptural elements to create spatial installations, scenographies without stages. As scales oscillate and materials remain staunchly mercurial, the works exist in a space of deliberate ambiguity, sitting on the threshold between object and image. For the two exhibitions, Mannaerts manipulated the gallery spaces through the idiosyncratic positioning of diverse spatial objects, creating fields of tension and obscurity, surreal situations that asked viewers to decode the objects staring back at them. The monograph includes an essay by Anselm Franke, a conversation between the artist and Ann Demeester, and images and illustrations of the two exhibitions. Co-published with de Appel arts centre and Extra City Kunsthal Antwerpen Contributors Ann Demeester, Anselm Franke, and Valérie Mannaerts

Curatorial Education
This third edition in the series is a result of the 'Curatorial Programme' at De Appel in Amsterdam, which contributes significantly to the Netherlands as a focus of research and expertise on curating. The 24 comprehensive essays herein map the history of curatorial programmes worldwide and suggest possible directions for the future of this now greatly expanded field. Personal testimonials of Curatorial Programme alumni underscore one of its most important aspects: how knowledge is transferred to the students and how this experience shapes the practice of emerging curators. With contributions by Saskia Bos, Ann Goldstein, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Seth Siegelaub and others.
Rod Bianco
This book accompanies the summer 2010 exhibition by Sydney born, Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard at de Appel art centre, Amsterdam. Amongst Melgaard's fascinations are provocative and violent subcultures, deceit, and fictional narratives and personas. Neither an alter-ego nor avatar, Rod Bianco is Melgaard's latest fictional projection.'Super normal' is a confrontational celebration of Bianco's life, travels, outpourings and memories, collated and presented by Melgaard and other artists. Photography, diaries, found images, a novel, and a new series of photorealistic paintings, are juxtaposed with Melgaard's vigorous, expressionistic drawings and iconography, accompanied by an essay by Ann Demeester. Exhibition: De Appel, Amsterdam (19.6-5.9.2010).
The Transhistorical Museum
In the 21st century we have witnessed a significant expansion in the field of transhistorical exhibition practice. A range of curatorial efforts have emerged in which objects and artefacts from various periods and art historical and cultural contexts are combined in display, in an effort to question and expand traditional museological notions such as chronology, context, and category. Such experiments in transcending art historical boundaries can result in fresh insights into the workings of entrenched historical presumptions, providing a space to reassess interpretations of individual objects. With contributions by Mieke Bal, Hendrik Folkerts, Nicola Setari, Maria Iñigo Clavo, and others.
The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s)
How curating has changed art and how art has changed curating: an examination of the emergence contemporary curatorship. Once considered a mere caretaker for collections, the curator is now widely viewed as a globally connected auteur. Over the last twenty-five years, as international group exhibitions and biennials have become the dominant mode of presenting contemporary art to the public, curatorship has begun to be perceived as a constellation of creative activities not unlike artistic praxis. The curator has gone from being a behind-the-scenes organizer and selector to a visible, centrally important cultural producer. In The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s), Paul O'Neil...
Nicolas Floc'h
"Dans l'ensemble de sa pratique, Floc'h analyse le concept de transformation : il observe les changements et les transitions, révèle comment une chose se traduit d'un état vers un autre et tente d'établir une distinction entre ce qui est éphémère et ce qui est éternel, ce qui disparaît et ce qui demeure, à chaque état de la métamorphose ... (Ann Demeester, Extrait de l'introduction du livre "Nicolas Floc'h in other words", Edition ROMA, 2005).
