Blasted Allegories
One of the most important contemporary art collections in Switzerland, the Ringier Collection is presented here through a selection of more than 400 works from artists ranging from John Baldessari (from whom the title of this book has been borrowed), Richard Prince, and Fischli / Weiss, to Urs Fischer, Rodney Graham, Karen Kilimnik, and Trisha Donnelly. Organised as a visual essay rather than an exhaustive account of the last two decades, the publication attempts to map the contemporary art scene by following alternative as well as mainstream currents. Edited by Beatrix Ruf, Director of Kunsthalle Zürich and Curator of the Collection, the book gathers together statements on different topics particularly relevant to understanding the present contexts of a scene whose main debates are often overshadowed by its globalised and market-driven aspects.

General Idea
A massive artist's book-cum-overview of the revered and subversive queer Canadian collective, exquisitely designed in collaboration with AA Bronson This 768-page volume stands as the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson and active until the deaths of Partz and Zontal in 1994.

The third part includes a plate section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea's practice. Facing-page comparative images show wo...

Panta Rhei - Keith Tyson
Panta Rhei, Recent Paintings features new paintings by Turner Prize-winner Keith Tyson, continuing his interest in the intersecting systems and networks that make up the universe. Panta Rhei, which translates as 'everything flows' in Ancient Greek, embodes the idea of a world in perpetual motion, a fundamental concept for Tyson. Drawing parallels between previous bodies of work, Tyson explains: 'In the past, I've always tried to represent what I call the "Field", which for me, is the myriad of networks - whether physical, conceptual or emotional - that make the present moment. All these systems combined form our interdependent world. I attempted to reflect these associations through sculptures, in the immersive installation Large Field Array or on a smaller scale, through the fluid dynamics of the Nature Paintings. This time, I wanted to gather the ideas and techniques I'd learnt in previous pieces and work exclusively with paint to compose visual poems.'0Exhibition: Pace Gallery, London, UK (07.02-28.03.2013).
