Kate Davis
This is the first monograph produced on the Glasgow based artist Kate Davis. It charts the development of her work over the last six years culminating in a two person show with Faith Wilding at the CCA Glasgow in April 2010. Through this period, Davis' work has evolved into the production of bodies of work, creating carefully composed environments which incorporate drawings, collages and sculptural objects. These installations seek to pose questions, or seek to manifest Davis' responses to the practice of other artists, whilst commenting on the ever-shifting political, sociological and cultural environments in which art is produced. The monograph will feature a newly commissioned essay by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith and is designed by Robert Johnston. Co-published by the CCA, Glasgow and Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow and supported by The Scottish Arts Council.
An Experiment with Time
A fascinating look at author J. W. Dunne’s controversial model of multidimensional time, based on precognitive dreams. The proposed concept accounted for insights into higher consciousness and many of life’s mysteries.
Political Animal
Political Animal draws on the animal fable of both the Indian and European traditions to make an existential examination of the bestial and instinctual sides of our political and civic life in word and image.Prabhakar Pachpute's artworks are inspired by the work of writer Johnny Rodger, who has been experimenting with a type of modern prose-poem fable in order to come at the question of the 'contemporary' through the angle of literary form.This collection of twenty modern fables takes the simple but fantastical elements of the conventional talking-animal fable and reworks them with political complexity in an engaged and discursive existential style which creates its own literary space. A long term collaboration between a curator/editor Viviana Checchia - an artist and a writer, the work examines how diverse formations of the collective - the mob, the pack, the crowd - pay into everyday behaviours.Accompanies am exhibition of the same name at Reid Corridor Gallery, Glasgow School of Art, 21 June - 4 August 2019.

Toby Paterson
A maze of images of modernist buildings, idealised structures and architectural fragments in a specially created installation for the Fruitmarket Gallery, cleverly shows the extraordinary relationship that artist, Toby Paterson, has to the built environment.
Olivia Plender
As the first significant overview of the work by artist Olivia Plender, this monograph navigates through the evolving attitudes to historical and contemporary forms of communication and education that her research-based practice has explored for the last ten years. From the reappraisal of Plender's project Google Office (2010), in which artistic agency meets Liberation Management, to rethinking of the Open University as a model where the educational role of television and its relation to the public was reconfigured, her work is a critical envisioning of labor's extensive influence; addressing the work ethic embedded into mainstream educational systems during the industrial era, and the alter...
Scottish Art since 1960
Craig Richardson here addresses key areas of cultural politics and identity in a way that not only illuminates the development of Scottish art, but teases out another strand of the plurality of developments which led to the success of artists throughout the UK in the 1990s. It is of the highest relevance whether one's perspective is that of the development of the Scottish art, British art or European art of this period. The book adds significantly to our knowledge of the art of this period in a way that will aid not only our historical understanding but our understanding of the dynamics of art practice today. Providing an analysis and including discussion (interviewing artists, curators and ...
Painting Not Painting
This survey highlights the work of three contemporary artists with widely differing practices, who stand either inside or outside the current broad definitions of what painting is. This title accompanies the exhibition at Tate St Ives, Spring 2003
Theatrum Botanicum
This publication emerges from Uriel Orlow's Theatrum Botanicum (2015-18), a multi-faceted project encompassing film, sound, photography, and installation, which looks to the botanical world as a stage for politics. Working from the dual vantage points of South Africa and Europe, the project considers plants as both witnesses to, and dynamic agents in, history. It links nature and humans, rural and cosmopolitan medicine, tradition and modernity across different geographies, histories, and systems of knowledge--exploring the variety of curative, spiritual, and economic powers of plants. The project addresses "botanical nationalism" and "flower diplomacy" during apartheid; plant migration; the ...
