The Artist in Time
The Artist in Time brings together twenty creatives from across the UK, with photographs and interviews that disclose their daily working habits and motivations. All born before 1950, this is a collective portrait of a generation who have shaped our artistic landscape. They provide a range of different answers to the question 'what makes an artist?', and a set of insights into what makes up a creative life. Giving the reader access to the studio and working spaces of a diverse group of painters, poets, choreographers, filmmakers, illustrators, musicians, photographers, sculptors, writers and creators, The Artist in Time is a handbook for creativity and inspiration, made up of artists from all backgrounds who have all in their own way shaped, and continue to shape, the creative landscape of the United Kingdom.

Quiet Revolution
Curated by Chris Fite-Wassilak, Quiet Revolution, is the inaugural Curatorial Open exhibition organised by Hayward Touring, presents lo-tech sculptural works that question the way in which we interact with our surroundings.

It includes an essay by independent curator Chris Fite-Wassilak, biographies of the artists, and seven full-colour posters of the exhibited works. Published to accompany the exhibition, touring 4 July 30 August 2009, Milton Keynes Gallery; 19 September 14 November 2009, Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston; 21 November 10 January 2010, Djanogly Art Gallery, Nottingham.
Tell Them I Said No
Essays on artists who have withdrawn from the art world or have adopted an openly antagonistic position against it. This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist's role in today's professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D'Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York.

Politics of Food

As an important document of new research and thinking around the subject, this book, copublished with Delfina Foundation, offers reflections on food by prominent artists, anthropologists, and activists, among others. In interviews, chefs, policy makers, and agronomists critically assess and illuminate the ways the arts confront food-related issues, ranging from the infrastructure of...
Cover to Cover
Tiré du site Internet de Printed Matter: "A performative exercise and masterclass in "photo-bookmaking", Cover to Cover follows artist Michael Snow through a series of disorienting, domestic self-portraits. Snow, who remains quietly composed throughout, is depicted in various ordinary scenarios made ethereal by artful gestures in composition and lighting. Bookended by two closed doors on front and back cover, Snow makes obvious his intent to focus not on beginning or end, but the transitional space between."
The Glasgow Effect
How would your career, social life, family ties, carbon footprint and mental health be affected if you could not leave the city where you live? Artist Ellie Harrison sparked a fast-and-furious debate about class, capitalism, art, education and much more, when news of her year-long project The Glasgow Effect went viral at the start of 2016. Named after the term used to describe Glasgow's mysteriously poor public health and funded to the tune of £15,000 by Creative Scotland, this controversial 'durational performance' centred on a simple proposition – that the artist would refuse to travel beyond Glasgow's city limits, or use any vehicles except her bike, for a whole calendar year.
