Sean Scully
A catalogue of the recent exhibition featuring Scully's 'Landline' paintings, which address the artist's preoccupation with the horizon. Sean Scully is one of the most important abstract artists of our time. His new publication, Landlines and other recent works, accompanies the artist's major solo exhibition at De Pont Museum, Tilburg, and centres on three important bodies of work: Doric, Landline and Eleuthera, Scully's first representational works in half a century. The publication also presents a generous selection of previously unseen early works, illustrating the world-renowned painter's development as an artist. High-quality photography illustrates the artworks both individually and in situ at the De Pont Museum's unique exhibition space. The book also includes three exemplary pieces of critical writing; Rudi Fuchs gives a rigorous analysis of Scully's robust and architectural Doric series of paintings, Kelly Grovier contributes an extensive, melodic text tracing the deep roots of Scully's recent figurative paintings, while Declan Long reflects upon Scully's undulating Landline series of paintings.

The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Irish Theatre and Performance
This Handbook offers a multiform sweep of theoretical, historical, practical and personal glimpses into a landscape roughly characterised as contemporary Irish theatre and performance. Bringing together a spectrum of voices and sensibilities in each of its four sections — Histories, Close-ups, Interfaces, and Reflections — it casts its gaze back across the past sixty years or so to recall, analyse, and assess the recent legacy of theatre and performance on this island. While offering information, overviews and reflections of current thought across its chapters, this book will serve most handily as food for thought and a springboard for curiosity. Offering something different in its mix of themes and perspectives, so that previously unexamined surfaces might come to light individually and in conjunction with other essays, it is a wide-ranging and indispensable resource in Irish theatre studies.
Jan Pleitner: The Temperatures of Time
Jan Pleitner, born in Oldenburg in 1984, is a contemporary painter. After studying at the art academy Düsseldorf the artist is living and working in the Region of Ostfriesland in the North of Germany. He describes his psychedelic, abstract painting as "neo-expressionist" or as "scifi-expressionism". His processual and physical pictorial invention creates its own contemporary position somewhere between the waves and impulses of the subconscious and logical concepts of perception. Painting that cannot easily be subordinated to a category and tries in a very idiosyncratic way to open doors for a new consciousness. "The Temperatures of Time" is the artist's first publication that provides a retrospective overview of his early work from 2004-2020 with key exhibitions, main works and important stations in his creative work. The book is accompanied by an interview with Hannah Eckstein and texts by Christian Malycha and Declan Long.
