Edward Krasinski
Edward Krasiński (1925-2004) is one of the most significant Eastern European artists of the twentieth century. The collection of works in this book tracks his unique approach to art and exhibition-making, from the reduction of sculpture to mere line, thorugh the signature use of blue adhesive tape to immersive installations. Essays by Jean-François Chevrier, Kasia Reszisz, Karol Sienkiewicz and Stephanie Straine situate Krasiński within the context of the avant-garde tradition and global minimalism and unveil performative aspects of his work. This volume serves as an excellent introduction to the output of this important and original artist.

Demarco's Scotland
Scotland's greatest gift to the world has been itself, its culture, its creativity, the extraordinary ability of its people to integrate and celebrate what truly matters in global terms, friendship and decency. Add in our greatest export, Scotch whisky; our iconic clan and family tartans; our golf courses and musical traditions, and you have an identity that is instantly recognisable and internationally respected and loved. Wear a kilt in Manhattan or Paris and you make friends for life. Art, culture and history circulate the lives of Richard Demarco and Roddy Martine.

Mapping Krasinski's Studio
This intimate publication documents an iconic art space of the 20th century, the Warsaw apartment and studio of Polish artists Henryk Stazewski (1894-1988) and Edward Krasinski (1925-2004)--a lively artistic and social space shared by multiple artists. Referencing Daniel Spoerri's landmark artist's book An Anecdoted Topography of Chance (1962), it interweaves a detailed photographic survey of the studio--still preserved today as it was after Krasinski's death in 2004--by Polish photographer Pawel Bownik with numerous short stories written by relatives, artists, critics, curators and friends of both artists in commemoration of the importance of this location in the definition and social life of the Polish avant-garde, and in the dialogue between Western and Eastern European contemporary art scenes. Contributors include Daniel Buren, Andrzej Przywara, Anka Ptaszkowska, Joann Mytleowska, Adam Szymczyk and many others.
The Post-Industrial Landscape as Site for Creative Practice
This book brings together experts in the fields of art history, visual arts, music, cultural geography, curatorial practice and landscape architecture to explore the role of material memory in the post-industrial landscape and the ways in which that landscape can act as a site for many forms of creative practice. It examines the role of material memory in the siting of public artworks and politically inspired installation art within the socio-economic post-industrial landscape. The post-industrial ruin as a place for innovation in the curatorial process is also investigated, as are social memory and the complexities of inscribing memory into places. A number of chapters focus on photography ...
Avant-garde in the Bloc
"Avant-garde in the Bloc" is a publication devoted to an eponymous conference dedicated to the oeuvre and studio of Henryk Stazewski (1894-1988) and Edward Krasinski (1925-2004) and the founding of the Institute of the Avant-garde established in the two artists' studio. The issues related to the studio/apartment of Henryk Stazewski and Edward Krasinski refer to "other spaces" of art and art history in Poland after 1945, which invalidate binary oppositions of private/public, interior/exterior, history/memory. The publication reflects upon the history and the artistic and social phenomenon of the studio, as well as to new research perspectives related to the work of Henryk Stazewski and Edward Krasinski.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Polish literature and European history.
