Reclaiming Artistic Research
This expanded second edition of Reclaiming Artistic Research explores artistic research in dialogue with 24 artists worldwide, reclaiming it from academic associations of the term. Embracing artists' dynamic engagement with other fields, it foregrounds the material, spatial, embodied, organizational, choreographic, and technological ways of knowing and unknowing specific to contemporary artistic inquiry. The second edition features a new text by the author and four new artist dialogues to reflect on the changing stakes of artistic research in the wake of the global pandemic, a widespread reckoning with social justice, the growing role of artificial intelligence, and the urgent reality of climate change. LUCY COTTER (*1973, Ireland) is a writer, curator, and artist. She was Curator of the Dutch Pavilion, 57th Venice Biennale, 2017, and Curator in Residence at Oregon Center for Contemporary Art 2021–22. The inaugural director of the Master Artistic Research, Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, Cotter has lectured internationally, most recently at Portland State University. She holds a project residency at Stelo Arts and Culture Foundation 2023-24.

Abstraction & Economy
Wider das Regime der Akkumulation und Abstraktion Die Anthologie untersucht das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Abstraktion und Ökonomie aus Perspektiven der Kunst, Kunsttheorie, Kunstgeschichte sowie Recht, Soziologie, Philosophie und Ökonomie. Sie stellt Fragen zu aktuellen Herausforderungen einer globalen kapitalistischen Wirtschaft mit Anspruch auf expansives Wachstum im Verhältnis zu Ästhetik, Technologie und Demokratie. In theoretischen und künstlerischen Beiträgen wird das Verhältnis von Abstraktion und Ökonomie diskutiert. Im Fokus stehen die Frage nach der Rolle der Kunst zwischen Konkretion und Abstraktion, formalistische Ansätze der Kunsttheorie sowie soziale und ökonomisc...
Figures of Speech
The KGB grooms a charming young American to run for president Although in the mid-1940s no one had ever heard of JFK, Jack Adams's mother insisted her new son be christened John Fitzgerald. Years after his parents' death, Jack learns the reason for his name: a packet of photos showing his mother in bed with young John Kennedy. As a student at Columbia University, Jack demonstrates that he inherited more than JFK's good looks. His irresistible charisma and political instinct make him a natural campus leader, but he has his sights set on something bigger than the student council. Young Jack Adams wants to be president of the United States, and the Soviet Union is prepared to help. A KGB spy named Dmitri recruits Jack, promising him the presidency in exchange for treason. Dmitri guides Jack for decades, putting him in a position to become the largest intelligence coup in history--unless the candidate's libido derails him first.
Of this Tale, I Cannot Guarantee a Single Word
Accompanying catalogue for 'Of this Tale, I cannot guarantee a single word', an exhibition curated by graduating students from the Curating Contemporary Art Department. Exploring the way in which stories are told, 'Of this Tale, I cannot guarantee a single word' looked to literature, comic books, cinema, documentary and oral traditions. Equally the writing in this catalogue not only explores the artists in the show, but also the different genres and media through which we come to learn the stories that form our shared history.
Practices of Abstract Art
Recent decades have seen a renewed interest in the phenomenon of abstract art, particularly regarding its ability to speak to the political, social, and cultural conditions of our times. This collection of essays, which looks at historical examples of artistic practice from the early pioneers of abstraction to late modernism, investigates the ambivalent role that abstraction has played in the visual arts and cultures of the last hundred years. In addition, it explores various theoretical and critical narratives that seek to articulate new perspectives on its legacy in the visual arts. From metaphysical considerations and philosophical reflections to debates on interculturality and global perspectives, the contributors examine and reconsider abstraction in the visual arts from a contemporary point of view that acknowledges the many social, economic, cultural, and political aspects of artistic practice. As such, the volume progressively expands the boundaries of thinking about abstract art by engaging it in its increasingly diverse cultural environment.
Hélio Oiticica and Neville D'Almeida
An illustrated study that casts a new light on Oiticica's most important work of “quasi-cinema” on its fortieth anniversary. Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980) occupies a central position in the Latin American avant-garde of the postwar era. Associated with the Rio de Janeiro-based neo-concretist movement at the beginning of his career, Oiticica moved from object production to the creation of chromatically opulent and sensually engulfing large-scale installations or wearable garments. Building on the idea for a film by Brazilian underground filmmaker Neville D'Almeida, Oiticica developed the concept for Block-Experiments in Cosmococa—Program in Progress (1973–1974) as an “open program...
