State of Mind
State of Mind, the lavishly illustrated companion book to the exhibition of the same name, investigates California’s vital contributions to Conceptual art—in particular, work that emerged in the late 1960s among scattered groups of young artists. The essays reveal connections between the northern and southern California Conceptual art scenes and argue that Conceptualism’s experimental practices and an array of then-new media—performance, site-specific installations, film and video, mail art, and artists’ publications—continue to exert an enormous influence on the artists working today.

Hands on
Published to accompany the exhibition Bernard Frize: Hands On at the Ikon Gallery, 3 June - 20 July 2003, this is the most comprehensive exhibition of work by French artist Bernard Frize in the UK to date. Combining recent painting with rarely seen sculpture and photography, audiences will have an opportunity to see the impressive stylistic and technical diversity of his work. Frize has likened his various ways of making work to recipes. More often than not he chooses paint as his main ingredient and then it becomes a question of process and editing. Frize makes crucial decisions as to how to proceed with his painting and the rest is virtually automatic. The repetition with which paint is applied to the canvas leaves no room for any new inspiration that will significantly effect the outcome.
Foul Perfection
Critical writings and commentary by the Los Angeles based artist Mike Kelley. The work of artist Mike Kelley (b. 1954) embraces performance, installation, drawing, painting, video, and sculpture. Drawing distinctively on high art and vernacular traditions, including historical research, popular culture, and psychology, Kelley came to prominence in the 1980s with a series of sculptures composed of craft materials. His recent work offers dialogues with architecture and with repressed memory syndrome, and a sustained inquiry into his own aesthetic and social history. The subjects on which Kelley has written are as varied as his artistic media. They include the work of fellow artists, sound, car...
Paul Pouvreau
Paul Pouvreau (born 1956) lives and works between Paris, Argenton-sur-Creuse and Arles. He has been teaching Photography at École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles since 2010. Photography plays a central - but not exclusive - role in his practice, which is mainly focused on daily visual signs’ interference with our perception. This monograph covers his work since the 90s with over 150 photographs, drawings, video, interventions in the landscape and architecture.
The Taste of Art
The Taste of Art offers a sample of scholarly essays that examine the role of food in Western contemporary art practices. The contributors are scholars from a range of disciplines, including art history, philosophy, film studies, and history. As a whole, the volume illustrates how artists engage with food as matter and process in order to explore alternative aesthetic strategies and indicate countercultural shifts in society. The collection opens by exploring the theoretical intersections of art and food, food art’s historical root in Futurism, and the ways in which food carries gendered meaning in popular film. Subsequent sections analyze the ways in which artists challenge mainstream ide...

Peter Briggs : Brouillon general
Over a two-year period, from 2016 to 2018, four French museums —Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Angers, Musée de l’Hospice Saint-Roch d’Issoudun, La Citadelle de Belfort, La Piscine in Roubaix— are joining forces to present Peter Briggs' work. All four museums are multidisciplinary and all focus a part of their exhibition programme on the art of today, and often on artists whose singularity sets them apart from contemporary movements.
Beyond Memory
Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related Works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-three contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet unofficial art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture. During this time, lack of high-quality photographic materials, complimented by tremendous creative impulses, prompted artists to explore experimental photo-processe...
