Alicia Paz grew up in Mexico and studied in California, Paris and London. Her paintings seem infused with the interplay of impressions gathered at all of these stations - and her life path as an artist is exemplary for our time, with its borders and the cultural overlaps, mutual contemplations and reflections connected to this phenomenon. The invariably female personages appearing in her paintings, paper reliefs and recently also favoured medium of cut-out sculptures creates a role play of iridescent identities. The catalogue book provides both an overview of her painterly oeuvre of the recent years and an opportunity for readers to engage with her artistic thought process, which is visualized and made concrete here. By employing pictorial overlaps, embossing, glitter effects and special paper inlays, the book operates with a similar diversity in terms of visual components as the art works do, hereby giving this catalogue a decidedly object-like character.
The artists of this thirty-six-year-old creative program in Roswell, New Mexico, are presented along with numerous examples of their work.

The Brodsky Center at Rutgers: Three Decades, 1986-2017, chronicles the history and artists involved with an internationally acclaimed print and papermaking studio at Rutgers University. Judith K. Brodsky conceived, founded, and directed the atelier, which, from its onset, provided state-of-the-arts technology and expertise for under-represented contemporary artists — women, Indigenous, and from diasporas of the African, Eastern European, Latin and Asian communities — to make innovative works on paper. These artistic creations presented new narratives to American and global visual arts from voices previously not heard or seen. Some of the artists featured in the book include Faith Ringgold, Elizabeth Catlett, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Miriam Schapiro, Pepón Osorio, Kiki Smith, and Richard Tuttle, among many other talented and influential printmakers and artists. Published in partnership with the Zimmerli Museum.

First published in 1996. The present volume, Homemaking: Women Writers and the Politics and Poetics of Home, enters the critical discourse on gender by way of two of its most pressing issues: the politics of women’s locations at the end of the twentieth century, and the division of experience into public and private. That the emergence of systematic feminist thought in the west coincided with the invention of "private life" should not surprise us. Feminist thinkers from Mary Wollstonecroft on were quick to realize that the designation of the public and the private, male and female, was key to the subordination of women.
