Phyllida Barlow
STINT is an exhibition of works by Phyllida Barlow, one of the most influential sculptors working in Britain today. STINT is a major new commission for the Mead Gallery and features a series of new sculptures which revisit familiar ideas and themes in Barlow's work. Her work incorporates an enormous range of mass produced materials including cardboard, fabric, paper, glue, paint, plastic, wood, rubber, hardboard, and adhesive tape. Barlow's work questions the nature and role of the sculptural object in contemporary culture, utilising an extensive, fluid vocabulary and immense enthusiasm for engaging with the physical 'stuff' of the world. She creates new relationships, experimenting with unexpected combinations of materials creating objects and environments, which encourage us to see the everyday world with fresh eyes. This beautifully designed large-format catalogue contains numerous exhibition installation views, mini insert images of the new works, and an extensive interview with the artist. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Phyllida Barlow: STINT at Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre, October - December 2008.
Miguel Palma
The essays examine Palma's innovative way of working with his patrons to raise the money to return a Jaguar to its birthplace in a 1500-mile journey, the legacy of the 1960s' preoccupation with technology, and how one understands the failure of an artistic project.

The Quick and the Dead
To study anatomy, many artists dissected the dead to better depict the living. "The Quick and the Dead" focuses on a range of artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Cindy Sherman to show the great richness and complexity that can result when art and science intersect. The drawings, prints, photographs, and objects in this book span five centuries and mark numerous cultural shifts, yet their imagery is as powerful today as when they were created. 92 illustrations, 31 in color.
