Nick Mauss
This artist's book, designed in collaboration with Manuel Raeder, re-imagines the pages of a catalogue as sheets of wrapping paper, which are intended to be torn out by the reader and used to wrap gifts. The designs, conceived by Nick Mauss specifically for this book, are derived from various sources in the fine and decorative arts. The wrapping paper materialises those isolated elements on which the mind snags and questions the distinctions between the presentation of gifts and the presentation of textual or visual information. Illustrated essays by Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen and Kirsty Bell explore the cultural and philosophical context of Mauss' work and the position of this book within it. Includes 16 sheets of colour wrapping paper exclusively designed by the artist for this publication.
Transmissions
"An aesthetic and social history of art and dance in mid-20th-century New York interpreted by contemporary artist Nick Mauss Over the past decade, Nick Mauss (b. 1980) has pursued a hybrid mode of working that melds the roles of curator, artist, and scholar. This catalogue leans heavily into the scholarship side of his practice, building on his 2018 Whitney Museum exhibition with a closer look at the relationship between modernist ballet and the New York avant-garde. In the 1930s through 1950s, ballet was introduced to a popular audience in New York and was simultaneously influenced by developments in Europe in painting, photography, fashion, music, and poetry. Mauss reflects on this period ...
Nick Mauss: Intricate Others
Positioning itself in the "interstices between mediums? of drawing, printing, sculpture, ceramic, textiles, costume and theatre design", the work of Nick Mauss is defined by the artist's interest in the ideas of fragmentation and dramaturgy. A common denominator of the various facets of his oeuvre is drawing as an underlying process, which allows the artist to "work with formats that can?t be categorized". Mauss builds his work using objects and forms, and also with bodies and lines. Developed over the artist?s more than year-long engagement with the Villa Serralves, a stunning art deco building built in the 1930s with the intervention of leading architects and interior designers of the time...
Designing Dreams
"Marking the 150th anniversary of the artist's birth, Designing dreams, a celebration of Léon Bakst, highlights Bakst's contribution not only to the theater, but also to textile design and fashion, and to the tastes of his time. It is fitting that the exhibition takes place at the Nouveau Museé National de Monaco"--Page 11.
Reza Abdoh
In seinem nur zwölf Jahre umfassenden Schaffen brach der iranische Theatermacher Reza Abdoh mit sämtlichen Parametern des Theaters und brachte seine Schauspieler und das Publikum oft an ihre Grenzen. Seine halluzinatorischen Traumlandschaften waren eindringlich, seine Inszenierungen adressierten sprachgewaltig die bitteren politischen Realitäten seiner Zeit – vom staatlich sanktionierten Rassismus über die Weigerung der Reagan-Regierung, sich der AIDS-Krise anzunehmen, bis hin zu den Kriegen der USA. Kurz vor seinem Tod verfügte er, dass seine Stücke nicht neu aufgeführt werden dürfen. Der Katalog enthält neben zahlreichen Abbildungen neue Essays über die Einflüsse und Rezeption seines Werkes, bereits publizierte und bisher unveröffentlichte Interviews mit Reza Abdoh, Gespräche mit Weggefährten sowie Skripte seiner Stücke und Presseberichte.
Body Language
Examines early practices of staged photography in visualizing queer forms of relation. Body Language is the first in-depth study of the extraordinary interplay between George Platt Lynes and PaJaMa (Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret Hoening French). Nick Mauss and Angela Miller offer timely readings of how their practices of staging, collaboration, and psychological enactment through the body arced across the boundaries of art and life, private and public worlds, anticipating contemporary social media. Using the camera not to capture, but to actively perform, they renounced photography’s conventional role as mirror of the real, energizing forms of world-making via a new social framing of the self.

The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection
Formed by Harvey S. Shipley Miller, trustee of the Judith Rothschild Foundation, and given to MoMA in 2005, The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection was conceived to be a broad survey of contemporary drawing practice, and it more than fulfils that goal, mixing drawings of the 1960s and 1970s with major works of the past twenty years by such artists as Kai Althoff, Robert Crumb, Peter Doig, Marcel Dzama, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, Martin Kippenberger, Sherrie Levine, Agnes Martin, Fred Sandback, Paul Thel and Andrea Zittel, among many others. This definitive catalogue raisonné presents the collection as a whole, with an introduction by Christian Rattemeyer; five essays each focusing on a different geographic area of artistic production; images throughout; and a text on paper conservation.
