Saâdane Afif's illustrated monograph, titled Technical Specifications builds upon Afif's eponymous exhibition at Witte de With and explores his multiform practice to date. The book also features a CD recording of 53:56 some words, the radio program created as an integral part of the Witte de With exhibition and broadcast across the Netherlands throughout the summer. The two writers, Daniel Baumann and Ina Blom, who were invited to respond to the exhibition have evoked the way in which Afif's practice is reminiscent of a hall of mirrors: self-reflexive to the point of Narcissism, whilst at the same time exemplary of an openness and intellectual generosity that is rarely seen in contemporary art. Designed by the Paris-based duo de Valence.

The first book of its kind in English, Beyond No Future: Cultures of German Punk explores the texts and contexts of German punk cultures. Notwithstanding its "no future" sloganeering, punk has had a rich and complex life in German art and letters, in German urban landscapes, and in German youth culture. Beyond No Future collects innovative, methodologically diverse scholarly contributions on the life and legacy of these cultures. Focusing on punk politics and aesthetics in order to ask broader questions about German nationhood(s) in a period of rapid transition, this text offers a unique view of the decade bookended by the “German Autumn” and German unification. Consulting sources both published and unpublished, aesthetic and archival, Beyond No Future's contributors examine German punk's representational strategies, anti-historical consciousness, and refusal of programmatic intervention into contemporary political debates. Taken together, these essays demonstrate the importance of punk culture to historical, political, economic, and cultural developments taking place both in Germany and on a broader transnational scale.
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is pleased to announce a group exhibition curated by Matthieu Poirier. The exhibition will bring together works by twenty artists of eight different nationalities to explore the notion of landscape. Landscope, the exhibition and book, intend to call into question the art historical precedent of the correlation between landscape and drawing. The exhibition thus assembles, in two successive shows (Paris and Salzburg), over one hundred works, often in atypical formats, by artists for whom drawing is often just one medium among others, and landscape, a non-exclusive genre. Under the neologistic title "Landscope" - a contraction of "landscape" and "scope" [from the Greek s...

Un système graphique présent qui s’adapte à la version numérique, en couleur, et à la version imprimée, en noir et blanc. opticalsound lutte à sa manière contre la standardisation des objets du monde, l’allégeance de l’information et de la critique à l’argent et aux médias. La plupart des grandes institutions, les salles de ventes ou les galeries internationales sont devenues aujourd’hui des trous noirs qui aspirent l’entière surface d’expression et d’exposition.
