Roni Horn
A comprehensive look at the celebrated work of contemporary artist Horn, whose innovative exploration of water as a medium and metaphor has established her as a vital voice in the discourse on identity, perception, and the environment. This book is a captivating exploration of Horn's decades-long fascination with water, both as a material and a metaphor. Known for her provocative approach to perception, identity, and the mutability of form, Horn uses water to mirror human experience and emotion. Born in 1955 in New York, Horn has spent decades pushing the boundaries of art to explore the complexities of identity, perception, and nature. Horn's body of work spans photography, cast glass, and installation, consistently returning to the theme of fluidity. Her iconic series You Are the Weather--100 photographs of Icelandic artist Margr矇t Haraldsd籀ttir Bl繹ndal submerged in water--reveals how water can both obscure and define identity. Similarly, her "liquid" glass sculptures play with the tension between solidity and fluidity, their colors ranging from turquoise to black. In an era marked by climate change and water scarcity, Horn's works pose urgent questions about water as a shared resource and a symbol of impermanence and survival. This volume not only offers a retrospective of her water-centered works but also connects them to broader global challenges with critical and poetic texts by Nora Burnett Abrams, Jarrett Earnest, Anne Carson, and the artist herself.
Through the Long Desert: Georgia O'Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright
A richly illustrated exploration of newfound connections between American cultural icons Georgia O'Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright. This groundbreaking volume places the artist and architect side by side, shedding light on their lives, work, and mutual love of the American desert. Georgia O'Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright were neither competitors nor direct collaborators. Yet these romantic heroes of twentieth-century art and architecture largely operated in parallel. In this seminal book, Rovang weaves together their compelling life stories, examining newly discovered links between them and, in the process, offering a fresh perspective on their work, their intermittent yet poignant friendship, and their closeness to the desert.  Starting in 1933, O'Keeffe and Wright exchanged roughly two dozen letters in which they expressed admiration for one another but also their passion for the places that informed them--many of which they had in common. Both were born in rural Wisconsin and built their careers in Chicago and New York. However, both sought inspiration and fulfillment in places farther afield, including in Japan and the desert landscape of the American Southwest. Juxtaposing images highlighting shared aspects of their individual biographies and work, this unique take on American creative expression explores the nature of artistic friendship and the idea of "home." Rovang's text gives rich context to the allure and romance of her visual subject, offering readers new ways to appreciate O'Keeffe's and Wright's monumental contributions to American culture.  
Prompt-Brush 1.0
In response to the rise of AI-generated art, designer Pablo Delcan takes a human-centered approach in this interpretive, illustrative collection of humorous, poignant, and universal ideas based on text prompts from the public. Unlike AI tools that automatically generate art based on text prompts, Prompt-Brush 1.0 celebrates the creativity and sensibility of the artist's work. In this project, graphic designer and art director Pablo Delcan invited the public to submit prompts, which he then manually interpreted and translated into images. This book is a curated selection of submitted prompts and original artwork personally created by Delcan. Every piece has a unique, human touch. In Delcan's quirky and clever sensibility, prompts like "5 Second Rule" become an ice cream cone embedded with cigarette butts and debris. The project offers a stark contrast to the instant, automated process typical of AI art models, with a personal and nuanced interpretation of the prompts. Delcan's hand-drawn interpretations and deliberate, individual style emphasize the value of human creativity and effort over the speed and efficiency of AI models. The collection of diverse, often humorous artworks has gained popularity for its distinctive approach and attracted attention and praise, with Fast Company calling it "infinitely more layered than its AI-generated counterpart." The simplicity of the black ink drawings is direct and childlike, offering a refreshing departure from the increasingly detailed and hyperrealistic outputs of AI art generators. This handsome slipcased volume makes an outstanding gift for artists and art advocates, graphic designers, creative professionals, educators, students, and anyone who values the creative process and is wary of AI's impact on the art world.

Adeline de Monseignat: Motherhood in Four Acts
Explores de Monseignat's sculptures reflecting matrescence, birth, intimacy, and maternal transformation.Motherhood in Four Acts is a publication about the sculptures and sculptural installations of Mexico-based artist Adeline de Monseignat (b. 1987, Monaco). It is also a publication about the artist's experiences of matrescence--the process of becoming a mother--and how these experiences are interwoven with her recent sculptural works.Inspired by a theatrical production or play, the publication is structured in four acts. The first, titled "Earth" presents the work Seedscape, which takes the form of smooth, rounded "seeds" carved from sand-colored travertine, exploring themes of the seed and its potential for life, the earth and fertility, pregnancy and the womb. The publication features documentation of three presentations of the work, culminating on the rooftop terrace of the Museo MARCO in Monterrey, Mexico, in Monseignat's exhibition Enceinte (Pregnant).The second act, entitled "Fire", presents the sculpture Uketamo, which considers the experience of giving birth, the emptiness of the womb post-partum, and coming to terms with the newborn's separation from the umbilical cord. Comprising an outdoor sculptural installation launched in 2024 at Casa Wabi Foundation's Sabino site, the artist employs tezontle--a volcanic rock--to create mounds with empty spaces inside and mirrors at their bases, reflecting the sky. Seeming to emerge out of the gravel-covered ground, these mounds and cavities resemble volcanoes after an eruption, bringing fertile minerals out of the fires deep underground and into the air of the earth's surface.The third act, "Air", documents the body of work Skin to Skin, presented at Colector Gallery in Monterrey in 2023-24. The works evoke notions of a mother's intimate first contacts with their baby, the proximity between them, the bringing together of their flesh, and breathing together. The sculptures that comprise this series juxtapose white travertine--a form of sedimentary rock--and polished bronze, as if mother and newborn are holding each other's bodies close, almost wrapped around one another.The final act, "Water", revolves around the work Aurum, representing breastfeeding and the sense of the mother's body producing and releasing milk and other fluids. In the work, a mother's breasts take the form of a fountain, both a vessel and provider. "I remember feeling like I was liquifying, no exaggeration. My body had transmuted into one big vessel", explains the artist. A bronze version of the work, replete with basin and flowing water, was on show at MASA Galer穩a in Mexico City in 2023.The four bodies of work are discussed in a thoughtful and thought-provoking essay by Andr矇e Bober, curator and founding director of Landmarks, the public art program of the University of Texas at Austin. Along with a foreword by Adeline de Monseignat, each act features text entries providing background information to the works and contexts in which they have been shown. Edited by Katharine Jaensch and designed by Gabriela Bustillos, this hardback publication features texts in both English and Spanish, with translations by Jimena Lechuga. The publication was made possible with the support of Colector, Monterrey, Houston, Dallas.
Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? A Patchwork Journey Through My Life... So Far
Kenneth Radley's Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? A patchwork journey through my life... so far - is a richly layered, deeply personal memoir told in an engaging patchwork style - weaving together reflections from across six decades of an expansive life.From his early life we are taken through some rapid development in the 1960s. Then the tectonic socio-cultural shifts throughout the 1970s. And later appearing in more than 30 feature films, performing as B1 in the highly successful and culturally iconic Bananas in Pyjamas, to selling wine, cab driving, fronting a hard-hitting rock band in the Melbourne pub scene, teaching, building houses, playing and umpiring Australian football and navigating family life within the creative industries - Radley crafts a collection of vivid vignettes that balance wit, philosophical inquiry, and grounded realism.Kenneth's voice is conversational, witty, and unpretentious - a creative balance that allows for intimacy without self-indulgence. He welcomes the reader in as though catching up with an old friend over a long afternoon.The non-linear, episodic structure reflects the book's emotional honesty and thematic complexity. Like memory itself, the narrative flows from place to place - sometimes abrupt, and like life, unpredictable. This style both engages the reader and reveals the depth of Radley's inner and outer worlds.Readers interested in Australian cultural history, performance, and television and film will find rare, behind-the-scenes gems throughout. Anecdotes involving the Bananas years, working on set from an actor's perspective, creative struggles, the joy and passion in his work. The reader is treated to some fascinating encounters with industry characters that offer unique insights and deep reflections.Even in its few heavier moments - including grief, insecurity, the exploration of some trauma, cause, effect, confusion and eventual development in behaviour - the book maintains genuine warmth and humility. The regular moments of humour feel lived-in rather than performed, full of well-timed understatement and irony. Radley offers keen observation and generosity of spirit throughout.This work offers so much more than a timeline of events; it becomes a meditation on memory, cultural change, identity, work, and the intersections between art, family life and self-discovery.It is a fascinating, authentic and heartfelt piece reflecting the complexity, fun and humour of a man that is truly thankful for his life and filled with genuine love and appreciation of those close to him.it is quite a journey... so far.

He is known internationally for writing and performing the most successful song in Australian music history, "Shaddap You Face", which has been translated into fifteen languages, including the Western Australian aboriginal dialect of Yindjibarndi. He has been a prolific poet and writer for the past two decades and has been Quadrant magazine's film review editor since 2018. He was included in Best Australian Poems 2014 & 2015, winner of the 2017 University of Canberra Health Poetry Prize and a 2021 City of Melbourne Poet Laureate. He is a winner of the 25th Launceston Tasmania Poetry Cup and arecipient of Advance Australia Award.He lives in Carlton, Victoria.Have a look at some of [these] essays and you'll notice his knowledge spans a breadth inconceivable for most people.'-Dr Naomi Stekelenburg'That piece you wrote on Westerns [Yellowstone]... was on a level with the strongest papers I have heard at academic conferences, and I do include overseas scholars. This is no exaggeration.'- Dr Christopher HeathcoteATEGORY HERE'Along with the rest of the world, I first heard Joe Dolce's song, "Shaddap You Face", many times and delighted in Joe's vivid performance. Sometime after, I realised that the Joe Dolce who wrote entertaining and informative articles in Quadrant magazine was, astonishingly, the writer and singer of a song that was a No. 1 hit in 15 countries. Re-reading dozens of Joe Dolce's witty and informative articles has tied me up for weeks (this was NOT an ordeal) while preparing this introduction to Crooked Timber. He has won numerous prizes for his verse, and his latest collection, At the Noisy Cafe Selected Poems 2017-2023, contains some of the most touching poems - including the title poem - that I have ever read. I look forward to more songs, more stories, more essays, more reviews, more poems, and more recipes from the energetic, charismatic Joe Dolce.' - from the introduction by Academy Award winning film director, Bruce Beresford.
Julia Chiang
Chiang's meditative process creates detailed paintings with intricate webs of forms and vibrant ceramics fluctuating between fragility and strength New York-based artist Julia Chiang (born 1978) is known for her paintings and ceramics, which use abstract compositions and organic forms to evoke a connection to the vastness of the universe. Her bulbous ceramics transport us through their sensual shapes and her organic imagery borrows from the physical--medical scans, internal body liquids and environments--as well as the psychological. A sense of connectivity, of the body in nature and the environment that surrounds us, has always been part of the artist's approach and is fundamental to her work. "I'm always interested in our bodies as vessels, what we contain and what we cannot. All that comes out of us, all that is within us," says Chiang. This first monograph on Chiang presents her work from the late 1990s to the present and features an essay by Eugenie Tsai, writer and former senior curator at the Brooklyn Museum.
cod.eXɘ.boↄ
At its carbon-based core, C繹d.eXɘ.b繹ↄ represents an intent to communicate between man and machine, with squid as proxy. The Ↄalamari Arↄhive in-house designer (in8 iD) prompted the cyborg 5carLit.11.22 with analog book art from various prior publications (Ark Codex 簣0 in particular) + 5carLit translated the pages into encrypted source code on-the-fly, rendering them back as machine-readable crypto art (for posthuman consumption), curated and compiled by in8 iD into this archival manifest/vision statement--an Ai artist portfolio composed of non-fungible, block-chained pages that serve as Ↄalamari stock certificates to crowdfund future projects.Self-described from the horse's mouth as: imagery, arranged meticulously at 90-degree angles, conveying a mechanical yet organic feel, as if peering into a dreamlike archive of obsolete technology and ancient alphabets. Using a collage style, it invites the viewer into a layered experience, where words dissolve into symbols and text becomes a visual form, all bound together with an aesthetic of decay and discovery. This book is a celebration of the abstract, built from a conversation between creator and machine, producing a final work that feels both timeless and on the brink of digital collapse.
Writing in the Work of Huguette Caland
Dedicated to the role of language in the Lebanon-born, Los Angeles-based artist's playful, erotic oeuvre, from somatic paintings to cheeky kaftans The daughter of former Lebanese president Bechara El Khoury, Huguette Caland (1931-2019) studied art in Beirut but spent most of her career in Paris and Los Angeles, living in the latter city from 1987 to 2013. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture and even clothing design (especially her provocative kaftans), Caland developed a joyful and erotic oeuvre ruled by color, line and the unencumbered female form. Including a 28-page insert, this exquisitely stylish hardback explores the deeply personal and often enigmatic role within Caland's artistic universe. Huguette's daughter Brigitte thoughtfully navigates the intimate terrains of memory, desire and identity present within her mother's work, revealing how her handwritten fragments and invented symbols coalesced into a somatic language all her own. From Asia to Europe to North America, this volume follows Huguette Caland's life lived in radical fluidity, where art is both confession and resistance, text and textile, silence and speech.
Fabienne Lasserre: Entre Chien Et Loup
Titled after the French expression for twilight, Lasserre's first monograph is a fitting expression of her ambiguous colorblocked compositions blending painting with sculptureBrooklyn-based artist Fabienne Lasserre (born 1973) describes her practice as "a stubborn action on materials"--creating freestanding objects made of clay, hand-dyed fabric, paper and metal that hover between painting and sculpture. For Lasserre, abstraction is a means to privilege lived and felt experience, implying powerful and fertile political metaphors. Entre chien et loup (a French expression for twilight), speaks to the way Lasserre's work defies easy categorization. This catalog-cum-artist's book includes contributions by curators Camila Marambio and Dean Daderko, art historian Nell Andrews and artist Kristine Woods (all presented in both English and French) providing intimate and lyrical weaving of viewpoints on materials, the senses, resistance and queer and feminist perspectives.
Ha Chong-Hyun in Japan
Shaped by his childhood experiences in Japan and his study of Mono-ha, Ha Chong-hyun's career underscores the twin developments of modern Japanese and Korean artKorean artist Ha Chong-hyun (born 1935) has had a deep and enduring relationship with Japan, from his early years in Kansai to his first solo exhibition in Tokyo, introduced by his longstanding colleague Lee Ufan. His engagement with the Japanese avant-garde--particularly Mono-ha--shaped his early practice before he transitioned into the monochrome paintings that defined his role in Dansaekhwa. Featuring new essays alongside critical writings from past exhibition catalogs, this volume examines Ha's exhibitions at Muramatsu, Kamakura and other key Japanese galleries, as well as his lasting friendships with figures such as Lee and Nobuo Sekine. Archival materials, rare photographs and documentation from Japanese museum collections further illuminate Ha's impact and presence in Japan from the 1970s to the 2000s. More than a study of one artist, this book reveals the cross-cultural currents that connected Korean and Japanese modern art.
Rauschenberg and the Twentieth Century
Reappraising Rauschenberg across the 20th century, with a particular focus on his relationship to Italy and its most salient artistic movements Italy has always been entwined with the work of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008)--from his first visit at the age of 26 to his capturing of the International Grand Prize in Painting at the 1964 Venice Biennale. He continued to reference the country in his oeuvre, whether through found objects and scrap metal picked up in Venice and Naples or through more metaphorical references such as his Bellini print series. In celebration of the centenary of his birth, the Museo del Novecento staged an exhibition to an artist who without hyperbole can be considered one of the 20th century's most revolutionary artists. This bilingual English/Italian catalog interweaves his tireless decades-long experimentation--across sculpture, painting, assemblage, installation and more--with the movements that shaped his philosophy, from Futurism to Arte Povera.
Tom Lloyd
A milestone publication shedding light on the groundbreaking contributions of an under-recognized artist whose art and activism resonates in contemporary culturePublished with Studio Museum in Harlem. Collaborating with an engineer at the Radio Corporation of America, American artist Tom Lloyd developed a highly experimental and technologically advanced art practice in the 1960s that challenged popular understandings of the work and role of Black artists. In 1968 his pioneering artwork was the focus of the inaugural exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Electronic Refractions II.Based on extensive new scholarship and intensive conservation work, this publication accompanies a landmark retrospective exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem exploring 20 years of the artist's career, including his pivotal contributions to the intersection of art and technology, and paying tribute to his activism. This is the first-ever comprehensive catalog on the artist and features an exclusive selection of never-before-seen images that chronicle Lloyd's career, including photographs of the artist collaborating with engineer Alan Sussman, nonextant works and past installations.Designed by Miko McGinty and richly illustrated with full-color reproductions of artworks, studio photographs and an illustrated chronology, Tom Lloyd also includes new essays by former Studio Museum curator Connie H. Choi, conservator Reinhard Bek, historian Krista Thompson, Studio Museum senior curatorial assistant Habiba Hopson, and artists Paul Stephen Benjamin, Nikita Gale and Glenn Ligon.Artist, activist and community organizer Tom Lloyd (1929-96) was an early pioneer of using electric light as an artistic medium. Born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, he was the founder of the Store Front Museum/Paul Robeson Theatre, Queens's first art museum.
Jim Shaw: The Ties That Bind
Saturated with literary allusions, pop culture staples and celebrity caricatures, Shaw's bombastic satirical works are almost "too weird for the art world" (Cultured Magazine)Since the 1970s, Los Angeles-based artist Jim Shaw (born 1952) has been developing an exciting body of work that includes photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, films and musical performances. The Ties That Bind addresses the commitments and obsessions that drive Shaw's practice: morality, fictional narratives, conspiracy theories and forms of cultural production, to name a few. Popular cultural formats such as comics, Hollywood films and caricatures constitute an essential part of his work, as do religion, folk beliefs, leisure culture and amateur arts. His profound critical exploration of the construction of values and beliefs is complemented by an incredibly rich visual imagery. In recent decades, his body of work has increasingly highlighted the growing tension between conservative and progressive ideologies. The Ties That Bind brings to light the core motifs of Shaw's practice, presenting his latest work alongside a selection of earlier works.
Scenes from the Passion

The Art of George Wilson
What made many of the great adventure comics of the 1960s so attractive were their fantastic painted covers by artist George Wilson. Wilson also turned in hundreds of painted covers for paperback books that range from The Phantom and Flash Gordon to romance, adventure and war titles, all illustrated in the extensive survey of his work. Unlike the majority of comic book covers of the era, Wilson's covers harkened back to the era of pulp magazines and were spectacularly eye-catching. He turned in efforts for literally hundreds of comics titles -- this important monograph on the artist provides examples of every genre he worked in. Presented are cover paintings scanned from the original artwork from Classics Illustrated, The Twilight Zone, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Doctor Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, Turok, Son of Stone, Star Trek, Korak, Son of Tarzan, Mighty Samson, Brothers of the Spear, Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery, Space Family Robinson, Dark Shadows, and The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor to name but a few. This new art book focuses on over 300 examples of his cover art accompanied by an introduction by famed artist Joe Jusko, an exhaustive essay by Anthony Taylor and the only interview Wilson ever gave. This is the ultimate, definitive art book about one of the most important cover artists of the Silver and Bronze ages.
Roy Kuhlman: Reluctant Modernist
The legacy of Grove Press is well known within literary circles: how Barney Rosset bought a fledgling but failing publishing company in the early 1950s and changed the world of letters in America, and perhaps the very culture as well. Grove Press brought to national prominence the writers, art, and artists of the avant-garde. Equally innovative, and ultimately as influential, Grove Press book covers reflected not only the work inside, but also the prevailing zeitgeist. The iconoclastic writing was echoed in the packaging, a marriage of imagery and the written word that had not been seen before, or, perhaps, since. The covers, the work of a young artist named Roy Kuhlman, who arrived on Grove's doorstep in 1951, contributed invaluably to the company's image as a distinguished and innovative publishing house. Work from all of Kuhlman's oeuvre is included in this handsome volume, over 300 in all, with an emphasis on the Grove covers. To date, the public has seen little of Kuhlmans's total creative output. It is all assembled here for the first time, displaying depth, variety, and innovation. It is at once illustrative, abstract, conceptual, comical, serious and revolutionary. This book is a celebration of and a tribute to this important designer's creative m矇tier.
The Magical Realism of Alyce Frank
The Magical Realism of Alyce Frank features a painter who characterizes her own work as "Taos Expressionism." She cites Van Gogh, the Fauvists, and the Taos School as important early influences.Though Frank has been painting for thirty years, she did not become a painter until she moved to New Mexico. "New Mexico was so powerful and demanding that the way I made peace with it was to paint it."When Alyce paints it is with a partner, and they take a picnic. They paint outside and "if you were there, you would know it was the place, though my paintings are not 'realistic.'" A brilliant palette of rich primary and secondary colors embellish her large (36' x 48') landscapes in a way that makes you acutely conscious of the seasons, the life in the trees, fields, and mountains. She could only have created these paintings in New Mexico, and yet their appeal is universal, primitive, mythic. A title in the New Mexico Magazine Artist Series

InBetween The Unseen
Review: In Between The UnseenBy Vitek and JessicaIn Between The Unseen is a luminous collaboration between two artists whose creative partnership was forged within the inspiring community of Gateway City Arts. In a space where nearly every staff member was also a working artist, Vitek and Jessica connected through their shared commitment to GCA's mission: fostering a safe and dynamic environment for all forms of artistic expression.When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the venue to close for 16 months, the world outside stood still-but inside, creativity continued to unfold. During this time, Vitek and Jessica created a body of work that would become the foundation for their joint exhibit, What Lies Beneath, which marked the reopening of GCA's Small Works Gallery in the fall of 2021.The exhibit, featuring Vitek's paintings and poetry alongside Jessica's photographs and original verse, offered a moving exploration of solitude, resilience, and the unseen emotional landscapes shaped by global upheaval. Its powerful reception inspired the idea for a book-one that would preserve and expand upon the intimate visual and poetic dialogue between the artists.With the guidance of Paul Richmond of Human Error Publishing, In Between The Unseen emerged-a book that not only documents a moment in time, but invites readers into the layered and reflective world created by two voices in harmony. A testament to creative perseverance, this collection is both a record of survival and a celebration of what can be discovered when we dare to look beneath the surface.
