Open Form - Space, Interaction, and the Tradition of Oskar HansenSternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783943365986 Acqn 22682Pb 15x20cm 160pp 195ills 56col 16.50
Contributions by Anna Molska, ukasz Ronduda, Felicity Scott, Axel Wieder, MichaWoliski,Florian Zeyfang; interviews with Wiktor Gutt, Grzegorz Kowalski, PaweKwiek, AnnaNiesterowicz, Artur mijewski
Oskar Hansens (19222005) theoretical concept of open form was developed in the context ofinternational debates around late-modern architecture in the 1950s. Open form assumed that noartistic expression is complete until it has been appropriated by its users or beholders. In thefollowing decades, the concept became a key principle of performance and film art, and led to thedevelopment of process-oriented and interdisciplinary artistic techniques. Hansens conceptrevolutionized the traditional means of artistic communication.
This publication examines the impact of Hansens ideas within contemporary visual culture andthe redefined role of the viewer since the 1960s. The book includes in-depth interviews with someof the most important protagonists of experimental art in Poland, who investigate the historicalimpact of the open form. Other contributions comment on the theorys influence on a youngergeneration of artists. Visual material by Hansen and the artists complete this extensive volume.

Gerry Bibby - The DrumheadSternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790652 Acqn 24522Pb 13x20cm 118pp 14.50
Edited by Natasha Soobramanien
Artist Gerry Bibbys first publication is a work of fiction that expands on the use of text in hissculpture, performance, and image work. Evoking William Burroughss The Wild Boysand RobertWalsers The Walk, these language costumes pay homage to an unruly tradition of radical andqueer literary presences over the last century. Their captivating passages brim with wit, wryobservation, and (occasional) disgust, offering viewers ways out, even if only while reading.Commissioned by If I Cant Dance, I Dont Want to Be Part of Your Revolution, The Drumheadfollows a two-year collaboration with KUB Arena of the Kunsthaus Bregenz, The Showroom
London, CCA Glasgow, and the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. The book immodestly distillsthese institutional encounters into a multipart narrative that delves into the lives and psyches ofthose in the service industry. Exhaustion and frustration besiege a set of characters and thearchitecture that barely contains them, all of which are cipher-like in their multiplicity (andduplicity).

Nengudis output has always been wide-ranging, although she is perhaps best known for hersculptures and choreographed performances sometimes merging the two together whichencouraged an active involvement on the part of the viewer. Her free-form, abstract andbiomorphic soft sculptures incorporated a variety of found materials (such as nylon mesh tights
or pantyhose, everyday objects or masking tape) as well as natural materials like sand or rock.As part of this practice, in the mid-1970s she produced the R.S.V.P. series; works that usednylon tights a material associated with a gendered, female body stretched, twisted andknotted and then filled with sand. Hung on the wall but stretching out three-dimensionally into thegallery space, the materiality of these sculptures suggests skin, breasts, or bodily organs andplaces an emphasis on the performative body through its palpable sense of tactility.

Diana Al-Hadid - The Fates. SecessionRevolver Publishing by VVV 2014 ISBN 9783957630155 Acqn 24452Pb 96pp 55ills 40col 13
Diana Al-Hadid's sculptures, drawings, and panels merge figuration and abstraction. Her artinvolves a wide range of materialsfrom steel and fiberglass to gold leaf and pigmentandspans different eras by making reference to historic models or integrating them into itsarchitectonic structures. Diana Al-Hadid's works result from an open creative process. Herrevisions and reconfigurations toe the fine line between fidelity to the historic sources and a moreliberal recasting: "These references do not always remain perfectly intact, sometimes I lose thetrace altogether, but a small gesture remains. () What I have learned from starting with thesepaintings is that so little is needed to suggest a character or a scene, such is our familiarity with
the tilt of Mary's neck for example. Other times, the scene is obscured and what remains is a fewfaded arches of an architectural compound that once was highly detailed and populated. I aminterested in how much an image can be 'stressed' before it begins to forget its origins." (Diana
Al-Hadid)
Her sketchbook The Fates illustrates the processes through which the exhibition (The Fates,Secession, 2014) and its works have developed as well as the witty playfulness with which sheemploys traditional practices.

Following her exhibition Wild Wood (Secession 2013), Susi Jirkuff takes up and extends thecritical question as to how present-day social conditions continue to affect self-determined living,participation in society and personal advancement in her artist book for which she has made anew series of drawings. Together with quotations, among others from Friedrich Engels's workThe Condition of the Working Class in England (1845), these frame a graphic novel.The origins and transformation of industrial cities are thematised using the example ofManchester, the home town of the band Oasis which was formed there in 1991 and whosemembers were from the working class. Particular attention has been paid to the effects on thesocial structures of the population caused by local building methods and the urban planningsolution of high-rise housing estates for workers. Ken Loach who, in his films, depicts the Englishworking-class milieu authentically and matter-of-factly, might also have made a film out of the notunlikely fate of the Gallagher brothers and how they earned their living by dealing and small-timecriminality. Crucial to the artistic engagement was the observation that the distribution of wealthand the possibilities for upward social mobilityso-called equality of opportunitywasapproaching the level it had at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Cinthia Marcelle - Dust Never Sleeps. SecessionRevolver Publishing by VVV 2014 ISBN 9783957630179 Acqn 24454
Pb 17x22cm 176pp 75ills 16.50
Cinthia Marcelle has often staged situations and performative acts in public spaces, interventionsdesigned to transform quotidian actions into poetic events. Video and photography are herchosen artistic media of documentation. On several occasions, the artist has explored the ruin asan allegory of history divorced from any conception of beauty, drawing on Walter Benjamin'sunderstanding of history as a process of inexorable decline. One material that recurs throughoutMarcelle's oeuvre is dust. She sprays the loose particles into clearly delimited spaces, where theysettle to demarcate a new space. At the same time, the deposited layers of dust and grimeembody the materialization of time.
For her installation Dust Never Sleeps (2014), Cinthia Marcelle transforms the Secession'sGrafisches Kabinett into a seemingly abandoned space in which everythingthe floor, walls, and
ceiling, the windows, doors, and light fixturesis thoroughly covered in black soot. Brightercontours stand out; variations in the density of the accumulated material generate a sort ofdrawing in space, not unlike a photographic negative. Only a narrow corridor has been left blankand is open to visitors. The sense of confinement in the neatly clean walkway and the manifestlyunstable condition of the installation, which consists of loose powder, produce a palpable tension;the sharp line separating the two areas, meanwhile, establishes an exterior within the interior.

Kader Attias much-lauded piece The Repair from Occident to Extra-Occidental Cultureswas oneof the central works of dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel.
Attia had amassed its diverse materials for over 15 years, that in its entirety constitutes amuseum of cultural exchange between the African continent and the former colonial powers ofEurope from the well-known references of traditional African sculpture in Modernist art to the
jewelry that African artisans made from cartridge cases. The interplay of these objects results in avery complex picture of reciprocal influence between colonial and post-colonial cultures.The design of the book references the scientific publication Nasal plastic surgeryby Dr. JacquesJoseph from 1928, a central reference of Attia's Repair cycle. The book includes texts by ManthiaDiawara, Jacinto Lageira and a conversation between Kader Attia and Kitty Scott.

Lise Harlev has long explored personal identity in relation to the public realm. Using theaesthetics of advertising, public information signage and political slogans, her text pieces areoften too ambiguous to fit into any of those categories.
For This is not really me, Lise Harlev has invited people working within art, literature, advertisingand journalism to write about one of the 12 pieces in the book. Rather than giving in-depthanalyses of the works, the texts function as independent literary statements, which expand on theemotional aspect of Harlevs work and add new meaning to it.With texts by Synne Rifbjerg, Andreas Brgger, Katerina Gregos, Jan Verwoert, Sarah Quigley,Christian Yde Frostholm, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Leila El-Kayem, Tod Wodicka, Peio Aguirre,Geoffrey Garrison and Olof Olsson.

Ulrike Mohr DunkelfelderThe Green Box 2014 ISBN 9783941644700 Acqn 24072Pb 23x32cm 96pp 79ills 70col 20
The artistic position of Ulrike Mohr uses transformation processes of materials, which in turn areinfluenced by complex researches, traditional knowledge and also chance procedures. Her workshave an inherent material presence, based on her observations of nature. Her position as asculptor is the result of a process-based practice with contextualised materials, which shetransforms into poetic installations. Mohr is interested in the material quality as well as thetemporal dimensions that are an integral part of these ephemeral substances.This book is an overview on Ulrike Mohr's works of the last years, surrounding her investigationsinto the making of charcoal and how it is appropriated in her installations.With texts by Nico Anklam, Florian Wst, Alice Goudsmit and Justus Weiss.

Rachel Kneebone - 399 DaysWhite Cube 2014 ISBN 9781906072902 Acqn 24527Hb 19x26cm 72pp col ills 30
Rachel Kneebones finely sculpted porcelain works erupt with a bacchanal of contorted bodies,limbs and slumped phallic tendrils that emerge from amorphous properties of the material.Sharing the characteristics of Hellenistic sculpture, Kneebone retains the purity of the glazedwhite surface while the tonal chiaroscuro enhances the intricately modeled ruptures and crevicesthat inject this conventional material with a sensual physicality and unique energy.Inspired by Ovids great poem Metamorphosis where humans migrate into a myriad of forms,Kneebone depicts an erotic state of flux, suspended mid-transition, divulging part figurative andfragmentary motifs. Kneebones eclectic vision relishes in the angst of both Greek tragedies andBernini, the hybrid creatures of Bosch, and the erotic gaze of Batialle and Bellmer. A more direct
comparison is with the eighteenth century Meissen porcelain tableaux, some of which werecopied from idyllic pastoral paintings and odalisques by Watteau and Boucher. Yet Kneebonemanages to decant all these influences into her own highly distinct rhetoric, celebrating forms oftransgression, beauty and seduction.
