Takeshi Murata (born 1975) first became known as an early innovator of "datamoshing," a form of
"glitch art" that requires compressing two videos together until their respective pixels merge intoone mashed-up picture. Since then, inspired by Giorgio de Chirico and traditional 17th-centuryDutch and Flemish painting, Murata's work has ventured into the realm of hyper-realism in aseries of uncanny prints and videos that explore our inner and exterior lives via everything fromB-grade horror film imagery to relics of a 1980s childhood. Part monograph and part artist's book,Takeshi Murata includes an essay by New Museum curator Lauren Cornell, an interview with theartist conducted by Alex Gartenfeld, Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, and anessay by Dan Nadel.

Rosalyn Drexler - Vulgar LivesGarth Greenan Gallery 2016 ISBN 9780989890267 Acqn 25874Hb 23x26cm 80pp 44ills 38col £44
Vulgar Lives includes 38 paintings and a series of preparatory drawings created between 1960and 2014 by legendary Pop artist Rosalyn Drexler (born 1926). A novelist, Obie-winningplaywright, sculptor, wrestler, and film and television writer, Drexler is a one-of-a-kind polymathwhose 1960s paintings have enjoyed a recent resurgence. Using vibrant, often primary colors,the artist creates collage-paintings incorporating societal or media imagery with her ownfantastical twist; figures from Western cultural history such as Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol and
the Beatles are a few of her iconic subjects. This publication is unique in its move beyondDrexler’s 1960s work, compiling a selection of the forceful—and sometimes jarring—imagery shehas continued to create since that time, taking more liberties in form and content. Arrangedchronologically, the works offer an insightful distillation of contemporary life in all its humorousand frightening contradictions.

Sonnier sketches lines, arches and curves before rendering them inglass tubing enclosed neon, creating works of line and color that become architectural
installations.

A text for those curious about education as a context for creativity and collaboration, and forteachers who want to reconsider hierarchy in their classrooms, Jesse Ball’s Notes on My DunceCap includes advisory material regarding the creation of syllabi and the manner in which groupsmay evaluate the work of an individual without harm. Ball is renowned for the unique courses heteaches at the Art Institute of Chicago, which are compiled in this volume along with extendednotes on pedagogy. His meditations consider pedagogy in terms that are at once usefully broadand insightfully profound: "When it is possible for any of us to simply go and sit somewhere in thegrass, and when it is such a delightful thing to do, to go and sit in the grass, whether by oneself orwith others, then it is important to remember that anytime we think about teaching, or indeed,about any other activity—that we do it instead of sitting somewhere in the grass. We are passingup on the joy of solitude, and all its virtues and pleasures. Therefore, it is crucial that whathappens when we teach be of the same value as time spent alone. And that is true both for
ourselves and for those we teach."Jesse Ball (born 1978) is the author of five novels, including The Curfew , Silence Once Begun and A Cure for Suicide, which was long-listed for the 2015 National Book Award, as well asseveral collections of poetry, including March Book . His work has appeared in numerouspublications including The New Republic , The Paris Review , Oberon, Circumference andGuernica Magazine.

A previously unpublished work by Scottish painter Callum Innes, ‘Edges’ is presented as a smallbook with a text by Colm Tóibín. Each of the abstract works has a boundary, where a softlyrendered field of colour ceases to exist and empty whiteness begins. The eye is therefore
unerringly drawn to this demarcation, raising questions about what lies beyond, the unseencontinuity in either direction. In his short piece, Tóibín writes, “Nothing is stable, no colour underthis light is stable; the shadows grow darker and the things on the earth merge with each other,
just as what all of us did merges into one action, and all our cries and gestures merge into onecry, one gesture.

mechanisms behind this cultural currency – fashion, fragrance, champagne, and architecture – toprobe France’s national identity and the inherent fantasy in the concept of luxury. Morris had metOscar-winning screenwriter Roger Avary in 2012, and asked him to write a fictional text abouther, also included here.

For contemporary artists, it seems the masterpiece nolonger has any meaning, dismissed as a somewhat comical, outmoded term inescapablyintertwined with the art market and publicity. Regardless, certain works have succeeded inplacing themselves outside time, having retained their inspiration and relevance. Reijndersinvestigates why this is the case.

Personal authenticity was once the primary domain of the arts. Artistic expression was seen as
“the most individual expression of the most individual emotion,” in the words of the poet WillemKloos. Today, a century later, authenticity has become a societal ideal. It has also become aneconomic good, something we buy and sell. The creative industries play a central role in thiscommercial context. As a generator of artificial scarcity, it creates the desire for unique products,experiences and lifestyles, and promotes the permanent renewal of our living and workingenvironment.

The work of New York–based artist Sarah Oppenheimer (born 1972) spans the boundariesbetween sculpture and architecture, exploring how space is animated and experienced in order toprovide a deeper understanding of architecture as a constructed social environment. Herinvestigations are particularly relevant within museums, where architecture frames and guideshow visitors see and interact with both space and, importantly, the people and objects in thatspace. This publication examines the research and development that is intrinsic toOppenheimer’s built installations, through previously unseen archival materials such as drawings,prototypes, physical models, light studies and customized computer code. It focuses on tworelated projects: D-33, at PPOW, New York (2012), and 33-D, at Kunsthaus Baselland,Switzerland (2014). This work highlights the physical and conceptual specificity of Oppenheimer’spractice and reflects the complexity of her methods for manipulating the built environment.

I Cry: The Desire to Be Rejected is a collaborative, hybrid composition by Chris Cheney and AmyLawless: part essay, part poem and part social media collage. In the composition of this book, theauthors cannibalized traditional research methods for a more personalized, technology-basedprocess. Meditating upon Kurt Schwitters’ notion that "the medium is as unimportant as I ammyself," they confront historical traumas through the body of real and virtual environments.Establishing online personas on Myspace, Yelp and Twitter, they explore the feelings that attach
themselves to these expressions of self, the real sense of desire, connection, affirmation andfriendship, as well as possibilities of destruction and loss. The relationship to the mother, acandlepin bowling league and an online Korean roleplaying group are the social environs throughwhich the authors grapple with their own sense of isolation and otherness in the digital age, theblind energy of desire and the strangeness of tears.
