Yoshitomo Nara + Yng - The Crated Rooms In Iceland


Crymogea 2014 ISBN 9789935420183 Acqn 24382
Hb 23x21cm 28pp 28col ills 54
Easily one of the most important Japanese artists of the recent past, Yoshitomo Nara (born 1959)
has rocketed to worldwide fame for his darkly whimsical figures that put a creepy twist on
childhood ingenuousness. For his 2009 exhibition at the Reykjavik Art Museum, Nara presented
his works within the wooden shipping crates in which they had been transported to the museum.
Pictures were hung on the outside of the crates, and figures lurked within their interior nooks. This
beautifully produced board book records and continues the show's themes of containment and
transportation: it features windows that can be opened to reveal the youthful figures ensconced
within their confinements, waiting to be freed by the participation of the reader.

Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Brunei Gallery in London, which
gathered a selection of artworks from post-revolutionary Iran, this catalogue and accompanying
essay reflect perhaps the first coordinated efforts to analyse and contextualise recent Iranian art
practice within the nations social history and in comparison to the broader body of modern
Iranian art. For curators Aras Amiri, David Hodge, Rozita Sharafjahan and Hamed Yousefi it has
been a challenging task, as art historical research in the field remains fragmentary, lacking
archival material. Combining formalist art history with social history, they hope to shed new light

The work of British conceptual artist and writer Victor Burgin revolves around the relationship
between image and text, one in which neither optical nor verbal predominates, and explores the
territory between still and moving images. Four essays are included in this volume, written by
D.N. Rodowick, Glru akmak, Homay King and Anthony Vidler, each analysing various aspects
of Burgins attention to the affective agency of space in his work, from orientalism and the cultural
politics of modernity, to viewing Burgins work through the lens of Henri Bergson and Gilles
Deleuze. Also, the artists own thinking about visual culture is revealed in an interview with David
Campany.

the last fifteen years from reproduced images, this folding brochure/poster continues in this spirit
by mimicking the economy of means and autonomy of images Leguillon deploys in his work. It
proposes an exhibition model that attempts to foil or declassify the hierarchies of art, as each
work is informed by a principle of movement, or even reversibility, and reflects a perpetual
process of emitting and receiving information, spurring us to rethink the conditions of the
reception of art.

Pb 10x15cm 72pp 15ills 6
In October 1963 I met Gil J., and we schlepped to the scrap-metal market. [...] It was there that I
came up with the following definition of Lettrism:
Lettrism: 1) technical definition: smithy, arsenal, place where unused weapons are stored; 2)
volcanology: rumbling that announces certain volcanic eruptions. Examples: 1) Thanks to L.,
insurgent groups were armed 2) The people of Herculaneum did not pay heed to L. [Acad.]
Jean-Louis Brau, 1972
The Lettrist movement is unique in the history of avant-garde formations. Founded by Isidore Isou
in Paris immediately after World War II, it remains active to this day, having lost none of its
radicalism, either aesthetic or ethical. In this book, Nicole Brenez presents the key figures and the
basic concepts of Lettrist cinema, the art form within which their formal innovations proved the
most far-reaching, prefiguring the breakthroughs of the nouvelle vague and the experiments of
expanded cinema.

Olaf Holzapfels work proves the indissoluble connection between human settlement, technique,
and abstraction. Elementary space-generating methods like plaiting, weaving, and latticingageold settler techniquesstem from natural linear entities. These techniques are exceptional in that
they dont differentiate between technique or machine, or whether a structure is purely functional,
for living, or auxiliary. Holzapfel scrutinizes the perception and presence of material within space
and whether an image discourse can exist without these physical modules. For him the
landscape, and the material it contains, is more than a symbol that fixes identity; rather, it
becomes a transmitter.
Holzapfels exhibition at the Lindenau-Museum Altenburg, on occasion of being awarded the
Gerhard-Altenbourg Prize 2014, explores the interstices between craft and art, and consequently,
between orality and literacy. Much of his work presented in this catalogueframework
installations, hay images, and straw images are displayed in this bookwas made together with
farmers and craftspeople; by transforming age-old handiwork into contemporary art, Holzapfel
unsettles the division between nature and culture, and tradition and modernity.

artists from Iran and the broader Middle East, is one of starts and ruptures. Although the artist
spent much of her life in North America, her formal language was shaped and nourished by the
traditions of Iran, allowing her oeuvre to form connections outside the dialectic of East and West.

Desmet (18751956), who went from being a carnival showman to one of the Netherlands'
leading cinema operators, and finally became the country's first professional film distributor. The
first decades of film were its most adventurous yearsa period of astonishing technological
development, artistic ingenuity and creative entrepreneurship. With his cinema company, Desmet
was part of the transformation of cinema from a novelty into a major popular entertainment
industry. The Jean Desmet Collection, now housed at the EYE Film Institute, Amsterdam,
consists of more than 900 films, mostly from France, America, Italy and England, including
masterpieces that were considered lost for decades. In this publication the story of the early days
of the medium is told through films in the Desmet Collection, along with related posters,

mind. This book, published in conjunction with the exhibition, follows this example by
interweaving narratives in relation to the concrete and discrete architecture of memory, dreams,

human mind to resist oppression, tracing individual destinies or collective endeavours through a
combination of materials, language, and scientific techniques. With a text by Adam Kleinman.
