Book Description
"Everything you've ever believed about yourself...about the description of reality you've clung to so stubbornly all your life...all of it...every bit of it...is an illusion." In the rubble-strewn wasteland of Alphabet City, a squalid tenement conceals a treasure "beyond all imagining"-- an immaculately preserved, fifth century codex. The sole repository of ancient Hermetic lore, it contains the alchemical rituals for transforming thought into substance, transmuting matter at will...and attaining eternal life. When Rose, a sex and pain addicted East Village tattoo artist has a torrid encounter with Martin, a battle-hardened loner, they discover they are unwitting pawns on opposing sides of a battle that has shaped the course of human history. At the center of the conflict is Paul, the villainous overlord of an underground feudal society, who guards the book's occult secrets in preparation for the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy. The action is relentless as Rose and Martin fight to escape Paul's clutches and Martin's destiny as the chosen recipient of Paul's sinister legacy. Science and magic, mythology and technology converge in a monumental battle where the stakes couldn't be higher: control of the ultimate power in the universe--the Maelstrom. The Book of Paul is the first of seven volumes in a sweeping mythological narrative tracing the mystical connections between Hermes Trismegistus in ancient Egypt, Sophia, the female counterpart of Christ, and the Celtic druids of Clan Kelly.

Book Description
This book by and about the sculptor and pioneer land artist Richard Long explores his work from the 1990s to the present day. Long's ability to make works of physical and intellectual beauty in both outdoor and indoor spaces is unrivaled, and the journey covered here takes the reader around the world: to the Sahara Desert and down the Rio Grande, from coast to coast in Ireland and Spain, to Tierra del Fuego and Mongolia, and to the forests of Honshu in Japan. Some of the artist's sculptures were made during his walks through the world's landscapes, while others bring the materials of naturestones, boulders, driftwood, clay, and mudinto museums, galleries, houses, and gardens. These works feed the senses, whereas the texts and photographs recording the artist's walks feed the imagination. Majestic museum pieces made from tons of rock are juxtaposed with dramatic mud works and photographs recording ephemeral sculptures often made in the remote wilderness. Most of the photographs were taken by the artist himself, and the book also includes his notes and writings. If walking has become Long's trademark, the path is perhaps the central image or archetype in his work. The idea of the path or way has meaning in all culturesfrom the most material to the most spiritual. It is both real and symbolic, whether it is a life, a road, or the Taoist "Great Way." With his walks, Richard Long weaves a line through many traditions, creating an art that is both timeless and universal. 248 illustrations in color and duotone.

Book Description
Richard Long is one of the leading protagonists of Land Art. He uses the movement of his own body, hiking and walking through the landscape as a criterion and medium for his art. He has been creating outside works for more than 40 years all over the world, In England, Canada, Japan or Bolivia: large stone circles or lines made of wood. Photographs document these transient works. But right from the beginning the artist has also designed works For The museum space. Here as well, sculptures are created with archetypical forms, made of wood or stone: ellipses, lines or circles. The centre and inspiration for this exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof is the eponymous work Berlin Circle. The circle of stone, twelve metres in diametre, laid out on the floor is an important work in the Sammlung Marx and was first unveiled and installed by the artist For The opening of the Hamburger Bahnhof in 1996.'My art is in the nature of things', Long says, referring To The actuality of his works, which as consequent settings of locations on which the nature of things appears in the work, also illustrate questions of the contemporary discourse concerning relationality, performativity, crossing borders And The spatiality of art. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Long: Berlin Circle at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum f r Gegenwart, Berlin, 26 March - 31 July 2011.
