Book Description
From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture—as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism and magic—Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs—including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles—that fuel her oeuvre. Book published on the occasion of Ulla von Brandenburg’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020

Book Description
"It Has a Golden Sun and an Elderly Grey Moon is the title not only of Ulla von Brandenburg’s new film, but also this publication, created as part monograph, part artist book. This allegorical phrase resonates as an invitation from the artist, beckoning us to circulate within the prelude-spaces offered by the practice of sacred and animist rituals, and within the contemporary space of forms of artistic representation such as theatre, dance and performance. This book’s design reflects and resonates with that of the film, unfolding five of the film’s themes which are also recurrent in the artist’s broader work: color, ritual, movement, stairs, and textiles. Designed by Jean-Claude Chianale"--

Book Description
In 1960 George Heard Hamilton published the first complete typographic translation of Duchamp's Green Box in English. This landmark publication translated Duchamp's notes and conceptual ambitions for his masterwork, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. And as a book, designed to hinge at its binding, the work fulfilled Duchamp's conceptual proposal for art that would move from two- into three-dimensional space. Hinge Pictures is an artist's book in eight parts--a gorgeous, palimpsestual publication that layers the practices of Sarah Crowner, Julia Dault, Leslie Hewitt, Tomashi Jackson, Erin Shirreff, Ulla von Brandenburg, Adriana Varejão and Claudia Wieser over the pages of Duchamp's imagination. It is also a companion publication to an exhibition in eight parts, a confrontation with the patrimony of European modernism. A literal reading of Duchamp positions the Bride, a nude woman, suspended above a host of ogling bachelors. In his writing, Duchamp narrates both social and physical constraint ("The Bride accepts this stripping...") and formal liberation ("discover true form...develop the principle of the hinge."). The artists of Hinge Pictures use formal constraint--a commitment to abstraction--in a demonstration of social liberation. With a Swiss binding that unveils the spine of the book and multiple vellum overlays that create layered interlocutions, the book's physical qualities mirror its conceptual occupations.

Book Description
Few American battles have been so extended, savage, and personal. A handful of Americans volunteered to live among six thousand Vietnamese, training farmers to defend their village. Such "Combined Action Platoons" (CAPs) are not a lost footnote about how the war could have been fought; only the villagers remain to bear witness. This is the story of fifteen resolute young Americans matched against two hundred Viet Cong; how a CAP lived, fought, and died; and why the villagers remember them to this day.

Book Description
Ulla von Brandenburg hat bis heute ein umfassendes, komplexes und charakteristisches Œuvre entwickelt. In ihren Filmen, Installationen, Performances und Zeichnungen verwendet sie Methoden und Vorgangsweisen des Theaters, um sich mit gesellschaftlichen, sozialen und historischen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen. Facetten des Bühnenhaften und Theatralischen oder die Regelhaftigkeit des Spiels werden zu Metaphern des menschlichen Zusammenlebens, in denen die Trennung zwischen Akteur und Zuschauer und Akteur, Realität und Illusion immer wieder aufgelöst wird. 0Das ebenso konsistente wie facettenreiche Werk Ulla von Brandenburgs abzubilden und theoretisch zu verankern, ist das Anliegen dieser Publikation. Das Buch beginnt mit einem umfassenden Bildteil, der ihre Arbeiten der Jahre 2008 bis 2013 versammelt. Im anschließenden Textteil diskutiert Nina Möntmann mit der Künstlerin neben konkreten kulturellen und historischen Bezügen zahlreiche Aspekte, die für das Werk und insbesondere die Filme kennzeichnend sind: Die zeitliche Unbestimmtheit und die Konzeption anderer Räume an der Schwelle zwischen der realen Welt und dem geistigen Reich des Unterbewussten und Unausgesprochenen zählen ebenso dazu wie die Produktionsbedingungen, der Inszenierungscharakter und die vielfach gesungenen Texte. Die Beiträge von René Zechlin und Annette Südbeck hingegen widmen sich aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive den medialen, semantischen und historischen Ebenen zweier zentraler Motive: dem Spiegel und dem Schatten. Ulla von Brandenburg verwendet sie in den verschiedensten Techniken, so auch in Form der für ihr Werk charakteristischen Scherenschnitte und Schattenspiele, um die Wirklichkeitsebenen und Grenzbereiche zwischen Sein und Schein auszuloten. 0Exhibition: Secession, Vienna, Austria (19.9.-10.11.2013) / Kunstverein Hannover, Germany (2014).

Book Description
In Latinx Art Arlene Dávila draws on numerous interviews with artists, dealers, and curators to explore the problem of visualizing Latinx art and artists. Providing an inside and critical look of the global contemporary art market, Dávila's book is at once an introduction to contemporary Latinx art and a call to decolonize the art worlds and practices that erase and whitewash Latinx artists. Dávila shows the importance of race, class, and nationalism in shaping contemporary art markets while providing a path for scrutinizing art and culture institutions and for diversifying the art world.

Book Description
Stitches and sutures: tracing the body and landscape in Troy Montes-Michie's collages To tailor a garment by "rock of eye" is to rely on the drape--on experience over mathematical measurement--in the fitting process. It is a kind of drawing in space--a freehand, an intuition, a trust of materials. Rock of Eye, published on the occasion of Troy Montes-Michie's (born 1985) solo exhibition at the California African American Museum, is a collection of the artist's collages, drawings, and found and woven images sourced from vintage erotic magazines, French tailoring magazines, found photographs and other materials. These materials are familiar from Montes-Michie's recent large-scale paintings and collages that center on the Black male body and his series that traces the social history and form of the zoot suit. Troy Montes-Michie was born in El Paso and his practice reflects his experience growing up along the US/Mexico border. This book is a study in ambiguity between portraiture and landscape; his are the cuts and folds of patterning and mapping. In Rock of Eye, Montes-Michie's stitches suture histories and geographies; they establish thresholds for crossing; his needle hits rock. Including essays by Tina Campt and editor Andrea Andersson, with an interview by Brent Edwards, Rock of Eye is a tactile and sensuous artist's book recalling the form of fabric swatch books and affirming that collage is an art of selection.

Book Description
Myths, fantasies and speculations lie at the heart of Marguerite Humeau’s work. Always treading the line between research and fiction, her projects result from in-depth investigations and collaborations with specialists and scientists. At the Palais de Tokyo and Nottingham Contemporary, Humeau is offering a series of unique physical and sensory experiences. Her exhibition FOXP2 is named for the gene whose mutation enabled the arrival of articulate language at the source of our humanity. Here the artist is re-enacting the origins of life and the development of conscious life forms. Imagining a world where giant elephants dominate the planet, Humeau has artificially designed creatures endowed with emotions and consciousness.

Book Description
This publication presents a comprehensive overview of Michael Landy's complete works. Michael Landy (b. 1963) belongs to the group of Young British Artists, who, beginning in 1988, caused an international sensation. He created installations, in which real life and fiction entered into an unsettling liaison. With his works, he raises essential (unspoken) questions: How does the ownership of material objects affect us? What do we need to live? But also: How creative is destruction?
