Bdp autumn 2017 catalogue by APD Singapore

Autumn 2017

Hello We are pleased to announce Black Dog Publishing’s Autumn 2017 catalogue, which includes an exciting range of new titles, as well as recent bestsellers and our renowned backlist. New titles for the autumn season include Bish Bosch, the first scholarly analysis of Scott Walker’s work published with the musician’s permission; Becoming Animal, a study of existential human experience through art; and folly, a beautiful publication of British artist Phyllida Barlow’s work for the upcoming British Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale. Celebrating 150 years of Canada, we are excited to introduce The Faraway Nearby, which offers stunning documentation and a unique view into Canadian history through photographs published in The New York Times. Alongside this, Kent Monkman: Shame and Prejudice, A Story of Resilience, our second publication with the artist, documents an extensive collection of his paintings, drawings and sculptural work, which offer the audience an acute and scathing commentary on Canada’s chequered history. We are also pleased to announce the reprinting of Wreckers of Civilisation, the iconic book that explored the history of the British musical and visual arts group Throbbing Gristle. Finally, this season’s catalogue presents two fascinating titles that are of great importance for America, and that have gained the support of the acclaimed, far-reaching and ambitious Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative from Getty, which explores Latin American and Latino art. The first, How to Read El Pato Pascual, is a thrilling investigation into Walt Disney’s influence on Latin American popular culture and visual art, and intends to show how culture is created through a sequence of exchanges, responses and (mis)appropriations. This is followed by Guatemala from 33,000 km, the first major publication that documents Guatemalan contemporary art, and the sociopolitical trends that made the country's art scene flourish. As always, we continue to support our diverse range of popular backlist titles including Picasso: The Artist and His Muses; RAVE: Rave and its Influence on Art and Culture; Turn and Face the Strange; Lost Utopias; The Beaver Hall Group: 1920s Modernism in Montreal; The Nuclear Culture Source Book; Frank Bros.: The Store That Modernized Modern, and many more.

HOW TO READ EL PATO PASCUAL Disney’s Latin America and Latin America’s Disney Editors: Jesse Lerner and Rubén Ortiz-Torres

Investigating the reception and reuse of the imagery of one of the world’s largest production companies, How to Read El Pato Pascual explores the prevalent presence of Walt Disney in Latin America. Examined through artworks including painting, photography, graphic work, drawing, sculpture and video, as well as vernacular objects and documentary material, the book considers Disney’s engagement within Latin America, extending from Donald Duck’s first featured role, the 1937 Mexican-themed short Don Donald, to the 2013 attempt to copyright the Day of the Dead. The reach and influence of Disney is also examined in a series of commissioned essays drawing on cultural studies, historical research and postcolonial theory. How to Read El Pato Pascual also features a reprint of How to Read Donald Duck (Chile, 1971), an essay by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart that critiques Disney comics through a Marxist lens as vehicles of American cultural imperialism. The book includes artistic contributions from artists including Liliana Porter, Nadín Ospina, Enrique Chagoya, and Arturo Herrera, as well as written contributions from Jesse Lerner and Rubén Ortiz-Torres, amongst others.

Guatemala from 33,000 km: Contemporary Art from 1960– Present features artists, works and themes that have defined Guatemala’s contemporary art scene since the 1960s. The book brings together works that have rarely been seen outside Guatemala, but that speak to a range of formal, political and social concerns that permeate contemporary art both in Latin America and across the globe. Featuring artwork in a range of media that traces the tumultuous route traversed through the history of Guatemala since the mid-twentieth century, the book is structured around clusters or groups of works that represent central ideas, themes and media that have been pivotal in Guatemala’s art over the last 50 plus years. These clusters are: art and politics; land, landscape, territory; popular cultures; racism and identities; religion, spirituality, metaphysics; gender perspectives; violence and trauma; art histories; and formal experimentation. The book contains full-colour reproductions of the works, as well as essays that relay a wealth of new research, by curators and Guatemalan scholars Rosina Cazali Escobar, Silvia Herrera Ubico, Mario Roberto Morales and Martín Fernández Ordóñez. Guatemala from 33,000 km is a visual record of many works that have been not been documented. It will itself be a product of contemporary Guatemalan artistic practitioners, and is designed by Ambush Studio, which is based in Guatemala City. Published in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, in conjunction with the exhibition Guatemala from 33,000 km: Contemporary Art from 1960–Present.

Bish Bosch: Ambisymphonic presents the first scholarly analysis of Scott Walker’s work, and is the first book to be published with the musician’s permission. The publication will critically examine Walker’s uncompromising, avant-garde ‘trilogy’, which began with Tilt in 1995, continued with The Drift 11 years later, and concluded in 2012 with his longest studio album to date, Bish Bosch. In 2013, Walker teamed up with British mixed-media artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard to create Bish Bosch: Ambisymphonic, an utterly unique and immersive sonic reimagining of the groundbreaking album. The book features a rare interview conducted with Scott Walker by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard on the making of the installation, together with fragments of the Bish Bosch score, the complete spatialisation script, rare never-before-seen pictures and notebook pages, and Walker’s handwritten lyrics, made available by the musician himself. In addition, several binaural mixes of the ambisonic arrangements of the tracks featured in the installation will be included as a digital download. The Wire’s Rob Young and curator and writer Christopher Scoates succinctly place Walker’s work within the history of sound art and the larger context of experimental music, while a roster of Walker’s collaborators provide insight into the working practices of this most reclusive of musicians.

WRECKERS OF CIVILISATION Editor: Simon Ford

“These people are the wreckers of civilisation”, exclaimed the Conservative Member of Parliament Nicholas Fairbairn in 1976. His outburst was meant to describe four artists and musicians: Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Peter Christopherson and Chris Carter—members of the seminal band Throbbing Gristle. Throbbing Gristle are widely lauded as the band that invented industrial music, and their influence can be observed across today’s musical landscape: from house and techno to industrial death metal. Wherever experimental electronic music is being made, Throbbing Gristle’s influence can be felt. From the foreword by Jon Savage: “Wreckers of Civilisation recalls a time which, despite volumes of print, remains occluded, obdurate, even intimidating: that moment before the conservative reconstruction. To be awake in London in the late 1970s was to be plunged into turmoil: externally manifest in riot, internally within various forms of damage and depression and, if one felt brave or driven, extreme aesthetics. Throbbing Gristle’s work marks the furthest reaches of that impulse: even more so than punk, they plunged into a technological and personal examination of the dark side—the forbidden, the taboo, the dystopian future on the doorstep. Today this might seem like science fiction or deliberate shock tactics, but then it seemed like reportage, front line dispatches from a convulsed country.” Reprinted nearly two decades after its original release, the book coincides with Hull—the city in northern England from which Throbbing Gristle hail—being named UK City of Culture. For perhaps the first time, the eyes of the world will be trained not just on Hull, but on its most controversial cultural provocateurs.

folly presents the British Council’s new commission created by Phyllida Barlow for the British Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale. Best known for her colossal sculptural projects, for over five decades Barlow has employed a distinctive vocabulary of inexpensive materials such as plywood, cardboard, plaster, rubber, cement, fabric and paint to create striking sculptures and bold and expansive installations that confront the relationship between objects and the space that surrounds them. Drawing on memories of familiar objects from her surroundings, Barlow’s practice is grounded in an anti-monumental tradition characterised by her physical experience of handling materials in an expedient and direct way. Phyllida Barlow was born in 1944 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Barlow studied at Chelsea College of Art (1960–1963) and the Slade School of Art (1963–1966). Her recent solo exhibitions include: demo, Kunsthalle Zürich, 2016; tryst, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, 2015; dock, the Duveen Commission at Tate Britain, London, 2014; HOARD, Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, 2013; scree, Des Moines Art Center, 2013; siege, New Museum, New York, 2012; Cast, Kunstverein Nürnberg, Nuremberg, Germany, 2011; and in 2010, she was in the critically acclaimed two-person show at the Serpentine Gallery, London with Nairy Baghramian. In 2011 she became a Royal Academician, and she was awarded a CBE in 2015. Phyllida Barlow is represented by Hauser & Wirth.

On the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, The Faraway Nearby presents a century of Canadian history through photographs published in The New York Times, the United States’ “newspaper of record”. The book will take readers on a visual journey through photographs ranging from breaking news to portraiture, depicting many of the key events and personalities that helped to define Canada in the twentieth century. Taking an expansive view of many of the diverse histories that have constituted Canadian life, The Faraway Nearby highlights images of major political events and conflicts, the Canadian role in wartime, iconic landscapes across the nation, hockey and other sports heroes, and candid reportage on the lives of everyday Canadians. Also featured prominently are images of Indigenous peoples, immigrant communities, notable international figures on official visits to Canada, as well as portraits of such iconic figures as Margaret Atwood, Glenn Gould, Marshall McLuhan, Mary Pickford and Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The publication draws from an archive of nearly 25,000 photographs of Canadian subject matter that appeared in The New York Times, a promised gift to the Ryerson Image Centre from the collection of Toronto-based entrepreneur Chris Bratty.

BECOMING ANIMAL Editors: Claus Carstensen, Jens Tang Kristensen Contributors: Brian Massumi, Raymond Tallis, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, Donald Preziosi et al “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.” —Ecclesiastes, 3:18–19 What does it mean to be human? Unlike animals, who have little to no consciousness of their own existence or the inevitability of death, humans are painfully conscious of themselves, the limits of life, and the emptiness that lies ahead. Becoming Animal explores the existential nature of human experience through a rich survey of major modern and postmodern artworks in a visually and critically ambitious cross section of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art. This investigation builds from a literary and philosophical framework that addresses the development of consciousness and self-awareness. Through a series of apparently irreconcilable artistically and politically divergent movements, empty transcendence is confronted by the enduring concepts of eternity and utopia. In particular, Symbolism and Minimalism are juxtaposed as art movements that shaped the nineteenth and twentieth centuries’ exploration of the relationship between life and death, emptiness and meaning, with their specific artistic languages. Featuring artists such as Francisco de Goya, Albert Oehlen, Gardar Eide Einarsson and Matias Faldbakken, Becoming Animal also includes essays from international thinkers on emptiness and transcendence in modern and contemporary art, including Giorgio Agamben, Michael Kjær, Claus Carstensen, Anne Gregersen and Rosalind Krauss. Becoming Animal coincides with an exhibition produced by a collaboration between Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen, and the Museum of Religious Art, Lemvig, which will run from spring to autumn 2018.

‘Matrix and metaphor’, ‘emptiness and volume’, ‘overlayering and penetration’, ‘system and syntax’ and ‘form and structure’ are terms Hartmut Böhm offers to his audience in exploring his work. Known for his use of industrial materials, Böhm is one of the most influential German non-figurative and minimalist artists of his generation. Hartmut Böhm is the first substantial publication of the artist’s work to be published in the English language. As a major influence in Europe’s Constructivist art movement in the 1960s, Böhm’s art has been included in numerous revolutionary exhibitions, such as the 1964 exhibition Nouvelle Tendance at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Palais du Louvre, as well as one of the first survey exhibitions of Kinetic art in Europe: Kinetika in Vienna. His later work steps away from geometric art and its dogmas, and explores mathematical systems through simple and repetitive installations, which aim to find discipline and structure to confront and oppose the chaos of the world. His work is currently included in 70 public collections worldwide, including the Neuberger Museum of Art, New York; Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University, Massachusetts; Kunstmuseum Bonn; Museum Ritter, Waldenbuch; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk; Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, amongst many others.

Born in Canada, Stephen Appleby-Barr is a young artist who employs a classical style in a contemporary world, creating oil paintings and etchings that call to mind Renaissance art with a postmodern twist. Inspired by the dramatic work of Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Goya and Velázquez, Appleby-Barr infuses these elements with arcane references, sci-fi allusions and comic touches. The Pale Path explores Appleby-Barr’s artistic practice, juxtaposing it with images by artists such as Bosch, Delacroix, Freud and Goya as reference points. An accompanying essay by writer and philosopher Mark Kingwell will wind mesmerisingly throughout the book, surrounded by Appleby-Barr’s figurative painting, surreal pastiche and anthropomorphic figures. Appleby-Barr is a member of Team Macho, an artist collective previously featured in the 2007 publication Fancy Action Now: The Art of Team Macho. His work has featured in exhibitions at the Harbourfront Centre, Toronto; Gallery Hanahou, New York; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Magic Pony, Toronto; and Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto. “It’s as though Rembrandt or Vermeer had played Dungeons & Dragons, or been obsessed by The Hobbit.” —The Toronto Star

MEL KENDRICK Wood Blocks Water Drawings Marking the artist’s first major publication in his 30-year-plus career, Mel Kendrick: Wood Blocks Water Drawings presents a collection of the American artist’s wood block prints and water drawings. Produced over a period from the early 1990s to the present day, Kendrick’s prints explore bold yet complex arrangements, all the while introducing the subtle grain of the wood, signifying the organic quality of the artist’s creative process. These large-scale prints, typically measuring 3 × 2 metres in size, are largely informed by the artist’s ongoing sculptural practice, in both spatial engagement and process. Kendrick’s work is discussed within the book through texts that investigate the relationship that the works hold with both architectural and artistic influencers, as well as with his wellestablished sculptural practice, through which he has a storied history of using wood, bronze, rubber, paper and cast concrete. Kendrick has exhibited extensively and to great acclaim since the mid-1970s at institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York, among many others. His work is included in many significant public collections, including those of the Art Institute of Chicago; the Brooklyn Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the Francis J. Greenburger Award and the Academy Award for Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Kent Monkman’s new, large-scale project takes the viewer on a journey through Canada’s history that starts in the present and takes us back to 150 years before Confederation. With its entry points in the harsh urban environment of Winnipeg’s north end, and contemporary life on the reserve, Kent Monkman: Shame and Prejudice, A Story of Resilience takes us all the way back to the period of New France and the fur trade. The Rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is reinterpreted as an installation with Monkman’s alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, in a beaver-trimmed baroque dress, swinging back and forth between the Generals Wolfe and Montcalm. As both artist and curator, the book coincides with Kent Monkman’s first major solo exhibition at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, and includes his own paintings, drawings and sculptural works, in dialogue with historical artefacts and artworks borrowed from museum and private collections from across Canada. Kent Monkman is a Canadian artist of Cree ancestry who works with a variety of mediums, including painting, film/video, performance and installation. He has had exhibitions at numerous major museums worldwide, including Witte de With, Rotterdam; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto; and MASS MoCA, Massachusetts. The book accompanies a travelling North American exhibition of Monkman's work stopping at nine venues through to 2020, including the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, the University of Quebec and the Museum of Anthropology.

EMPIRE OF ILLUSION Terry Munro Over the past decade Canadian artist Terry Munro has concentrated his creative efforts in documenting one street: Las Vegas Boulevard in Nevada, USA. Visually, Las Vegas offers an unprecedented environment that purposely and at great expense seeks to interrogate the relationship between reality, symbols and society in often bizarre, ethnocentric, exaggerated, extraordinary and outrageous ways. It is a place that demands the craving of fantasy, ecstasy and illusion. Munro’s photographs deal in part with the architecture of the region and how the real and fiction are seamlessly blended together, with themes for some of the largest hotels in the world spanning from the Roman Empire and contemporary Paris to ancient Egypt. Rising from a vast desolate desert, the city is a strange and massive American economic engine fuelled by entertainment, gambling, consumerism and sex. The photographs presented here in duotone by Munro distil the hyperbole and extravagance of the Las Vegas strip to reveal simple truths about spectacle as the final manifestation of capitalism. Exploring the ideas and influences of Munro, Bill Jeffries has contributed a text that explores these themes in more detail, and how the photographer’s work sits within the canon of North American photography. Terry Munro is a Canadian artist who lives in Calgary and Vancouver. His photographs can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Canada Council Art Bank and many others. He is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute in California. Bill Jeffries is a writer, artist and former curator, and was recently the Director/ Curator of Presentation House Gallery and Simon Fraser University Galleries in Vancouver.

Neil Gall: The Drawings brings together nearly 60 works of paper by British artist Neil Gall, created from 2005 up to the present. The book will offer an overview of Gall’s engagement with the medium of drawing and, in so doing, highlight this important thread running through his practice. Gall’s works typically engage a range of cultural and art historical references, all of which operate within his own unique and precisely determined visual language. In recent years, the artist has developed a highly skilful and virtuosic approach to drawing, which involves a rendering of loosely constructed maquettes, assembled using coloured tape, translucent cellophane, ping-pong balls and other materials that he finds in his studio. Neil Gall was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, and currently lives and works in London. He received his BA in Painting at Gray’s School of Art and then attended Slade School of Art in London in 1991. His art has garnered him numerous awards in Great Britain, and his work is featured in prominent international collections including the Denver Art Museum, The Morgan Library, New York and the Zabludowicz Collection, London. Gall is represented by David Nolan Gallery in New York and Aurel Scheibler Gallery in Berlin.

Editors: Jane Warrilow, Elizabeth Ogilvie Contributors: Andrew Patrizio, Katherine Heron, Tim Ingold, Bergit Arends, Astrid Ogilvie, Julie Decker et al Elizabeth Ogilvie is a Scottish environmental artist who focuses on the psychological, physical and poetic dimensions of ice and water. Out of Ice was Ogilvie’s gigantic immersive art piece, a site-specific work designed for the vast Ambika P3, a London gallery and former construction hall. Her work is deeply concerned with nature, global warming, the age of the Anthropocene and deep time, employing a fusion of art, architecture and science. This publication will explore one of the most significant artists of her generation in Scotland: it includes essays focusing on critical interrogation of Ogilvie’s work but also poetry, journal extracts and the artist’s own writing. A series of stunning images will document Ogilvie’s field research and experimental work, the Out of Ice installation process, and the artist’s community engagement. Ogilvie was the recipient of a Creative Scotland/National Lottery Award, as well as an Arts Council of England grant and a Saltire Award for Art in Architecture. She is the founder/ director of Scottish-based cultural trust Lateral Lab, and she has exhibited in numerous galleries worldwide, including in Korea, Germany, Iceland and Japan.

How do artists in Toronto visualise their sense of place? Are there particular made-in-Toronto ways of thinking about the city? Bringing together work selected by internationally renowned Toronto-based artist Luis Jacob, Form Follows Fiction: Art and Artists in Toronto concentrates on a period of more than 50 years to consider the ways in which artists visualise Toronto. Presenting a thematic clustering of works by 86 artists, the book is premised on the tendency of artists in the city to favour performative and allegorical procedures to articulate their sense of place. Four gestures—mapping, modelling, performing and congregating—serve as signposts to a diverse array of artistic practices. The book is a constellation of symbolic forms, or memes, that repeatedly appear in the work of artists of different generations; it presents a panorama of the blueprints that artists have drafted over many decades to give form to life in one of North America’s largest cities. The book includes historical documents gathered from local archives, contemporary ephemera and work from artists including Suzy Lake, Kent Monkman, Ed Pien, Roula Partheniou, General Idea, Oliver Husain, Lisa Steele and Michael Snow.

The story of contemporary painting in Canada is constantly under revision, and for good reason—dynamic and influential art practices, wildly differing opinions, strongly held beliefs and high expectations make for a charged atmosphere in art schools, studios and public and private galleries. Within this community of painters, strong ideas give shape to new modes of painting, new techniques and new dogmas that are in turn shared, debated, tested and critiqued in studios across the country. Entangled: Two Views on Contemporary Canadian Painting offers an insight into two distinctly different modes that have come to dominate contemporary painting in this country. The origins of both can be effectively traced back to the 1970s, to a moment when the continued existence of painting was hotly debated. Within that debate two new strategies were devised: one that proposed the possibility of conceptual painting—a highly refined notion of painting that emerged from and returned to the ‘idea’—and a second, ambivalent proposition that valued actions and materials over ideas: in short, doing and making were pitted against ideas and concepts. Entangled: Two Views on Contemporary Canadian Painting traces the legacy of that debate and documents the work of 32 artists who have been largely responsible for the strong revival that painting now enjoys in Canada. With work by artists from Halifax to Victoria and many places in-between, the book offers a convincing survey of the lively exchanges that make painting relevant and meaningful today, including the work of Gary Neill Kennedy, Gerald Ferguson, Jeffrey Spalding, Stephanie Aitken, Marvin Luvualu Antonio and Rebecca Brewer.

Simon English: my big self decoy justin beiber brings together a significant new body of painted drawings by the artist that format themselves around the double page spread, with both image and text on the page to invite and resist quiet contemplation. These exquisitely delicate and brutal drawings tussle with one another for space, pulling the viewer into the energetic and colourful vortex of the artist’s psyche. Diaries jostle with devotions, desires and disputes—a confabulation of friction and fiction in a place where fetish and fact collide. Simon English draws across the blank page with the instincts of one entering cyberspace. His surfing history is left only too clear on the surface of the page, or buried beneath heavy black deletions and overpainting. His are the ‘old’ gremlins, the monsters within that say one is too much and more is never enough. In 2004, Bill Arning wrote that “for picture addicts like myself, English is the equivalent of a crack dealer”. The work within the book is brought together with written contributions from Laurence Scott, who will contribute a text emanating from English’s imaginary drawing database, and Sally O’Reilly, who will construct a voice for the work somewhere between art, theory, fiction and fantasy. Simon English is a Berlin-born British artist based in London who made his debut in Young British Artists III at the Saatchi Gallery in 1994. Since then, his work has been exhibited in galleries, museums and institutions worldwide. Laurence Scott is a writer and author of the book The Four-Dimensional Human. Sally O’Reilly is a writer and critic who recently published her first novel, Crude.

Since 2009, Iris Häussler has produced the complete oeuvre of unknown French painter Sophie La Rosière, who died in 1948. In fact, Häussler has created an artistic persona through which to channel this fictitious artist’s secrets, while at the same time fabricating a biography for her and an elaborate backstory of a hidden erotic liaison that intersects with real people, historical events and actual artistic movements. The paintings are merely a kernel within the larger shell of La Rosière’s life circumstances, which include the recreation of her studio, its products and detritus, and the elements of a forensic investigation that tries to answer the questions, after the paintings’ discovery, of why these paintings were abandoned, why they were concealed by a layer of black encaustic and, ultimately, what secrets do they conceal? Following the spirit of the overall project, this book includes a catalogue raisonné of all Sophie La Rosière’s 293 works, forensic evidence, expert analyses and official reports. Iris Häussler is a German-born conceptual and installation artist, who lives and works in Toronto, Canada. She consistently works with immersive installations that revolve around fictitious stories. Beginning with detailed biographies of invented characters, she builds the material evidence of their obsessive lives and works. This results in unsettling sitespecific environments in domestic dwellings, historical houses and museum spaces.

THE BOOK OF NEOISM?! Author: Istvan Kantor

The Book of Neoism?! brings together the collected writings of Hungarian-Canadian artist and cultural provocateur Istvan Kantor, one of the early members of the Neoism movement. The central tenet of Neoism is to ‘make shit happen’, be that ritualistic book burnings, public ‘blood protests’ at MOMA, raucous musical performances or innovative experiments in sculptural form. This parodic movement originated as an underground network in Canada in the late 1970s, operating as a subversive collective creating controversies, live installations and, eventually, an international subculture. Its members employed shared pseudonyms, most notably ‘Monty Cantsin’, which Kantor himself appropriated for his performance art. In this publication, Kantor will continue this tradition by using AMEN. as his nom de plume. This is Black Dog Publishing's second book regarding the work of Kantor. The first, Rivington School, tells the story of his time founding a punk movement on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Most recently, Kantor hit the headlines after he missed his own book burning due to being detained by customs authorities. Kantor’s further writings are brash and experimental, forming a vital part of underground subcultural history, and The Book of Neoism?! promises to shed light on the infamous activities of twentieth-century Neoists.

FORM, MODEL, SYNTAX, DISPLAY Terence Gower Sculpture Works Editor: Terence Gower

UK Sep 2017 US/CAN Nov 2017 Hardback ISBN: 978-1-911164-48-7 £24.95 · $34.95 24 × 22 cm · 8.5 × 9.5 in 128 pages · 70 ills

Form, Model, Syntax, Display is the third monograph on the work of Terence Gower. Although best known for his large research-based installations on twentieth-century architecture and urbanism, this recent body of work analyses post-war abstract sculpture. Gower is interested in how abstract form— in sculpture and architecture—represents abstract ideas, and how these forms’ associated meanings change over time. He has studied the work of artists such as Barbara Hepworth and Isamu Noguchi, using drawing, room-sized mobiles and sculptures in papier mâché, polystyrene, stone and concrete. The design of this book, including its layout and title, is closely modelled on the 1960s Vision & Value book series (Braziller, New York), in which György Kepes invited contributors from wide-ranging disciplines to write on the same cultural or scientific theme. Gower has invited seven writers from literature, art and the social sciences to contribute essays, each accompanied by documentation from the artist’s ten-year study of modern sculpture. Form, Model, Syntax, Display is published to coincide with the installation of Six Formes, a public artwork commissioned by the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.

Gary Pearson is an inventive and protean artist who works in a contemporary idiom, but in the vein of Northern Expressionism. Pearson has a dark sensibility, using mainly graphic rather than painterly means in his work, which explores the human condition. The artist also produces large-scale drawings, and his restless creativity has led him to make videos as well, both fictional/ conceptual and documentary. Pearson has travelled widely, having participated in exhibitions and artist’s residencies in New York, Germany, Norway, Poland, Mexico and Australia. When on the road or at residencies, he generally works on paper and at a small scale, as well as writing in his journal. His small pieces later feed into large paintings once he is back in his Kelowna studio. An award-winning artist, Pearson has been Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Kelowna, Canada, since 1991. Gary Pearson: Short Fictions includes texts on Pearson’s work by Canadian writers Aaron Peck, Michael Turner and Liz Wylie (the curator of the major solo exhibition this book accompanies). There is also a transcription of an interview with the artist by internationally known Canadian writer and curator Ihor Holubizky.

WHAT NOW? On Future Identities Editors: Anne Barlow, Kristen Chappa What Now? On Future Identities examines the notions of ‘future identities’ through discussions around the construction of the self, queer theory, self-determination, mutability, the body, technology and social media, as well as the ever-evolving relationship between the digital and the material. Bringing together contributions from artists, curators, educators, cultural theorists and psychologists, alongside artists’ interventions, What Now? On Future Identities is the second in a series of publications that coincide with a symposium of the same name, held by Art in General, New York. The book considers how this contemporary political moment is different from the kinds of activism that arose around identity politics during the 1960s through to the 1990s, and how new thinking might shape ideas around ‘performing citizenship’ or creating a new sense of commons in the future. What Now? On Future Identities follows Black Dog Publishing’s previous title with Art in General, What Now? The Politics of Listening. The series is ongoing, with another title to be published next season.

Necropolitics and its Discontents addresses the relationship between the contemporary political production of death and the way mortality is figured in contemporary visual practices. This unique volume brings artists and theorists together to examine the complex ways in which mortality intersects with questions of political community, belonging and identity, as explored in contemporary art practice and debate. At a time of unprecedented public violence and refugee crises, Necropolitics and its Discontents addresses the contribution of artistic practices to thinking through the culture of precarity and death that characterises the current historical moment. The book offers a unique interdisciplinary intervention into current debates on the political and economic instrumentalisation of death, demonstrating the important role of contemporary art in providing alternative images and ideas for the contemporary political imagination. Combining formats such as the visual essay with critical theoretical interventions that draw upon contemporary political philosophy, ethnography, economics and art theory, this volume is an important contribution to understanding the processes shaping contemporary political cultures of death.

Bringing together work produced over the past decade, Des Hughes: One Hand Washes the Other is the most comprehensive publication on the British artist’s work to date. Des Hughes' work bears witness to an obsessive, physical enquiry into the materials, methods and traditions of sculpture, rethinking conventional scu lptural materials such as plaster, marble, bronze and clay. Nothing is as it first appears; crudely modelled clay is meticulously cast in resin but, with the inclusion of marble dust, it may appear to have been carved and polished from a block of stone or fashioned from a piece of chewing gum. Hughes also considers the purpose or meaning of sculpture— from the functional doorstop to the sacred effigy. Traditions are revised as he rethinks ecclesiastical equipment and relics as macabre joke-shop props or as modern, abstract sculptural forms (and vice versa). The traditional materials of sculpture are called into question and a robust sense of imagery recalls classic British horror. There is a tender acknowledgement of the twentieth-century modernist canon, while a pre-romantic and more medieval moment is reimagined, with a sombre world view of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure and the certainty of death. Des Hughes is a British artist who studied at Bath School of Art and Design and Goldsmiths, University of London. He has exhibited at galleries including the Henry Moore Foundation, The Hepworth Wakefield, Nottingham Contemporary and Tate Britain. The book includes a wide selection of Hughes’ work, as well as texts that contextualise the artist’s work within the scope of contemporary art practice.

AFTER THE EDUCATIONAL TURN Critical Art Pedagogies and Decolonialism Contributors: Dave Beech, Kjell Caminha, Glenn Loughran, Steven Henry Madoff, Paul O’Neill, Khashayar Naderehvandi, Mick Wilson

After the Educational Turn explores the condition and critical potential of contemporary art education with a particular focus on the question of decolonialism. In the era of the globalised art world, when worldwide norms of practice (the biennial, the white cube, the artist’s residency, the art fair) and a competitive economy of higher arts education providers have been established, this volume challenges the conventional frameworks for thinking about critical art education. The book takes its title from the widely recognised phenomenon of the last two decades whereby artistic and curatorial practices adopted pedagogical frameworks for the realisation and production of art (the Educational Turn) and asks how the formally instituted practices for the education of artists now operate in the wake of this critical reconstruction of education within art practice itself. At a time when the global discussion of critical educational practice is overshadowed by neoliberal assaults on public culture, After the Educational Turn seeks to inform the future development of art educational praxis by drawing upon the project of decolonialism. Decolonialism challenges the political, social and cultural domination established through the Eurocentric construction of knowledge and practice; it seeks to produce emancipatory paradigms of knowledge by drawing upon multiple cultural traditions and the concrete project of decolonisation operative for several centuries throughout Latin America, Africa and Asia. Drawing upon the cross-fertilisation of experimental artistic practice, critical pedagogy and decolonialism, this volume provides a resource for the next generation of critical arts pedagogies and reclaims an emancipatory role for art education.

The Beaver Hall Group’s arrival on the Montreal scene in late May 1920 coincided with a pivotal moment in the history of Canadian art. In the wake of the war, a new generation of artists was looking for new modes of expression. Earlier in May, the founding of the Group of Seven was marked in Toronto by its first exhibition. The leaders of the Toronto group and the positive reviews that ensued bolstered those who had ideas on art differing from those held by the establishment. Simultaneously, the artists who banded together in Montreal shared the same desire to shed light on aesthetic options that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. At the first annual exhibition of the Beaver Hall Group, in January 1921, a critic declared that “the Montreal art scene has just been given a new boost.”1 Another reviewer was quick to identify a particular characteristic: “Individual expression… is the aim of this group.”2 The cohesive aesthetic and

ideological vision that developed with the Group of Seven and spearheaded a certain Canadian identity — predominantly defined by landscapes of the untamed North — was not fully embraced by the Montreal group, which instead emphasized the urban life of an already centuries-old Canadian city with deep and intricate roots. The larger number of artists associated with the Beaver Hall Group also fostered greater diversity in subject matter and styles. But the group’s most distinctive characteristic was the composition of its membership, half of whom were women, making this mixed group the first association in Canada to unite professional, modernist women artists. The short-lived existence of the Beaver Hall Group continued to be felt in the practices of its most innovative members, and the contacts that had preceded and led to its formation persisted in friendships, professional

The Beaver Hall Group were early adopters of new modernist approaches to painting and explored their potential in a variety of genres including portraiture, still life, landscape and urban scenes. Through an examination of documented exhibitions, press coverage, photographs and key works from the period, the book gives a fascinating insight into the reach of the group by concentrating on 30 established artists including Mabel May, Barbara Meadowcroft, Emily Coonan and Kathleen Morris.

On the Table 7 LEARNING TO SEE YOURSELF

LEARNING TO SEE YO U R S E L F

Let’s start with the self-evident. Great art is almost always a statement of truth and deception, revelations and hypocrisy, profound emotional release and an artistic game. Great representational art is always abstract, just as abstract art is representational. I often think of the assertions from Borduas and Riopelle that they had finally exorcised nature from Canadian painting through abstraction. Take another look at their paintings. All you can see is nature. Van Gogh painted evident irises. Self-evident irises. Much later, these canvases sold for tens of millions to people who thought they wanted irises. I have stood in the walled garden of the mental asylum on the edge of Saint-Rémy-deProvence, staring at the bed of irises which inspired Van Gogh, and it is clear that he did not paint irises. What did he paint? I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that he created a painting which is not at all what it appears to be. When you look at Kent Monkman’s Four Continents you may pass from startled silence to an embarrassed giggle to an honest laugh, only to find yourself feeling uncomfortable, then confused, then moved, wondering what he has done to you. Good painters do things to us. The better they are the more they do. At first the Monkman contradictions seem obvious, then unclear. And then there is somehow a frightening ease of style — apparently in one manner or another — until you realize that he has turned all of these manners into something of his own. Morphing would be the wrong term because he continually re-adjusts the mix to produce a sequence of destabilizing styles. I guess you could say he has the trickster in him.

This is a concept non-Indigenous Canadians once knew, then forgot, and now are learning again. It is easily talked of in mythology and theatre and fiction. But it belongs as much, if not more, in art. Is this part of the discourse of formal Western art history? No. Even though it would have been a good concept for art in general. The thing is that today we can see the role of the trickster in art in Canada. And we

In response, Killingsworth gathered together his office staff and dashed to La Jolla to start cleaning. At the same time, Stanley Young, a sales associate and interior

reading of the incident sheds valuable light on an under-examined chapter in the history of interior design in Southern California. The story unfolds as follows. The Triad (Case Study House #23; 1959–60) comprised three adjacent single-family residences that were intended as a pilot project for a larger housing tract in La Jolla. John Entenza, the editor of Arts & Architecture magazine, was set to feature the work in the March 1961 issue. He was under a tight deadline and had hired Julius Shulman to photograph the project. Unfortunately, however, it wasn’t ready. The project’s developer had lost all of his money gambling at the del Mar

designer with Frank Bros., loaded up three vans of furniture. Once Young arrived on the site, he set to work staging each house, carefully selecting furnishings and accessories in order to bring out the distinct character of each design.

Frank Bros. was at the forefront of modern furniture sales in the United States during the middle of the twentieth century, serving as the primary retailer for some of the most recognisable names in mid-century design. This unique publication documents the history of a store that changed the way Americans responded to their domestic environment. Using pioneering methodologies and practices such as in-house exhibitions, eye-catching graphic design and a specialised sales force, Frank Bros. not only promoted a re-envisioned post-war lifestyle, but also educated the public on the precepts of good design. Frank Bros.: The Store That Modernized Modern comprises archival material, ephemera, essays and interviews, providing a rich complexion of the influence that one store in Long Beach had across an entire country.

Glass: Virtual, Real

When you set up the foundation of kiln to make glass, you first search in a favorable month for a propitious day, and only then you set up the foundation of the kiln. As soon as you have completely finished in the building of the kiln, and you go and place Kubu-images there, no outsider or stranger should enter the building thereafter; an unclean person must not even pass in front of the images. You regularly perform libation offerings before the Kubu-images. On the day when you plan to place the glass in the kiln, you make a sheep sacrifice before the Kubu-images, you place juniper incense on the censer, you pour out a libation of honey and liquid butter, and then only, you make a fire in the hearth of the kiln and place the glass in the kiln.... The wood that you burn in the hearth of the furnace should be thick, peeled poplar wood, which has no knots, bound together with leather straps, cut in the month of the Abu [July or August]. Only this wood should be in the hearth of the furnace. The persons whom you allow to come near the kiln have to be [ritually] clean and only then can you allow them to come down to the kiln. If you want to produce zagindurû-colored [greenish type of lapis lazuli] glass, you finely grind, separately, ten minas [about one pound] of immanakku-stone [sand], fifteen minas of naga-plant ashes, and 1–2/3 minas of “white plant”. You mix these together. You put them into a cold kiln which has four fire openings, and arrange the mixture between the four openings.... You keep a good and smokeless fire burning until the glass glows golden yellow. You pour it on a kiln-fired brick and this is called zukû-glass.11

This recipe shows how empirical knowledge and magical superstition were intertwined. Another clay tablet (also in the British Museum), found at Tell Umar, near the Tigris River in Mesopotamia, gives recipes for “santu glass” and “Accadian santu glass”, this time with fewer magical rituals involved. According to RJ Forbes, however, the text does contain various cryptograms to keep the details of the recipe secret and to keep the competition guessing.12 This sort of superstition and secrecy was, of course, nothing new, and it would undoubtedly have been common practice in other crafts as well, but the complexity of glass production—and particularly the magical transformation from sand to glass and its perceived connection with natural minerals—meant that glass, more than most other mediums, was seen as unique and superior. This superiority is possibly best expressed in the headrests found among Tutankhamun’s treasure. Two wooden headrests were intended for Tutankhamun himself, but there are also two glass headrests. These are almost supernatural in quality, and technically unparalleled by any other glasswork from the same period. In all probability they were intended for the afterlife, as the perfect supports for the head of a divine being.13 Those who have seen the opaque turquoise and light-drenched cobalt blue headrests in person will have no difficulty understanding their link to the divine. Their location and the difference in function from the wooden headrests confirm the elite status of these glass objects. Around 1200 bce many important centres disappeared, a result of war and famine. The resulting drop in the general cultural level meant a strong decline

Glass: Virtual, Real is a unique publication that explores the increasing use of glass in contemporary art as a relatively new artistic medium in the broader context of art history. Sculptor and educator Koen Vanderstukken investigates how postmodern art has brought glass to the forefront as a breakthrough art medium due to its intriguing qualities. Furthermore, the book draws clear parallels between our increasing familiarity with a virtual reality in today's digital era and an improved understanding of glass within an artistic context. The final, and largest, section of the book explores the impact of glass on the contemporary art scene, focusing on how artists are using the medium in exciting ways in their practices. Providing fascinating insight into the impact of glass as a medium on contemporary art, this book will appeal to historians, educators, students, artists and academics.

Marlon Griffith

This is the first monograph on the procession and installation practice of Trinidadian-born, Japanbased artist Marlon Griffith. With essays by Emelie Chhangur, Chanzo Greenidge, Gabriel Levine, and Claire Tancons, Symbols of Endurance explores Griffith’s unique contribution to contemporary art through a detailed analysis of the artist’s formative engagement with vernacular tradition, popular and festive forms of civic celebration, and performative forms of colonial cultural resistance in the Americas.

ISBN 9781910433935

Symbols of Endurance

Symbols of Endurance follows Griffith’s artistic trajectory from his early career as a designer, or ‘Masman’, for Carnivals in Trinidad and London and considers these origins in relation to his later largescale public processions created and staged in-situ across the globe for contemporary art audiences. This publication is a major contribution for anyone engaged in participatory practices of collective and creative resistance, performance as mode of public address and intercultural exchange, and alternative forms of exhibition making in the civic sphere.

Build Therefore Your Own World

Pedro Alonzo

Blum & Poe

In his research-based practice, Sam Durant follows a tradition of radical historians and writers such as Howard Zinn, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Robin DG Kelley, Ward Churchill, and Elise Lemire. Inspired by their work, Durant uncovers aspects of history that have remained largely unknown to mainstream society. Some of Durant’s previous projects include a demystification of the origin myths of Plymouth Rock and Thanksgiving, and highlighting the human and economic costs of mass incarceration. He sees this work as critical in order to acknowledge the past and strive for the future that the American Revolution and the civil rights movement promised. His work on the historic site of The Old Manse in Concord, MA, entitled The Meeting House

African-Americans experience discrimination and worse every day, they don’t need to be informed about this. It is the minds and hearts of whites that need to be opened, they are the primary audience for The Meeting House.1

With Nothing Will Surprise You Here, Velibor Božović has succeeded in infusing a dose of truth which surpasses our desire to cling to reality and facts, letting us be carried along by the self-evidence of events. Nothing surprises us here, but everything eludes us, as if aspirated by that truth held in shadow, so intrinsic that it is only revealed in the abstraction of the unspoken. We might see here an attempt to legitimate fiction as a means of attesting to history, but also a manifestation of the ascendance of the map over the territory.

Avec Nothing Will Surprise You Here, Velibor Božović réussit à insuffler une charge de vérité qui surpasse notre désir de nous rattacher à la réalité, à des faits, pour nous laisser porter par l’évidence des événements. Rien ne nous surprend ici, mais tout nous échappe, aspirés que nous sommes par cette vérité maintenue dans l’ombre, si intrinsèque qu’elle ne se révèle que dans l’abstraction du non-dit. On pourrait y voir une tentative de légitimer la fiction comme moyen d’attester l’histoire, mais aussi une manifestation de l’ascendance de la carte sur le territoire.

The Meeting House

Sam Durant has exhibited widely in the US and internationally. His work can be found in many public collections including Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Filing for one’s freedom in the courts of Massachusetts In the courts of New Hampshire In the courts of Rhode Island In the court of one’s mind In the court of one’s body Through the course of one’s body Through the course of one body And the newness of the day

The artist’s project, The Meeting House, takes place between The Old Manse—a historic house where leading thinkers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller discussed the issues of the day, including abolitionist debates—and the Minuteman National Park, where the American Revolutionary War began in 1775.

Nothing Will Surprise You Here

The Meeting House/Build Therefore Your Own World brings together material from American multimedia artist Sam Durant’s project of the same name, which acts as a platform for inspiring new ideas in relation to the intractable structures of racial discrimination and segregation.

The Meeting House proposes the uncomfortable idea that veiled and institutional forms of racism were largely developed in the North and continue to thrive today through the complacency or complicity of whites. Durant stated in an interview that:

trevor paglen trinity cube

Trinity Cube, 2015 Irradiated broken glass collected from inside the Fukushima Exclusion Zone forms the outer layer of this sculpture. The work’s inner core is made out of Trinitite, the mineral created on July 16, 1945 when the United States exploded the world’s first atomic bomb near Alamogordo, New Mexico, heating the desert’s surface to the point where it turned surface sand into a greenish glass. Trinity Cube was created by melting these two forms of glass together into a cube, then installing the cube back into the Fukushima Exclusion Zone as part of the Don’t Follow the Wind project. The artwork will be viewable by the public when the Exclusion Zone opens again, anytime between 3 and 30,000 years from the present.

joy garnett / poof (2)

British Atomic Nuclear Group design for Hollington & Kyprianou’s The Nightwatchman, in Art & Radioactivity, Nicholls and Clarke building, Shoreditch, London, Arts Catalyst, 2008.

Joy Garnett’s painting Poof (2) comes out of the artist’s career-long fascination with nuclear ordinance and explosive events that mark the Anthropocene. It is part of a series of paintings that reaches back to her research site and internet archive http://TheBombProject. org, which she founded in 2000. While on its surface, this series evokes painterly tropes and pop iconography, the explosive shapes in Garnett’s work mirror cultural and economic cycles of creation and destruction, seismic contraction and cosmic expansion.

Contributors and Artists include Eva + Franco Mattes, Peter C van Wyck, Martin Howse, The Otolith Group, Jane + Louise Wilson, Susan Schuppli, Mark Aeriel Waller, Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, Suzanne Treister, Gabrielle Hecht, Eiko Honda, Pierre Huyghe, Timothy Morton, Yves Klein et al.

Taking a fresh approach to discussions around one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, Picasso: The Artist and His Muses examines the significance of the six women who were most important to Picasso’s artistic development, as well as exploring in depth the notion of the artist/muse relationship.

By the end of 1948 the Communist run Maison de la Pensée Française in Paris hosted Picasso’s first ever exhibition in the medium of ceramics. The Communists welcomed Picasso’s work in pottery above all for its workman-like, popular, and folkloric aspects, and they imbued it with social, telluric and populist qualities. It allowed them to counter the adverse image of Picasso the millionaire, and it facilitated their efforts to present Picasso’s role in society, as a craftsman and worker, as a man of the people, working for the people. Moreover, and quite rightly, Picasso was hailed as the savior of the local industry, as his activity in the field and the exhibitions of his work drew new attention to the craft, and attracted young artists as well as tourists to the town.36 Moreover it allowed Picasso to work in a medium that could be sold at a cheaper price and was thus available to a wider audience. Similar preoccupations inspired Picasso’s work in lithography.37 Françoise recalls this period as one of the happiest and most harmonious times in her relationship with Picasso. In late summer 1948 she was pregnant again with Paloma, who was born in April 1949. Picasso chose the name, Spanish for dove, because she was born on the opening day of the first Congrès Mondial des Partisans de la Paix, April 10-13 in Paris, where Picasso’s famous dove, which would become a worldwide symbol of peace (pax sovietica), was first seen publicly.38 It may have been Picasso’s work with ceramics that reawakened in him his love of sculpture to which he devoted much of his time in the early 1950s.39 And much like in his ceramics, Picasso, who had been trained as a painter but never as a sculptor, enjoyed the freedom to work without the restriction of rules or the weight of tradition. This contributed to the playful spontaneity of much of his sculpture in which one is tempted to acknowledge the father inspired by the imagination of his children. He even refrained from casting the works in bronze at first, as bronze, according to him, gave the work a kind of museum like quality. In fact, the sculptures were very personal for him and he kept most of them for himself and his family.40 In need of space to store his ceramics and for separate sculpting and painting studios, Picasso bought le Fournas, a disaffected perfume factory in their neighborhood in Vallauris. Almost all of his sculptures of the time were assemblages of various objects. Calling himself “king of the rag pickers,” Picasso salvaged whatever appealed to him on frequent trips to the local garbage dump. This is where he most likely found the basket that forms the body of the Little Girl Jumping Rope, the old shoes on her feet and the chocolate box whose lid became her head. The sculpture, on which he worked in stages from 1950-1953, is astounding, as the little girl is literally suspended in the air, held there by the rope that touches the ground. The find of yet another basket helped Picasso in his desire to make a Shegoat (1950), using it for the belly of the animal. Its spine and forehead were made of a palm frond and her udders of two clay vessels.41 Picasso had a love of goats and he attached a life goat to his sculpture in the garden of his house. One of the first sculptures Picasso produced in the new space, Pregnant Woman of 1950, illustrated Picasso’s desire that Françoise should bare him a third child. Her refusal, feeling still too weak after the birth of Paloma, inspired Picasso to use three empty water jars for the figure’s breasts and belly.42 (ACB # 73043) With yet another one of his sculptures Picasso managed to upset his son by using two of Claude’s little toy cars to make the image of a baboon cradling its little child (1950-51). (Fig. 6) Even the fact that the image seems to portrait his father’s features did not console Claude over the loss of his toys. Lizzy Cowling, in her insightful essay in Picasso: The Mediterranean Years, 1945-1962, speaks of the metaphorical aspect of Picasso’s ceramics and sculptures, in which a ceramic vase becomes a woman, or a gas ring and a cake tin forms the basis of a baby’s head (Woman with a baby Carriage, 1950).43 Picasso himself had alluded to this when he said: “The material itself, the form and texture of those pieces often gives me the key to the whole sculpture… . I achieve reality through the use of metaphor. My sculptures are plastic metaphors. It’s the

about. But if you go back to techno, if you go to 86–87, people would argue that the music was a weak copy of Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk did it all! Simple as that. Kraftwerk were the perfect example of making electronic music and taking it to the dance floor. Worldwide. Without them, forget it. If you listen to the early Detroit tracks, they were weak copies of Kraftwerk. Joey Beltram in the techno scene in 89 and 90. In techno, Joey is the blueprint. End of story. He inspired so many with “Energy Flash” and “Mentasm” through the whole 90s. And then you go more into pop culture with The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. The Prodigy really lifted it to stadium levels. So, I would say The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy took it to a different level. Of course, The KLF, with their Chill Out album. What a masterpiece that is.

Were there many women involved? Not so many. In those days, no, strangely not. You have Nina Kraviz, who released her first record a few years ago. Since then, I don’t know why but there were hardly any women previously. But since then, it’s women everywhere, producing, DJing. It feels like in 2016, women rule. Paula Temple, yes, she brought techno back. We were in the midst of dubstep, and Paula sent her album and I though wow, this is techno-punk, in a very serious and industrial way. She brought techno back again. Because techno was done, and then Paula came, and now the whole thing came back on.

Jungle and drum and bass were not so big in Belgium, I believe? It was an English thing. R&S released the first drum and bass album on the continent here, and people were not really into it. But Burial, and Mala who is the seed of dubstep. Then you have a split from there on. You have the commercial extreme with Skrillex, and then you have James Blake. And now there is nothing, there is not one person. I’m waiting for the new guy that gives the sign for the next thing.

Are you still running the label together with Sabine Maes? Sabine and I? Sabine tries to keep me stable, as I’m total chaos. She manages the administration and I’m the creative part. Although I have to say, when it comes to business I love to do that but around a big table. When I have to go into a meeting room for a deal, I’m ready and sharp, and I love it too. It gives me a sort of adrenaline too. But I’m in there to guarantee freedom, which is the most expensive commodity in the world, basically. So what’s next for R&S? These days, it is trying to survive. Sales are going down. You have streaming and few have control. But I think some have control, the corporates—Sony, Spotify and Apple. They are connected, and basically all they want is your ten dollars or ten euros a month. But there is no return for the artists. What’s happening? I don’t know. We all have to do it with less. Luckily enough, R&S has the support of our distributors and private equity. They want to keep it alive, otherwise we would be dead already. Because you know, I still think as if it’s the 70s. If I find an artist I will get behind them full on. I lost a fortune by doing that. We’re losing money each year.

RAVE: Rave and its Influence on Art and Culture is one of the first publications to critically engage with the rave movement of the 1980s and 1990s as it relates to contemporary art and visual culture. Following the death of industrial Europe, rave emerged as Europe's last big youth movement.

can earn a little bit. Trying to sell more merchandising, t-shirts, and things like that to try to survive. If you read recent articles on Rihanna, she had a number one album in England with the lowest sales figures in history: 10,000 or so. And it is the number one album? It’s over. I feel Soundcloud will soon be over. This morning I was reading that it will be absorbed by Sony, and now Sony will ask you to pay each month to use Soundcloud. The dream is to not sell any physical records, so you cannot own records anymore. But we still have billions of people. We still have India to go, we still have South America to go. I heard from many majors that this is the market they are looking at. India, China, South America. That’s the way they are thinking. I had guys from big commercial labels here prepared to set up bigger markets for me. And I said: “I don’t want to bother”. So here I am.

This book considers the social, political and economic conditions that led to the advent of rave as a 'counterculture' across Europe, as well as its aesthetics, ideologies, and influence on contemporary art and beyond.

Do you think there is a way to address this problem? What we are trying to do is get R&S on the road with showcases, so we 104

The KLF had a curious relationship with visual art. A sort of love-hate relationship with it. If you listen back to their album, they’re all samples. How do you do that? First, your knowledge of music has to be extremely good. You really have to be a music person, to do that. And then to make it into one story that makes sense. Amazing. After that, it’s very quiet. Of course there were good techno tracks, don’t get me wrong. But then the repetition and copycats came. But I stopped for ten years, breeding horses. Then in 2005 / 2006 come Mala and Burial. He writes a new page. I’m talking about artists that influence a generation for ten years. I’m talking about those people, not only good tracks.

crammed into the body of what could be any number of animals—maybe a cow, perhaps a donkey—ridden by Molla Nasreddin, a character famous in Iran and beyond, riding his donkey backwards. Leading from behind, he looks to the past rather than the future. The composite animal was inspired by a genre of paintings that includes, for example, the sixteenth-century depiction of a camel with attendant from Khurasan, Iran, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see fig XX).23 By depicting the animal standing on a red balloon—a spectacle watched and photographed by a Western journalist on the left— Haerizadeh turns the collective nation-building enterprise into a risible affair, worthy of a circus.24 Armed with humour, Khosrow Hassanzadeh (b. 1963) targets America. His Terrorist: Khosrow, 2004, a large silkscreen, is one of seven unique prints, each in a different color (see plate XX). A later mixed media variation (Self-Portrait from the Ready to Order series), is framed in a shadow box (see fig XX). It features a display of fake flowers and light decoration that is even more in tune with the local vernacular: the kitsch paraphernalia

encountered in memorial shrines placed over the tombs of martyrs who died in the war. In Terrorist: Khosrow Hassanzadeh stages his self-portrait against the kind of backdrop used in old photo studios, including a picture of a waterfall based on a poster he bought in Lalehzar, a street in an old Tehran neighbourhood. Seated on a kilim, he holds a picture of his grandfather in his left hand and a pot of flowers in his right, placed on a large box made in Yazd. Boxes hold secrets, he says.25 This dominating pater familias, appropriating for himself the grandiosity of the largerthan-life revolutionary icons whose images are plastered on city walls and billboards, is flanked by diminutive images of his son leisurely lounging on the grass at top right and his demure daughter at top left—in short, he depicts a regular, peaceful, proletarian family portrait rendered in a palette that is innocently pink and baby blue. To each portrait he affixes an identity certificate which in the case of the self-portrait indicates his name, nationality, religion (muslim), age, profession, distinctive traits, and, most notably, in quotation marks and capital words, the word “TERRORIST” (see plate XX). Hassanzadeh’s fascination with popular culture has led him to Andy Warhol, who he has admired since 1999 and whose portrait has recently entered into his cast of characters. The impact the Pop artist left

The book brings together work in a dizzying array of different mediums—from Shirin Aliabadi’s photographs of young Iranian women resisting Islamic dress codes, and Afruz Amighi’s Persian carpets hand-woven from the same fabric that the UN uses to make tents for displaced refugees, to Mohammad Ehsai’s classical calligraphy works.

Rebel, Jester, Mystic, Poet tells the story of the evolution of Iranian contemporary art by examining the work of 30 artists, taken from the collection of Mohammed Afkhami. This is art where the ills of internal politics remain astutely masked beneath a layer of ornamentation, poetry or humour. What unites the disparate works into a coherent theme is the artists’ coping mechanisms, which consist of subversive critique, quiet rebellion, humour, mysticism and poetry—hence the publication’s title.

Jasper Havoc Pages 10–17 Jasper Havoc (Peter McMahon 1953–1979) was an Australian artist and a member of the Sydney drag performance troupe Sylvia and the Synthetics in the early 1970s. He came to London in 1977 and stayed with friends in the flat below me off Ladbroke Grove. On Saturday afternoons, my kitchen was often a gathering place for a motley crew, appraising the possibilities of their vintage finds after mornings in Portobello Road. Afternoon tea parties evolved into impromptu photographic sessions before everyone disappeared to dress up for their night ahead. An antiquated tungsten photographic light was moved from room to room as I photographed friends and visitors. Jasper perched on the kitchen sink one afternoon, posing with louche allure, before we took my camera out into the streets nearby.

Eddie was, however, a prolific and industrious draughtsman, producing sensitively observed portraits in coloured pencil of his friends. He would come to visit, pin up a large sheet of paper on our sitting-room wall and focus intently while we sat for him, drawing us while narrating a running account of his latest exploits in an arch Glaswegian accent.

punk circles around the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. For a brief period Berlin lived in a rather seedy flat in West Kensington, across the railway track from Olympia, where Jonathan Von Roth held court with Eddie Cairns, Brian Britton and Little Jimmy. Writing under his real name, Bertie Marshall, Berlin produced a frank memoir of the years 1976 and 1977, titled Berlin Bromley, 2006. He wrote that he had become “part of their little retinue”, and described life at Russell Road as “a riot; drugs, dressing up, getting drunk and sex”.

Bertie Marshall, in his book Berlin Bromley, described Eddie vividly, writing that he liked “to think of himself as a cross between David Hockney and Joan Crawford, cruel tongue and far larger than life, promiscuous and damned as hell”. Eddie himself thought that he was “a dead ringer” for Jane Russell. He died of Aids in the early 1980s when people hardly knew what it was. One of his drawings was on the record cover for Coil’s version of “Tainted Love”, and their mournful version of the song gave it a new dark meaning that expressed the tragedy of Aids-related deaths and their anger at the way Aids victims were being treated at that time.

Bertie Marshall published a novel, Psychoboys, 1997, and in 2015 the British Library acquired his personal diaries, notebooks and correspondence from 1978–2014, describing him as an “author, performer and punk scene-maker”. Jimmy Pages 20–21, 84–85

Ricardo and Lavinia Pages 18–19

Jimmy, known as “Little Jimmy”, was a wiry, nervy, streetwise yet vulnerable boy from the rougher side of Fulham who somehow ended up living with Jonathan’s ménage at Russell Road; perhaps it was a refuge from whatever was happening in his life elsewhere. Whenever I visited to photograph the household, he always seemed to have sustained some damage on a night out; a cut lip, a black eye.

Ricardo and Lavinia were two Brazilian boys I photographed one evening when they were en route to a club, having fetched up at our house with mutual friends.

Eddie Cairns Pages 14–15, 24–25, 42–44

Berlin Pages 20–23

Eddie Cairns (c 1953–1983) was an artist from Glasgow; very talented, wickedly funny, but regularly so outrageous that it verged on selfsabotage. Opportunities and commissions would evaporate: he became riotously drunk at a David Hockney private view; and on another occasion offended a potential client, fashion doyenne Lady Clare Rendlesham, with his uninhibited conversation at her elegant soirée, after being introduced to her by Vogue art director, Barney Wan.

Bertie Marshall was a teenager who escaped South London suburbia and reinvented himself as “Berlin”: a pretty, narcissistic, self-styled ‘androgyne’. Berlin and his friend Siouxie Sioux were original members of what journalists (prompted by Malcolm McLaren) labelled the Bromley Contingent. They were a ragtag collection of suburban adolescents who hero-worshiped Bowie and Warhol, ‘posed’ relentlessly and managed to infiltrate and become embedded in

He is the author of many books and articles about politics and art, most recently the essay collections Unruly Voices (2012) and Measure Yourself Against the Earth (2015).

Brian Britton Pages 28–35, 46–47 Brian Britton, Glasgow born, with an accent influenced by teenage years spent in South Wales (although everyone assumed he was Irish), came to London in 1972 to study at St Martin’s School of Art. He says that in the 1970s, he was “a glam rock gender bender Bowie fan” who soon embraced the “chaos and excitement” of punk. Brian lived at Butler’s Wharf and was part of the itinerant household formed around Jonathan and Eddie and an ever-changing coterie who moved from warehouse to flat to squatted Georgian house. He was briefly the custodian of Lucian Freud’s apartment and studio through a friendship with one of Freud’s daughters, Rose Boyt. Bertie Marshall described Brian as resembling “a tree struck by lightning in semi-drag”, but by the 1980s Brian’s vintage clothes period was over. He travelled and had a productive period as an artist, living in Japan and New York. Now based on the Sussex coast, he spends extended periods writing and painting in India and on a Greek island. The photographs of Brian taken early evening in an apartment in Mornington Crescent, became like stills for a non-existent film. Cinema influenced me, and I admired film noir and its auteurs of the 1940s like Jacques Tourneur: his films Cat People, 1942, and I Walked with a Zombie, 1943, evoked an eerie, oddly hypnotic atmosphere and enigmatic mood, a world of shadows and suggestion.

True Nordic How Scandinavia Influenced Design in Canada

Praised for its material sensitivity, regarded both as modern and humble, progressive but quiet, Nordic and Scandinavian design has had an enduring influence on the development of Canadian design sensibility. Emphasizing durability and truth to materials, this aesthetic communicated an integrity that resonated culturally with Canadians as projecting an appealing humanistic form of Modernism. Richly illustrated, True Nordic: How Scandinavia Influenced Design in Canada presents a comprehensive look at the significance of more than nine decades of Scandinavian and Nordic design on Canadian craft, design, and industrial production since 1920. Alongside essays by curators and scholars, this publication offers a broad historical survey of Canadian-made ceramics, furniture, textiles, and metalware inspired by the aesthetics of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

When Private Eye magazine satirised a scandalous press story concocted by General Idi Amin about Princess Elizabeth of Toro of Uganda, and invented the euphemism “discussing Ugandan affairs”, Agnes, who was related to the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Toro, responded by wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “Amin da Mood”.

As a performer, Jasper merged his Hollywood diva persona with a sharp and flamboyant wit, and his make-up skills made friends feel wildly glamorous too. He returned to Sydney where he obtained a job teaching art to correspondence school students spread throughout the Australian Outback. He died in a fire in Sydney a couple of years later, remembered now as a promising painter and lost icon of the Sydney gay community.
