Philipp Furhofer - (Dis)Illusions

nai010 publishers 2020 ISBN 9789462085589 Acqn 30648
Hb 23x29cm 176pp col ills £43

Combining painting, sculpture, installation, and set design, Philipp Furhofer's multidisciplinary
artistic practice is a blend of modern materials, mixed with historical elements. After graduating
from the Universitat der Kunste Berlin, Furhofer spent months in hospital with heart issues,
culminating in a partial transplant. Inspired by his own chest X-rays and their transparency, he
created acrylic glass boxes filled with structured objects, giving them new forms and reality.
Juxtaposing different layers of the works with spy mirror foil, he often uses incandescent light
bulbs, LED tubes that switch on and off to reveal different visions.

Blood - The Poems And Archive Of R. Broby-Johansen

Kunstverein Amsterdam 2020 ISBN 9789490629243 Acqn 30666
Pb 20x24cm 434pp col ills £53

The archive of Danish writer Rudolf Broby-Johansen (1900-1987) was given to the manuscript
department of the Royal Danish Library in two parts. The first was a small collection of personal
letters, manuscripts, and drawings that were delivered by his wife Aina shortly after his death.
The remaining and far more extensive part was only rediscovered in 1999, sitting in a vacant
room at the Danish School Museum, untouched. This comprised scrapbooks, images,
illustrations, slides, poems, articles, notes, and more. 'Blood' is the outcome of an exhaustive and
illuminating research project into Broby's archives by Line-Gry Horup, a graduate of the Gerrit
Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

Tetuya Noguchi - From Medieval With Love

Kyuryudo Art-Publishing 2020 ISBN 9784763018182 Acqn 30730
Hb 20x26cm 132pp col ills £45

Tetsuya Noguchi has a talent for parody and homage. History, science-fiction films, plastic
models, and samurai armour are subjects that have fascinated him from a young age. These
interests are translated into finely executed paintings and sculptures depicting samurai clad in
feudal Japanese armour, but with humorous or incongruous details. A master caricaturist,
Noguchi's figurines strike absurd poses, wear hip trainers, or are mounted like insect or plant
specimens. His paintings could be reproductions from the Edo period, while some mimic famous
European masterpieces. An uncanny, subtle, and ultimately optimistic view on consumerism,
luxury, and contemporary culture.

Faire - To Look At Things Vol 22 Special Issue Artists Posters

Editions Empire 2020 ISBN 9791095991212 Acqn 30742
Pb 21x30cm 80pp col ills £16

On the occasion of a visit to 'Honey, I rearranged the collection' at the MRAC Occitanie /
Pyrenees-Mediterranee, Jerome Dupeyrat and Thierry Chancogne continue their discussion of
the controversial relationships that exist between art and graphic design, based on a historical
collection of artists' posters. They reflect upon the desire to democratise art, a symptom or
symbol of potential new connections between graphic design and art in an era where artists have
acquired a new graphic culture and graphic designers a new artistic ambition. The thematic
exchanges are accompanied by thoughts from Mathias Augustyniak, drawing on his own
experience with designing posters.

Miwa Komatsu - Yamato Power, To The World

Kyuryudo Art-Publishing 2020 ISBN 9784763018366 Acqn 30689
Pb 23x30cm 178pp col ills £59.95

Emerging artist Miwa Komatsu is known for her vibrant depictions of Shinto symbolism, and often
does painting performances in front of a live audience. As a child, she became familiar with the
mountainous regions of Nagano, Japan, where she befriended animals and first encountered the
'komainu' that protect shrines. These fierce guardians inspired Komatsu to develop her bright,
exuberant acrylic painting style and saturated canvases. The creatures are both auspicious and
frightening in Shinto teachings. Positioning herself at the intersection of the human and spiritual,
Komatsu deftly harnesses this contrasting nature to reveal powerful lion-dogs, dragons, and
more.

James Lee Byars - The Sage in the Tower

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen 2020 ISBN 9789069183138 Acqn 30735
Pb 17x24cm 224pp col ills £27

During his first European exhibition in 1969, American conceptual and performance artist James
Lee Byars (1932-1997) presented three actions, and with them provided a guideline for
experiencing his art: viewers had to believe in the reality he was offering. His premise was the
less you had to go by, the greater the scope of your imagination. The artist travelled extensively
throughout his life, and maintained his extensive international network by writing letters. Starting
from his correspondence with Flor Bex, Lieve De Deyne, and Wies Smals, this Boijmans Study
recounts Byars's activities in the Netherlands and Belgium, and also recounts his formative years
in Japan.

Birgitta De Vos - All In Nothing. Nothing In All

Birgitta De Vos 2020 ISBN 9789081005951 Acqn 30671
Hb 17x23cm 304pp col ills £66

Living in the Netherlands, a fast-paced, material focused, densely populated country where too
much to do in too little time seems to be a daily struggle, Dutch artist Birgitta de Vos longed for
stillness. The result is this book, a silent retreat in which silence is the voice of the void and white
is its colour. De Vos sees our daily lives as being a dance in duality, a continuous movement to
find balance between opposite poles. In between our thoughts, experiences, actions, and
emotions is an open space, an empty field. Filled with page after page of minimal geometric
meditations, wherein the ellipse plays a significant role, this book invites you to let go and step
into the unknown.
