Body Language - The Body In Medieval Art

nai010 publishers 2020 ISBN 9789462085992 Acqn 31012
Pb 24x38cm 208pp col ills £33.50

Saints walking around headless, vagina-shaped wounds and a Jesus being crushed like a grape:
welcome to medieval man's intriguing perception of the world. Thanks to a growing fixation on the
body and body parts, some of the works of art created in the late Middle Ages meet with
amazement and sometimes incomprehension today. How should we, from our position in the
present, look at these works of art from so long ago? 'Body Language' introduces you to the role
of the body in devotion in the late Middle Ages (1300-1500) and to the surprising/sometimes
bizarre works of art associated with it.

Lisa Sudhibhaslip - No Thanks, I'm Just Looking

Building Books 2020 ISBN 9789082771220 Acqn 31040
Pb 23x34cm 208pp col ills £35

Born out of her fascination for shop displays, Lisa Sudhibhasilp imagined an exhibition in a
hardware store. Improvising a series of sculptural interventions in situ, the artist played with
existing display structures, proposing the hardware store as a place where the display of
materiality can be contemplated like works of art in exhibition spaces. Photographer Johannes
Schwartz documented the artist's ephemeral installations and the existing fixtures and fittings,
creating a portrait of the store.

Gerhard Richter
Manuella Editions 2020 ISBN 9782917217917 Acqn 31046
Pb 21x28cm 104pp col ills £24.50

The Fondation Louis Vuitton has always held a particular interest for Gerhard Richter, who has
become one of the standout artists of its collection. Deeply engaged with modern history painting,
his art has been reinventing painting's modalities and finalities since the 1960s, pushing frontiers
in the vocabulary of figurative and geometrical abstraction. With this monograph, the Fondation
presents numerous works by Richter from the collection. The selection includes examples from
the 'Strip' and 'Flow' series, as well as more recent series of lacquer-painted photographs. The
artworks are accompanied by an interview with Richter by Dieter Schwarz and essay by Philippe
Dagen.

Yuya Tsukahara + Contact Gonzo - Watching You Surf On Beautiful Accidents

Les Presses Du Reel 2020 ISBN 9782378961053 Acqn 31055
Pb 21x30cm 52pp col ills £12.50

This catalogue is published in conjunction with the first presentation in France of work by contact
Gonzo, a Japanese performance collective hailing from Osaka and founded by Yuya Tsukahara
in 2006. Tsukahara's performances are characterised by jarring physical contact, oftentimes
suggestive of street fighting or butoh dance forms. Just as Hunter S. Thompson, pioneer of gonzo
journalism, rejected the conventions of the written press, contact Gonzo nonchalantly
transgresses the codes of contemporary dance. Starting with a presence on YouTube, where it
posted raw and resolutely amateurish videos of performances in public space, the collective
quickly made a name for itself.

Claudia Van Eeden - Coo-ee!

Perimeter Editions 2020 ISBN 9780648680123 Acqn 31065
Pb 20x26cm 86pp col ills £33

'Coo-ee!' is a loving and caring celebration of a land that is both beautiful and brutal, hardy and
vulnerable. Melbourne-based artist Claudia Van Eeden crafts a vibrantly optimistic ode to the
landscape, iconography, and visual language of Australia. Presenting her work as a travel diary of
sorts, where every page features an original painting, she renders the scenery, weather, passers-
by, and native flora and fauna in loose, playful brushstrokes. Van Eeden celebrates Australia in a
way that balances humour with sincerity in a style that extends beyond kitsch to rest somewhere
closer to that of naive art.

Jenny Holzer - For You

MMCA 2020 ISBN 9788963032351 Acqn 31070
Hb 24x25cm 180pp col ills £46

As part of a series of commissioned projects, in 2019 the National Museum of Modern and
Contemporary Art, Korea, collaborated with American artist Jenny Holzer, who employs language
in various public spaces to address collective concerns and private anxieties. Her work draws
attention to societal issues and political injustices by emblazoning text on all kinds of objects and
surfaces. These interventions bring many pressing contemporary concerns to the surface, often
amplifying the voices of historically marginalised groups. 'For You' presents her work in the form
of posters, LED signs, and carved stone, all installed in various indoor and outdoor spaces at
MMCA.

Ito Jakucku (1716–1800) was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period when Japan had closed
its doors to the outside world. Many of his paintings concern traditionally Japanese subjects,
particularly chickens and other birds. Many of his otherwise traditional works display a great
degree of experimentation with perspective, and with other very modern stylistic elements.

Kawase Hasui

Pb 21x30cm 216pp col ills £49

Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was a Japanese artist. He was one of the most prominent print
designers of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement. Kawase worked almost exclusively on
landscape and townscape prints based on sketches he made in Tokyo and during travels around
Japan. However, his prints are not merely meisho (famous places) prints that are typical of earlier
ukiyo-e masters such as Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Kawase's prints feature
locales that are tranquil and obscure in urbanizing Japan.

Pb 18x26cm 146pp col ills £43

Suzuki Kiitsu (1796-1858) was a Japanese painter of the Rinpa school. A student of the famous
painter Sakai Hoitsu, he was for a long time considered a minor member of Rinpa school of
Japanese painting. In recent years his work has been reevaluated and gained recognition,
leading to a series of major exhibitions of his art in 2016-2017 in Tokyo, Hyogo, and Kyoto. Kiitsu
is best known for his byobu folding screens, often a reinterpretation of screens by other Rinpa
artists, but he has been most acclaimed for his original screens.

This book is one in a series with "kawaii" (adorable) as its theme. Sengai's paintings are
undeniably kawaii and do seem to fit contemporary tastes. Rather than kawaii though, Hakuin's
paintings put sterness or austerity to the fore,and many scholars of Zen painting value that aspect
of his work.
