The work of the sculptor Rachel Harrison is both the zeitgeist and the least digestible in contemporary art. It may also be the most important, owing to an originality that breaks a prevalent spell in an art world of recycled genres, styles, and ideas.&;&;Peter Schjeldahl, The New Yorker

Im Jahr 2020, in einer poetischen, vielleicht sogar chemischen Geste, nimmt François Mangeol den Roman von Michel Houellebecq und reduziert den Text des Schriftstellers auf die alleinigen chemischen Symbole, die die Serotonin-Zusammensetzung bilden: C für Kohlenstoff, H für Wasserstoff, N für Stickstoff und O für Sauerstoff. Diese Symbole sind isoliert und über die gesamten 352 Seiten des Buches verteilt, als ein Echo zu dieser schwierigen Suche nach Glück.

Next Spring is an occasional series of reviews that offers a different approach to the writing of art criticism. Focused on the reading of one film work, each book in the series presents a parallel text on the artwork as both a critical response and literary production. The film selected and the text produced consider ecological issues, environmental concerns, and systematic revisionings. The language of place is given priority and image reproductions used nominally. Paris, May 16, the pilot issue, includes writings by Clara Schulmann, Barbara Sirieix, and Jennifer Teets, as well as a visual essay by Scott Rogers on the invitation of Richard Frater.

You ever read the back of a book and blah blah blah words and more words, and function. Poets depend on the emotional character of words. Manuals depend on the instructiveness of words. Yet words can be pronounced backwards or cut up and given new meaning, they can be looked at for their mathematical value, pondered over how they change in translation or seen as hiding messages within them.
