Subduing our bodies, in the sense of controlling our impulses and desires, is an aspiration which is older than Christianity. At that time, the dominant question was: how do you get good control over yourself? Christianity made women the symbol of possible loss of control over our bodies. Achieving our self-control turned into being able to control the woman, to avoid the temptation that she, malevolent, represents.

In this warm and soft book, covered by a blood red fabric, artist Rosana Paulino brings together for the first time the series of drawings that give their title to the publication: Buffalo and Lady of Plants. Both represent female archetypes related to the black psyche, and they go against the dominant European and colonial collective consciousness.

But, tell me, how did he feel about the book? Well, it was in it that an awareness came up, the awareness that the work spoke more about him than about the other. And why? Who knows?

This is not a catalogue raisonné. Nor is it a family album. If anything, it is an album dé-raisonné, the collage of a life commented on discreetly by its author. It is a reproduction of the world of Olga Mohler-Picabia around a mentor and a great love, Francis Picabia. A variation on the theme of Pygmalion, this album is the highly personal expression of a quarter century of learning. An intaglio portrait of Picabia through the eyes of Olga, a portrait that is at once funny, intimate, sensible and often very moving.

Sean Scully is recognized as one of the most important abstract artists of our age. For half a century, he has explored with unwavering determination and vision the possibilities of the stripe, band, and block as abstract forms.

Questioning the ephemeral quality of a performance, the artist published a documentation of an act he did in 2017. The textual score of the performance and the visual material became an independent art book. Suspended between a theoretical lecture and a personal diary style, the publication captures a subjective experience of non binary person who practices sex with gay men. The project poses questions on the place of body in our language, appropriation of sexuality by marketing and consumerism and problems in defining non-binary identity.

For the first time, this publication brings together the Mosaic works by the British artist Stephen Willats, which were created in Great Britain and Finland in the 1990s. In these works, Willats uses the medium of the book to enter into an exchange with people and to create a space in neighborhoods, museums, and bookstores where social bonds can be established. It is a collaborative process through which Willats redefines the web of relationships between artist, artwork, audience and society; a process of instituting in which the artwork becomes its own institution.

With contributions by Jamie Allen, Bernhard Garnicnig, Elsa Himmer, Lucie Kolb and Stephen Willats.

Following Institutions by Artists: Volume One and the eponymous convention from which both volumes take their name, this second anthology of texts continues the work of unpacking artists’ relationships to—and creation of—a larger set of structures that increasingly regulate, demarcate, and codify contemporary artistic practice: centres of economic and cultural capital; state and private apparatus; and sites of display, storage and production.

Mierle Laderman Ukeles's manifesto ''Maintenance Art--Proposal for an Exhibition'' (1969) was a major intervention in feminist performance practices and public art.

In 1977, she became the unsalaried Artist-in-Residence for the New York City Department of Sanitation, a position that enables her to introduce radical public art into an urban municipal infrastructure.

Nations and states establish a strong collective image by disseminating symbols of their rulers and erecting monuments and temples. In public spaces, statues in particular are seen to represent systems of political rule. They mark squares, urban nexuses, and mountain ranges--visible from afar. Once erected, they serve as a timeless demonstration of authority, emphasising irrefutable legitimacy.But how is power depicted today? Are statues still a democratically tenable form?

In the Kunstraum Dornbirn Erwin Wurm presented a selection of works from the “FAT SCULPTURES” series under the title “BIG”.

The physical form of the book explored with photographs of reflections, that are positioned with the line of symmetry aligned with the pages binding. The turning of the pages echoes and adds depth to the two dimensional plane of each photo. (ref. the pealing apart of ink blot paintings, Rorschach test cards). The reader is goaded to put stress on the intersection of pages, generating a morphologic change in the shape of the book, producing creases on the spine.
