In his lifetime, Schawinsky was mainly known for his work in the theater department at the Bauhaus. In the late 1930s, while teaching at Black Mountain College, a legendary art college in North Carolina that provided refuge for many European emigrants during the Nazi era, Schawinsky, building on his Bauhaus work, developed his dramatic theory known as "Spectodrama," happenings of a sort, which would later be made famous by another affiliate of the same institution, John Cage. This publication is based on the albums the artist conceived during his tenure at the Bauhaus, and presents, for the first time, photographs and documents, personal as much as artistic, on this key moment of the modern period, all commented by scientific researcher and curator at Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Torsten Blume. This is the first opportunity to discover this primary material, in a format reproducing the original album. Published in a limited edition of a 1,000 copies, in collaboration with the Estate of Xanti Schawinsky, and with the generous support of Volkart Stiftung, Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council, and Ernst und Olga Gubler-Hablützel Stiftung.

CONTEMPORARY ART David Hominal First monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books Since the mid-2000s, David Hominal has been one of the most original and vigorous voices of the contemporary art scene. Working primarily with painting—principally in series—he also explores sculpture, drawing, film, printmaking, performance, and installation. His multifaceted work is the offspring of an exceptionally intense relationship with the world. It is a place where images drawn from both personal and everyday sources interact; where disciplines such as dance, music, and the visual arts converge. ______________________________________ Edited by Laurence Schmidlin ______________________________________ Authors Stéphanie Moisdon Laurence Schmidlin ______________________________________ Edition English April 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-463-8 Hardcover, 205 x 286 mm 64 pages Images 50 color CHF 32 / EUR 25 / £ 19 / US 35 ______________________________________ Edition French April 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-464-5 ______________________________________ This first monograph on his oeuvre offers an overview of his practice, underlining his engagement in representation, expression of the Self, and the traditions of art and art history. As French art critic and curator Stéphanie Moisdon states in her commissioned essay: "Hominal's oeuvre stands firm in the middle of the contemporary tumult, neither reveals nor conceals any hidden part. It stands there, in the entire coarseness of its appearance. No tongue-in-cheek humor, no false flooring, illusion or trickery. His painting expresses only what it shows, diverting the endeavors, as tiring as they are many, to clarify and reveal. In his work there is a constant oscillation between homage and dismantling, between too much and too little, between the elimination (of sources, of contexts) and the appropriation (of sensations, of intensities), from which bare forms arise." A second essay by Laurence Schmidlin, Musée Jenisch Deputy Director and Head of the Cabinet cantonal des estampes, analyses Hominal's practice and relationship to printmaking in the global context of his work. David Hominal was born in 1976 in Evian (France). He graduated from ECAL (Lausanne) and is now based in Berlin. He exhibited recently at Helmhaus, Zurich; Centre d’art contemporain, Geneva; Kunsthalle Bern, Bern; and the Swiss Institute, New York. 2016's exhibitions include a solo show at Le Consortium, Dijon, and at Musée Jenisch Vevey on the occasion of which this volume is published.

The second volume, the textual part of the book, is the outcome of three years of research through archives: 22 sets of regulations issued by public institutions (psychiatric hospitals, special-needs schools, house rules, cemeteries, orphanages, etc.) from the 1970s through to the end of the 1980s in Communist Czechoslovakia. These sources reflect the politics of the authoritarian regime and raise educational and social issues. Eva Kotátková (b. 1982, Prague) studied at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, the Prague Academy of Applied Arts, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the Akademie Bildende Kunst Wien between 2002 and 2007. In 2007, at the age of 25, she became the youngest person to be awarded the Jindrich Chalupecky Award for young artists in the Czech Republic. Kotátková exhibits extensively internationally and in the Czech Republic, and her work is included in numerous private and public collections. Published within the context of the "tranzit" series edited by Vít Havránek, focusing on Central and Eastern European artists. CONTEMPORARY ART Shirana Shahbazi Tehran North Program Monographs & Artists’ Books ______________________________________ Edited by Manuel Krebs Shirana Shahbazi ______________________________________ Edition English Available ISBN: 978-3-03764-467-6 Hardcover, 199 x 300 mm 96 pages Images 96 b/w CHF 32 / EUR 25 / £ 19 / US 35 ______________________________________ Tehran by night "Tehran North," Shirana Shahbazi's latest photo-project from October 2015, is a subjective road movie captured from a car driving through the Iranian capital at night. Designed by NORM (Zurich), it offers a black and white kaleidoscopic vision of Tehran's urban landscape. "Camera Austria" publisher and director Reinhard Braun characterizes it as "a film noir traversing a megacity that, although remote and unknown to many, seems to be as common as others." He continues: "Housing areas, illuminated shops and billboards, highways, facades vanish either in darkness either in bright light, slipping away from any decisive representation. Uncanny encounters clash with everyday banality. The mysterious is at the same time forced and undermined, suppressing any exoticism. Beauty is shaking knowledge, as fascination is shaking distant objectiveness, and vice versa. Both an inventory and a construction, highly artificial and generic, Tehran North ends with nearly unidentifiable shapes and almost slides into darkness. But this is not a statement of finishing; it is an introduction to all the other possible images to follow up." "Shahbazi's work cannot be pinned down to any specific visual context, genre, technique, or aesthetics. Her path from documentary to seemingly abstract images and studio photography nevertheless revolves around a coherent engagement with what might be called an equality of appearance. She demonstrates how it is possible to bridge apparent contradictions within ostensible disparate regimes of photography thanks to a montage that constellates photographs that might otherwise not be associated. Avoiding an understanding of photography driven by separating one image in contrast to the other she seems instead to constantly track one picture within another." Born in Tehran in 1974, Shirana Shahbazi moved to Germany at the age of 11. She studied photography in Dortmund and Zurich, where she lives and works today. She took part in the 50th Venice Biennale (2003) and has had exhibitions in notable museums including Kunsthalle Bern (2014); The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2012/2013); Fotomuseum Winterthur (2011); New Museum, New York (2011); the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2008). CONTEMPORARY ART Franz West Galerie Eva Presenhuber, 95–15 Program Monographs & Artists’ Books ______________________________________ Edited by Eva Presenhuber ______________________________________ Authors Max Wechsler ______________________________________ Edition English / German May 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-427-0 Hardcover, 200 x 300 mm 224 pages Images 135 color / 9 b/w CHF 50 / EUR 40 / £ 30 / US 55 ______________________________________ A model relationship between an artist and his gallerist A tribute to the long collaboration between Franz West and Galerie Eva Presenhuber, this volume offers a comprehensive yet singular overview of the artist's oeuvre. Gathering together extensive documentation and rare archive material on the numerous exhibitions they organized together since 1995, the book is designed by NORM (Zurich) and introduced by art theoretician and friend of the artist Max Wechsler, who followed the work of Franz West closely for many years. His illuminating foreword starts: "Without doubt, he was an odd bird, a gifted idler, a Vienna man sui generis and eccentric par excellence." The relationship between Franz West and Eva Presenhuber began 20 years ago in Zurich. In 1995 West exhibited at the Galerie Walcheturm—"Franz West mit eine Geste von Raymond Hains. Telefonskulpturen. Sitz– und Liegegelegenheiten"—of which Eva Presenhuber was the owner from 1989 to 1997. This first collaboration was followed by many others, including "Vom Feinsten" in 1999, "Aussenskulptur" in 2002, and after the foundation of Galerie Eva Presenhuber in 2002, "Modelle U.A." and "Drei Skulpturen im Aussenraum Zürich" (both 2006), and "Der Definierte Raum" (2011). After West’s death in 2012 Galerie Eva Presenhuber presented the shows "Franz West" (2015) and "Möbelskulpturen" (2015–2016) in cooperation with the Franz West Privatstiftung. This publication underlines the importance of the gallery space as an artistic laboratory, and highlights this particular relationship between an artist and his gallerist, especially when this one is a long-lasting and fruitful dialogue. Born in Vienna in 1947, Franz West was active as an artist since 1970 and exhibited extensively worldwide. In Fall 2018 a retrospective will open at Centre Pompidou, Paris, travelling to Tate Modern, London, in 2019. Published with Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich, in cooperation with Franz West Privatstiftung, Vienna. GRAPHIC DESIGN ECAL Graphic Design Graphic design in the 2010s Program Anthologies & Art Theory A sourcebook of graphic design by one of the leading European art schools, the ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, headed by Alexis Georgacopoulos. Designed and art directed by Gilles Gavillet, this volume aims to show the variety of productions dealing with publishing, digital interfaces, and interactive devices, as well as to highlight the wealth of typographic practices in the field of contemporary design. ______________________________________ Edited by Angelo Benedetto Lionel Bovier Vincent Devaud Gilles Gavillet Alexis Georgacopoulos ______________________________________ Authors Angelo Benedetto Alexis Georgacopoulos François Rappo ______________________________________ Edition English / French March 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-455-3 Hardcover, 225 x 295 mm 160 pages Images 128 color CHF 48 / EUR 40 / £ 30 / US 49.95 ______________________________________ As François Rappo writes in this volume, "our everyday experience of graphic spaces, to use a generic term, is constantly expanding; spaces, whether static or dynamic and interactive—architecture, interfaces, posters, pages, packaging, screens—now form a new, continuous, optical landscape ... Following the logo-centric models inspired by semiotics, or drawing directly on the Conceptual art of the 1970s, today's graphic design has seen renewed interest in the sensory dimension of the visual experience, in terms of its qualities, modalities, and potential for modelization … The ECAL graphic design work showcased in the present publication—and today's design agenda—reveals the search for a synthesis, or rather a remix, of a certain fascination for the experiential nature of media, foregrounded as an innovative exploratory quality that in itself justifies the project, together with a focus on the contextual reality of the message and its social implications. This is a synthetic vision that is still on a quest for its own explicit models and that may dream of abolishing the figure of the author, a hangover from the 2000s, in favor of a broadly conceived perceptual community."

In addition, he has authored many monographic texts on artists such as Jay DeFeo, Sharon Lockhart, Kelley Walker, Luisa Lambri, Annette Kelm, and Michael Asher, among others. This book gathers together a selection of these essays, partially reedited, and often hard to find, as they were published as much in books as in various magazines. Together these texts appear as a parallel production to Beshty's own artistic practice: they reflect on the conditions of realization and circulation of images, they undermine essentialist distinctions of mediums, abstraction, and figuration, as well as proposing a true aesthetic of reception for the works examined. As the artist puts it, one of his ambitions might be to reveal that, "Art itself has the potential to democratize aesthetics and reimagine aesthetic production as communal, available, and nonhierarchical. I like the idea of demystifying aesthetics by communicating that we can all make aesthetic objects; it is not simply for those with capital or power." Walead Beshty earned a Bachelor of Arts from Bard College in 1999, and a Master of Fine Arts from Yale University School of Art in 2002. He is an Associate Professor in the Graduate Art Department at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, and has taught at numerous schools including the University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Irvine; the California Institute of the Arts; School of the Art Institute of Chicago; and the MFA Program at Bard College. Beshty has exhibited widely in numerous institutions and galleries around the world. This book is part of the "Positions" series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to artists' writings.

Artists such as John M Armleder, Yto Barrada, Gianfranco Baruchello, Ericka Beckman, Walead Beshty, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Sylvie Fleury (with Charlotte Posenenske's work), Sheila Hicks, Scott King, Ana Jotta, Lucy McKenzie & Beca Lipscombe (with Marc Camille Chaimowicz), David Noonan, Paulina Olowska, and Mai-Thu Perret, have exhibited there and crossed paths with Guy de Cointet, Lettrism, the Japanese avant-garde, Black Panther posters, and many other printed matter-focused projects. HAPAX Alfredo Aceto First publication Program Hapax Series Alfredo Aceto (b. 1991) is an artist working in painting, sculpture, drawing, and sound. Aceto has a singular approach, mixing personal anecdotes and art historical references. His obsessional relationship with French artist Sophie Calle, for instance, ended with her signature tattooed on his arm. Such stories lay the groundwork for many of his projects that deal with obsession, time, memory, identity, and death. ______________________________________ Edited by Andrea Bellini ______________________________________ Authors Alfredo Aceto Andrea Bellini ______________________________________ Edition English Available ISBN: 978-3-03764-445-4 Softcover, 105 x 165 mm 64 pages Images 32 color CHF 12 / EUR 10 / £ 7 / US 15 ______________________________________ Aceto graduated from ECAL in 2014.

This book presents a series of works by John Armleder based on these models, which he acquired partly by accident, and somewhat mischievously. In an interview with Mai-Thu Perret included in this volume, we come to understand that it is not so much the educational or iconographical dimension of these objects that the artist wished to reproduce, but rather the cascade of references to questions, technical as much as abstract or material, and also linked to figuration. Armleder therefore addresses questions of reproduction, displacement, and meaning, always in their multiple shifts, contradictions, and bifurcations.

Discussions around materiality reveal that infrastructure and logistics are of constitutive significance to the production and presentation of artworks. Over the course of the professionalization of the global art scene, the requirements relating to installation-based, ephemeral, and performative artworks, and how these are handled by the institutions, have continually become stricter, and issues of documentation have accordingly become more complex. On the one hand, new work concepts or works are changing the requirements for the "infrastructure" of museums. On the other hand, such "infrastructures" that now exist in many places are also directly stimulating the emergence of certain art forms. The publication includes contributions by Monika Dommann, Peter J. Schneemann, Tobias Vogt, Beat Wyss, among others, as well as a conversation between Sonia Kacem, Franziska Koch, Judith Welter, Monika Schori, and Christoph Lang. The reader "Art Handling" was initiated as a result of the symposium of the same name held at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in 2014, and covers central aspects of this topic in essays and in a round-table discussion.

In 2006 Zurich's City Council founded a strategic committee to establish a public art program related to the city's development. The Arbeitsgruppe für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum (Working Group for Public Art) has established many projects and initiatives and, among others, in 2011 it launched a research project to discuss the different forms that public art can take. With the support of the Federal Commission for Technology and Innovation (CT), a unique collaborative think tank drawn from the Lucerne School of Art Design, the Zurich University of the Arts, the City of Zurich, the City of Lucerne, and Heller Enterprise, as well as young Swiss artists, explored various ideas. This volume offers support to communal public art projects by proposing guidelines for good practice, and functions as a manual on how to plan, launch, finance, realize, document, and evaluate a project. Reference examples document the research process and illustrate artists' proposals: projects such as Superkilen, Ecobox, Quatschmobil, and The Center for Urban Pedagogy, located in Zurich and Lucerne, as well as abroad, are presented in detail to give insight in the circumstances, the specific features of the public space in which the project took place, which groups were addressed and involved, whether the project succeeded, and the public's feedback. The publication offers a global catalogue of public art projects realized in the recent years, as well as an extensive bibliography on this major area of contemporary urban planning. This book is the fourth volume of a series started in 2011, and is published with the City of Zurich (AG KiöR), Heller Enterprises, Institut für Gegenwartskunst (ZHdK), and with the City of Lucerne, Hochschule Luzern – Design & Kunst.

At the core of this reflection are historical positions that have borne witness to the way people have resisted repressive and dictatorial political systems in Latin America since the 1960s, often jeopardizing their own lives. The intention is to conduct a fresh exploration of the idea of resistance through a dialogue with contemporary positions. Performative strategies have regained significance in contemporary artistic practice in recent years, raising the question of whether these are still viable strategies to undermine hierarchical structures or even change political systems today? The publication includes essays by Rodrigo Alonso, Miguel A. López, Heike Munder, Nelly Richard, and Cristiana Tejo, and reflects on topics such as Argentina and its sociopolitical and interventional aspect; gender issues; collective memory and the notion of body trauma in Latin America; the dictatorship in Chile; and ephemeral art, more specifically Mail art.

LECTURES MAISON ROUGE Hubert Damisch Jean Dubuffet Entrée en matière Program Anthologies & Art Theory ______________________________________ Edited by Sophie Berrebi ______________________________________ Authors Sophie Berrebi Hubert Damisch Jean Dubuffet ______________________________________ Edition French Available ISBN: 978-3-03764-452-2 Softcover, 145 x 225 mm 240 pages Images 45 b/w CHF 25 / EUR 19.5 / £ 17 / US 29.95 ______________________________________ Friendship and exegesis French artist Jean Dubuffet and French art historian Hubert Damisch shared a long friendship between 1961—the year Damisch published his first essay on Dubuffet—and 1985—when the latter died. "Entrée en matière" gathers together all the texts written by Damisch on Dubuffet as well as a selection of their correspondence: one is able to follow how the thinking on a living artist could be inspired by a close relationship with him, but also by philosophy, human sciences, and other artists' oeuvres; and how in addition this thinking could evolve once the dialogue becomes a tribute monologue after the artist's death. Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985) is one of the main figures of postwar art, famous for his radical experimentation with form and material from the 1940s to the mid-1960s, his landmark bodies of later works such as "L’Hourloupe" (1962–1974) and "Coucou Bazar" (1973), his provocative thinking about high and low culture, and his advocacy for Art Brut artists. A philosopher specialized in aesthetics and art history, Hubert Damisch (b. 1928) is known for his essays on perspective, the theory of painting, and architecture. He edited the complete writings of Jean Dubuffet in four volumes between 1967 and 1985. Illustrated by Dubuffet' artworks and facsimiles of his correspondence, the volume is introduced and edited by art historian and curator Sophie Berrebi, a member of the editorial board of the academic journal "Stedelijk Studies," which publishes widely on contemporary art. This volume is the sixth title of the "Lectures maison rouge" series, directed by Patricia Falguières and co-published with La maison rouge, Paris.

Mainly showcasing large installations and sculptures in natural surroundings, these two events are crucial to the history of outdoor exhibitions, shifting the boundaries of traditional sculpture. Held six years before the first Sculpture Projects Münster (1977), "Sonsbeek 1971," curated by Wim Beeren, questioned the traditional concept of sculpture and exhibition, introducing film and video, and environmental art—notably through the now canonical examples of Robert Smithson, Panamarenko, and Claes Oldenburg. Fifteen years later, "Sonsbeek 1986," curated by Saskia Bos, proposed another rethinking of the exhibition by offering the visitor a "scaterred experience." The artworks were exhibited in specially designed glass pavilions throughout Sonsbeek park. Presenting the actuality of "new sculpture," the show brought together works by Katharina Fritsch, Michael Asher, Luciano Fabro, Ettore Spalletti, Thomas Schütte, Jan Vercruysse, Reinhard Mucha, Mario Merz, Hidetoshi, and James Casebere. Filmed by Jef Cornelis with his habitually acute sense of dramaturgy and his provocative mise-en-scène of theoterical conflicts, "Sonsbeek Buiten de Perken" (1971) and "Spaziergaenger mit Hund–Sonsbeek" (1986) constitute a unique moving image documentation of those pioneering art events that renewed the exhibition format. Jef Cornelis mainly worked for VRT, the Flemish Belgian national television. He realized more than 200 films, especially on architecture, literature, and the arts. Yves Aupetitallot is an art historian, curator, and art critic, and director of Le Magasin–Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble. His illustrated essay in the booklet offers essential reference points that elucidate the context and debates of these pivotal outdoor exhibitions.

The story can be told in just a few lines: in 1961 an artist paints five canvases inspired by pages in a horticulture book; then came parking meters bearing temporal commentaries, water hydrants, and animals. Some of them were shown at Leo Castelli Gallery, sold to collectors and public institutions, included in seminal exhibitions or books on Pop art: a seemingly normal progression in an artist's career, were it not for a rumor that emerged regarding his true identity. Alfred H. Barr, the director of MoMA, started to worry about it in 1964 and, after extensive inquiries, came to the conclusion that Vern Blosum did not exist. His paintings were taken down or sent back to storage, and the artist's name fell into oblivion. Vern Blosum does not exist, but his work does. And that is precisely what this book aims to reveal.

The book thus brings together avant-garde composers such as Elliott Carter, Pierre Boulez, and Karlheinz Stockhausen; originators of electro-acoustic music such as François Bayle, Pauline Oliveros, Iannis Xenakis, Robert Ashley, and Peter Zinovieff; Minimalist and Fluxus-inspired artists such as Tony Conrad, Phill Niblock, Yoko Ono, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley; as well as figures such as Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Arto Lindsay, and Caetano Veloso. Their contributions map the evolution of the musical field, from early experiments in concrete and abstract music, to the electronic development and the hybridization between Pop and avant-garde culture. Hans Ulrich Obrist (*May 1968) joined the Serpentine Gallery (London) as Co-Director of International Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects in 2006. The book is part of the Documents series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings. Second edition.

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED / CONTEMPORARY ART Sylvia Sleigh Retrospective monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books Although often overlooked in contemporary art, Welsh-born Sylvia Sleigh (1916–2010) became an important part of New York's feminist art scene in the 1960s and beyond. She was particularly well known for her explicit paintings of male nudes, which challenged the art historical tradition of male artists painting female subjects as objects of desire. ______________________________________ Edited by Giovanni Carmine Alexis Vaillant ______________________________________ Authors Giovanni Carmine Andrew Hottle Francesco Manacorda Linda Nochlin Mats Stjernstedt Alexis Vaillant ______________________________________ Edition English September 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-332-7 Hardcover, 280 x 272 mm 144 pages Images 100 color / 20 b/w CHF 74 / EUR 60 / £ 48 / US 80 ______________________________________ Sleigh trained in painting at Brighton School of Art at a time when female art students were, as she recalled, "treated in a second-rate fashion." Despite having a solo exhibition at Kensington Art Gallery in 1953, she received little public recognition until her move to New York in the 1960s. There she and her husband, the art critic and Guggenheim curator Lawrence Alloway, created a home that welcomed artists, writers, and musicians, many of whom Sleigh painted. These works radiate a sense of friendship and emotional attachment between the artist and her sitters, in addition to presenting an array of significant cultural figures of the time, such as Eleanor Antin, Nancy Spero, Agnes Denes, and Mary Beth Edelson. The paintings of Sylvia Sleigh testify of the couple's embrace of the local scene. Represented dressed or unclothed, both men and women are seen absorbed in immersive environments and described by an acid-pastel palette. From the end of the 1960s until her death, Sleigh participated in almost every large-scale American exhibition of feminist art, and showed at the women-run A.I.R. Gallery and SoHo 20 in New York, which she co-founded. This book is Sleigh's first retrospective monograph. Including texts by Linda Nochlin and curators of the first overview exhibition of her work, in 2012–2013, it also provides a complete biography and numerous reproductions of her paintings. It is published with Tate Liverpool, Stiftelsen Kunstnernes Hus, Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen, CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, and the support of FSEA. PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED / CONTEMPORARY ART Ericka Beckman Retrospective monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books Ericka Beckman makes films without plots in a conventional sense, constituting them rather from themes: socialization, acculturation, competition, and the organization of thoughts and memory. Since they are largely structured like games, they do not have characters; they have players. Like everything else about the films—the scenery, the props, the animation—the players are representatives, stand-ins contributing to Beckman's abstract ruminations on culture in a time-based medium. ______________________________________ Edited by Fabrice Stroun Geraldine Tedder ______________________________________ Authors John Beeson Lionel Bovier Vera Dika Jeanne Graff Fabrice Stroun Eric Zimmerman ______________________________________ Edition English May 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-421-8 Hardcover, 280 x 272 mm 144 pages Images 120 color CHF 74 / EUR 60 / £ 48 / US 80 ______________________________________ This lavishly illustrated reference monographs documents every film Ericka Beckman has made since her days as a CalArts graduate in the 1970s, and includes storyboards, production stills and notes, the librettos of her musicals, as well as a thorough photo-documentation of her multimedia installations.
