Photographs, books, and knickknacks: artists collect a variety
of objects. While artists generatepersonal collections, which often
address different formal, aesthetic, or conceptual concerns, it
isdifficult to separate this activity from their artistic
practices. Over time, whether intended or not,such accumulations of
items may become works of art.
Individual Stories considers the collection as a portrait of its
collector and also as an artisticmethod—as a process rather than an
end result. The act of collecting is multifarious—it can be
anexpression of curiosity, a desire to transform things that have
been discovered, or a systematicapproach to certain objects in the
world. This catalogue is a compilation of individual
collectionsthat could not be more different.

Sara Barker: Change-The-Setting
Fruitmarket Gallery 2016 ISBN 9781908612380 Acqn 25967Pb 21x27cm
160pp 80col ills £24.95
This exhibition by Glasgow-based artist Sara Barker (born in
Manchester in 1980) presents twosequences of new work made
specially for The Fruitmarket Gallery together with a small
numberof existing works.Sara Barker works on the boundary between
sculpture, painting and drawing. Since beginning toexhibit her work
in 2004, she has developed a visual language of paint, steel,
aluminium, brassand glass; and a way of working which is
meditative, focusing on memory, individual perception,and a
blurring of line and colour.With its combination of new and
existing work, this exhibition offers the opportunity to spend
timelearning the language of Barker’s art, enjoying how her objects
change in relation both to you andto each other as you walk around
and among them.
The exhibition is called CHANGE-THE-SETTING. This title is meant
to function like a stagedirection, invoking a situation in which
one element can be changed to allow the others torecombine in a
different way.Exhibition and publication produced in collaboration
with IKON, Birmingham.This new book which charts the development of
Sara Barker’s visual language from its earliestbeginnings includes
new writing from curator and writer Katharine Stout and novelist
Ali Smith.

ISBN 9781938748233 Acqn 25837Hb 23x31cm 72pp col ills £73.50
Drawing has always been central to Baselitz's art. Parallel to
his cerebral yet impassionedpaintings and roughly hewn sculptures,
the practice of drawing is a test-site for assimilation
anddisorientation in his oeuvre. In a new series of two-part ink
drawings, Baselitz is "visited" byKatsushika Hokusai (1760–1849),
whose exquisitely controlled colour-woodblock printsepitomized the
refined ukiyo-e genre in Japanese art and persist in the popular
imagination today.

In his ongoing investigation of his intimate environment, Wood
fuses artistic influences as diverseas the domestic interiors of
Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, and David Hockney to Chinese
andJapanese still-life scenes, ancient pottery and the guileless
textiles of Josef Frank. Samplingsubjects from his own photographs,
he reiterates them through an intensive process of drawing.Filling
the compressed spaces of his paintings with figures, plants, and
household objects, Woodreimagines the world as a variegated collage
of overlapping patterns, flatly rendered. Paintedoutlines of pots
and vases—often based on the work of his wife Shio Kusaka and
fuelled by theirshared interest in the history of ceramics—contain
landscape and interior imagery, while verdantinteriors possess an
affectless cut-out appearance.

£24.95
In the summer of 2013, the curators of Moscow's Garage Museum of
Contemporary Art andLjubljana's Moderna Galerija began to discuss
mounting an exhibition in Moscow of the Arteast2000+ Collection,
the first museum collection focused on Eastern European postwar
avant-gardeartists. As Kate Fowle writes in her introduction,
"Never before in Russia had there been anexhibition dedicated to
presenting art from Eastern Europe in a way that integrated
Russianartists into the story." Grammar of Freedom/Five Lessons
begins an inquiry into the network of
artistic influences in the "former East." The show and the
catalogue propose a "grammar," or setof tools, that shed light on
how artistic strategies have created resistance to--or
providedalternative commentaries on--a range of social and
political situations. More than 60 artists andart collectives from
Eastern Europe and countries of the former USSR are included, with
worksranging from the 1960s up to the present day. Featured artists
include Marina Abramovic, GetaBratescu, Ion Grigorescu, Sanja
Ivekovic, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Dan Perjovschi and
MladenStilinovic, among others.

Whether using Internet-based installations or graphic data
visualisations, these artists questionthe relevance and place of
the individual in a technologically wired society in which each of
usgenerates a nearly incomprehensible amount of data on a daily
basis. The digital traces we leavebehind reflect a world
increasingly controlled by data, and the artistic positions
presented in thisbook seek to make those continuous streams of
information visible. Through the phenomena of“big data” and “data
mining”, critical questions are posed about our ambivalence towards
living insuch a world. With essays by Orit Halpern, Claudia Mareis,
Ramón Reichert, and others.

Each drawing in New York-based Australian artist Mark Hilton’s
new artist's book 'HalfFlush' adopts a duality that can't help but
to stir something in the viewer. Using the standard packof cards as
his organising principle, Hilton mixes desire, degradation,
contamination, zealotry andviolence into a brew often sweetened by
humour. Each suit has a theme that works more as astarting point
than a defining rule: diamonds are class; hearts are religion;
spades arenationalism; clubs are the environment. Using graphite
pencil on white paper, Hilton employs arange of styles, from highly
intricate realism to cartoons and simple line sketches.

9780987353054 Acqn 25568Pb 21x27cm 218pp 260ills 60col £42.95
Sydney-based artist Daniel Boyd’s particular iteration of
postcolonial history painting, video, andinstallation work seems to
centre on the deletion of information and history, especially in
relationto Boyd’s Aboriginal and Vanuatuan heritage. But there is
more to his distinctive pointillisttechnique, in which he blackens
much of the surface, leaving only flashes of perceptual detail
thatreveal the information beneath, than a simple rumination on
erasure. Boyd’s devices are not justabout absence, but a kind of
psycho-historical ellipsis, and the enshrouding dark matter is
asmuch an element of the image as are the landscapes, portraits,
reflections, and refractions oflight.
