Featuring four films by the young Irish filmmaker Kevin Gaffney,
Unseen By My Open Eyes is the first publication on the artist's
work, exploring the psychological landscapes that the artist
devises to explore the construction, projection and manipulation of
identity. Within the book, Gaffney's films are presented through a
series of richly illustrated sections, providing an excellent
insight into the artist's methodologies. The book explores subjects
ranging from: daily life in Iran; selfhood and military
conscription in Taiwan; geographic, political and emotional
separations in South Korea, with characters imagining what the moon
looks like from North Korea; and food consumption in a
self-sustaining militarised Ireland of the near future where
climate change has benefited agricultural production.The book
features English scripts of the five films, with an annex compiling
the scripts in Korean, Chinese, Persian and Gaeilge (Irish
Gaelic).Gaffney's works are contextualised through an accompanying
essay by Irish critic Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith.Gaffney was the
first Irish recipient of a Sky Academy Arts Scholarship in 2015,
and was an UNESCO-Aschberg laureate artist in residence at the
National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's Changdong
Residency in South Korea in 2014. His work features in the Irish
Museum of Modern Art's collection, and solo exhibitions have been
held at the Linenhall Arts Centre (Ireland), Millennium Court Arts
Centre (Northern Ireland) and CAI02 Contemporary Art Institute
(Japan).
The first monograph on New York-based contemporary artist Richard
Phillips, best known for his large-scale paintings that are
'ultra-cool' in execution and very hot in effect. Richard
Phillips's hyper realistic oil paintings embody themes as broad as
power, politics, celebrity, fashion, ideology, beauty, and sex, and
pose questions about the status of painting today: Does the medium
remain valid, or has it become a historical pastime? Pornography,
propaganda, advertising, entertainment, fashion-Phillips
incorporates material from a range of sources to confront what is
at the core of contemporary image making, from the power of
celebrity branding to complicity between viewer and viewed. The
book's exploitative design strategy celebrates the commercial and
fashion alliances of the artist's practice, while revealing the
complex politics behind the imagery the artist chooses to paint.
At the beginning of 2020, just as global Covid-19 restrictions were
coming into force, the artist David Hockney was at his house,
studio and garden in Normandy. From there, he witnessed the arrival
of spring, and recorded the blossoming of the surrounding landscape
on his iPad, a medium he has been using for over a decade. Working
outdoors was an antidote to the anxiety of the moment for Hockney
– 'We need art, and I do think it can relieve stress,' he says.
This uplifting publication – produced to accompany a major
exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts – includes 116 of his new
iPad paintings and shows to full effect Hockney's singular skill in
capturing the exuberance of nature.

The fourth edition of the essential introduction to digital art,
one of contemporary art’s most exciting and dynamic forms of
practice. Digital art, along with the technological developments of
its medium, has rapidly evolved from the ‘digital revolution’
into the social media era and to the postdigital and post-Internet
landscape. This new, expanded edition of this invaluable overview
of the medium traces the emergence of artificial intelligence,
augmented and mixed realities, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and
surveys themes explored by digital artworks in the areas of
activism, networks and telepresence, and ecological art and the
Anthropocene. Christiane Paul considers all forms of digital art,
focusing on the basic characteristics of their aesthetic language
and their technological and art-historical evolution. By looking at
the ways in which internet art, digital installation, software art,
AR and VR have emerged as recognized artistic practices, Digital
Art is an essential critical guide.
