Part of JRP]Ringer's innovative "Documents" series, published with
Les Presses du Reel and dedicated to critical writings, this
publication comprises a unique collection of interviews by Hans
Ulrich Obrist mapping the development of the curatorial field--from
early independent curators in the 1960s and 70s and the
experimental institutional programs developed in Europe and the
U.S. through the inception of Documenta and the various biennales
and fairs--with pioneering curators Anne D'Harnoncourt, Werner
Hoffman, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, Seth Siegelaub, Walter Zanini,
Johannes Cladders, Lucy Lippard, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hulten and
Harald Szeemann. Speaking of Szeemann on the occasion of this
legendary curator's death in 2005, critic Aaron Schuster summed up,
"the image we have of the curator today: the curator-as-artist, a
roaming, freelance designer of exhibitions, or in his own witty
formulation, a 'spiritual guest worker'... If artists since Marcel
Duchamp have affirmed selection and arrangement as legitimate
artistic strategies, was it not simply a matter of time before
curatorial practice--itself defined by selection and
arrangement--would come to be seen as an art that operates on the
field of art itself?"

You may know John Armleder as a Swiss artist whose work is
emblematic of 80s Neo-Geo. Or you may know him as the artist who
recently hung a disco ball at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
But this catalogue raisonna of Armleder's drawings shows how great
a contribution he has made to shaping of the history of recent
abstraction. Collecting almost 40 years of some 600 works on paper,
the book traces Armleder's career through his Fluxus,
Constructivist, "dot," and Neo-Geo periods, though it would be a
mistake to pin any label on so versatile an artist and one who
hasn't ever closed off a line of investigation. This branch of his
oeuvre offers direct insight into his continued, often humorous
confrontation with art, especially with the abstract and
conceptual, and with the relationship of art to everyday reality.

No less versatile in his writing than in his installations, films,
architecture, and sculpture, Liam Gillick unites his critical
essays in this collection, most of which were originally printed in
art magazines or exhibition catalogues. Lauded for his ingenious
reinterpretation of Conceptual and Minimalist art, Liam Gillick has
often used language, whether in type on a wall or on a page, as a
site of artistic, theoretical, and political intervention. He
reveals himself here as a witness of and major actor in the largely
European 1990s art scene that included Philippe Parreno, Pierre
Huyghe, Carsten H ller, Angela Bulloch, Douglas Gordon, and Rirkrit
Tiravanija. A key publication of discussions, references, and
artistic engagements of the 1990s, the book also allows an
examination of the renewed importance at this time of Felix
Gonzalez-Torres, John Baldessari, and Allen Ruppersberg.

French-Moroccan artist Yto Barrada (born 1971) explores
postcolonial history and contemporary geopolitical shifts from a
non-western perspective, with a particular focus on her hometown of
Tangiers. In 2004 she won recognition for her photographic series
"A Life Full of Hopes--The Strait Project." This volume provides a
retrospective of her films, installations, sculptures and
publications.
A bricoleur of uniquely American utopian/dystopian cosmologies, Jim
Shaw (born 1952) weds themes from American religious history with
motifs from 1960s and 70s counterculture, often coining
rubrics--such as his invented religion of "O"--or series under
which to unify these narratives. "My Mirage" is Shaw's earliest
sequence of this kind. Conceived between 1986 and 1991, arranged in
chapters and constituted of nearly 170 works--drawn, silk-screened,
photographed, sculpted, filmed or painted in a different style--"My
Mirage" recounts the wanderings of Billy, a white, middle-class
American sucked into the whirlwind of the 1960s and 70s
counterculture. An anxious and withdrawn youth consumed by
psychotic hallucinations, Billy joins a psychedelic pagan cult,
eventually and inevitably returning to the religion of his youth,
"reborn" as a fundamentalist Christian. Shaw's broad iconography
for this visual bildungsroman ranges from children's books to
contemporary art, religious literature and psychedelic poster art,
all juxtaposed en face--one image per page--to relay an associative
narrative progression. From the start, the project was intended for
the book format as its ideal incarnation, and this edition was
therefore created in close collaboration with the artist. "My
Mirage" offers one of Shaw's most concise statements on vernacular
culture and the wild polarities of religious life in postwar
America.
In 2006, Italian photographer Armin Linke was given a commission by
the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, and proposed a
photographic mapping of all the institutions now housed in various
historical buildings in Rome. The result is a portrait of the
Italian State through rarely seen interiors.
Since 2011, French multimedia artist Xavier Veilhan (born 1963) has
been working on "Rays," an ongoing series of works formulated as a
tribute to Jesus Rafael Soto and Fred Sandback. These immersive and
optical environments, recorded in this volume, play with scale and
light.

Australian artist David Noonan (born 1969) uses found imagery as
the basis for his screenprinted canvases and sculptures. Enigmatic
figures, printed in grainy black and white or sepia, pose in these
elaborate artworks, invoking covert and futuristic rituals. This
monograph will be the first comprehensive overview of Noonan's
work.
Scott King moves fluidly back and forth between art and design. As
Art Director of "i-D "and Creative Director of "Sleazenation
"magazines (for which he was awarded Best Cover and Best Designed
Feature of the Year prizes), King's design work is already
well-known around the world. As an artist, King plays fast and
loose with twentieth-century icons: in "Brian," for example, a
viewer recognizes at a glance Lenin's familiar visage, with the
face turned sternly to the side, the moustache plumping his
marblesque upper lip, but the face on this white bust bears eye
makeup and a hint of blush, and feathers sprout from the neck on
either side. ("Lenin as Brian Eno in his early Roxy Music days,"
King explains.) Often, King's art seems virtually indistinguishable
from his design work, as in his maps whose cheerfully colored
Marimekko-ish dots represent domestic murders. This monograph is
dedicated to the many hats of Scott King, whose work has been
exhibited widely in London, New York and European galleries
including KW Berlin, Portikus, White Columns, Kunstverein Munich
and The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
