Filled with photographs of unpopulated studios, Paul Winstanley's
exploration of British art schools highlights their importance at a
time when the art school system's existence is more fraught than
ever. For this series, Winstanley (b.1954) photographed
undergraduate studio spaces in more than 50 art colleges across the
United Kingdom over the summers of 2011 and 2012. These
rough-and-ready, nearly neutral spaces are photographed as found;
empty in the period between school years. Collectively, the works
highlight the abstraction of the interiors with their temporary
white walls, paint stains, neutral floors and open spaces.
Photographed in this manner, their sterile nature is juxtaposed
with their intended purpose of fostering intense creativity for a
future generation of artists. Over 200 full-colour illustrations -
which combine images from various schools to form their own
abstract space - are accompanied by writings from two professors of
fine art: a text by Jon Thompson and an interview with the artist
by Maria Fusco. To commemorate the publication, Winstanley created
a limited-edition digital print from the Art School series. Each
edition is hand-finished by the artist and contained within a
custom-made slipcase containing a signed copy of the book.
The first of four special publications to accompany a year-long display of works from Barcelona’s ‘la Caixa’ Collection at Whitechapel Gallery, selected by and featuring newlycommissioned fictional works by some of the most original English and Spanish-language writers working today.
Established in Barcelona in 1985 by Fundación ‘la Caixa’, the ‘la Caixa’ Collection of Contemporary Art features over 1,000 works of international contemporary art from the last 30 years, including artists such as Antoni Tąpies, Joseph Beuys, Cornelia Parker and Doris Salcedo.
For a major four-part display running from 2019–20, Whitechapel Gallery has partnered with ‘la Caixa’ Collection to showcase key pieces from the Collection, with each of the four ‘chapters’ curated by a contemporary writer, who will also contribute a brand new work of fiction in response to their selection. Each display will be accompanied by a fullyillustrated catalogue featuring the works displayed and the new text, accompanied by a foreword and introduction from both institutions.

Out of print for fifty years, Jeff Nuttall's legendary exploration
of radical 1960s art, music, and protest movements. " Bomb Culture
is an abscess that lances itself. An extreme book, unreasonable but
not irrational. Abrasive, contemptuous, attitudinizing, ignorant
and yet brilliant." -Dennis Potter Out of print for fifty years,
Jeff Nuttall's Bomb Culture has achieved legendary status as a
powerful, informative, and spirited exploration of 1960s
alternative society and counterculture. Nuttall's confessional
account of the period investigates the sources of its radical art,
music, and protest movements as well as the beliefs, anxieties, and
conceits of its key agitators, including his own. Nuttall argued
that a tangible psychic dread of nuclear holocaust pervaded both
high and low cultures, determining their attitude and content, much
as the horrors of World War I had nourished the tactics and
aesthetics of Dadaism. Accompanying the original text is a new
foreword by author Iain Sinclair, who was closely acquainted with
Jeff Nuttall and participated in the turbulent underground culture
described in Bomb Culture. This anniversary edition is rounded out
with an afterword by writer Maria Fusco and a contextual
introduction by the book's editors which includes photographs and
images of Nuttall's distinctive artwork as well as further archival
materials.
