Leonilson emerged as a seminal figure of the Brazilian contemporary
art world during the 80s. Leonilson travelled extensively
throughout Europe, and his paintings, drawings, and installations
were featured in solo and group shows in France, Germany, Italy,
and Spain, in addition to many exhibitions held in Brazil. In 1991,
the artist tested positive for HIV. This diagnosis compelled a
decisive shift in his career, as Leonilson began to develop his
intimate embroideries, a practice he continued until his death in
1993 at the age of 36. Drawn: 1975-1993 will be the first
comprehensive retrospective of Leonilson's work in Europe and will
present over 150 works produced between 1975 and 1993. The
comprehensive catalogue will include essays by Lisette Lagnado, Ivo
Mesquita, Adriano Pedrosa and Krist Gruijthuijsen, as well as
interviews with Leonilson, Jan Fjeld and Edoardo Brandao.

The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed
Danish artist's collective Superflex, "An Artist with 6 Legs"
catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major
museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory,
politically engaged projects which they call "tools"--is
appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual
retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke
Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa,
Agustin Perez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija.
Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the
institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group
by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the
name "Superflex" with a black bar or the characters "XXXXXXX
throughout the catalogue. "An Artist with 6 Legs" is both
conceptual provocation and an essential reference.

This is the first comprehensive monograph on the young Brazilian
artist Marepe, who lives and works in Santo Antonio de Jesus in
Bahia Province in northwestern Brazil. The cosmos of this
location--Marepe's birthplace--provides the stimuli for his art.
His works, exhibited worldwide at Biennale festivals and museums
such as London's Tate Modern or Paris' Centre Pompidou, evolve from
the region's history, the daily lives of its people and the
creativity that helps them to survive. As Jens Hoffmann writes in
his essay: "Marepe's world is fairly unique and his works of art
are not just objects representing an idea or concept, they are
witnesses of his life and the condensation of his experiences and
his dreams. His interpretation of his surroundings is rendered into
multifaceted, poetic and frequently beautiful works of art, which
speak profoundly about some of the most relevant and even
existential questions of our lives." Adriano Pedrosa analyzes the
transformative impact of placing rows of water filters or replica
market stalls in an art context. Statements, notes and poetry from
the artist himself shed further light on the background of his
pieces.

Lina Bo Bardi is regarded as one of the most important architects
in Brazil's history. Beginning her career as a Modernist architect
in Rome, Bo Bardi and her husband emigrated to Brazil following the
end of WWII. Bo Bardi quickly resumed her practice in her adopted
homeland with architecture that was both modern and firmly rooted
in the culture of Brazil. In 1951 she designed "Casa de Vidro"
("Glass House"), her first built work, where she and her husband
would live for the rest of their lives. She also designed the Museu
de Arte de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo Art Museum), a landmark of Latin
American modernist architecture which opened in 1968. It was for
this museum she created the iconic glass easel display system,
which remains radical to date. This book presents a comprehensive
record of Bo Bardi's overarching approach to art and architecture
and shows how her exhibition designs, curatorial projects, and
writing informed her spatial designs. Essays on Bo Bardi's life and
work accompany archival material such as design sketches and
writings by the artist, giving new insight into the conceptual and
material processes behind this radical thinker and creator's
projects.
