In Richard Deacon's solo exhibition Some Time, a refabricated
version of his sculpture Never Mind takes pride of place among more
than twenty-five other works. Over time, the original sculpture,
made in 1993, proved to be incompatible with the natural
environment of an open-air museum. Now, after a period of critical
reflection and discussion with the artist himself, what he calls a
'refabrication' has taken place. Follow the artist and the museum's
quest for an innovative, sustainable solution to the renewal of (or
variation on) a monumental sculpture that offers a potentially new
line of approach for the future. This book not only represents the
Some Time exhibition, but thanks to its diversity of material,
ranging from original sketches and intimate correspondence to
construction photos from the workshop and installation shots, it
also gives a unique insight into Deacon's working process. At the
same time, it provides a moment of critical reflection from the
perspectives of the various authors who have contributed to it.

Ivan Koaric (born 1921) is among Croatia's most significant
contemporary artists; in the late 1940s he was a central figure in
Yugoslavia's postwar avant-garde. Although he is renowned and
influential in Croatia, this survey represents the first
examination of his practice outside Croatia.
A TLS Book of the Year 2017 In this, the first anthology of Russian
contemporary art writing to be published outside Russia, many of
the country's most prominent contemporary artists, writers,
philosophers, curators and historians come together to examine the
region's contemporary art, culture and and theory. With
contributions from Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Boris Groys, Dmitri
Prigov, Anton Vidokle, Keti Chukhrov, Oxana Timofeeva, Pavel
Pepperstein, Arseny Zhilyaev and Masha Sumnina amongst many others,
this definitive collection reveals a compelling portrait of a
vibrant and complex culture: one built on a contradicting dialectic
between the material and the ideal, and battling its own histories
and ideologies.
Craigie Horsfield's incredibly moving photographic and video
meditations on the phenomenon of the crowd elicit a magical
sensation of life passing by at great speed, with both warmth and
sadness. Horsfield grasps that the very idea of the crowd
transforms itself constantly, both in specific circumstances of
congregation (such as dance) and as an historical phenomenon: today
we rarely envisage a crowd as a positive agency of social change,
for example. Commonly identified as a photographer, Horsfield has
often worked in other media--video, sound, drawing, performance and
installation--but this volume broaches new terrain, reproducing a
series of tapestries titled "Confluence and Consequence" (a title
which might stand for the artist's fascination with crowd
activity). The rich metaphors of weaving in relation to crowds, and
the warmth of fabric itself, responding to Horsfield's imagery, are
amply conveyed in this beautifully produced volume.
