L'Internationale is a trans-institutional network of five major
European museums and artists' archives: Moderna Galerija Ljublana,
Julius Koller Society Bratislava/Vienna, MACBA Barcelona, Van
Abbemusuem Eindhoven and MHKA Antwerp. With these five museums and
their respective collections as a starting point,
"L'Internationale: Post-War Avant-Gardes Between 1957 and 1986"
presents a range of case studies and historiographical and
theoretical essays that reconsider a period in art history that was
dominated by the art of Western Europe and North America. The
publication instead portrays a more dispersed, multi-polar and
interconnected neo-avant-garde, one that existed long before it
became common to think in terms of globalization or
trans-nationalism. In the process, this book questions how local
narratives can be brought together in a new "rhizomatic" way, one
that works to reshape our ideas of translocalism and
internationalism.
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.

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.
