The first-ever monograph on Reynaud-Dewar, one of today’s most celebrated multimedia artists
French artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar creates environments and situations in which she uses her own body to examine the dual experience of vulnerability and empowerment that results from acts of exposing oneself to the world. Evolving through a range of media such as performance, video, installation, sound, and literature, her work considers the fluid border between public and private space, challenging conventions related to the body, sexuality, power relations, and institutional spaces. This is the first book to document her remarkable career.
"Parallel Practices: Joan Jonas & Gina Pane" considers the
works of two pioneers of performance art. Jonas (born 1936) and
Pane (1939-1990) lived and worked in the United States and France
respectively. Each artist worked multidisciplinarily, producing
sculpture, drawings, installations, film and video in addition to
live actions. Notably, Jonas and Pane have been lauded for their
foundational work in performance, a field in which both of these
artists blazed trails. Published to accompany an exhibition at the
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, "Parallel Practices" explores the
trajectory of these artists' practices to reveal shared and
complementary aspects, as well as to highlight the significant
divergences and differences that characterize each artist's work.
It includes texts by curator Dean Daderko, Elisabeth Lebovici and
Anne Tronche and Barbara Clausen.
The appearance of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in the early 1980s and its
subsequent rapid spread around the world has left deep marks in
society. The illness itself and its effects on society have also
caused manifold responses by artists and activists in many
countries. United by AIDS, published in conjunction with an
extensive group show on the topic of loss, remembrance, activism
and art in response to HIV/AIDS at Zurich's Migros Museum of
Contemporary Art (Migros Museum fur Gegenwartskunst), sheds light
on the multi-faceted and complex interrelation between art and
HIV/AIDS from the 1980s to the present. It examines the blurred
boundaries between art production and HIV/AIDS activism and
showcases artists who played - and still play - leading roles in
this discourse. Alongside images of artworks and brief texts on the
represented artists, the book features voices from the past and
present. Essays by Douglas Crimp, Alexander Garcia Duttmann,
Raphael Gygax, Elsa Himmer, Ted Kerr, Elisabeth Lebovici ,and Nurja
Ritter broaden the view of the international discourse on HIV/AIDS
and society's confrontation with the disease.

A rebel and feminist, the Switzerland-born Miriam Cahn is one of
the major artists of her generation. Widely known for her drawings
and paintings, she also experiments with photography, moving
images, sculptures, and performance art. Cahn's diverse body of
work is disturbing and dreamlike, filled with striking human
figures pulsing with an energy both passionate and violent. These
pieces, along with Cahn's reflections on artistic expression, have
always responded to her contemporary moment. In the 1980s, her work
addressed the feminist, peace, and environmental movements, while
the work she produced in the 1990s and early 2000s contains
allusions to the war in the former Yugoslavia, the conflict in the
Middle East, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Her recent
production tackles ever-evolving political conflicts, engaging with
the European refugee crisis and the "#metoo" movement. Miriam Cahn:
I as Human examines different facets of the artist's prolific and
troubling oeuvre, featuring contributions from art historians,
critics, and philosophers including Kathleen Buhler, Paul B.
Preciado, Elisabeth Lebovici, Adam Szymczyk, Natalia Sielewicz and
