Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by world renowned artist Enrique Martinez Celaya, from 2005 to the present. Following his installation of Schneebett at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2004, Martinez Celaya's work has undergone significant transformation while remaining intellectually and emotionally ambitious, connecting art to philosophy, literature, and science. This book, a companion to the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, shows Martinez Celaya's work of the last seventeen years as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape the artist crosses in a search for meaning. Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything, co-edited in collaboration with the artist, includes over 120 illustrations; an introduction by Selma Holo; essays by Susan M. Anderson, Alexander Nemerov, Elizabeth Prelinger, and Ed Schad; poetry by Mark Irwin and David St. John; and an interview with the artist."

The artist Enrique Martinez Celaya and the collector couple Gudrun and Martin Fritsch have shared the same passion for decades: enthusiasm for and preoccupation with the work of Kathe Kollwitz. While the Berlin collector couple built up the most important privately owned Kollwitz collection, the artist referred to the artist in many ways in his work. Parallels can also be found in the artistic practice of Martinez Celaya and Kollwitz. The work of both artists occupies a space between drawing and sculpture and articulates a deeply felt humanism as an expression of their respective biographies. On the occasion of the exhibition at Galerie Judin, Enrique Martinez Celaya created a group of works distilling his examination of Kathe Kollwitz, which now enters into an exciting dialogue with the works from the Fritsch Collection.

This collection, spanning nearly a decade of artistic activity, features selections of writings that trace the intellectual influences and track the development of one of the more formidable and productive minds in the contemporary art world. The writings comprise Enrique Martinez Celaya's public lectures; essays; interviews; correspondence with artists, critics, and scholars; artist statements; blog posts; and journal entries. These texts were written during Martinez Celaya's appointment as Visiting Presidential Professor at the University of Nebraska; Roth Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Dartmouth College; and, most recently, as the first Provost Professor of Humanities and Arts at the University of Southern California. Marked by Martinez Celaya's encyclopedic curiosity and considerable knowledge about the world, these writings and interviews explore the role of art in life, evaluate texts by other modern and contemporary artists and thinkers, and reveal the artist's deep engagement with artistic, philosophical, and literary lines of inquiry.

In On Art and Mindfulness, world-renowned artist and celebrated teacher Enrique Martinez Celaya shares his views and advice on the art-making process, the development of a practice, the management of obstacles, and the day-to-day choices we must make in order to remain creative and honest. Drawn from the actual sold-out workshops that Martinez Celaya taught over nine years at the venerable Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado, these concise teachings are relevant not only to artists but to anyone wishing to live a mindful, productive life.
