Ari Marcopoulos is an inveterate maker of zines. This project
collects in one volume for the first time a selection of zines by
Marcopoulos, many never before released, providing a unique insight
and overview into an essential part of this influential artist’s
daily practice. Often self-published or created in
collaboration with boutique and independent publishers like ROMA,
Dashwood Books, and PPP Editions, these informal, DIY-aesthetic
creations function as sketchbook, diary, installation space, and a
means of processing Marcopoulos’s daily practice of photographing
his life, his family, his neighborhood, and the rarified cultural
milieu in which he operates. This collection showcases an
impressive array of printed zines, exploring each as an artistic
object through an engaging layout. Beginning in 2015 and presented
chronologically per year, key zines are featured—including some
made during the pandemic, when Marcopoulos worked primarily on the
screen, making PDF zines—and punctuated by individual images
presented full scale. An interview with Hamza Walker underscores
the role of zines as an essential part of Marcopoulos’s artistic
practice, emphasizing the personal, diaristic element within the
work, while an essay from Maggie Nelson meditates on the work’s
position within a wider social and cultural context. Ari
Marcopoulos: Zines is a must-have for anyone interested in this
prolific artist’s personal practice and zine culture.

The first comprehensive monograph on one of today’s most
innovative and successful painters – made in close collaboration
with the artist Defined by bold brushstrokes, a dynamic use of
color and imaginative compositions, the paintings of Dana Schutz
are panoramic expanses that offer visions of humanity in all its
complex facets. Her deeply subjective approach, untethered from
realism, translates into images that seem to exist in a place that
transcends time while celebrating the intrinsic qualities of her
medium of choice with freedom and intelligence. As the artist
herself stated, ‘I’m interested in painting as an affective
place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within
the space of a painting.’ This first comprehensive monograph on
her work was created in close collaboration with the artist and
features a number of never-before-seen paintings and drawings.

A timely and expansive survey of a groundbreaking American art
movement that overturned aesthetic hierarchies in a riot of color
and ornamentation The Pattern and Decoration movement emerged in
the 1970s as an embrace of long-dismissed art forms associated with
the decorative. Pioneering artists such as Miriam Schapiro
(1923-2015), Joyce Kozloff (b. 1942), Robert Kushner (b. 1949), and
others appropriated patterns, frequently from non-Western
decorative arts, to produce intricate, often dizzying or gaudy
designs in media ranging from painting, sculpture, and collage to
ceramics, installation art, and performance. This dazzling book
showcases an astonishing array of works by more than 40 artists
from across the United States, examining the movement's defiant
adoption of art forms traditionally viewed as feminine,
craft-based, or otherwise inferior to fine art. In addition to
offering an overview of the Pattern and Decoration movement as it
is commonly recognized, this volume considers artists of the period
who are not typically associated with the movement. Rethinking the
significance of patterns and the decorative in postwar American
art, this panoramic view provides new insights into abstraction,
feminism, and installation art. Essays explore the movement's
feminist methods and values, including Miriam Schapiro's "femmage"
practice; its impact on contemporary abstract painting; and its
relationship to postmodern architecture and design. Artist
biographies, an exhibition history, and reprints of historically
significant writings further establish With Pleasure as the most
expansive publication on the subject. Published in association with

Austrian Heimo Zobernig's work intervenes, rearranges,
recontextualizes, and down-right makes fun of the architecture of
museum/gallery spaces so as to demystify its illusory potential and
reinscribe it with self-referentiality. Zobernig is among several
significant contemporary artists such as Michael Asher, General
Idea, and Daniel Buren who have made it their mission to critique
sites of modern art. In Zobernig's 1996 installation, the gallery
walls from the Society's preceding exhibition were laid flat on the
floor-a neat-handed figure/ground reversal turning support into
sculpture. In another provocative turn, Zobernig brought the
outside in to this altered gallery space via video - he had himself
filmed cavorting arond the Renaissance Society hallway naked in
front of walls that were painted video back-drop blue; this image
was then super-imposed on footage shot while driving around
Chicago. This informative and engaging book, designed by Zobernig,
serves as a valuable pictorial document, and an insightful critical
analysis of this important work. Walker's essay speaks to the
challenge Zobernig's art poses for art history and the implications
of that challenge for the future of art. In addition, the catalog
features a transcript of the panel discussion: Planned
Obsolescence, in which a group of critics, curators and
architectural historians gathered to discuss how Zobernig's
practice differs from, or further informs, practices that have made
an art out of calling for an end of art.
Since 1975, photographer Dawoud Bey has developed a body of work
distinguished for its commitment to portraiture as a means for
reflecting social circumstances. Ranging from street encounters to
studio portraits, Bey has investigated numerous photographic
methods to find increased engagement with his subjects. The
Renaissance Society exhibition this catalogue accompanies (May 13 -
July 13, 2012) included selections from Bey's work spanning the
thirty years from 1982 to the present. The exhibition offered a
comprehensive look at Bey's oeuvre, and provided an opportunity to
explore related subjects in art history and social discourse, such
as the presentation of self, race, site, and the relationship
between artist and subject. Includes essays by Arthur Danto and
Julie Bernson as well as an interview between Bey and the
Renaissance Society's Associate Curator and Director of Education,
Hamza Walker.
