Bettina is the first monograph to showcase the work of the
previously unsung artist Bettina Grossman, whose wildly
interdisciplinary practice spanned photography, sculpture, textile,
cinema, drawing, and more. An eccentric personality fully dedicated
to her art, Bettina lived in the famous Chelsea Hotel from 1968
until her death in late 2021. In her tiny studio, she produced and
accumulated a considerable body of work, much of which has remained
unseen and unpublished until now. Her interests ranged from
geometric and abstract studies, drawn from observations of people
on the street, to pieces that transformed language into graphic,
abstract "verbal forms." Incorporating strategies of chance and the
abstraction of everyday form through repetition and seriality,
Bettina pushed the photographic medium to and beyond its limits. As
Robert Blackburn, artist and founder of the Printmaking Workshop,
astutely observed of Bettina's work: "The photography, film,
sculpture are as one, for the photographic medium is employed not
only for documentation but as an endless source of inspiration from
which other disciplines emerge-and merge." Bettina was the winner
of the Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award Arles 2020 and is
copublished by Aperture and Editions Xavier Barral.

This book reveals the work of the artist and activist Yto Barrada.
Her artistic practice draws upon the roles of activist, educator,
architect, botanist and anthropologist to explore expressions of
communality and individual being. The exhibition presented at
Mathaf focuses on the threads of regeneration and growth moving
between architecture, urban transformation, horticulture,
experimental education and home economics. Weaving together these
interdisciplinary methods of making and discovery, the exhibition
articulates desires for equality, self-expression and exploration.
The artist’s personal and collective experiences of Tangier are
expressed through a multitude of mediums to investigate the
structures and systems of life in that city. These work in parallel
with similar investigations by the artist into systems in the US,
to compose a critical and poetic reading of overlooked histories
and realities. Barrada’s works in this exhibition offer an open
dialogue on the possible restitution of basic democratic ideals
such as shelter, sustenance and communality. Barrada’s work
offers a mode of associative thinking and making, emphasising the
right to exist, learn and shape the world around us. In the
galleries, her works live together, presenting starting points for
possible collective narratives, which recirculate within the spaces
as a composition and as new stories in themselves. Text in English
and Arabic.

Erro, Iceland s most prominent painter, receives long overdue
critical attention for his contributions to international Pop, late
Surrealism, and contemporary figurative painting in this sumptuous
monograph. Since introducing exclusively source-image-based painted
collage to the European Pop movement in 1959, Erro has produced an
influential body of work mining cartoons and art history on
canvases marked by political satire and his own cheerfully
dystopian observations of human nature. Prescient and timely, Erro
s paintings are marked by a voracious consumption of imagery
synthesizing a hallucinatory vision of contemporary visual culture.
Often compared to Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Roy
Lichtenstein, Erro s multifigure narratives, refusal to commit to a
singular style, and obsession with cartoons set his practice apart.
An essay by Ruba Katrib connects Erro to today s
figurative-painting practices, and a chronology by Danielle Kvaran
traces his wild figurations of history and subjects, ranging from
Winston Churchill to contemporary music icons. Newly photographed
details and a concentration on Erro s canvases of the last ten
years offer a fresh perspective to his European audience and a
welcome introduction for his American one.
