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."
Celebrating the diversity of institutions in the United States,
Latin America, and Canada, Remix aims to change the discourse about
museums from the inside out, proposing a new,
"panarchic"-nonhierarchical and adaptive-vision for museum
practice. Selma Holo and Mari-Tere Alvarez offer an unconventional
approach, one premised on breaching conventional systems of
communication and challenging the dialogues that drive the field.
Featuring more than forty authors in and around the museum world,
Remix frames a series of vital case studies demonstrating how
specific museums, large and small, have profoundly advanced or
creatively redefined their goals to meet their ever-changing
worlds. Contributors: Piedade Grinberg (Brazil), Nichole Anderson

The first monograph on the acclaimed American environmental artist
Lita Albuquerque, whose works belong to the Land Art generation,
alongside James Turrell, Christo, Robert Smithson, and others.
Known internationally for her temporary and ephemeral
installations, paintings, and sculptures, Lita Albuquerque uses the
most unusual and challenging of Earth's surfaces as a canvas:
Antarctica, the Arctic, Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and South
Dakota's Badlands. She "paints" with a variety of mediums,
including brightly clad humans or fabricated spheres, which form
patterns over vast, wide-open spaces. This beautifully designed
survey of her career highlights Stellar Axis, for which Albuquerque
led an expedition to the South Pole to create the first installment
of a groundbreaking global project. In addition to essays placing
the artist's works in the broader contexts of environmental art and
science, Albuquerque provides personal reflections on her life's
work.
