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.

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.
