Melanie Smith: Farce and Artifice is the publication that takes up the idea of the exhibition organised by the MACBA, jointly with the MUAC Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo and UNAM, in Mexico City, and the Museo Amparo, in Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest organised to date in Europe about the work of an artist who defies easy classification, born in England (Poole, 1965) but active on the Mexican art scene since the nineties.

This publication explores the work of the acclaimed Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay (1955), presenting a selection of works focusing on his sound compositions, from graphic scores to video installations. In this artist's book, he shows the relationship between sound and vision, exploring the ways that sound can be made visually manifest. As the artist himself has said: 'music runs through almost everything I do'. It includes essays by the critic Erika Balsom, the curator Tanya Barson and the writer Tom McCarthy. Trilingual edition (Catalan, Spanish, English).

Focus at Infinity is the catalogue of the first major institutional exhibition of the New York artist Rosemarie Castoro (1939-2015) focused on the period 1964-79. The publication draws together an extensive selection of images concerning her paintings, sculptures, drawings, language and performances, and confirms the standing of an artist who, like so many other women artists, has not received the attention she deserves. The exhibition shows her work in detail for the first time, revealing the diversity of her practice, which encompassed abstract painting, conceptual works, performative actions in the street and studio, poetry, mail art, sculpture, installation and land art. It explores the context of her work, her activism including her role in the Art Workers' Coalition, her association with contemporaries such as Carl Andre, Hollis Frampton, Sol LeWitt and Yvonne Rainer among others, and her relation to feminism. The exhibition will consider Castoro's unique contribution to `intermedia', interrelating painting, sculpture, drawing, language and performance. It will address how key contributors to Minimalism have yet to be given due attention, particularly the coterie of woman artists in a movement that is often erroneously identified as essentially masculine, who, as Lippard said, `subverted minimalism on its own turf'. As a result of a consideration of Castoro's work, the exhibition will emphasise the need to rethink Minimalism, expanding it to include a greater range of artists and to question its accepted tenets
