Designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, the book will be published alongside the Hauser & Wirth London exhibition opening in late May 2014. A never-before-published interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist provides insight into drawings that are not preparations but, rather, daily exercises done before, during, and after the creation of her sculptures. While the works on paper range in style, they demonstrate a consistency in colour and form in their exploration of ideas related to structures, architectural interiors and urban surroundings. Unlike sculptures from her early career that have not been preserved, Barlow’s works on paper stretch back to the early 1960s when she was a student at Chelsea College of Art. This new publication, thus, charts a career-long commitment to artistic inquiry at the vanguard of contemporary art.

Using tons of sand specially shipped there, the iconic arena was transformed into a beach and, during a process of non-stop activity co-ordinated by Willem Stijger, slowly mutated into a moonscape. It created a backdrop for a series of interventions by 20 artists in and around the arena—Uri Aran, Daniel Buren, Elvire Bonduelle, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Loretta Fahrenholz, Fischli & Weiss, Jef Geys, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster/Ari Benjamin Meyers/Tristan Bera, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Klara Lidén, Renata Lucas, Benoît Maire, Oscar Murillo, Anri Sala, Pilvi Takala, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tris Vonna-Michell, and Lawrence Weiner. This book offers a complete record of the event, and presents chronological photographic documentation, allowing the event to be reconstructed and understood as a whole for the first time. An extensive discussion between Liam Gillick, Philippe Parreno, and Hans Ulrich Obrist sheds light on the event’s historical context and its experimental potential.

Today, her oeuvre encompasses paintings, drawings, collages, video sculptures, objects, and publications. A narrative element, fed with personal mythologies, experiences, feelings, and relationships, runs through all of her works. Particularly in her late figurative painting, which almost appears to dissolve into the ornamental, she creates scenarios in symbolic settings, in which she also consistently celebrates a playful handling of the subject matter. Since the 1960s, this visual self-empowerment has been read as a contribution to the liberalization of female sexuality. On the other hand, Iannone, who takes a spiritual, existential approach, has never seen herself as part of a feminist movement. However, in bringing her works to the public, she inevitably manifests a self-understanding through her handling of controversial subject matter. This publication sheds light on Iannone’s work in relation to censorship, based on her artist’s book "The Story of Bern." In spring 1969, the artist was confronted with the confiscation of her works in the exhibition "Freunde (Friends)" at Kunsthalle Bern, under the directorship of Harald Szeemann. Iannone responded to this boycott by producing a book, in which she made her perspective public and thus reclaimed self-determination over the content-related and formal aspects of her work, which had been labeled controversial.

This year Laura Owens (*1970, Los Angeles) has deployed resources and methods drawn from art history and traditional printing craftsmanship. She took as inspiration the art magazine View, from the 1940s, when printing presses were still the pulse of every newspaper and publishing organization. She has created a very haptic cover in typographic print, as well as drawings to be reproduced using silkscreen. Allowing the inclusion of up to nine colors, this methodology implies a realization by printing experts who still master the old book and screenprinting methods. A technical challenge made visual delight. Limited edition of 300 copies.

Focusing particularly on Italian and French design, their collection is the most important of its kind today, spanning creations from the 1950s to the 1990s with special attention to the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It includes large groups of works by Paulin, Guariche, Castiglioni, and the biggest collection of Sarfatti, who, according to the Krzentowskis, is “the best of his category, because he was a long-lasting researcher of forms and techniques. As soon as a new bulb was created, he was making a new lamp that was completely minimal.” “The Complete Designers’ Lights II (1950–1990)” is the second and revised edition, corrected and augmented with many new lamps. It provides priceless documentation and a visual guide for those interested in light design and furniture history, offering a detailed insight into this particular and fascinating field. Conceived as a catalogue raisonné of nearly 500 lights, this book also includes a discussion between Didier Krzentowski, the design historian and Director of the Bordeaux Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design, Constance Rubini, and the journalist and design critic Pierre Doze, as well as an essay by the design and art critic Alex Coles focusing on the relationship between light design and light art, mainly through a parallel study of Gino Sarfatti’s and Dan Flavin’s works. ______________________________________ Published with Galerie kreo, Paris.

Do we even know what contemporary art exists in Montreal? How does information about art circulate?" By way of an answer, the artistically unconventional and theoretically cutting-edge magazine Parachute was founded by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. The first significant critical reception of the work of artists such as General Idea, Jeff Wall, Stan Douglas, among many others, appeared in Parachute. Similarly, figures such as Thomas Crow, Thierry de Duve, Hal Foster, Reesa Greenberg, and Serge Guilbaut—all of whom have helped define the parameters of art history, theory, and practice—published rigorous, highly pertinent essays in the journal early on in their careers. After the two volumes entitled "Museums, Art History, and Theory" and "Performance & Performativity," the essays collected in this book focus on photography, film, video, and new media. These contemporary genres par excellence were discussed in some of the earliest volumes of Parachute. Photography received particular attention in the early 1980s, film and video later in that decade and through the beginning of the 1990s. The authors question the ontological status of photographic and moving images in relation to the other arts, their exhibition, as well as their genealogy. Discussing what were then still relatively new and overlooked artistic fields, these texts are particularly useful as signposts to how these new media and works were approached. The essays discuss works by artists such as Eija-Liisa Ahtila, James Coleman, Nan Goldin, Bill Viola, and Rodney Graham. The texts by Georges Didi-Huberman, Douglas Crimp, and Laura Mulvey, written in the early 1980s, are among their most seminal. A contemporary art historian, critic, and curator, Chantal Pontbriand co-founded Parachute in 1975 and edited its 125 issues until 2007. The anthology is an invaluable document of the changes and transformations in both art practice and writing from 1975 to 2000. The book is part of the "Documents" series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings. jrp|ringier DOCUMENTS Museum of the Future A questionnaire Program Documents Series Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences, architects constantly redesign them, and the growing number of artists is producing more massively than ever; at the same time museum funds are dwindling in the economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected is also becoming a more openly discussed topic in a globalized art world. How do curators meet these challenges? What opinion do the artists have of their relationship to the museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals, and realities? ______________________________________ Edited by Cristina Bechtler Dora Imhof ______________________________________ Authors John Baldessari Bice Curiger Chris Dercon Liam Gillick Jacques Herzog Thomas Hirschhorn Rem Koolhaas Ernesto Neto Lars Nittve Hans Ulrich Obrist ______________________________________ Edition English October 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-383-9 Softcover, 150 x 210 mm 240 pages Images 31 b/w CHF 27.5 / EUR 20 / £ 16 / US 29.95 This publication gathers together interviews with international artists, architects, and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Katharina Grosse, Yuko Hasegawa, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger, Beatrix Ruf, among others.

Interviews with Milan Grygar, Jirí Kovanda, Karel Malich, Zdenek Sýkora, and many others, map the historical events as well as unknown stories of the actors of the Czech “second avant-garde” or “neo-modernism” of the former socialist block. The artists and intellectuals of this generation were born in between 1920–1945. They lived through the 1960s cultural upheaval known as the Prague Spring, becoming part of international cultural movements for a limited time, and witnessed the “normalization” of the 1970s when censorship was re-introduced. This series of interviews contextualize a generation of Czech artists within the historical events that marked their lives and careers, and draw attention to their urgency to resist historical events while keeping their artistic practices sustained, radical, and vital. Published with tranzit.cz, this publication is a unique encounter with key artistic figures and moments of history, which created a complex landscape of artistic practices under socialism, as well as after the changes. The book is part of the Documents series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings. ______________________________________ jrp|ringier DOCUMENTS René Berger L'art vidéo Program Documents Series ______________________________________ Edited by François Bovier Adeena Mey ______________________________________ Authors René Berger ______________________________________ Edition French October 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-389-1 Softcover, 150 x 210 mm 240 pages Images 60 b/w CHF 27.5 / EUR 20 / £ 16 / US 29.95 ______________________________________ Video art history René Berger, director of the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne from 1962 to 1981, and president of the International Association of Art Critics from 1969 to 1975, is a pioneering figure in the field of the theorization of video art, which he developed in parallel to the scientific symposia he organized at the VideoArt Festival in Locarno. Challenging the importance of exhibiting art and shaking up our apprehension of art by introducing a temporal factor, Berger suggests that video participates in an effect of dislocation and relocation of the work, which he considers one of the fundamental features of installations. Borrowing tools of analysis from linguistics, cybernetics, and semiology, Berger positions video art as a practice situated at the intersection of different media, part of the development of mass-produced animated images, culminating with the explosion of technology. Berger’s reflexion on video, far from being limited to the claim of the medium’s specificity and to the promotion of its local actors (the “musketeers of the invisible” to use his well-known phrase), contributes to the renewal of the function of curator, considered as an author in their own right. This publication gathers together for the first time the most important texts that René Berger dedicated to video art, published for the most part in magazines and exhibition catalogues between 1971 and 1997. The book is part of the Documents series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings. jrp|ringier HAPAX Jens Hoffmann (Curating) From A to Z Jens Hoffmann (Curating) From A to Z Program Hapax Series ______________________________________ Program Hapax Edited Series by ______________________________________ Jens Hoffmann ______________________________________ Edited by Jens Hoffmann Authors ______________________________________ Jens Hoffmann ______________________________________ Authors Jens Hoffmann Edition ______________________________________ English December 2014 Edition ISBN: English978-3-03764-372-3 Softcover,2014 105 x 165 mm December 64 pages ISBN: 978-3-03764-372-3 Images 23 color 3 b/w Softcover, 105 x/165 mm CHF 14 / EUR 10 / £ 7 / US 15 64 pages ______________________________________ Images 23 color / 3 b/w CHF 14 / EUR 10 / £ 7 / US 15 Curating A-Z Curating A-Z "(Curating) From A to Z" offers a summary of the development of curatorial practice over the last two decades seen through the eyes of curator JensFrom Hoffmann. this publication each of the alphabet "(Curating) A to Z" In offers a summary of theletter development of evokes a particular wordthe related to the world of exhibition curatorial practice over last two decades seen throughmaking: the eyesFrom of A (as in Jens Artist)Hoffmann. and B (asIninthis Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W curator publication each letter of the alphabet (as in White Cube).

Martin ______________________________________ Edition English November 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-373-0 Hardcover, 205 x 286 mm 64 pages Images 45 color CHF 34 / EUR 25 / £ 19 / US 35 ______________________________________ First monograph This monograph on Christopher Orr is a survey of the Scottish painter’s most recent body of work. His intimately scaled canvases oscillate between reality and the uncanny, exploring the realms of the natural and supernatural, folklore and history, fiction and formalism, science and the sublime. His imagery is drawn from an extensive archive comprising vintage magazines, science textbooks, 16mm and Super 8 film stills, allowing him to produce extraordinary juxtapositions from everyday source materials. Remote figures, incongruous objects, and phantasmagoric landscapes mined from these multiple sources coalesce, as Christopher Orr assembles different epochs and narratives into surreal collages. His painting echoes different generations of Old and Modern Masters—for example J.M.W. Turner and Caspar David Friedrich—and proves his ability to give birth to solid compositions through layers of translucent pigments and varying approaches to representation. Born in Helensburgh (Scotland) in 1967, Christopher Orr studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee (Scotland), and at the Royal College of Art, London. Active since the beginning of the 2000s, he currently lives and works in London. This monograph is introduced by a foreword by Patricia Fisher, Edinburgh’s Talbot Rice Gallery curator, and contains two essays—by Max Hollein, Director of Schirn Kunsthalle, Städel Museum and Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, Frankfurt, and Colin R. Martin aka The Lonely Piper. Published with Hauser & Wirth Zurich/London/New York on the occasion of Christopher Orr’s solo exhibition at Talbot Rice Gallery (Edinburgh), opening mid-November 2014. jrp|ringier CONTEMPORARY ART Uri Aran First monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books The themes found in the work of Uri Aran (born in Israel in 1977, lives and works in New York) include the interrogation and redefinition of structures and models of communication, the material world, and interpersonal relationships. His visually idiosyncratic and disconcerting videos, drawings, assemblages, texts, and sculptures hover on the boundary between the familiar and the strange. Aran’s narratives revolve around longing, identity, home, the everyday, sentimentality, and sadness, as well as dislocation and displacement. By superimposing different temporal axes, linguistic structures, and material categories, he reconstructs, extends, and manipulates the idea of what constitutes a story, and subverts existing genres and hierarchies. In his work Aran explores humor, poetics, and the manipulation of popular objects, and triggers feelings associated with them, while simultaneously prompting viewers to doubt these objects, their relationships to them, and their own experiences. ______________________________________ Edited by Margot Heller Beatrix Ruf ______________________________________ Authors Liam Gillick Fionn Meade Beatrix Ruf ______________________________________ Edition English October 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-384-6 Hardcover, 205 x 257 mm 152 pages Images 68 color / 2 b/w CHF 38 / EUR 25 / £ 19 / US 35 ______________________________________ This is the first monograph on Uri Aran’s multifaceted work and provides a comprehensive overview of his artistic production through a detailed selection of his works, numerous installation views, newly commissioned texts by Fionn Meade and Liam Gillick, as well as an interview by Beatrix Ruf, Niels Olsen and Fredi Fischli.

Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre" was premiered in 1913 by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, with choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, and to this day it is considered the most controversial theatrical presentation of the 20th century. With its revolutionary music and choreography, the piece can be seen as one of modernism's groundbreaking moments. The ballet (in which a virgin sacrifices herself for the god of spring and dances herself to death) still fascinates visual artists today and is the most choreographed ballet ever. Exploring the ballet, its context, and its history in a wide variety of ways, this anthology also includes a rare selection of "Le Sacre" dance documentation. With contributions by Eleanor Antin, Marc Bauer, Dara Friedman, Millicent Hodson/Kenneth Archer, Karen Kilimnik, Xavier Le Roy, Marko Lulic, Royston Maldoom, Sara Masüger, Vaslav Nijinsky, Silke Otto-Knapp, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Yvonne Rainer/Babette Mangolte, Lucy Stein, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Julie Verhoeven, and Mary Wigman, among others. Published with Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich, in collaboration with the Center for Movement Research (ZfB) at Freie Universität Berlin/Gabriele Brandstetter. DESIGN Pierre Charpin 25 years of design Program Monographs & Artists’ Books French designer Pierre Charpin (b. 1962, lives in Paris) holds a singular position within his field. He became a designer after finishing his Visual Arts studies and started to gain recognition in the mid-1990s. Articulated with a strong and liberated use of colors and materials, his creations—objects, furniture and exhibition designs—deal with the notions of landscape and autonomy, humor and surprise, poetic presence and minimalism. He speaks of them in terms of “receptors” rather than “emitters,” envisaging “objects primarily as forms, and only on a second level as functional, triggering a process of projection and empathy, so others can decide what meaning to give to an object.” ______________________________________ Edited by Lionel Bovier Clément Dirié ______________________________________ Authors Alessandra Fanari Françoise Guichon Marco Romanelli ______________________________________ Edition English / French ISBN: 978-3-03764-244-3 Hardcover, 265 x 200 mm 160 pages Images 257 color CHF 50 / EUR 40 / £ 31 / US 55 ______________________________________ Creating limited-edition series in association with Galerie kreo (Paris), working with world-famous glass workshop CIRVA (Marseille) and Manufacture nationale de Sèvres porcelain studios, as well as collaborating with renowned manufacturers such as Alessi, Tectona, and Zanotta, Pierre Charpin is active in both industrial and experimental design.

MONOGRAPH/REPRINT Sterling Ruby Comprehensive monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books The multitude of media and techniques used by Sterling Ruby (*1972) in his work—ranging from sculpture to collage, installation to painting, ceramics to video and printing—reflects the issues he tackles: the conflict between individual impulses and mechanisms of social control, the coercive function of architectonic space, art as the domain of irrationality, the sphere of dysfunctional behavior, Minimalism and Art Brut, graffiti art, urban violence, desire, and pleasure. ______________________________________ Edited by Alessandro Rabottini ______________________________________ Authors Jörg Heiser Robert Hobbs Alessandro Rabottini Sterling Ruby Catherine Taft ______________________________________ Edition English ISBN: 978-3-03764-375-4 Softcover, 237 x 286 mm 168 pages Images 71 color / 4 b/w CHF 60 / EUR 40 / £ 30 / US 55 ______________________________________ His works combine memory of the past with attention to contemporary urban and popular phenomena. It is an art of expression and accumulation, of the overproduction of information and of the delirium of the senses, of neurosis and paranoia, and in which the gigantism of the shapes and their proliferation appear like a corrupt manifestation of desire, consumption, anxiety, and the need for control that characterizes contemporary occidental culture. Second edition. MONOGRAPH/REPRINT Karen Kilimnik Reference monograph Program Monographs & Artists’ Books First reference monograph devoted to the American artist (*1955) who lives and works in Philadelphia. ______________________________________ Edited by Lionel Bovier ______________________________________ Authors Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith Dominic Molon ______________________________________ Edition English September 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-385-3 Softcover, 237 x 286 mm 192 pages Images 143 color CHF 60 / EUR 40 / £ 30 / US 55 In the 1980s her narrative and jumbled installations were compared by the critics to the “scatter art” of the previous decade, but have become cult for a younger generation of artists and exhibition curators. Her drawings and paintings from the beginning of the 1990s were included in the then current discussions on art and glamour, and on the emergence of women artists whose sensibility was not that of feminist theory. The source of numerous misunderstandings, the diversity of her work has veiled the internal coherence of a practice of which the most recent pieces attest to the continuous links between all these mediums. This book offers the complete panorama of Kilimnik’s production and allows a vision that goes beyond the distinctions between painting, drawing, or installation. New and expanded edition. ______________________________________ jrp|ringier DVD Gianfranco Baruchello La Verifica Incerta Program DVDs by BDV ______________________________________ Edited by Clément Dirié ______________________________________ Authors Gianfranco Baruchello Carla Subrizi ______________________________________ Edition English/Italian October 2014 ISBN: 978-3-03764-377-8 DVD, 135 x 190 mm 24 pages CHF 38 / EUR 25 / £ 17 / US 35 ______________________________________ Avant-garde meets Cinecittà The history of the fertile but ambiguous relationship between visual arts and cinema during the 20th century is punctuated by a number of landmarks: La Verifica Incerta released in 1964 by Italian artists Gianfranco Baruchello and Alberto Griffi is one such, even if it has been overlooked for several decades. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp and supported by John Cage—the film was premiered in Paris at La Cinémathèque française and in New York at The Museum of Modern Art—La Verifica Incerta is the perfect offspring from the encounter between Cinecittà and avant-garde expression; it is also one of the very first examples of a film using found footage. An assemblage of extracts taken from 450,000 feet of footage from the 1950s purchased by the artists before their destruction, it is a schizophrenic yet ironic kaleidoscope about mass cinema and B-movies. Without any script or plot, it is an encyclopedia of leftovers, a deconstructed attempt to rediscover Hollywood, a linguistic experiment in film and montage. As art and cinema critic Carla Subrizi writes: “La Verifica Incerta questions time and movement through images, creating a system that it is not internal to the single shots but rather external: it is the process of selecting, editing, discarding, recomposing that creates a new conception of time. Rhythm, duration, stopping and starting, distance: the images are used as ready-mades and placed in a different order through montage; they abandon their original meaning and gain a different and uncanny one.” The DVD comprises the 35-minute-long film La Verifica Incerta and a recent filmed interview with Gianfranco Baruchello. It is accompanied by a booklet that contains texts by Gianfranco Baruchello and Carla Subrizi, as well as numerous documents (photographs, archive, press clippings) about the film, its production, context, and reception in and since 1964. Born in 1924, Gianfranco Baruchello lives and works in Rome, where he created the Agricola Cornelia in 1973. His practice as an artist, poet, and experimental filmmaker is now being rediscovered thanks to a series of exhibitions, and participation in Biennials and group exhibitions, as well as publications.
