William Cobbing : Social Substance

from 

Starting with William Cobbing’s solo exhibition Social Substance for the British Ceramics Biennial at AirSpace, this book explores his practice and the social materiality of clay, with new texts by Jennifer Lucy Allan, Petra Lange-Berndt, Darren Pih, Francis Ponge’s ‘Unfinished Ode to Mud’ and a conversation with Clare Twomey.

Cobbing’s sculptures and videos involve a playful interaction between people immersed in mounds of formless clay. Stories are told with the earthy substance through the puckered expression of a glazed ceramic face, or the ASMR sensation of fingers squelching clay on a digital screen. Clay connects people, extending body boundaries and merging them with each other and the landscape. The material is a character in these slapstick encounters, being an equal player rather than a passive subject to the creative process. The slimy mass sticks to the performers’ heads and hands, simultaneously attractive and repulsive, engendering a conflicting set of emotions. cobbing

Agnieszka Kurant Collective Intelligence

from

Collective Intelligence is an innovative monograph that documents the last ten years of Polish-born conceptual artist Agnieszka Kurant’s interdisciplinary practice. It includes newly commissioned texts by renowned thinkers in science, philosophy, art, technology, anthropology, and economics.

Kurant’s experimental work investigates collective and nonhuman intelligences and their impact on transformations of the human, the future of labor and creativity, and the exploitations within digital capitalism. Questioning the ideology of individualism, Kurant proposes that we rethink human and more-than-human worlds from a perspective of plural subjectivity, and, through this fundamental shift in perspective, posits the possibility of alternative political imaginaries. Her work probes the replacement of individual authorship with collective intelligence—a phenomenon observed in slime molds, termite colonies, social movements, cities, the internet, and inside our brains.

In her collaborative practice, the artist investigates artificial intelligence, emergence, cybernetics, automation, artificial life, mining industries, and energy circuits to explore our collective evolution and the shifting status of objects in relation to agency, value, circulation, and redistribution. Through crowdsourcing the production of her artworks to thousands of humans and nonhumans, Kurant creates unstable, hybrid forms that constantly evolve. Her works, oscillating between biological, digital, and geological, embody the crumbling distinctions between what is natural and artificial, real and synthetic, and life and nonlife.

Nicolas Trembley : Craft

About Exhibitions, Craft, Art, Cultural Hierarchies, Typologies and the Art of Display

from .8.books

Swiss curator Nicolas Trembley has organized many projects challenging expectations on arts and crafts. In the book, Craft, published by After 8 Books, he offers an insightful, unconventional and generous reflection on the exchanges between arts, crafts, and design – questioning along the way arbitrary divisions between the head and the hand, practice and theory, craftsman and artist.
Discussing with fellow curator Véronique Bacchetta his own curatorial methods and meditating on the power of display, Trembley unfolds his research on Japanese folk art, as well as his collaborations with various artists.
As he comments on the groundbreaking approach of curators such as Georges Henri Rivière, Sōetsu Yanagi, or Lina Bo Bardi, and evokes landmarks in the history of exhibition making – from curiosity cabinets to world fairs, to ethnographic dioramas, window displays, and experiments by contemporary artists – Trembley argues against pre-established hierarchies, for a more complex approach to objects, cultures, and forms.
With a wide range of illustrations, exhibition photographs, pictures from the author’s library, and historical documents cogently organized in Norm’s book design, Craft further reads as a stimulating visual essay on the exhibition form.

Stitching the Intifada - Embroidery and Resistance in Palestine
by Rachel Dedman

from

Tatreez - elaborate hand-embroidery - is an ancient Palestinian craft characterised by remarkable beauty and complexity. Beginning with an introduction to the regional diversity of historic Palestinian dress, Rachel Dedman traces the politicisation of embroidery after the Nakba of 1948. From its evolution into a symbol of the nation, to its powerful presence during the First Intifada, and reimagination by contemporary artists, tatreez in Palestine embodies many forms of personal and public resistance.

Proceeds from this book will be donated to the Palestine Red Crescent Society , whose mission is to provide humanitarian assistance as well as health and social services to Palestinians whenever and wherever needed.

SHEILA HICKS

from



"What can you do with a thread?"

Carpets, reliefs, sculptures, installations - the catalogue provides an overview of the works of Sheila Hicks, one of the most influential contemporary textile artists, from 1955 to the present day.

Sheila Hicks‘ unique oeuvre unfolds in the interplay between material, colour and space: In her wall works, tapestries, reliefs, sculptures, and installations, the seemingly infinite possibilities of these three dimensions unfurl. „What can you do with thread?“ is the question that the artist has tirelessly explored since studying with Josef Albers in the 1950s. Throughout her career, she has explored a wide spectrum of techniques that constantly challenge and surprise our perception and our concepts of art and textile, colour and structure, work, and space.

Planetary Realism - Art Against Apocalypse

by Josephine Berry

from 

Traditions of realism are brought together with the decolonial and ecological concept of "planetarity" to understand a new realism in contemporary art.

 The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old "realist" tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society's divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see-and feel-the planet?

Surveying a body of planet-facing art, communal practices, and activism, Josephine Berry investigates art's power to break with capitalist realism and decarbonize the imagination. With chapters on feeling as world-making, the rupture of petroleum landscapes, artists' urban exodus, and migration as survival, Planetary Realism delves deeply into art's necessary reimagining of life on Earth.
