Moving between representation and abstraction, referencing design and embracing the decorative, British artist Tim Braden's work is a celebration of the act of making things. His paintings evolve from historical anecdotes surrounding twentieth-century artists and designers such as Sonia Delaunay and painter-turned-modernist-landscape-architect Roberto Burle Marx.Braden plays with scale and expectation, creating "found" abstract compositions from cropped fragments of his own figurative paintings that are realised as oversized watercolour paintings on canvas, or small oil sketches on card. Painterly themes like the interior and the landscape are key motifs in his work, as well as depictions of the experience of looking at art in situ.Assembling a body of work produced over the last decade, and drawing together the many themes and styles of his work, Looking and Painting is the first monograph on Braden in ten years. The book brings together, for the first time, many paintings that have never been shown in public.Tim Braden: Looking and Painting includes a response to Braden's work by Jennifer Higgie, editor of Frieze magazine, and contributions by Christopher Bedford, director of the Baltimore Museum of Fine Art, and Dominic Molon, curator at Rhode Island School of Design Museum.Braden has exhibited widely, including at Baibakov Art Projects, Moscow; Gemeente Museum, The Hague; Hamburger Bahnhof at Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo; Museum Van Loon, Amsterdam; the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; and the Goethe Institute, New York. He lives and works in London.

Based on the history of the Peckham Pioneer Centre, the research conducted there and its subsequent conversion into a gated community, Correspondence O expresses the complex and changing landscape of public health and the social shift away from a group mindset to a more egocentric, user-focused and technology infused understanding of wellness. Accompanying the film of the same name by artist Ilona Sagar, Correspondence O is a new publication, bringing together an arrangement of original text by the artist, intertwined with a rich range of never before seen archival material drawn from the Wellcome Trust, RIBA and Pioneer Health Foundation archives.The Peckham Experiment was at the forefront of a dramatic shift in the public perception of health, yet its significance has been historically overlooked. George Scott Williamson and Innes Hope Pearse established it privately in 1928, before the foundation of the NHS in 1948, building it around principles of self-organisation, local empowerment and a holistic focus on social connection as fundamental to health. The learning from the Peckham Experiment is as relevant today as it was then. This is not though, simply an historical account. Correspondence O is a darkly speculative publication and film that examines modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of our obsession with personal wellbeing and new wearable technologies. This timely work is the result of in-depth research and experimental collaborations with a number of different practitioners and institutions, and features newly commissioned writings by Owen Hatherley, Dr. Felicity Thomas, Nina Wakeford and Prof. Paul Fletcher.Ilona Sagar's solo exhibition Correspondence O will launch at South London Gallery in December 2017, produced by The Ballad of Peckham Rye in partnership with the South London Gallery and supported by The Wellcome Trust.

Saturated with rhythm-generating patterns and inherently directional shapes, the work of British abstract painter Jeremy Moon (1934-1973) subverts the static quality of painting with its formations of perceptible movement. Best known for his large scale geometric paintings that explore form and space through unmodulated planes of colour, Moon embraced imperfection and incorporated subtle asymmetries to deliberately destabilise the unity of his compositions, further challenging the austerity associated with geometric abstraction. Jeremy Moon: Free Flight traces the artist's short, yet prolific career from his emergence onto the London art scene in the early 1960s. Alongside critical texts and interviews, this title features an overview of Moon's preparatory drawings, paintings and sculptures, as well as facsimiles of archive materials from the artist's estate.Moon's hand-drawn inventory of completed paintings and sculptures reveals the importance of drawings as integral components to his artistic process, and as the start and end points in which his experimental ideas took their purest form.

Easy to follow, beautifully illustrated collection of hands-on sculptural activities for children.

"As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both. As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless." Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3, Verses 18-19. What does it mean to be human? Unlike animals, who have little to no consciousness of their own existence or the inevitability of death, humans are painfully conscious of themselves, the limits of life, and the emptiness that lies ahead. Becoming Animal explores the existential nature of human experience through a rich survey of major modern and postmodern artworks in a visually and critically ambitious cross-section of twentieth- and twenty-first century art. This investigation builds from a literary and philosophical framework that addresses the development of consciousness and self-awareness. Through a series of apparently irreconcilable artistically and politically divergent movements, empty transcendence is confronted by the enduring concepts of eternity and utopia. In particular, Symbolism and Minimalism are juxtaposed; art movements that shaped the nineteenth and twentieth centuries' exploration of the relationship between life and death, emptiness and meaning, with their specific artistic languages. Featuring artists such as Carl Andre, Francisco de Goya, Albert Oehlen, Gardar Eide Einarsson and Matias Faldbakken, Becoming Animal also includes essays from international thinkers on emptiness and transcendence in modern and contemporary art, including Giorgio Agamben, Claus Carstensen, Anne Gregersen and Rosalind Krauss. Becoming Animal coincides with an exhibition produced by a collaboration between Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Religious Art, Norsk Museum and Svensk Museum, which will run from spring 2018 to autumn 2019.

Kitaj: The Architects profiles an artist at work from a unique and very personal perspective. The book collects the diary entries of Kitaj s subjects through each sitting season, from the first preliminary sketches to the final delivery of the painting in late 1981. Providing an insightful and telling insight into Kitaj s artistic method, Colin St John Wilson and his wife MJ Long s observations capture the creative process through the explorations of initial ideas, happy accidents, compositional struggles and dissatisfactions, to the finished artifact. Fragmentary traces of conversations within the entries bring the relationships between artist and models to life, providing telling glimpses into the artist s thinking of the work and how he positioned it with regards to art history in his mind. Photographs of the canvas from various stages of the painting capture the gradual build up of layers, the subtle shifts in composition and Kitaj s refinements of his subject s characteristic poses.
