Although the Californian conceptual artist Robert Kinmont's work dates back to the late 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, this is the first monograph ever. Kinmont is primarily concerned with his environment, the Californian landscape. He works with simple, mostly natural materials, and places them in relation to his body and his life. Probably his best known work, entitled 8 Natural Handstands (1969/2005), a series of photographs showing the artist doing handstands in abandoned landscapes, on the edges of cliffs, river beds, forests and deserts, was illustrated in Lucy Lippard's famous book Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972. Not so long afterwards, Kinmont retreated from art practice for the following three decades. Recent solo exhibitions in Glarus and Bremen have been the occasion for a long overdue publication. Kinmont is back. With texts by Alexandra Blättler, Stefanie Böttcher, Robert Kinmont, Aoife Rosenmeyer, Sabine Rusterholz Petko

Published in coordination with the first solo show by Matthew Brannon in an Italian art institution, the catalogue 'In Italy It's Called "Department Store At Night" The Rest Of The World Knows It As "Postcards & Death Certificates" is organised as two independent volumes contraining an unpublished novel by the American writer 'Antelope' an essay by Alan Reid in the form of a set of "imaginary" letters sent to Brannon himself, "Unanswered Letters," and a critical text by the curator of the exhibition and co-editor of the catalogue Alberto Salvadori.

Grand Illusion is a photographic series of screenshots from Google Cultural Institute's "Museum View" of Baroque European palaces-objects of beauty and manifestations of power whose gold encrusted ornamentation points to the colonial activities abroad that made this kind of wealth possible. While the monarchies and empires of the past used beauty as an expression of their authority, technology, in its mediation of the world, often operates without an aesthetic agenda. Throughout this series, the covert power of technology makes itself visible only through accidents such as glitches, a glimpse of the machine in the mirror, the AI blurring the faces of statuary.

Benoit Pieron: Slumber Party is the first book by the French artist, published on the occasion of his 2023 commission at Chisenhale Gallery, London. Continuing his practice of applying a vital softness to the hard spaces of the hospital, this new publication is inspired in both form and content by waiting room magazines as a site of intervention and diversion. Installation views accompany a visual essay by Pieron documenting the processes behind the commission. A series of activities have been devised by artists ClayAD, Paul Maheke, Roxanne Maillet and Pieron. Each invites the reader to either draw on or rip out pages to help pass the time; making and remaking the book anew for each reader. The book considers how to transform the often stale or distressing atmosphere of a medical waiting room with a sense of possibility and renewed imagination. These activities are accompanied by texts from Chisenhale Gallery's Director Zoé Whitley, the exhibition's curator Oliva Aherne, and ClayAD, as well as a conversation between Piéron and artist Paul Maheke that traverses subjects from the fallibility of healthcare and the work of Félix González-Torres, to the allure of vampires and soft toys. This publication is made possible through the generous support of Lead Supporter, Fondation Pernod Ricard, and Headline Supporters, Fluxus Art Projects and The Clare McKeon Charitable Trust with additional thanks to the Chisenhale Gallery Publishing Supporters' Circle, and Galerie Sultana.

Inverting the "voiceover" cliche, Bergsmark advocates for a new approach to filmmaking in both theory and practiceSwedish film director, artist and researcher Ester M.

A meditation on inspiration and progression: Dorazio reinterprets Balla, 50 years laterTitled after a collection of poems by Giuseppe Ungaretti, Dove la luce is a visual exploration of the affinity between two great Italian painters of the 20th century: Giacomo Balla (1871-1958), master of Futurism, and Piero Dorazio (1927-2005), whose "grids" of 1960 were inspired by the former's Iridescent Interpenetrations of 1912.

Malleable, soft materials, together with their "shells," form Ahlers' approach to cultural sciences and gender politics Within her practice, German artist Daphne Ahlers (born 1986) works with the concepts of "soft sculpture" and "shell sculpture."
