Long celebrated for his delicate, diagrammatic box works and his writings on his close friend Marcel Duchamp, Gianfranco Baruchello (born 1924) has produced some of the most singular art of the postwar era, working since the '50s in media including painting, installation, assemblage, film, photography, writing and sound. But Baruchello has expanded his visual research far beyond traditional genres by introducing the practices of agriculture, anthropology and economics into his work, as forms of critical analysis of consumer society. This volume brings together a broad selection of experimental films and videos that the artist started producing in the early 1960s, and also features prominent contributors including Massimiliano Gioni, Philippe-Alain Michaud, Alessandro Rabottini and Carla Subrizi.
Museo Museion, from Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli (born 1971), is designed like a fictitious old guide to a museum of peculiar, striking juxtapositions: the artist's sculptural works add new features to mutilated historic pieces, while contemporary pieces are juxtaposed with trompe l'oeil reproductions of the frames of classic paintings.

The collaborative work of Ramin Haerizadeh (born 1975), Rokni Haerizadeh (born 1978) and Hesam Rahmanian (born 1980) calls for a radical redefinition of the artists' collective, encompassing the collective and individual efforts of the three artists. The first comprehensive monograph on the group, Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh, Hesam Rahmanian, details the three artists' collaborative activities since 2009, from the chaotic creative centrifuge of their shared home in Dubai to their exuberant, more-is-more exhibitions that blur the lines between their individually produced works and further expand their sphere to incorporate friends, works by other artists and spontaneous interventions. Published on the occasion of the collaborators' first institutional exhibition in Europe, Slice a Slanted Arc into Dry Paper Sky at Kunsthalle Zürich, this volume is a curated introduction to the artists' world, thought and, most importantly, their particular brand of humor.
A few years ago, independently from one another, American artists Mike Bouchet (born 1970) and Paul McCarthy (born 1945) both had made a work that transformed the Guggenheim Museum in New York into a toilet. This coincidence sparked an ongoing conversation about shared interests in the politics of art institutions and their architecture, leading up to a site-specific project for Portikus that took up these concerns in a multilayered exhibition structure involving not only the main exhibition space, but the office, the monumental attic space, the exterior of the building, the island that the institution is housed on as well as external locations within the city. The project has now culminated in an extensive publication, documenting the process and the final outcome of Powered A-Hole Spanish Donkey Sport Dick Drink Donkey Dong Dongs Sunscreen Model.
Los Angeles-based artist Paul Sietsema (born 1968) compounds organic and artificial detritus in his artwork. Using photographs and other objects that reference specific bodies of knowledge as starting points for his carefully crafted drawings and sculptures, he then films these images and objects, arranging and comparing both the physical works and the ideas, information and knowledge associated with them. Through his multistep, multimedia approach, Sietsema explores what it means to make art today, amid the barrage of images and the telescoping of past, present and future that instant access to information seems to provide. His film projects are both a consideration of time and how we apprehend it and an effort to return significance to the activity of image-making in an age of digital immediacy. This slim, clothbound hardcover is the first publication on Sietsema's film works, and includes stills from seven films accompanied by three curatorial essays.
Like musical scores, the text-based works of Los Angeles-based artist Shannon Ebner (born 1971) literalize and make visible the intervals and suspensions inherent in language. Her alphabets explore language's "other"--hovering presences like silence, nonverbal communication, misspellings, handwriting--and emphasize what written language commonly represses or takes for granted in order to function. But the mechanical processes of language break down under Ebner's close scrutiny; text and language are revealed as eminently physical, concrete manifestations of supposedly immaterial ideas. In her new artist's book, Strike, Ebner slows down the pace of reading to its zero degree--one letter, one page. With each letter looming as a monumental, monolithic symbol, Strike fosters a reading experience akin to our first decodings of the written word, when we started, as children, to learn how to do things "by the book."
I Work from Home is a survey monograph on American painter Michelle Grabner (born 1962), presenting over 100 works from the past 20 years. The chosen works range from paintings of textile patterns appropriated from household fabrics to her more abstract, metalpoint pieces.
This book documents seven installation-performances by American sculptor and photographer Corin Hewitt (born 1971), from 2007.

Artist, teacher and writer Doug Ashford (born 1958) is well known for his innovative work with the New York artist collective Group Material, which was founded in 1983 and operated until 1996. Group Material (whose other members included Julie Ault, Patrick Brennan, Beth Jaker, Mundy McLaughlin, Marybeth Nelson, Tim Rollins and Peter Szypula) pioneered forms of installation and curatorial approaches, and engaged issues around participation and historical representation. Since that time, Ashford has gone on to make paintings, write, and produce other cross-disciplinary projects. He has also been influential as a teacher, having taught design, sculpture, and theory at The Cooper Union, New York, since 1989. This publication--the first collection of his writings and conversations--represents one of the many spaces Ashford's work occupies, and attempts to encompass the evolution of the artist's thinking over the past 25 years.
Working in photography, film, sculpture, performance and installation, Los Angeles-based artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) has established himself as one of the most original artists of his generation, with works that are at once visually seductive and conceptually challenging. This book documents Lassry's solo exhibition at the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea in Milan, Italy. With an essay by Aram Moshayedi (Curator at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles) and a conversation between the artist and Jörg Heiser (co-editor of Frieze magazine), it provides an in-depth critical examination of Lassry's work from the beginning of his career to the present.

To make art in and for the public domain today is to engage with the precariousness that both defines and threatens our experience of it. OSLO PILOT (2015-17)¿a project investigating the role of art in and for the public space¿laying the groundwork for Oslo Biennial First Edition brings together 38 previously published texts spanning the past 80 years and 19 commissioned texts exploring art in public spaces and spheres. It also includes an edited transcript of the symposium, organized by OSLO PILOT in the fall of 2016, "The Giver, the Guest, and Ghost: The Presence of Art in Public Realms.¿ The publication embodies the idea of the city as a prerequisite and basis for work, and focuses on the conditions of public space as a field where many agencies, identities, and interests meet and are made visible.
This first monograph on the Brazilian mixed-media painter Paulo Nimer Pjota (born 1988) takes stock of his modern, rough palimpsests, which are testaments to the artist's collapsing of high with low, the personal with the marginal, often via the use of readymade objects that Nimer Pjota corrals in front of his wall pieces.
