"Published on the occasion of the exhibition David Ireland at Karsten Schubert, London, 2 June-25 July 2008"--Colophon.

British sculptor Alison Wilding's work explores inherent contrasts through her innovative approach to material. Using her recent work as a starting point, this volume provides a retrospective on the artist's varied career. Wilding's sculptures often consist of two separate elements - which suggest opposites such as positive/negative, male/female, light/dark - through bringing together a range of different materials. With a special focus on recent works Tracking (2007) and Vanish & Detail (2004), this beautifully illustrated catalogue shows the subtle surfaces and shifts in scale seen within the artist's work. Accompanying full-colour illustrations, texts by poet and curator Rod Mengham, artist Sam Porrit and critic Judy Collins explore different aspects of Wilding's sculptures and their relation to changes within sculptural practice during late 1980s Britain.

Bringing together over 700 pages of drawings and collages, this unique publication immerses the reader in Matt Mullican's creative process by reflecting the 'person' that emerges during his self-induced hypnotic states. 'That person's work' has developed out of Mullican's hypnosis performances (1977-present) and, more recently, photography, drawing and object-making that he has created during a trance state. The artist has described the person that emerges during these performances as 'a sensual, impulsive, almost hedonistic individual with a highly developed sense of humour and theatre, lying somewhere between schizophrenia and autism.' That Person's Workbook is an artist project made by 'that person', acting like a 'talisman' for a world in which that person exists. Accompanying extensive full-colour illustrations, an essay by Ulrigh Wilmes and an interview with the artist by Vicente de Moura explore the importance of hypnosis and imagination in Mullican's work.

Renowned for his sculptural installations and video works that push everyday objects and situations to absurd ends, Roman Signer's latest commission uses the kayak - a longstanding symbol and form in his work for three decades. Accompanying Signer's exhibition in the Curve, Barbican, London (4 March-31 May 2015), this volume documents the transformative quality of the artist's playful and surreal approach. Specifically made for the installation, the kayak moves through the Curve towed by a rope suspended from the ceiling, navigating the 90-metre long gallery as if moving through a canal. Accompanying installation views, related work and an interview with the artist by David Signer, an essay by Rachel Withers explores the multiple facets of his innovative practice through his on-going interest in this object. This title inaugurates a new publication series by Barbican Art Gallery and Ridinghouse that focuses on the Curve exhibition programme.

Combining a highly expressive graphic style and a deep sensitivity to colour, Ernst Wilhelm Nay's intense painting is surveyed in this first English-language overview of his varied life and career. For Ernst Wilhelm Nay (1902-68), painting was an entrance to a world beyond the visible, a world more real and more vital that lay beneath the surface of appearances. Beginning his career as the chaotic years of the Weimar Republic became the dark years of the Third Reich, it was natural that he should look to art for an alternative reality. One of Germany's most important abstract painters, this fully illustrated publication offers a fresh approach to the Nay's work. This comprehensive monograph is accompanied by an overview of his life and work by John-Paul Stonard and in-depth history of Nay's reception in Britain and the United States by Dr Pamela Kort, and a foreword by Sir Norman Rosenthal.
