The Fundacin Cisneros Conversaciones/Conversations series is dedicated to preservingfirsthand testimonies of leading artists and intellectuals from Latin America. Argentinian artistLiliana Porter has lived and worked in New York since 1964; her work has been exhibitedinternationally and is represented in many public and private collections. Using a wide range ofmedia--including sculpture, printmaking, works on canvas, photography, video and installation--Porter playfully mixes the absurd with the philosophical to create extraordinary portrayals ofeveryday scenes and plights. In this, the seventh volume of the Conversaciones series, Porter isin dialogue with art historian and critic Ins Katzenstein. She describes with simplicity and humorthe ways in which her work blends the real with the representational, often in hypothetical yetconvincing mini-dramas using mass-produced, kitsch objects that elicit both our compassion andlaughter.

Surface Tension Supplement No. 6 - Unsitely Aesthetics: Uncertain Practices InContemporary ArtErrant Bodies 2013 ISBN 9780982743980 Acqn 22131Pb 17x23cm 292pp 65ills 16.50
Unsitely Aesthetics seeks to address the unconventional ways in which contemporary art is madeand engaged with across the vastly expanded networks of new media culture, arguing--counterintuitively--that network culture not only embodies its own version of situatedness butcan also lead to the creation of a more democratic art, with the Internet acting as a far broader
public space than the traditional site-specificity of old, a space in which artists can encounter andperhaps even engender new publics for their work. The book aims to theorize current dynamics inmedia and sound art practice, and includes interviews and conversations with Barbara Campbell,Linda Carroli, Hugh Davies, Bec Dean, Renate Ferro, John Craig Freeman, Jo-Anne Green, TeriHoskin, Lucas Ihlein, Yao Jui-Chung, kanarinka (a.k.a. Catherine DIgnazio), Scott Kildall,Deborah Kelly, Natalie Loveless, Michael Takeo Magruder, Timothy Conway Murray, NorieNeumark, Victoria Scott, Brooke Singer, Igor tromajer, Helen Thorington and Darren Tofts.

Inspired by death metal bands from the United States and Europe that toured in Mexico to greatpopularity in the 1980s, the group Semefo began its trajectory in a similar vein. Concert flyers,album covers and performances reflected this macabre aesthetic. While their music was acathartic and provocative element, Semefo expanded activities to include multidisciplinary eventsaddressing violence and taboo subjects, combining visual arts, performance and theatre. Heirs ofa tradition dealing with the representation of death, their materials range from road kill to humancorpses. With detailed interviews, essays and images, this anthology of Semefo is not for thetimid.

With contributions by Will Bradley, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Carl Cedarstrm and Peter Fleming,Annette Kamp, Michala Paludan, Olivia Plender and Hester Reeve, Ole Martin Rnning and KathiWeeks.
Living Laborconsiders the increasing subordination of life to work. Despite economic instability,growing income gaps across countries and the rise of a migratory, flexible and underpaid laborforce, our commitment to productivity is unflagging. Today, work enlists us to psychologicallyinvest ourselves in a boundaryless work life, which seeks to instrumentalize all of our wakinghours. In response to the eroding boundaries between work and life, and against the historicbackdrop of the Scandinavian labor movement, the writers gathered in Living Laborproposeviable forms of refusal and imagine prospects for a post-work future.

Denes Farkas - Evident In AdvanceSternberg Press 2013 ISBN 9783943365627 Acqn 22629Pb 16x26cm 196pp 144ills 18.95
With texts by Adriana Cavarero, Maurice Blanchot, Bruce Duffy, Markus Miessen, DanieleMonticelliEdited by Adam Budak
If I dont trust this evidence why should I trust any evidence?" Wittgenstein asked himself in "OnCertainty." Dnes Farkass work is haunted by a drama of not delivering a trust to a singularevidence ofthis world: a world as he found it. Hysterically reproduced paper maquettes ofchoreographed architecture, imprisoned within a clumsy, photographic frame, are abstractshelters for imagined and unspoken texts. Words are characters in performance of a world as atext.
As a proposition, Farkas exhibition and publication for the Estonian Pavilion of the 55th VeniceBiennale in 2013 is "an absent book" and yet "the book to come." The installation is a piece ofspatial, rhythmical writing; a quintet of interiors woven of autonomous though intertwined, poeticfragments of quasi-domestic setting: a library, a garden, an absent cinema, a spatial book, anobsession chamber (a locus of deranged architect and non-writer). "A story? No. No stories,never again," Farkas repeats after Maurice Blanchot, while rehearsing his art of ultimate denialand rejection.

Amalia PicaMuseum Of Contemporary Art Chicago 2013 ISBN 9781938922114 Acqn 22080Hb 20x26cm 116pp 60col ills 22.50
This volume accompanies the first major solo museum exhibition in the United States of the workof Argentinean-born, London-based artist Amalia Pica (born 1978). Pica explores metaphor,communication and civic participation through drawings, sculptures, large-scale photographicprints, slide projections, live performances and installations. Using simple materials such asphotocopies, lightbulbs, drinking glasses, beer bottles, bunting and cardboard, Pica creates workthat is both formally beautiful and conceptually rigorous. Pica is particularly interested in the limitsand failures of language and human communication, and the ways in which thought translates toaction, idea to object. Her work is optimistic in its reflection of moments of shared experience,
often incorporating signifiers of celebration and communal gatherings such as fiesta lights, flagsand banners, and confetti.Amalia Pica is the fourth volume in MCA Chicagos MCA Monographsseries and features essays by writer Ana Teixeira Pinto and writer and curator Tirdad Zolghadr aswell as an interview with the artist and exhibition co-organizers MIT List Curator Joo Ribas andMCA Pamela Alper Curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm.

Glamour Is Theft - A User's Guide To General Idea. Vol. 1: 1969-1978Art Gallery York University 2013 ISBN 9780921972662 Acqn 22115Hb 20x26cm 256pp 80ills 3col 30
From its origins in the mail art movement through to its destruction ofThe 1984 Miss GeneralIdea Pavillion in 1977, the Canadian collective General Idea constructed a comprehensive bodyof work as a performative fiction. Glamour Is Theftexamines this pageantry of camp parodythrough the logic of its mythic system. The book reconstructs this system from statements thatwere dispersed and disguised within General Ideas work and writing as a whole, including thepublication FILE Magazine. In General Ideas system, there is one concept: Glamour; oneoperation: reversibility; one technique: cut-up; one strategy: theft; one tactic: camouflage.Following the collectives strategies, the book in turn mimics the language of structuralist andsemiological publications of the 1970s while also considering the influences of Roland Barthes,William Burroughs, Guy Debord, Claude Lvi-Strauss and Marshall McLuhan on General Ideaswork.
