Nedko Solakov: All in Order, with Exceptions

Text by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Iara Boubnova, Christy Lange.
Published by Hatje Cantz

Bulgarian artist Nedko Solakov (born 1957) is a storyteller who roots his themes in melancholic, humorous reflections on everyday life. His ambitious new installation at Ikon Gallery in the U.K. combines drawings, paintings, video and objects, and includes works made prior to 1989 (when Bulgaria was under Communist rule) alongside later pieces for which he is better known.

Valentin Carron

Edited by Lionel Bovier. Text by Andrea Bellini, Christy Lange, Fabrice Stroun.
Published by JRP|Ringier

Valentin Carron's sculptures mark a three-dimensional renewal of appropriationism, through the re-employment of vernacular forms that are neither authentic nor kitsch. His objects play with the ambiguities of fake wood, concrete and bronze, and with the iconography of power and authority in public sculptures or commemorative monuments. This volume offers an overview.

The New Décor

Edited with an introduction by Ralph Rugoff. Text by Hal Foster, Michelle Kuo, Kirsty Bell, Christy Lange, Skye Sherwin.
Published by Hayward Publishing

The New Décor gathers a range of contemporary artists whose work takes the vocabulary of interior design as a point of departure. Reconceptualizing the decoration of our everyday environments through sculpture and installation, these artists explore, and sometimes dismantle, the current attitudes and the social furniture that reveal the public dimensions of our private worlds. In French the word "décor" refers to stage and film sets as well as interior design, and in a similar spirit the works in this volume occupy an arena midway between theater and everyday life. Remapping our relationships to a variety of interior spaces, the artists contributing to this volume are Monica Bonvicini, Martin Boyce, Tom Burr, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Los Carpinteros, Jimmie Durham, Elmgreen & Dragset, Urs Fischer, Gelitin, Fabrice Gygi, Mona Hatoum, Diango Hernández, Yuichi Higashionna, Jim Lambie, Lee Bul, Sarah Lucas, Ernesto Neto, Manfred Pernice, Ugo Rondinone, Doris Salcedo, Jin Shi, Roman Signer, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Rosemarie Trockel, Tatiana Trouvé, Haegue Yang, Nicole Wermers and Franz West.

Florian Maier-Aichen

Introduction by Sérgio Mah. Text by Christy Lange.
Published by La Fábrica

German photographer Florian Maier-Aichen (born 1973) recontextualizes the Romantic Sublime of Caspar David Friedrich to account for our contemporary sense of what sublimity in landscape might be, using a fascinating and unusual combination of traditional photographic techniques and computer imaging. This monograph offers an introduction to Maier-Aichen's restless search for the Sublime, in recent images of the Californian coast and other landscapes, where swooping, serene, black-and-white aerial shots of mountainous regions sit alongside digital manipulations that add intense, hallucinatory color to natural effects. These photographs were first shown at PHotoEspaña 2008 in Madrid, and are published here for the first time. Maier-Aichen's works are in the collections of the Whitney Museum and the Saatchi Collection, and his first solo exhibit was at MoCA LA. With essays by curator Sérgio Mah and critic Christy Lange.

Published by Guggenheim Museum

During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. For these artists an exhibition can comprise a film, a novel, a shared meal, a social space, a performance or a journey. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the U.S. to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists--Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija--a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landscape of the 1990s and beyond.

Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller: The Killing Machine and Other Stories, 1995-2007

Edited by Ralf Beil, Bartomeu Marí. Text by Christy Lange, Jeanni R. Lee, Ralf Beil, Bartomeu Marí.
Published by Hatje Cantz

The Canadian artist-team Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have built up an impressive multimedia practice in which sound and voice are both material and subject. Their disorienting sound environments derive their sources from a wide spectrum of musical, literary and cinematic genres such as medieval plainsong, pulp fiction, literary fiction or film noir, transforming a walk along a street into a hallucinatory existential thriller in which visual and aural input can wildly clash or mesh. Cardiff and Miller first gained international recognition for collaborations such as "The Secret Hotel," in which participants were able to experience the atmospheres of rooms in a grand hotel, and "The Paradise Institute," a hit with visitors at the 2001 Venice Biennial, which conjured a turn-of-the-century movie theater in which the main role was played by a parallel soundtrack of noises that usually disturb audiences: whispers, coughs and rustling bags of popcorn. A concise retrospective, The Killing Machine and Other Stories 1995-2007 profiles such previous works alongside more recent ones that have never been published before. It is a comprehensive reader, containing previously unpublished written and visual material, and pertinent literature on the oeuvre of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller.
