Edited by Massimiliano Gioni, Margot Norton.

Tacita Dean (born 1965) has become one of Britain’s most celebrated artists, with more than 40 16mm films and a rich body of drawings, photographs and writing to her name. This volume focuses on five recent film portraits of important American artists and thinkers: Merce Cunningham, Leo Steinberg, Julie Mehretu, Claes Oldenburg and Cy Twombly.

Hans Ulrich Obrist & Tacita Dean: The Conversation Series

Volume 28

Published by Walther König, Köln

British video artist and filmmaker Tacita Dean (born 1965) is internationally admired for her patient and sensitive approach to her subject matter, explored in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist in this collection of in-depth interviews. In her Berlin studio, at a conference and on a train journey, they discuss her film portraits of architectural structures and personalities such as Merce Cunningham, Michael Hamburger, Mario Merz and Cy Twombly; her fervent collecting and reworking of analogue material--postcards, four-leaf clovers, albumen prints--and the things that have informed and influenced her artistic output over the past two and a half decades. The result is a broad and invaluable introduction to one of the most important British artists of our times, full of fascinating anecdotes and insights into her working methods and illustrated with black-and-white images of her work.

Tacita Dean: Film Works

Text by Tacita Dean, Briony Fer, Rina Carvajal.
Published by Charta/Miami Art Central

The invisible, the trace, the almost-there… British-born Tacita Dean’s 16-mm films create remarkable drama from astonishingly little visual presence. In addition to an ambient sound track, we hear the workings of the projector, we become aware of the mechanics of the film moving through the gate, we focus on processing irregularities--accidental or intentional. Published alongside her recent exhibition at Miami Art Central, this volume gathers key films together with Dean’s poetic narratives, which become discrete works in themselves when juxtaposed with the still images. In this way, Film Works reveals another facet of Dean’s output, rather than functioning entirely as a catalogue of works. The films included, which date from the 1990s to the present, are accompanied by essays by art historian and theorist Briony Fer, and Miami Art Central Chief Curator Rina Carvajal. Represented by Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, Dean received the 2006 Hugo Boss Prize.

Tacita Dean: The Green Ray

Text by Tacita Dean.
Published by Walther König, Köln

The green ray is an optical phenomenon that occurs during the last moment of the sun's setting. Rarely seen from land, and then only when the horizon over the sea is 100% clear, it appears here, on a few pages of a flip-book which documents an entire sunset in Madagascar. The stills are taken from Tacita Dean's 2001 video “Green Ray on Madagascar.”
