Adel Abdessemed: Works 1988–2015Adel Abdessemed: Works 1988–2015

Published by Koenig Books.
Foreword by Pier Luigi Tazzi. Introduction by Nicolas Schwed. Text by Hans Belting, Giovanni Careri, Julia Kristeva, Tom McDonough, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Jacques Rancière, et al.

Working in sculpture, installation and video with powerful, often brutal images and materials, French-Algerian conceptual artist Adel Abdessemed (born 1971) has created one of the most energetic political oeuvres of recent times. A "pitiless young festivalist," as the New Yorker described him in 2009, Abdessemed imparts a raw euphoria to his sculptural works, which have included the crushed fuselage of a commander jet and a terracotta model of an overturned car he found on fire in the street.

This extraordinary three-volume publication constitutes the first comprehensive overview of his work. Bringing together over 1,300 images of his works, it includes commentary by leading art historians Giovanni Careri, Angela Mengoni and Pier Luigi Tazzi, and essays on the artist’s work by some of the world’s most seminal thinkers, such as Hans Belting, Julia Kristeva, Philippe-Alain Michaud and Jacques Rancière.

Adel Abdessemed: Conversation with Pier Luigi TazziAdel Abdessemed: Conversation with Pier Luigi Tazzi

Published by Actes Sud.
Preface by Donatien Grau.

Adel Abdessemed (born 1971) has been a major figure in contemporary art since he entered the international creative world in the early 2000s. In 2012, after recent exhibitions in Nagoya, Venice, London, Tel Aviv, Berlin and New York, his work is featured in a large exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Well known for his ability to produce images generally considered violent, Abdessemed appeals to the viewer’s immediate reactions. In conversation with Italian art critic Pier Luigi Tazzi, Abdessemed explains the personal and creative background to his work. As he retraces his artistic journey, its major phases and his major works, his remarks extend beyond the framework of art to address the fundamental issues of life itself. This text, filled with passion and humor, explores the perspective of a prominent contemporary artist, and deals with all aspects of artistic creation.

Text by Larys Frogier.

Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed (born 1971) expands the parameters of his studio into the city streets. He has filmed wild boars loose in Paris and a stray cat devouring a mouse in Berlin. Of these public "acts," a term he prefers for its political implications, he has said: "I use passion and rage. Nothing else. I don't do illusions."

Adel Abdessemed: À L'attaqueAdel Abdessemed: À L'attaque

Published by JRP|Ringier.
Edited by Caroline Bourgeois. Text by Philippe-Alain Michaud, Larys Frogier, Elisabeth Lebovici.

Adel Abdessemed was born in 1971 in Constantine, Algeria. He left North Africa in the 1990s as a political migrant, and eventually his travels brought him to the P.S.1 International Studio Program, where he showed in Uniforms: Order and Disorder in 2001. Then September 11 came along. In its aftermath, Abdessemed found he couldn't make a home in the U.S. He was the subject of suspicion; it was "unlivable." He has since settled in Paris, but he hasn't left September 11 behind: his Fire Space includes a baggage cart full of burnt wood, and Habibi is a gigantic human skeleton, flying, Superman-style, arms outstretched--a cinematic, larger-than-life angel of the apocalypse. Beyond P.S.1, Abdessemed's work has been seen at the 2003 Venice Biennale and at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris. This is his first monograph.
