Book Description
During the 1960s and 1970s, the Russian conceptual artist Ilya Kabakov was a galvanizing figure in Moscow's underground art community, ultimately gaining international prominence as the “leader” of a band of artists known as the Moscow Conceptual Circle. Throughout this time, he created texts that he would distribute among his friends, and by the late 1990s his written production amounted to hundreds of pages. Devoted to themes that range from the “cosmism” of pre-Revolutionary Russian modernism to the philosophical implications of Moscow’s garbage, Kabakov’s handmade booklets were typed out on paper, then stapled or sewn together using rough butcher paper for their covers. Among these writings are faux Socialist Realist verses, theoretical explorations, art historical analyses, accompaniments to installation projects, and transcripts of dialogues between the artist and literary theorists, critics, journalists, and other artists. This volume offers for the first time in English the most significant texts written by Kabakov. The writings have been expressly selected for this English-language volume and there exists no equivalent work in any language.

Book Description
The evolution of the close bond between the visual arts and opera starting from the nineteenth century up to the early twenty-first century. The intertwining of visual and musical arts at the beginning of the 20th century led to modernism, abstraction and in music, atonality. This meeting of the arts was never so intense as on the operatic stage. In her book Painting the Stage, curator and art and music critic Denise Wendel-Poray first examines historic productions beginning with Schinkel's iconic stage design for Mozart's Magic Flute, before exploring those of the 20th century with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes and the implication of avant-garde artists in opera up until World War II. Directly after the armistice of 1945, famous artists such as André Derain, Balthus, Dalí, André Masson, and Kokoschka reopened the theaters amidst ruins, thus ushering in a new era of optimism. The event of pop art, happenings, and experimental theatre with the collaboration of artists Robert Indiana, David Hockney, Robert Wilson brought on further developments in the realm of opera. Finally, interviews with world famous artists such as Anselm Kiefer, William Kentridge, Bill Viola, Robert Longo, Jonathan Meese, and Daniel Richter show how their contribution to the genre is making opera today more than ever a form of "total art" or "Gesamtkunstwerk" and a hotbed of contemporary creation.

Book Description
The exhibition catalogue "Gina Osterloh: Mirror Shadow Shape" will accompany an exhibition of thesame name at the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio. This catalogue will be the first full monograph and survey of artist Gina Osterloh's work. Osterloh, a Filipino-American artist, uses photography to mine her own history to pose questions about identity that are both intellectually and aesthetically compelling to wider audiences. Both the exhibition and its catalogue focus on the cogent development of ideas set forth by Osterloh in photographic series that span a period of fifteen years (2005-2020). Osterloh's practice is unique for how it has seamlessly blended photography, film, performance, anddrawing-creating a sustained engagement with a rigorous set of questions across radically differentmanifestations. The series Osterloh has made throughout her career to date have unfolded like a series ofpropositions. Her early work with photographic tableaus quite literally set the stage for what would become a fixation with abstraction: figures flatten into silhouettes whose forms are covered by the same patternedbackdrops into which they are set; bodies are emptied of viscera and filled with paper; and heads are turneddown and away from the camera, becoming faceless portraits. While these works challenge photographicconventions, however, they also engage self-reflexively with the medium's history. The catalogue will be richly illustrated with full color plates and include a foreword by Tyler Cann,Director of Exhibitions and Pizzuti Family Curator of Contemporary Art of the Columbus Museum of Art; anintroductory essay by Anna Lee, the exhibition curator; an academic essay by art historian Ellen Tani; anartist conversation/interview between Osterloh and artist Sheilah ReStack; and chronology with key works,concepts, and events in Osterloh's career.

Book Description
Ilya Kabakov (*1933) is one of the former Soviet Union?s most important and influential international artists today. After the two-volume catalogue raisonné of paintings (2008) and 2017?s catalogue raisonné of installations, we are now publishing a complete overview of Kabakov?s recent paintings.0Different ideas, phases, and styles unfold across the 350 works of art, but the artist?s inimitable signature can always be recognized. Visual themes include, for example, the color white, the relationship between complete and incomplete, and the combination of either various styles or of painting and photography. Still, all of the pieces have one thing in common: they all pursue a conceptual approach and make references to art history.
