JEFFREY VALLANCE
Blinky
The 30th anniversary reissue of a book dedicated to the “billions of hens sacrificed each year for our consumption,” Blinky was the quintessential conceptual artwork of the 1970s – and is equally relevant now, with the current focus on humane treatment of animals we eat. Blinky is the seriocomic brainchild of artist Jeffrey Vallance: the artist took a raw chicken purchased at a supermarket to the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery and arranged a funeral service and burial (complete with open casket viewing) as if it were a beloved pet. All is documented with Vallance’s straightforward narrative and simple black-and-white photos. Includes a DVD documenting the project. Not a storybook for the kiddies.

ALISON WILDING
Tracking
A beautifully illustrated retrospective look at the sculptures of Turner Prize-winning artist Alison Wilding, with a special focus on very recent works Vanish and Detail and Tracking. Wilding belongs to a generation of sculptors whose work was seen, in the early 1980s, as being a notable departure from earlier practice. Her sculptures often consist of two separate elements, which suggest opposites such as positivenegative, male-female, light-dark. She sets up those contrasts with a wide range of different materials, including copper, wood, beeswax, lead, galvanized steel, transparent plastics, silk, fossils, rubber and paints. With essays by poet and curator Rod Mengham, artist Sam Porrit and critic Judy Collins.
