Gest

Laboratory of Synthesis (Vol.#1)

Robert Garnett and Andrew HUnt

Editors Robert Garnett and Andrew Hunt bring together philosophers, artists, theorists, and critics to discuss new approaches to art writing. Intending to inhabit the widening gap between mainstream art magazines and academic journals, Garnett and Hunt aim to create new conjunctions and productive disjunctions between theory and practice, from which new voices and new modes of writing can emerge. Gest is the first of three planned books, each of which will be launched as part of a series of events and exhibitions held in a variety of contexts, from art schools to international exhibitions and art fairs. Contributors include: Eric Alliez, Kai Althoff, Claire Bishop, Jake Chapman, Steven Claydon, Thierry de Duve, Sue Golding, Hal Foster, Dan Fox, Peter Osborne, Simon O’Sulivan, Lane Releya, Ralph Rugoff, John Russell, Jerry Saltz, Dirk Snauwirt, Frances Stark. Part of Book Works Fabrications Series.

IKA HUBER

Coelin

Rudi Fuchs says that if Ika Huber’s pictures had a voice, it would be a whisper. Indeed, the German painter’s compositions are bold in form and conception, but soft as a pillow on the canvas, showcasing supple and elegant brush strokes in muted, subdued color. Instead of overwhelming the viewer with explosive hues and eruptive imagery, Huber’s focused paintings attract attention to how they were made or how they evolved through the creative process, bringing to mind influences from Rothko to Monet. With an eloquent forward by Fuchs, this large-format hardcover volume is a bibliography of Huber’s early and recent work in full color.
