Re/Form

Milan / New York / Chicago, Skira / Graham Foudation/ Noguchi Museum, 2021. Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Printed paper boards in a line patterned mylar jacket. Red end papers. 138 pages : color illustrations ; 33 cm. "In an ambitious new monograph, Kenyan-born, Chicago-based Canadian artist Brendan Fernandes (born 1979) chronicles his two most recent exhibitions, Contract and Release at the Noguchi Museum (2019) and Master and Form commissioned by the Graham Foundation for the 2019 Whitney Biennial. These performance-based installations feature live dancers interacting with Noguchi's colorful, unstable sculptures and a collection of architectural steel cages resembling ballet barres. The objects in both exhibitions act as training devices and physical constraints, both aiding and encumbering the dancers, and encouraging poses that test their endurance in overt displays of physical tension and self-control. The work engages with notions of discipline and mastery, pain and pleasure, and aims to disrupt and consolidate ballet and modern dance traditions. Alongside documentation of the performances, this book includes insight into Fernandes' work with texts by Juliet Bellow, Andrew Campbell, Hendrik Folkerts and Dakin Hart." --Amazon.com. VG. Jacket has a few small bumps along top edge and shelfwear, but otherwise clean and unmarked.

Riopelle

Riopelle the Call of Northern Landscapes and Indigenous Cultures

Milan, Italy, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Hardcover. Hardcover in blue with spot varnished tile and BW reproductions on front and reverse. 285 pp, generously illustrated with color reproductions. This book, published to accompany the exhibition of the same title, explores Jean-Paul Riopelle's interest in northern Canada and his works devoted to this theme. It highlights in particular the paintings he made in the 1970s, including both the works themselves and archival materials that delve into this period. Both the northern Canadian landscape and the indigenous peoples he encountered were sources of inspiration for him. The more than 100 works included in the book (paintings, sculptures, prints, and mixed-media works) are part of a narrative consisting of four main sections (Canadian nordicity as viewed from Paris; The experience of the north; Borrowing from the north; The north and art), whose themes are examined in essays contributed by specialists in relevant fields.
