Guillermo Kuitca, whose paintings and prints are often inspired by seating arrangements in theater interiors, recreated the seating chart for Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in this work. In a characteristic manner, he casts a shadow of red over the diagram, which turns the space into an abstract superposition of planes. One of the most prominent contemporary artists from Latin America, the Argentine Guillermo Kuitca makes haunting paintings of stadiums, airports, theaters, and other public spaces; borrowing imagery from maps, floor plans, and seating charts.

Between 1968-1969 Dorothy Iannone made a series of 27 A4 drawings depicting her life with Dieter Roth while living in Germany, France and Iceland. Dorothy described this period as “always immersed in the beloved.” She called this series of drawings Ta(Rot) (Dieter Roth was also known as Dieter Rot). When Dorothy had her exhibition at the New Museum in 2009, she collaborated with Jarrett Gregory and Daniel Thiem to re-imagine her Ta(Rot) series into a tarot pack edition. She compressed them into 3.75 x 5″ inches laminated cards.

DANIEL KNORR, Pukapuka Tohunga Mahi Toi, 2009
ca 16 x 23 x 2,5 cm
SC, inserted objects, Maori text, 240 pages, DVD
edition 168
numbered, signed
published by Clouds, Aotearoa, New Zealand  

Daniel Knorr’s artist’s book ‘Pukapuka Tohunga Mahi Toi’ involves a process of mapping the city in which Knorr collected pieces of rubbish on the street. This material was interleaved into the blank pages of each book and pressed by a 200-ton press, embossing the objects into the paper. Each book sets out to respond to local concerns and histories and, for this reason, the text for the New Zealand version is entirely in Maori. The cover the artist used the typeface Churchward Maori, designed by New Zealand type designer Joseph Churchward. The book includes a video which documents the process of making the work.

Clouds is a small publishing house involved in the publication of art books.

Louise Bourgeois made sculptures in wood, steel, stone and cast rubber and used drawing and printing as a tool of artistic expression, often organic in form and sexually explicit, emotionally aggressive yet witty, covered many stylistic bases. But from first to last they shared a set of repeated themes centered on the human body and its need for nurture and protection in a frightening world;  protection often translated into images of shelter or home.

The glasswork ‘Touch’ (2009) of Hreinn Fridfinnsson could be characterized as a breakable object that has been touched by the artist’s paint hand in the colours blue, green, yellow, violet and red. It reads as a symbolic act of all the touches done by billions of individuals, a universal human urge that will last until eternity. Fundamental colours that refer to white light and to elementary colours emphasise this continuity of human condition to relate to nature, and the way we look at it and how behave in that same nature being part of it. During millennia many touches have been made and in that sense during the ages to come with touch after touch nothing will change this human drive. KvG
