Iaspis Launches Three New Publications on Contemporary Art

Iaspis is proud to announce the launch of three new publications, each with a different focus and character – a monograph on Henrik Håkansson and his works inspired by nature, as well as two anthologies based on two international symposiums arranged by Iaspis – Taking the Matter into Common Hands: On Contemporary Art and Collaborative Practices and A Fiesta of Tough Choices: Contemporary Art in the Wake of Cultural Policies. The publications will be distributed internationally as a part of Iaspis’ increased role as an institution that actively participates in the formulation and exploration of the most topical questions of contemporary art. Iaspis is collaborating with three internationally renowned publishing companies: Black Dog Publishing, Torpedo Press, and Propexus.

Henrik Håkansson
Editors: Sara Arrhenius and Bettina Pehrsson
The book is a monograph on Henrik Håkansson’s nature-inspired artistry and contains an essay by Will Bradley, curator and writer based in Glasgow, and co-edited with Sara Arrhenius, director of Bonniers Konsthall. This is the third book in a series of publications published by Iaspis which present Swedish artists in dialogue with a writer. Published by Propexus, Lund.
To order: http://www.propexus.se/

Taking the Matter into Common Hands: On Contemporary Art and Collaborative Practices
Editors: Johanna Billing, Maria Lind, and Lars Nilsson.
The publication is a continuation of the symposium Taking the Matter into Common Hands: A Symposium in Two Episodes organised at Iaspis in the autumn of 2005. It presents a survey of the regenerated interest in collective work and other forms of collaborations within contemporary art. The publication discusses how the forms and the conditions of the collective activities have been presented, investigated and questioned in a number of different projects: how to work temporarily and on a long-time basis, how to split focus on subjects, methods, life-styles and political attitudes. Published by Black Dog Publishing, London.
Contributors: 16 Beaver, B+B, Copenhagen Free University, Nav Haq, Brian Holmes, IKK, Jakob Jakobsen, Marysia Lewandowska, Marion von Osten, Schleuser.net, Simon Sheikh, School of Missing Studies, Katharina Schlieben, Martin Schmidle, Tirdad Zolghadr, Anton Vidokle, WHW, and Åbäke.

A Fiesta of Tough Choices: Contemporary Art in the Wake of Cultural Policies
Editors: Maria Lind and Tirdad Zolghadr
The publication is a development of the festival-inspired exhibition with two seminars organised at Iaspis in Stockholm in the spring of 2006, with several new texts and artistic projects in book form. In view of the Swedish government’s decision to make the year 2006 the Year of Cultural Diversity both artists and theorists with a special talent of challenging given terminologies and revaluing their critical potential were engaged. Published by Torpedo Press, Oslo.
Contributors: Timothy Brennan, Loulou Cherinet, Peter Geschwind, Jonathan Harris, Edda Manga, Kate Rich, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Hito Steyerl, Tirdad Zolghadr and Måns Wrange.

HOUSE TRIP is the title of ART FORUM BERLIN’s special exhibition 2007, curated by Ami Barak, Artistic Director of the Art Department of the City of Paris and former director of FRAC Languedoc-Roussillon. His exhibition, featuring up to 40 artists in an exhibition space of approximately 2,000 sqm, focuses on the intimate relationship between art, architecture and design resulting from a growing artistic interest in modernism and investigates the blurring boundaries between private and public. Ami Barak: „The artists in the selection deal with questions of “home sweet home”, of living rooms as private landscapes and of architecture as desire. At the same time an interesting move takes place while something personal becomes public and vice versa.”

Participating Artists include: Adel Abdessemed / Saâdane Afif / Maja Bajevic / Mircea Cantor / Keren Cytter / Plamen Dejanoff / Marcelline Delbecq / Fabrice Gygi / Swetlana Heger / Séverine Hubard / Talia Keinan / Mark Kent / Peter Kogler / Lamarche & Ovize / / Maria Pask / Gitte Schäfer / Miri Segal / Francesco Simeti / Markus Sixay / Yorgos Sapountzis (list in formation, please consult our website for updates).
