A 15th-anniversary edition of Jonas' landmark monograph documenting her performance response to Aby WarburgReissued for the 15th anniversary of this volume and during Joan Jonas' (born 1936) first major US museum show in 15 years, this catalog documents the deep, immersive performance The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things, originally commissioned by Dia Art Foundation and responding to German art historian Aby Warburg's essay on his visit to the American Southwest. The book includes a statement from the artist, scene-by-scene descriptions with photos, a conversation between Joan Jonas and Jason Moran (who composed music for the performance) and an essay by Lynne Cooke, a senior curator at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, and former curator at Dia. With a new reflection from the artist looking back on this groundbreaking performance, the anniversary edition is a tangible manifestation of the ongoing significance of Jonas' work.

"Artists on Robert Smithson is the fifth volume in a series that builds upon Dia Art Foundation's Artists on Artists lectures. Established in 2001, the lecture series highlights the work of artists in Dia's collection from the perspective of their peers. The contributors to this volume engage with Smithson's work in myriad innovative ways; Matthew Buckingham's essay highlights Smithson's preoccupation with the ways in which histories of the earth are constructed and contested; Abraham Cruzvillegas considers Smithson's work with broken glass and architecture, advancing a theory of mediation and entropy; Mark Dion's didactic approach to the life and work of the artist recounts the conceptual and geologic conditions that led to his birth and development; Teresita Fernâandez confronts the limitations of dominant histories of place, art, and the monumental; Trevor Paglen considers Smithson's iconic spiral and his fascination with natural history, uncovering a desert imaginary; Rayyane Tabet weaves together a history of basalt, conceiving a geologic network that reveals histories of colonialism, surveillance, and strife; and finally, engaging with the science fiction canon and the genre's cinematic conventions, Diana Thater provides a close reading of Smithson's Spiral Jetty film. Together, these artists offer a vital, wide-ranging, and critical look at the work and legacy of the pioneering Land artist"--

Artists on Andy Warhol is the third installment in a series culled from Dia's Artists on Artists lectures, focused on the work of artist Andy Warhol (1928-87). This small-format paperback book delves into Warhol's oft-quoted phrase: "If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it." Artists on Andy Warhol breaks down this iconic phrase to investigate Warhol's relationship with art, culture, language and race with essays that examine the significance of halftones and shadows and look to sources such as Ralph Ellison and Jacques Lacan. Together Robert Buck, Glenn Ligon, Jorge Pardo, Kara Walker and James Welling search beyond the surface of Warhol's work, persona and legacy to better understand the invisible artist.

From 1992 to 2004, Dia Art Foundation presented the Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art, in which a distinguished array of scholars, critics and cultural historians engaged in cross-disciplinary critical discourse around Dia's exhibition program. The lectures were subsequently collected into a related series of publications, providing a valuable record and extending the debate on contemporary artistic practice and theory. This fifth and final volume focuses on analyses of the work of internationally recognized artists Jo Baer, Pierre Huyghe, Vera Lutter, Gerhard Richter, Rosemarie Trockel and Robert Whitman.

This book documents a year-long exhibition entitled Knots + Surfaces, at Dia Center for the Arts from January 2001 through January 2002, in which Diana Thater presented a large-scale, multiprojection video installation specifically designed to interact with the open architectural space of Dia's third-floor gallery. A charged environment, combining layered projections with a wall of clustered monitors, becomes a metaphorical charting of multidimensional space. Referring to a recent mathematical hypothesis that correlates a complex, six-dimesional spatial model to a map of a honey bee's dance, Thater expands her abiding concern with the intersection of nature and culture. Along with an introduction to both her work and the exhibition by Lynne Cooke, the book will include an essay on Thater's work by Akira Lippit.
