Texts by Terry R. Myers and Nicholas HatfulOliver Osborne is not the first painter to make pretty choice paintings that are about choice, or, better yet, about doing something about choice itself: something critical yet open, timely yet mindful of history. The categories in which his paintings could be situated remain well-placed themselves not because they have been kept in their place as dogma but rather because many artists have worked hard to resist those aspects of choice that have too often and too easily become limiting, if not exclusionary and reactionary. Abstract, representational, high, low, painting, picture, even colour and line are less likely than maybe ever to fit into any construct of either/or. Not that long ago any hint of such a resistance to definition was usually taken as evidence of a lack of commitment or conviction, a verdict rendered more often than not on the basis of modernist doctrine. Now, of course, new painters are emerging after postmodernism has moved from theory to doctrine itself, and, to my eyes (and ears), it's clear that another paradigm is emerging, one that pushes against not only the either/or but also any continuation of the 'death of painting' narrative. It seems to me that that story now seems to many of these emerging painters as having been exhausted by those of us who lived through a parent-child relationship with both modernism and postmodernism that was (and may still be) ambivalent. There have been, fortunately, some agile and reliable 'runaways' such as Laura Owens, who, as demonstrated in a recent interview, is very much on point  about what the death of painting wasn't able to extinguish: 'painting does things , and why wouldn't you use all the things it does?'This is the attitude adjustment that emerging painters such as Oliver Osborne have taken on and then intensified to up their game. Well versed in crucial aspects of image culture (its production and analysis), and with an anything-but-lacking desire for the material conditions of making and, yes, the dexterity of both hand and brain, Osborne has already established in his work that the long-standing ways and means of painting (long, long before modernism) are not all that played out after all.

This catalogue accompanies an exhibition held at Lismore Castle in Ireland in Summer 2013. The book records an extraordinary collection of monuments and follies, including paper monuments, dispersed or performative memorials, and various forms of unrealised or unrealisable structures.

Published for the exhibition Disposition, this slim but satisfying catalogue is composed of a series of pictures, close ups and words about the two major projects Ai Weiwei has created for Zuecca Project Space within the context of the 55th Venice Biennale.

Although the Californian conceptual artist Robert Kinmont's work dates back to the late 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, this is the first monograph ever. Kinmont is primarily concerned with his environment, the Californian landscape. He works with simple, mostly natural materials, and places them in relation to his body and his life. Probably his best known work, entitled 8 Natural Handstands (1969/2005), a series of photographs showing the artist doing handstands in abandoned landscapes, on the edges of cliffs, river beds, forests and deserts, was illustrated in Lucy Lippard's famous book Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972. Not so long afterwards, Kinmont retreated from art practice for the following three decades. Recent solo exhibitions in Glarus and Bremen have been the occasion for a long overdue publication. Kinmont is back. With texts by Alexandra Blättler, Stefanie Böttcher, Robert Kinmont, Aoife Rosenmeyer, Sabine Rusterholz Petko

Published in coordination with the first solo show by Matthew Brannon in an Italian art institution, the catalogue 'In Italy It's Called "Department Store At Night" The Rest Of The World Knows It As "Postcards & Death Certificates" is organised as two independent volumes contraining an unpublished novel by the American writer 'Antelope' an essay by Alan Reid in the form of a set of "imaginary" letters sent to Brannon himself, "Unanswered Letters," and a critical text by the curator of the exhibition and co-editor of the catalogue Alberto Salvadori.

An integral part of the work of An Order of Things II, presented by Petra Feriancova in the 55th Venice Biennale, the catalogue An Order of Things I forms the prelude, memory, inventory, extension and, above all, systematic organisation of that tangible experience, those collections physically arrayed before our eyes, according to criteria the viewer slowly intuits beyond the mute nature of the images.

Tan draws upon psychology and neurology to create installations exploring our inner and outer livesInspired by a drawing by neurologist Oliver Sacks representing the physiological organization of migraines, Lisa Tan (born 1973) creates a system of "open walls" allowing viewers to navigate the intersection between the nervous system and the formation of the self.

Colorful windows, panels and altarpieces create a contemporary sacred space within an art museumInspired by church architecture and decoration, Danish artist Alexander Tovborg (born 1983) transforms the galleries of the Kunsthal Charlottenborg into an immersive, sacred atmosphere of space, shaped according to Tovborg's own interpretation of Christian iconography.

Grand Illusion is a photographic series of screenshots from Google Cultural Institute's "Museum View" of Baroque European palaces-objects of beauty and manifestations of power whose gold encrusted ornamentation points to the colonial activities abroad that made this kind of wealth possible. While the monarchies and empires of the past used beauty as an expression of their authority, technology, in its mediation of the world, often operates without an aesthetic agenda. Throughout this series, the covert power of technology makes itself visible only through accidents such as glitches, a glimpse of the machine in the mirror, the AI blurring the faces of statuary.

Benoit Pieron: Slumber Party is the first book by the French artist, published on the occasion of his 2023 commission at Chisenhale Gallery, London. Continuing his practice of applying a vital softness to the hard spaces of the hospital, this new publication is inspired in both form and content by waiting room magazines as a site of intervention and diversion. Installation views accompany a visual essay by Pieron documenting the processes behind the commission. A series of activities have been devised by artists ClayAD, Paul Maheke, Roxanne Maillet and Pieron. Each invites the reader to either draw on or rip out pages to help pass the time; making and remaking the book anew for each reader. The book considers how to transform the often stale or distressing atmosphere of a medical waiting room with a sense of possibility and renewed imagination. These activities are accompanied by texts from Chisenhale Gallery's Director Zoé Whitley, the exhibition's curator Oliva Aherne, and ClayAD, as well as a conversation between Piéron and artist Paul Maheke that traverses subjects from the fallibility of healthcare and the work of Félix González-Torres, to the allure of vampires and soft toys. This publication is made possible through the generous support of Lead Supporter, Fondation Pernod Ricard, and Headline Supporters, Fluxus Art Projects and The Clare McKeon Charitable Trust with additional thanks to the Chisenhale Gallery Publishing Supporters' Circle, and Galerie Sultana.

Pulpy and provocative, D'Angelo's works confront conventional thinking and reveal subconscious ideas of lust and fearDrawing on camp horror and pop culture, the works of Korean American artist Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo (born 1983) are inspired by bloodthirsty vampires, bad romance, South Korean cinema and Hollywood blockbusters, creating imagery that is equally haunting and seductive.

A cosmos of gestural, uncanny works from an acclaimed Swiss painterThis monograph provides comprehensive insight into the work of Klodin Erb (born 1963), one of Switzerland's most renowned contemporary artists.

Surveying the contemporary design landscape in Italy, with an eye towards the climate crisisThis catalog accompanies a group show at the ADI Design Museum in Milan, featuring a selection of works from Italian designers under age 35. The exhibition showcases how these young designers meet the challenges posed by continuous ecological and social transformations.

This richly illustrated catalogue reflects on the making of the group exhibition Penumbra. Commissioned and produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film at the Complesso dell'Ospedaletto, Venice, on the occasion of the Biennale Arte 2022, it presented newly commissioned works to Karimah Ashadu, Jonathas de Andrade, Aziz Hazara, He Xiangyu, Masbedo, James Richards, Emilija Skarnulyte, and Ana Vaz. Edited by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi with Bianca Stoppani, it includes an atmospheric visual essay about Venice commissioned to photographer Giacomo Bianco and a wide selection of installation views documenting the display of the works together with the experience of walking through the eight video installations. Each of them is presented with its technical information, including the stills, synopsis, and credits, to share the visual and conceptual aspects of the narrative in each work. The book also features 8 newly commissioned essays by writers, scholars, and researchers, including Taylor Aldridge, Barbara Casavecchia, Bruno Carvalho and Ana Laura Malmaceda, Martin Herbert, Matt Keegan, Filipa Ramos, Francesca Recchia, and Giorgio Vasta, that give original and critical insights into the works and the extended practices of the artists of Penumbra via never-before-published research and backstage materials. It is also accompanied by an introductory text by Beatrice Bulgari, President at Fondazione In Between Art Film, as well as newly extended essays by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi, co-curators of Penumbra; Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, who designed the scenography of the show with his agency 2050+; and Bianca Stoppani and Paola Ugolini, co-curators of Vanishing Points, the public program accompanying Penumbra.

Dutch conceptual artist Anouk Kruithof (born 1981) reimagines photography and sculpture to create liberating and disturbing artworks that explore the interactions between people, nature and technology. This is the artist's first comprehensive retrospective, surveying two decades of her multimedia practice.

"Genoa's token, as we know, is the Lanterna, and not much is even asked of it to play this role: at least, no more than a minimum of photogenicity. At the foot of the Lanterna, which is the monumental lighthouse that has watched over its harbour since the twelfth century, Genoa can be as disorderly as it wishes. "-Valter ScelsiThe protagonist of this new book by Giovanna Silva is the city of Genoa. From spontaneous walks through Genoa, in search of its contemporary architecture-hidden between causeways, sea, and steep hills-Silva moves to Franco Albini's interiors. Albini, called to design and rethink the city's museum system by the legendary figure of Caterina Marcenaro-the first historian of Italian art, thwarted by the entire male clan of the time-builds and perfects pieces of Genoa making it a more modern city. Silva's book is a look at these places that combine the past of historic buildings with the contemporaneity of the first modern museums. Her photos are in dialogue with those of Paolo Monti, who instead photographed Albini's work during construction at the end of the forties.
