Epilogue: In a seemingly marked-out, hierarchical world which is far more chaotic and uncontrolled than it appears, Michel François's essentially sculptural work, which on the contrary is obviously chaotic and subtly framed, is a model of sensual and ideological reconfiguration of the immediate. His delight in forms and games of representation derives from his wonderment at the world's materials, nature, situations or ideas. Despite the sometimes sombre rawness of some references, the artist ultimately sets out to reconcile what are sometimes distant and contradictory fields in the world of art. Highly formal sculpture underpinned by a set of complex theoretical and ideological strata, laying claim to a liberal art, while accepting the slavish share of work. The ideological issues of modernity (the everyday as material, art as a cosa mentale, universality of forms, abstraction, seriality), without ignoring the great issues of classical art (perspective, nature, manual work, metaphor, illusion, trompe-l'oeil). A focus on the world and on the intimate sphere, neutralised by elegant detachment from forms. Representative clarity and simplicity, contrasted with indeterminate perception. In short, acceptance of physical and moral responsibility for the fundamental demands of sculpture, without sacrificing freedom, risk and uncertainty. (Guillaume Desanges)

132 Passages Through (the Unfinished Monument) Tamuna Chabashvili, Adi Hollander, Vesna Madzoski (ed.) 192 20 x 13 Public Space With A Roof 2010

Story about a project for the KIASMA Museum in Helsinki, Finland, that was canceled two weeks before its realization. It was intended to become an installation of three intersecting Möbius strips 'circling' around the gallery, functioning as a platform to exhibit works of other artists. Finally only a model of this structure was created and photographed with a pinhole camera. On the images, the structure is still visible, but their blurry and foggy atmosphere shows a different universe, closer to the world of dreams and imagination.
The book includes 17 series of photographs, each of them offering a slightly different imaginary walk through the structure, accompanied by fragments of texts by several individuals who inspired the artists while working on the project: Vladimir Odoevsky, Frederick Kiesler, Walter Benjamin, Susan Buck-Morss, Juhani Pallasmaa, Italo Calvino, and Steven Holl. The book also contains a theoretical reflection on the artistic process and experience of cancelling a project.

130 Cast (part 2) Raymond Taudin Chabot 32 16 x 23 Fw: 2009

The booklet starts with a sequence of photographs and reproductions leading to an image of a golden pretzel, depicting a sculpture by Taudin Chabot. It reads like a reflection on different representational forms of decorum and their flipside within photography. Unexpectedly the sequence switches to images of clocks, tables, television sets, gambling machines, newspapers and a whole range of devices that are commonly deployed to kill time. Their origin remains opaque but they indicate a parallel reality  that is precarious and clandestine. Edition 600 copies. Made in collaboration with Roger Willems.

128 Extended Caption (DDDG) Stuart Bailey 112 34.5 x 24.5 Culturgest, Lisbon / Dexter Sinister, New York 2009

An exhibition in Culturgest, Porto provided the seventh occasion for Stuart Bailey to show a group of artefacts whose only shared connection was that they had appeared somewhere in the pages of Dot Dot Dot - a magazine which he has edited since its conception in 2000. The publication plays with the idea of inverting the regular hierarchy of this magazine where texts are generally treated as primary and images secondary. It contains a leporello reproduction of the exhibition wall with all the 43 artefacts, followed by subsequent reproductions of 43 previously published Dot Dot Dot articles, systematically presented as captions of these artefacts. With texts by Stuart Bailey and Jan Verwoert. Design: Roger Willems and Sam de Groot. ISBN 978-90-77459-37-9. Read more: www.dot-dot-dot.us/index.html?id=55

123 One Time One Million (Migratory Birds / Romantic Capitalism) Susanne Kriemann 122 22 x 27.5 Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam 2009

An original Swedish Hasselblad camera is the point of departure for One Time One Million. Because the camera dates from 1942, this object launched Kriemann straight back into history. Kriemann succeeds in pushing the concrete politics that adhere to this object into the background. That gives her room to say much more than she would have had a chance to say in a specifically political context: she can bring clusters together in new images, make new connections, rearrange things, tinker around, and thus arrive at new insights. (Els Roelandt in SMBA Newsletter No. 108)
Photographs by Susanne Kriemann, Viktor Hasselblad and anonymous sources. Texts by Cecilia Widenheim, Dieter Roelstraete, Aleksander Komarov, Sören Gunnarsson, Ulrika Flink, Ida Lowgren.

The paper reveals a surprising image of the small, picturesque town. The greater part of the photographs show fives found in Hann. Münden, but others were staged, such as the graffiti and the traffic signs arranged in groups of five at night. Edition 100,000
