Independently published and edited by critic Ashley Crawford, Tension magazine lasted for 25 bi-monthly issues dedicated to Art, Music, Fashion, Theatre, Film, Photography, across reviews, interviews, reports, critical essays and artist pages.

For the latest issue no. 113, TEXTE ZUR KUNST investigates the structures within the arts and cultural spheres where racism and discrimination are practiced, performed, and reproduced. This special issue concentrates specifically on the context of Germany, and includes discussions and texts from artists and theorists throughout the country who have dedicated special attention to current and ongoing political and social crises; specifically the challenges these crises pose for the language and terms of art criticism. How can criticism mount an appropriate response to the discrimination and injustices that pervade all levels of society?

Lithuanian-born Jonas Mekas migrated to Brooklyn via Germany in 1949 and began shooting his first films there. Mekas developed a form of film diary in which he recorded his daily observations. He became the barometer of the New York art scene and a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema. Every week, from 1958 until 1977, he published his “Movie Journal” column in the Village Voice, conducting numerous interviews with filmmakers from all over the world. Conversations is the first time that these interviews with his filmmaker friends and associates have been put together in a book. Mekas recorded the conversations with his camera. From the films he shot with his interlocutors, Mekas selected one photo or still to introduce each interview. The collection of texts is supplemented by letters and extracts from related scenarios/scripts and rounded out with an index of the people involved.

Features conversations with Storm de Hirsch and Louis Brigante, Andy Warhol, Nico Papatakis, Albert and David Maysles, Peter Kubelka, Agnes Varda, Harry Smith, John Cassavetes, Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, and many more.

Using "ordinary" movements, the Judson Dance Theater stripped dance of its theatrical conventions

Taking its name from the Judson Memorial Church, a socially engaged Protestant congregation in New York's Greenwich Village, Judson Dance Theater was organized as a series of open workshops from which its participants developed performances. Redefining the kinds of movement that could count as dance, the Judson participants--Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs, Philip Corner, Bill Dixon, Judith Dunn, David Gordon, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Fred Herko, Robert Morris, Steve Paxton, Rudy Perez, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, Carolee Schneemann and Elaine Summers, among others--would go on to profoundly shape all fields of art in the second half of the 20th century. They employed new compositional methods to strip dance of its theatrical conventions, incorporating "ordinary" movements--gestures typical of the street or home, for example, rather than a stage--into their work, along with games, simple tasks, and social dances to infuse their pieces with a sense of spontaneity.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done highlights the workshop's ongoing significance. The catalog charts the development of Judson, beginning with the workshops and classes led by Anna Halprin, Robert Ellis Dunn and James Waring, and exploring the influence of other figures working downtown such as Simone Forti and Andy Warhol, as well as venues for collective action like Judson Gallery and the Living Theatre. Lushly illustrated with film stills, photographic documentation, reproductions of sculptural objects, scores, music, poetry, architectural drawings and archival material, the publication celebrates the group's multidisciplinary and collaborative ethos as well as the range of its participants.

Texts by Glenn Phillips, Doris Chon, Pietro Rigolo, Philipp Kaiser

Harald Szeemann is associated with some of the most important artistic developments of the postwar era. A passionate advocate of avant-garde movements like conceptualism and post minimalism, he collaborated with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, and Cy Twombly, developing new ways of presenting art that reflected his sweeping vision of contemporary culture.

Szeemann once stated that his goal as an exhibition maker was to create a "Museum of Obsessions." This richly illustrated volume is a virtual collection catalogue for that imaginary institution, tracing the evolution of his curatorial method through the materials he collected and produced while researching and organising his exhibitions, including letters, drawings, personal datebooks, installation plans, artists' books, posters, photographs, and handwritten notes.

This book documents all phases of Szeemann's career, from his early stint as director of the Kunsthalle Bern, where he organized the seminal Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form (1969); to documenta 5 (1972) and the intensely personal exhibition he staged in his own apartment using the belongings of his hairdresser grandfather (1974); to his reinvention as a freelance curator who realised projects on wide-ranging themes until his death in 2005.

The book contains essays exploring Szeemann's curatorial approach as well as interviews with collaborators. Its more than 350 illustrations include previously unpublished installation photographs and exhibition documents as well as many other materials from the curator's archive.

"In 1961 a fashionable commercial artist named Andy Warhol created an artistic furor in New York with his deadpan versions of the Campbell’s Soup can. Since then he has become the most talked about but least understood artist of the late 20th century. Warhol made acceptable the use of industrial techniques in the creation of paintings obsessed with modern clichés—car crashes, Coke bottles, sex symbols such as Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. At the same time, his films—Blowjob, Sleep, Chelsea Girls, Lonesome Cowboys—forced us to look at the object/subject, transformed the bizarre into the banal, and remade the form and content of cinematic experiment and production."

First edition, published in 1971 by the mighty Studio Vista (and out of print since 1980), Peter Gidal’s Andy Warhol was the first book written on Warhol’s films and paintings, a concise and astute analysis of an artistic revolution. "Idol of the jet set," "trend-maker," superstar, Warhol was taken at more than face value in Gidal’s unconventional and insightful exploration. Decades later, Andy Warhol remains a seminal text, essential for a serious understanding of the artist and the work. Still the best thing written on Andy Warhol, according to art historian Benjamin Buchloh. Illustrated with over 100 b/w photographs, many of which caused great censorship problems at the time of distribution.

"This anthology offers for the first time an extensive survey of the theoretical contributions of avant- garde ﬁlm-makers and essays about their cinematic achievements. Several texts appear in print, or in English, for the first time here. Because of the diversity of the materials—manifestoes, letters, a scenario, program notes, lectures, interviews—and because of the stylistic peculiarities of some of the authors, no attempt has been made to standardize spellings, punctuation, or footnoting throughout the book. Each contribution conforms to its original manuscript or printed form..." - P. Adams Sitney

First hardcover edition of Underground Film: A Critical History by Parker Tyler and published in London in 1971.

Parker Tyler (1904-1974), one of the few great American film critics, was intimate with and enormously respected by many of the underground and experimental filmmakers of his time. In this book, Tyler evaluated the Underground in general (from "Le Folie de Docteur Tube" by Abel Gance (1915) to "I Am Curious (Yellow)" by Vilgot Sjoman (1969)) and the seminal films in particular, covering the history and scope of the genre with insight and verve. Like Tyler's Screening of the Sexes: Homosexuality in the Movies, Underground Film is one of the masterpieces of cinema literature.

From the book jacket:
Parker Tyler was the first critic to write seriously about the early Underground cinema, especially about Stan Brakhage, Sidney Peterson, Gregory Markopoulos, Willard Maas and Maya Deren. Here he assesses their work, together with that of Kenneth Anger, Stan Vanderbeek, Andy Warhol, Bruce Connor, Paul Sharis, Charles Boultenhouse and other new film-makers. He discusses specific films, showing the variety of aims and techniques, and tracing their origins in Dada and Surrealism and in the classics of Bunuel, Cocteau, Clair, Eisenstein and Wiene. Parker Tyler's early criticism (e.g. Magic and Myth of the Movies) was concerned with the hidden dreams within the Hollywood commercial "establishment". The dreams have now come to the surface in the Underground cinema, which is concerned with new ways of perceiving, new inventions in unusual form the sound, new experiences of a clandestine or libertine nature, new theories of aesthetics. With taste and judgement Mr Tyler picks his way through the achievements and failures of a desperate, fertile, explosive period in the history of the cinema.

Chapters:

First hardcover edition of this classic book by David Curtis, published by the great Studio Vista in 1971.

"In this wide-ranging survey, David Curtis traces the development of film experimentation from the pioneer narrative efforts of Edwin S. Porter and the fantasmagoric and special effects of Emile Cohl and Norman Dawn early in the twentieth century to the New American Cinema films of Stan Brakhage, Gregory Markopoulos, Ron Rice, and Andy Warhol in the 1960s and now in the 1970s. Mr Curtis regards the experimental film as a dynamic contribution to modern art, and he describes the excitement and struggle of film-makers discovering and expanding their medium. Among the many forms, styles, and ways of working that he illustrates and analyses are Abel Gance's rapid-cutting technique, Walter Ruttmann's 'city symphonies', Oskar Fischinger's abstract approaches, Len Lye's hand-painted images and kinetic use of colour separations, Curtis Harrington's introspective cinema, Francis Thompson's artistry of distortion, the collage animations of Stan Vanderbeek, Mike Durford, and Victor and Silvio Loffredo, Bruce Conner's adaptation of montage, Scott Bartlett's and Pat O'Neill's use of the optical printer, the computer films of Vanderbeck, Ken Knowlton, Marc Adrian, and Denys Irving, and the structural films of Kurt Kren, George Landow, and Mike Snow. Also examined are the accomplishments of such significant figures as Viking Eggeling, Hans Richter, Man Ray, Fernand Léger, and Dimitri Kirsanov in the 1920s; Jean Cocteau, Watson and Webber, and Mary Ellen Bute in the 1930s, and the key American experimentalists Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, and the Whitney Brothers among them, and the Canadian Norman McLaren in the 1940s, as well as the shifting cinematic approaches of Luis Buñuel. Represented are film-makers from Japan, England, Russia, Canada, and the United States, in addition to many previously uncharted independent film-makers of Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and other countries of Europe."

It includes an introduction and the twenty essays that first appeared in Mousse, a newly commissioned afterword by Hans Ulrich Obrist, and two additional essays that appear here for the first time.

The publication focuses on the following artists: Avant-Garde, the Argentinean artist group - Mel Bochner - Marcel Broodthaers - Hank Bull, Shen Fan, Zhou Tiehai, Shi Yong, and Ding Yi - John Cage - Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, and the CalArt's Feminist Art Program - Collaborative Projects Inc.

Art & Vinyl is an exhilarating new look into the history of the vinyl record as a medium for modern and contemporary visual art. This beautifully designed and printed publication is the first book to focus in-depth on works of art created specifically for an album, composer or musician.

With reproductions of more than 200 LPs from the mid-20th century to the present, Art & Vinyl traces the trajectory of how the record album has been considered by artists as material for a work of art. The book begins with Pablo Picasso’s 1949 depiction of the dove of peace, printed directly on an audio disc. Significantly, the recording was Paul Robeson’s Chante Pour La Paix (Singing for Peace). Art & Vinyl also includes works by artists as disparate and wide-ranging as Ed Ruscha, Marlene Dumas, Cy Twombly, Yoko Ono, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, Robert Rauschenberg, Sol LeWitt, Sophie Calle and Andy Warhol.

Highlights include Gerhard Richter’s extraordinary oil painting made directly on a recording of Glenn Gould’s Bach: The Goldberg Variations (1984), as well as Allan Kaprow’s LP How to Make a Happening (1966). Also featured are albums of original recordings by Joseph Beuys, Yves Klein, Jean Dubuffet, Christian Marclay and Wolfgang Tillmans, among others. Some of the better-known artists’ covers for rock, pop and jazz albums featured here are Jann Haworth and Peter Blake’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band; Jim Dine’s cover for The Best of Cream; Lee Friedlander’s portrait of Miles Davis for In a Silent Way; Warhol’s cover for Sticky Fingers and Robert Frank’s Exile on Main Street; Mapplethorpe’s classic Patti Smith portrait for Horses; Robert Longo’s cover for Glenn Branca’s The Ascension; Fischli/Weiss’s Liliput; and Alec Soth’s cover for Dolorean’s The Unfazed.

Art & Vinyl has been assembled over the course of nearly a decade by curator and collector Antoine de Beaupré, author of Total Records and founder of Librarie Galerie 213 in Paris.

The nightclub as avant-garde architecture: from Studio 54 to the Double Club

Nightclubs and discotheques are hotbeds of contemporary culture. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, they have been centres of the avantgarde that question social norms and experiment with different realities, merging interior and furniture design, graphics and art with sound, light, fashion, and special effects to create a modern Gesamtkunstwerk.

Night Fever. Designing Club Culture 1960 – Today is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the design history of the nightclub, examining its cultural context and international scope. Examples range from the Italian clubs of the 1960s created by the protagonists of Radical Design to the legendary Studio 54 where Andy Warhol was a regular and the Palladium in New York, designed by Arata Isozaki, as well as more recent concepts by architecture studio OMA for the Ministry of Sound II in London.

Featuring films and vintage photographs, posters, flyers, and fashion, Night Fever takes the reader on a fascinating journey through a world of glamour, subculture, and the search for the night that never ends.

New and revised edition of Iñaki Ábalos’s highly acclaimed book on seven iconic 20th-century houses, some of them actually built, others merely imagined or realized as film sets.

What is the role of architecture if not to realize a shared vision of the "good life," a vision that in the age of architectural modernism shaped - and was shaped by - a range of ideas about the home?

With The Good Life, Iñaki Ábalos serves as our guide for a tour of seven iconic twentieth-century homes that represent various concepts for living. Some of the homes were actually built, while others were merely planned, painted, or created as part of a film set. We see Mies van der Rohe's House with Three Patios, Martin Heidegger's cabin in the Black Forest, Picasso's Villa La Californie in Cannes, and the New York loft that Andy Warhol called The Factory. From the ultramodern geometric houses and gardens in Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle, we travel to the famed hobby-kit house in Buster Keaton's One Week and on to the sunny swimming pool and home in David Hockney's painting A Bigger Splash. Ábalos guides readers through the key philosophical precepts that likely guided the creation of these homes, making insightful points about the relationship between ideas about a particular modern way of living and approaches to architecture and design. What he concludes is that modernism marks less a coherent triumph of positivism, as is often assumed, than a loose celebration of the radical pluralism of the twentieth century. A fascinating work by one of Spain's most prominent architects, The Good Life presents a powerful picture of the concerns that guided the course of architectural modernism.

Fifty years after its founding by Elio Fiorucci in 1967, the iconic Milanese fashion label is entering a new phase of ingenuity. Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the label and the glittering unveiling of its new collection and retail stores, this book is a tribute to the history of a pioneering brand and a celebration of its colourful future.

Bright, colourful, sexy, and irreverent, Fiorucci came to define more than any other brand the fashion of the 1980s. Famous for scouring the world to bring vibrant elements of global underground culture into their designs, Fiorucci is responsible for defining the extravagant palette of the post-punk era, with neon and fluorescent tones, iridescent spandex and stretch denim, bringing the influences of pop art and pop culture to bear on fashion for the first time. Now relaunched under the direction of impresarios Janie and Stephen Schaffer, Fiorucci continues to surprise, shock, and impress. In the spirit of Fiorucci itself, this delightful book is a bright and intoxicating tour through everything from the first leopard-print patterns to the new designs defining the future of this iconic brand.

This lavish hardcover book has sections dedicated entirely to Fiorucci's posters, logos, graphics, stores, fanzines, and parties, and includes contributions by/interviews with Oliviero Toscani, Maripol, Douglas Coupland, Terry Jones, David Dewaele, Marc Jacobs, David Owen and edited by Sofia Coppola.

This collection of essays does not aim to illustrate a prefabricated theory of art, but rather follows the impulses given by artworks themselves. Philosopher and art critic Boris Groys writes about significant works and artists over the last century that have pushed his thinking in new directions. His compelling arguments do not try to replace the singular content or message of an artwork. Instead, his writings are inspired by art as a mind-changing practice—as if contemporary artists, completely secularized, can still produce a kind of conversion within the spectator. Particular Cases is an original exploration of pivotal concerns related to the development of contemporary art—originality and repetition, the valuation of artworks, materiality and production, historical and personal archives, and the language of power.

Featuring essays on Paweł Althamer, Francis Alÿs, Yael Bartana, Paul Chan, Olga Chernysheva, Marcel Duchamp, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Martin Honert, Rebecca Horn, IRWIN, Wassily Kandinsky, Piero Manzoni, Anri Sala, Thomas Schütte, Mladen Stilinović, Inga Svala Thorsdottir and Wu Shanzhuan, Jeff Wall, Andy Warhol

Conceptions of “nothing” are one of the driving themes of twentieth-century art. One thinks of Piet Mondrian's reductivist approach to abstraction, Marcel Duchamp's contention that art resides in ideas, not objects, Mark Rothko's painterly reach for the sublime, Andy Warhol's affirmations of the vacuity of Pop culture. The Big Nothing will focus on themes of nothing, nothingness and negation in contemporary art and culture, surveying the legacy of these and other manifestations of absence made manifest in contemporary art. Artist include Gareth James, Jutta Koether, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince, Yves Klein, Bernadette Corporation, John Miller and James Welling, among others. Given its broad connotations, “nothing” provides general audiences with immediate access to looking at and thinking about the art of today.

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held May 1 - August 1, 2004. Curated and with essays by Ingrid Schaffner, Bennett Simpson, and Tanya Leighton.
