The Skins of Alca Impennis (1992–2017)
Jochen Lempert
Published by Sprengel Museum, Hannover, 2017, 78 pages (b/w ill.), 23 × 18.8 cm, English
Price: €33 (Out of stock)

The Skins of Alca impennis (1992–2017) is an ongoing series of photographs depicting the extinct bird, the Great Auk (Alca impennis). Over the last two decades, Lempert has photographed 52 of the 78 specimens that remain in collections internationally—entering the bureaucracies that surround these birds, gaining permission from those appointed to administer and conserve them for posterity, and uniformly representing their profiles. The book is published on the occasion of Lempert’s solo show Honeyguides held at the Sprengel Museum in October 2017. Images of the bird’s taxidermized heads alternate with blank pages, for the still missing photographs of this ongoing project.

Cathy Wilkes
Published by Tate Liverpool, Liverpool, 2015, 64 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 23.5 × 17 cm, English
Price: €20

Produced on the occasion of Cathy Wilkes’ 2015 exhibition at the Tate Liverpool, the largest and most comprehensive display of work to date, bringing together more than a decade of the artist’s acclaimed work, including several of her large-scale sculptural installations alongside paintings, works on paper and archive materials.

Best known for her imaginary environments which recall poetic visions, her installations evoke places of loss or transformation. Her work is occupied by beings, often of unspecified gender: infants, elders and animals. It includes collections of objects and treasured ingredients accumulated from daily life, for example baking parchments, cloths, towels, cups and plates and biscuits.
