Frederick Weston and Samuel R. Delany come together for a wide-ranging dialogue, reflecting on their overlapping histories in Times Square, the deep impact of AIDS on their creative practices, and the ever-changing intersections of race, sex, language, and art.

With additional contributions by Bruce Benderson, Svetlana Kitto, and Tavia Nyong’o.

Julie Ault and David Deitcher illuminate the life and work of the influential art historian, New Museum curator, and Visual AIDS co-founder William Olander (1950–1989). Olander’s exhibitions challenged oppressive institutional boundaries, blew open dichotomies, and boldly confronted discrimination, sexual difference, and AIDS, shaping curatorial practice for decades to come.

Committed to using the New Museum as a platform to challenge the ideological functions of the art world, Olander invited members of ACT UP to design a multimedia installation for the museum’s window on Broadway in 1987. The first museum project to unflinchingly address the AIDS epidemic and the political figures who enabled it, Let the Record Show… became the centerpiece of art historian and critic Douglas Crimp’s impassioned call for “new cultural practices” to respond to AIDS.

A reissue of Ralph Manheim’s translation of Handke’s 1986 novel Repetition, previously out of print for a quarter of a century.

“In Repetition, Handke allows the peculiar light which illuminates the space under a leafy canopy or a tent canvas to glisten between words, placed here with astounding caution and precision; in doing so, he succeeds in making the text into a sort of refuge amid the arid lands which, even in the culture industry, grow larger day by day.” W. G. Sebald

First anthology of the writings by the American painter Steven Parrino. Predominantly a painter, in his oeuvre Parrino developed a unique visual idiom that, on the one hand, draws on various subcultural movements and, on the other, displays clear references to the history of visual art of the twentieth century and beyond. Parrino’s work is defined by an unconditional will to be free that stems from American biker culture and is also influenced by punk rock existentialism.

A series of 32 artist books in a boxset, in the comic book format, conceived in tribute to the late Steven Parrino. Each volume is signed by a different artist, linked in some way to Steven Parrino, by projects and exchanges, by friendship, by reciprocal inspiration. Black Noise celebrates a format that Steven Parrino was fond of, a culture that was familiar to him. The only constraint upon the authors invited in spring 2005 was the format and the title of the overall publication. Some directly evoke Steven Parrino’s personality, whereas others produce a less referential contribution.

Produced on the occasion of the awarding of the Manor Art Prize to Linda Semadeni and the subsequent exhibition at the Bündner Kunstmuseum, 18 February–3 July, 2023.

The book documents a comprehensive drawing series from the year 2023. Underlying these drawings is a performative investigation. In each line, in every mark are Linda Semadeni’s movements. On several hundred sheets she breaks up word combinations into their fragments by contortion and repetition such as “I’m not a nice girl” or “I’m a hot nice girl”. Plastic, spray cans, fire, photo paper, hair, felt pens and bubble wrap are used. Unpredictability is the creative principle.

With texts Alan Longino and Damian Jurt.
