Produced on the occasion of the exhibition 11 Los Angeles Artists, 30 September–7 November, 1971 at the Hayward Gallery, London.

Some of these younger artists, including John Altoon, Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, John McLaughlin, Bruce Nauman, Ed Ruscha, Ken Price and William Wegman, were little known in the US outside a small number of alternative galleries.

The System of Systems
Published by Rebecca Glyn-Blanco, Maria McLintock and Danae Io, 2017, 220 pages (b/w ill.), 14 × 22 cm, English
Price: €18

The System of Systems is a book published in conjunction with an exhibition which took place in Athens in May 2017. It interrogates how political powers in Europe are using technologies, from data collection to private companies, in bureaucratic systems which determine the fate of asylum seekers. Bringing together artists, designers, architects, academics, activists and practitioners, working across a range of mediums, the publication responds to the complex and knotty legal framework which individuals seeking asylum are forced to navigate, or, in many cases, elude.

With contributions by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, James Bridle, Kamil Dalkir, Design Unlikely Futures, Ayesha Hameed, Paul Feigelfeld, Melanie Friend, Eugenio Grosso, Olivia Head (Bread & Roses), Andrew Herscher, Thomas Keenan, Sohrab Mohebbi, Daniela Ortiz, Lucie Parker, Jill Power, Xose Quiroga, Daniel Trilling, Nana Varveropoulou.

Edited by Rebecca Glyn-Blanco, Maria McLintock and Danae Io.

Olaf Nicolai
Published by Florence Loewy, Paris, 2021, 24 pages, 17 × 23 cm, English
Price: €12

A poem written by the artist for the space of the book composed only of punctuation marks. For about twenty years, Olaf Nicolai (born 1962 in Halle, East Germany, lives and works in Berlin) has been producing conceptual artworks influenced by a philosophical background inherited from its formative years in East Germany, questioning the deadlocks of romanticism and Marxism. Alternating between photography, sculpture, publishing, design, installation and performance, Nicolai creates artistic situations whose purpose is to hijack the production patterns of the industrial world as well as its cultural, financial and social representations.
