Anthony Froshaug:
Typography & Texts / Documents of a Life
Robin Kinross (editor)
Published by Hyphen Press, London, 2000, 2 volumes: 254, 270 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, English
Price: €140

Presents the work and life of this essential typographer, until now too little known outside the circle of his friends and students. Froshaug was a deep and charismatic thinker-practitioner, whose insights return us to the fundamentals of typography. The book consists of two interacting volumes: the solid record of the work is placed against the contingencies of the life. A traditional monograph is unsettled by an exploration in documentary.

Are Plants People?
Mark Borthwick
Published by Purple Books, Paris, 2000, 32 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 11 × 15 cm, English/French
Price: €130

Mark Borthwick belongs to a generation of photographers who, in the 1990s, changed fashion’s imagery. Breaking the conventions of fashion photography, he developed a style that was at once intuitive and personal, integrating elements, props, attitudes, that touch contemporary art, environmental issues, interior and architectural design, and a reverence for clothes as works of art.

Drawings
Marian Zazeela
Published by Kunst im Regenbogenstadl, Polling, 2000, 144 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 24.5 × 23 cm, English/German
Price: €90

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Marian Zazeela: Drawings at Kunst im Regenbogenstadl, Polling, 2000. Over the past six decades, Zazeela was a central figure of the New York avant-garde. Her expansive practice encompassing painting, calligraphic drawing, film, light projection, stage design, sculpture, and light environments applied rigorous formal procedures to enact states of transcendence.

In 1962, Zazeela produced a series of highly singular drawings that charted the course of her subsequent work. Employing both improvisation and an increasing array of rigorous compositional techniques, Zazeela’s ornamental shapes render the page a concentrated visual field of startlingly complex design.

Low Slung
Tom Burr
Published by Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig & Sternberg Press, Berlin, 2000, 64 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 27 cm, English / German
Price: €21

Video peepshows, porno theatres, garden pavilions—with subtle insight, Tom Burr (*1963) sheds light upon what is marginalized, or not immediately recognizable. His works, which make reference to Minimal art’s object sculptures, redefine them in current socio-economic “queer” aspects. By acting as an intermediary between formal stringency and socio-political content, Tom Burr’s works overcome Hal Foster’s criticism that Minimal art tended to “handle the viewer as historically innocent and sexually indifferent.” With comprehensive texts and illustrations, this book features an artist who belongs among those who have shaped a new form of institutionally critical art.

With texts from Tom Burr, Carina Herring and Juliane Rebentisch.
