They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind or like dust whirling before a storm
Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings
Published by 1856, Melbourne, 2020, two offset lithographs reproducing pencil drawings (b/w ill.), 42 × 29.7 cm, English
Price: €20

They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind or like dust whirling before a storm was produced as a commission by British artists Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings for 1856, with proceeds going towards future programming.

This edition of two prints brings together the Michelangelo sketch, Archers Shooting at a Herm, with a scene of modern revolt against a hostile white police force, depicting the tense relationship between states of power and the LGBTQ+ community. Quinlan & Hastings’ diptych represents an unruly clash of registers such as the disciplining power of the state, here depicted in a moment of crisis, and the rebellious energy of the people who protest and occupy public spaces.

A special edition signed and numbered by the artists can be purchased directly from 1856, details can be found here.

pool 4
Nora Turato
Published by MOMA, New York, 2020, unpaginated (colour & b/w ill.), 14.8 × 20 cm, English
Price: €50 (Out of stock)

pool 4 is the title both of a performance and a book produced for MoMA, in which the artist Nora Turato collects language from a range of sources. These “pools” of texts, pulled from the Internet, media headlines, advertisements, conversations, books, commercial products, and her own thoughts, are assembled and arranged, with no logic or narrative structure, into a growing script that Turato memorizes and performs. The publication presented in the space serves simultaneously as prop, set, exhibition, archive, and artist’s book. Designed by Sabo Day.

Beyond the Great Divide: Essays on European avant gardes from East to West
Tomáš Štrauss
Published by les presses du réel, Dijon, 2020, 192 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 23 cm, English
Price: €20

This new publication, the third in the ongoing series of aica press / Les presses du réel’s publications, Art Critics of The World, is the first English-language anthology of writings by the Slovak critic, Tomáš Štrauss.

Tomáš Štrauss (Budapest, 1931–Bratislava, 2013) was a key theoretician of the post-war neo-avant-gardes in “socialist” Central and Eastern Europe. “A critical reading of his texts unavoidably demands that we situate them in the context of that theory that began to establish itself in the second half of the 1990s, and whose chief younger proponents included Boris Groys, Igor Zabel, Piotr Piotrowski and Edit András”—Daniel Grúň
