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.
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
Produced on the occasion of Richard Tuttle’s participation in the group exhibition Das kleine Spiel zwischen dem Ich und dem Mir – Kunst und Choreografie at Kolumba Museum, Köln.
“The work of Fina Miralles—artist born in Sabadell, Barcelona—is not that well known. Her actions, understood from today’s perspective—were not really performances but the enactment of a necessary philosophy: to simply perceive the sun, and, then understand its energy; to interact and even tie yourself to a tree, to understand its form, its life; to be halfway buried on earth, to sense it… All simple but all aimed to what we need, a thought and an experiential system capable of surpassing the binary culture/nature.”—Chus Martinez
