The first monograph on the artist Ulla Wiggen. This comprehensive catalogue contains new texts by Daniel Birnbaum, Peter Cornell, Sabeth Buchmann, and Caleb Considine. The publication reproduces nearly all of the artist’s paintings since 1963.

Produced on the occasion of Mathias Poledna’s exhibition Fine Important Post War and Contemporary at Galerie Buchholz, Köln, 12 May–18 June, 2022.

For this exhibition, the artist created a new suite of image-based works originating from Cold War era industrial photography. The materiality and visual regimes surrounding everyday and exclusive objects have frequently been at the centre of Poledna’s film installations as well as of auxiliary and independent works produced in a variety of media.

The publication contains poems by René Char which were set to music in Le Marteau Sans Maître by Pierre Boulez.

This 21st issue of F.R. David is edited by Will Holder with Andrea di Serego Alighieri. Seemingly more fragmented than usual, it includes contributions, quotes, found materials, and excerpts from Maggie Nelson, Charles Mingus, Octavia Butler, John Keats, Alice Notley, Paul Abbott, Bernadette Mayer, Fred Dewey, John Cage, Marion Keiner, Anne Carson, and others. An afterword by Nicolas Schoffer entitled “Microtime” concludes this wandering, inscrutable journey.

Tense is a never-realised title, originally intended for the Top Stories series. It was created by Lucy Lippard and Jerry Kearns in the early 1980s but published only now by Kunstverein Publishing, Amsterdam. The original edition was printed to accompany the exhibition Top Stories which focused on the publishing work of Anne Turyn at Kunstverein, Amsterdam, 2 April–26 June, 2021.

Unbidden Tongues #3.1: Adrian Piper is a poster to accompany Unbidden Tongues #3: Adrian Piper: Necessary Questions. This poster, housed in the archive of Kunstverein München and announcing Piper’s exhibition there in 1992, was reprinted in February 2022 on the occasion of Unbidden Tongues’ participation in On and Off the Grid, a yearly program of presentations and events dedicated to various form(at)s of publishing at the Schaufenster am Hofgarten, Kunstverein München.

More information on the original exhibition can be found here.

Produced on the occasion of the event Unbidden Tongues #6: Cutting Out Reading the New York Times, Saturday, 9 April from 4–6pm. The event unfolded over a newly conceived spoken-word version of Lorraine O’Grady’s collage series Cutting Out the New York Times. The initial work consists of 26 “cut-out” or “found” newspaper poems that O’Grady made on consecutive Sundays from June to November in 1977.

It is the sixth title from Unbidden Tongues, a series edited by Isabelle Sully that focuses on previously produced yet relatively uncirculated work by cultural practitioners busy with questions surrounding civility and civic life—particularly so in relation to language.
