Fox & Coyote
Daniel Gustav Cramer
Published by Daniel Gustav Cramer, Berlin, 2024, 20 pp. (b/w ill.), 20 × 28 cm, English
Price: €20

Every morning, a coyote roams its territory in Death Valley, California, tracing a large circle. Around the same time, a fox emerges from its shelter in Berlin and embarks on a similar route through the darkened city streets after sunset.

The publication brings these events together, forming an imaginative sculptural space inhabited by both similar-looking species.

Euforia
Tomaso Binga
Published by Lenz Press, Milan, 2024, 304 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 24 × 30 cm, English/Italian
Price: €45 (Temporarily out of stock)

Embedded in the language of visual and sound poetry, the practice of Tomaso Binga (Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, born 1931 in Salerno) is based on an ironic, insightful questioning of the idea of gender. In her work, this theme is not only a generator of identity, but also a way of looking afresh at the social roles, rights and opportunities traditionally available to women. Her decision to work under a male pseudonym from 1971 onwards was intended to parody male privilege and to provoke a barbed reflection on the political dimension of what it is to be a woman. Her attitude has served as a key marker within the gender equality issues at the center of the debate raging amongst the younger generations.

Derek Jarman
Published by JRP Editions, Geneva, 2024, 272 pp. hardcover (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, English
Price: €35 (Temporarily out of stock)

Conceived as a reader, this volume includes essays by cultural critic Elisabeth Lebovici, Claire Le Restif, Fiona Corridan, garden historian Marco Martella, and journalist and activist Cy Lecerf Maulpoix, a comprehensive interview with Jarman’s collaborator James Mackay, as well as testimonies—among other Jarman’s friends—by actress Tilda Swinton and musician Simon Fisher Turner, and an illustrated chronology.

Jarman’s militant Queer Paintings series (1992), his tender Super8 films from the mid-1970s, his emotional assemblages made at Prospect Cottage (Dungeness, Kent) whose cultivation was both a form of therapy and a metaphor for his own survival after he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986, are considered together to focus on Jarman as a visual artist—a painter and an assemblagist—and how his artistic practice can be understood as a catalyst for his manifold activities and visions.

Published following Derek Jarman’s exhibition Dead Souls Whisper (1986–1993) at Le Crédac, Ivry-sur-Seine, in 2021.

Suzon
Raimundas Malašauskas
Published by KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Grazer Kunstverein, Graz; Kunstverein Publishing, Amsterdam; Baltish Arts Magazine, Vilnius; and Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2024, 132 pp. (b/w ill.), 12 × 19.5 cm, English
Price: €22

Edited by Tom Engels, Yana Foqué & Krist Gruijthuijsen, preface by Maxine Kopsa.

SUZON—both a reprint of Raimundas Malašauskas sold-out book Paper Exhibition from 2012 and a new collection of writings by the author that have happened since—offers a window onto Malašauskas’ worldview, based on collective improvisation, congregation and continuous drift. It includes essays, exhibition guides, personal letters, song lyrics, an opening speech and a cocktail recipe offering a glimpse of what perhaps in a few years we will look back upon as L’esprit du temps.
