Haiku by Schwabsky accompanied by new pastels by t thilleman. These poems are charactrerized as "Fat Haiku" because they stretch the usual line length as well as the purported moment of thought involved in their creation.

Over the course of her 40-year career, Jennifer Bartlett (born 1941) has tirelessly explored painting's expressive possibilities through a series of rigorous conceptual systems. Jennifer Bartlett: Epic Systems presents her three most ambitious, large-scale works in one volume: Rhapsody, Song and Recitative. All three are composed of hundreds of individual paintings Bartlett made on square steel plates coated in baked enamel and overlaid with a grid pattern. Rhapsody, Bartlett's career-defining work, was first shown in 1976; Bartlett's most recent large-scale work, Recitative (2011), finds the artist still productively working through the possibilities offered by the grid, this time to create an epic exploration of color that references Minimalism and the rule-based systems of Conceptual art. Epic Systems is the first publication to bring together these three critical works from the career of one of the most significant painters of the last half-century.

Juan Uslé (Santander) has been living in New York since the early ''90s, and is one of the most prominent figures of contemporary painting. The hypersensitivity described by Uslé in his work is a sort of memorable visionary state because it is painful. When we see certain paintings by Uslé, always in intense, bright and burning colours, we should be reminded of encounters with one of those states that take us out of our everyday way of perceiving, Each one of these events teaches us that everything we perceive can be captured in an entirely different way, given that even a small modification of the perceptual apparatus can cause it to vary.Some of Uslé''s paintings, the most complex, bring to mind looking through a kaleidoscope. It is useful to recall that these types of experiences, to which we are unaccustomed, are neither easy nor comfortable, and yet remain a crucial step away from being painful. In their excess they put pressure on our aesthetic expectations. This work would be the pictorial equivalent of Rimbaud''s famous quote: "dérèglement de tous les sens".

In this collection of critical essays, Barry Schwabsky re-examines the art produced since the 1960s, demonstrating how the achievements of 'high modernism' remain consequential to it, through tensions between representation, abstraction, and pictorial language.
