Prime Time offers a compelling introduction to the work of Serbian-born, Berlin-based artist Goran Djurovic (born 1952), whose grim and enigmatic paintings place human figures in absurd theatrical situations or show them performing seemingly pointless actions, in the idiom of Edward Hopper or Michaël Borremans.

Newtopia: The State of Human Rights looks at human rights through the work of 70 international contemporary artists. Many of these artists come from countries or regions where human rights has been or is a particularly pressing issue, such as the Arab World, China, India, Latin America, South Africa and Russia. Much more than a straightforward exhibition catalogue, Newtopia is composed of three sections. The first part assesses the current state of the human rights debate in essays and philosophical reflections; the second collects contributions by various international human rights activists, in which gripping testimonies and historical reconstructions alternate with socio-political analyses; and the third reproduces a selection of artworks. Among the artists included are Hans Haacke, Taryn Simon, Kendell Geers, Taysir Batniji, Alejandro Cesarco, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Woloo, Nikita Kadan, Pia Rönike, Kostis Velonis, Zhou Zixi, Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramovic, Wilchar, Simon Starling, Boniface Mwongi and An-my Lê.

Text by Larry FinkIncludes previously unpublished photographsFirst edition limited to 500 copiesThe cinematic background of French photographer Edouard Taufenbach is evident in these 34 collages that he created from a selection of anonymous photographs in the collection of screenwriter and director Sébastien Lifshitz. Taufenbach works with vintage and vernacular photographs by editing, splicing, and reassembling them. In the process, he transforms the image into a film strip-like composition that is reimagined and reanimated with mystery, time, and movement.

New Tribal Labyrinth offers a survey of works from the eponymous on-going project by Atelier Van Lieshout - the internationally recognized studio of Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout.New Tribal Labyrinth reflects on our extremely advanced and complex society, in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. In Atelier Van Lieshout's vision, this will lead to conflict and the subsequent emergence of a new world order, with groups of people organizingthemselves in tribes instead of nation-states. This new tribal world will see a return to farming and industry - which currently both have been banished from our society - and a re-establishment of our relationship with materials which now has been lost.

This book brings together striking botanical art of Indian origin spanning a period of 300 years, focussing on the 18th and 19th centuries.

They showcase the richness and variety of art commissioned from talented, mostly unknown, Indian artists who made a substantial contribution to the documentation of the flora of the Indian subcontinent. A foreword written by Sita Reddy places the collections in contemporary context. The book concludes with works from a new generation of botanical artists in India, who excite interest today.

These drawings date from the early years of his independent practice, Future Systems, in the 1970s, to his final ink drawings, executed in the mid-1990s. Featured projects range from design studies for the International Space Station, undertaken with NASA, to the Media Centre at Lord's Cricket Ground, in London, winner of the 1999 Stirling Prize.

¿ A comprehensive journey through the history of iron¿ Aims to become a main reference text on this subject¿ Of interest to enthusiasts of anthropology, iron-age and artThis book will be of interest to all who seek to further their understanding of iron artefacts: their corrosion, conservation, and pigments based on iron compounds, which mankind has used for millennia. The authors take the reader through some of the latest observations on the occurrence and role of compounds of iron - from the hot water undersea vents where the presence of iron pyrites is thought to be vital to the emergence of life on Earth, to the discovery of jarosite on the surface of Mars, possibly indicating the presence of water; from the pyrophoric surprises one can have when dealing with iron artefacts taken from beneath the sea to the use of a blue oxide of iron as a pigment in mediaeval wall paintings; from rusticles on the Titanic to the analysis of coloring matter on the Turin shroud.The great variety of iron compounds is examined (from the simple oxides to the exotic green rusts, from Prussian blue to yellow jarosites), the corrosion of iron in different environments is discussed and a critical review of the many attempts to conserve iron is presented. This volume will serve as a useful textbook on the subject for many years.
