Somber, ravishing panoramas of the D-Day beachesBetween 2003 and 2005 and again in 2019, Spanish photographer Eduardo Nave (born 1976) traveled to the beaches of Normandy, France, where the largest sea invasion in history took place during World War II. Known today as D-Day, the event is commemorated yearly as both a military victory and a devastating loss of life for thousands of soldiers. Nave's panoramic photographs of the historical beaches show a great sprawl of sand, the sea rendered with a nearly painterly texture as it drifts toward the shore. An atmosphere of somber beauty befalls the imagery: beachgoers sporadically emerge as shadowy figures from the fog, but the photographs mostly depict vast landscapes bereft of people. The emotionally affecting pictures, collected in this volume on the occasion of D-Day's 75th anniversary in 2019, remind readers of the lingering effects of history even when an environment has seemingly returned to normal.

This book by photographer Matías Costa shows a very wide selection of images from several decades of career and personal documents that define his nomadic and investigative character.

His photography is both a window and a mirror, inviting us to look and reflect in a world driven by memory and chance. The writers Leila Guerriero and Federica Chiocchetti and the curator Carlos Martín depict in their texts the inseparable life and work of this essential photographer.

This catalogue accompanies the Infraleve exhibition by Inma Femenía at Bombas Gens Center d’Art, and shows the result of the research around the perception determined by digital media and the resulting experience of physical reality. A perception that modifies the appearance of the forms and that Femenía tries to capture through the use of different surfaces.The pixelation, the deterioration and the dissolution of the images on our screens are the echo of a reality that fadesand reconfigures itself as in a shadow theatre. This “digital” approach brings us back to Marcel Duchamp’s concept of the infra-minor: moments related to the physical body and space, extracted from the lightness of everyday life and where the true essence of art would be found.The catalogue includes images from the exhibition, a text by Joseph Constable and a conversation between Julia Castelló and the artist, accompanied by images from the Femenía studio and some photographs of its creation.

The first thorough examination of Brazilian pioneer Lygia Clark's early neoconcrete workOne of the key Brazilian participants in Latin America's revolutionary midcentury concrete and neoconcrete movements, Lygia Clark (1920-88) is known throughout the world for her innovative approach to modular sculpture and forms of participatory art, as well as her paintings and engagement with art as a therapeutic practice. This volume focuses on the first decade of Clark's career, during which the artist experimented with new forms of representation based on concrete art's emphasis on the material character of shapes and colors. Clark's paintings oscillate between figuration and abstraction, with splinters of jewel-toned triangles and bold black-and-white parallelograms that interlock with one another on square canvases. Readers can follow the precision with which she created her geometrical paintings and identify the visual language of Clark's practice, which would continue to inform the kinetic sculptures later in her career.
