Ground & Figure, Figure & Ground
This is a remarkable and extensive monograph on the work of the Dutch artist and sculptor Marien Schouten (b. 1956, NL). Like a director, the artist was in complete control of the creative process, from the composition and autobiographical structure of the texts to the graphic design and layout of the book. This makes 'Ground & Figure, Figure & Ground' a comprehensive overview, and a unique encounter with the artist. With text contributions by Hans Janssen, Ulrich Loock, Ernst van Alphen, and Marien Schouten. 'Increasingly I accepted the impulses of intuition to direct my choices. I see it as the artist’s role to make the subconscious less opaque, to slightly alter its borders and make them porous. One way of familiarizing yourself with a motif which meaning you don’t fully understand, is repetition. A motif, when repeated in different contexts and combined with other motifs or performed in various media, accumulates its own history. Each repetition reveals the motif’s characteristics in a new light. Over time, the motif becomes more familiar and articulated. The need to analyze its origin becomes less, it has become a new reality.' - Marien Schouten

Productive Archiving
Artistic Strategies, Future Memories, and Fluid IdentitiesProductive Archiving discusses a variety of problems archival organizations. It mainly focuses on the following three issues with archival organizations that are usually overlooked: first, the question of inclusion in or exclusion from the archive; second, the loss of individuality and specificity in the archive, the danger of homogenization; and third, that archiving may become a form of pigeonholing, boxing specific identities into a confined space. Avoiding the archive because of these problems is not an option, because archival organization is a basic symbolic mode on the basis of which we organize our lives, the past, the present and the future. What this book suggests is that it is best to explore constructive and creative solutions for these problems. Especially artistic archives seem to be able to develop these possible solutions, because they offer speculative, unexpected ways to order, select, and narrate specific information, and bring about new connections and archival organizations.

Seven Logics of Sculpture
Encountering Objects Through the SensesSculpture as a specific medium is rarely investigated within a deeply cultural, philosophical context, nor within visual art itself. Whilst discussions about installation art, performance art, or other 3D art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical, material, or thematic frameworks. This is a loss for our understanding of art in general, and of sculpture in particular. In order to assess contemporary art practices, one should have a better understanding of the logics that are at work within sculpture as a medium, and how they differ from other art forms. This book explores ‘seven logics’ of sculpture—not as a historical overview, but with a contemporary analytical approach, drawing from literature, philosophy, psycho-analysis, architecture, and mundane daily culture—that help understand specific manifestations of sculpture and the active perception by the viewer. It relates to aspects such as the senses, the skin, the body, objecthood, narrative dynamics, the shaping of space, fragmentation, and montage. Seven Logics of Sculpture opens up new ways of looking at, understanding, and appreciating sculpture, placing the medium at the heart of art’s experience; how sculpture can be shaped, assembled, encountered, seen and embodied.

Shame! and Masculinity
Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘westerse’ opvatting van mannelijkheid. Shame! and Maculinity onderzoekt deze beide standpunten. Het bekijkt de representatie van verschillende aspecten rondom mannelijkheid, zoals seksualiteit, naaktheid, vaderschap, mannelijk geweld, verkrachting, fascisme en mannen en oorlog. Het boek toont verschillende kunstwerken die de finesses en tegenstrijdigheden inherent aan deze sociaal-culturele constructies en realiteiten adresseren. Shame! and Masculinity is hybride in genre; korte verhalen worden gecombineerd met wetenschappelijke essays, persoonlijke getuigenissen en provocerende en intieme kunstenaarsbijdragen. Het boek reflecteert op de vele betekenissen van mannelijkheid, vanuit uiteenlopende perspectieven. Deze ‘mannelijkheids’-kwesties, die een pregnante rol spelen in de hedendaagse samenleving, maar ook in onze persoonlijke ervaring, in de geschiedenis en in ons eigen lichaam, worden zo gedifferentieerd onderzocht om zo ruim baan te bieden aan andere, en nieuwe vormen van verbeelding.

Geert Lap Specific Objects
Thanks to his great technical know-how and boundless craftmanship, the Dutch ceramicist Geert Lap (1951-2017) left an oeuvre that is cherished around the world in many museums and private collections. This book is the result of a unique photo project. Erik and Petra Hesmerg spent years travelling the world to document Geert Lap’s work. They were granted exclusive access to the homes of private collectors and their photographs bear witness to the diverse and sometimes astonishing combinations the collectors created to exhibit Lap’s work in their homes. Geert Lap – Specific Objects also includes highly detailed, full-page photographs that show the prominent position accorded to Lap’s oeuvre in the collections of major Dutch museums. Access to the artist’s private archive was given to Titus M. Eliëns. His biographical essay provides a penetrating insight into the life and work of this perfectionist pur sang, who devoted his life to the consummate ceramic form. Geert Lap. Specific Objects is completed with contributions by Ernst van Alphen and Jac Geurts.
