| Title: Ghost Town |
| ISBN10-13: 1938560248 : 9781938560248 |
| Published on the occasion of her exhibition at Maccarone Gallery in New York, Hanna Liden'a new publication Ghost Town documents a collection of large-scale photographs and mixed media sculptures, ranging from depictions of the artist herself (masked in plastic bags), ornamental vases of black spray-painted flowers, cement Jansport backpacks, black leather motorcycle jackets wrapped around plinths and a graffitied statue from Basilica Saint Denis in Paris. Ghost Town reflects on the experience of the urban environment â more specifically New York City â as one filled with the ubiquity of concealed behaviours and commodification. Thanks to Karma (New York). |

| Title: Happy Failure |
| ISBN10-13: 1938560167 : 9781938560163 |
| "AT TIMES EVEL KNIEVEL COULD SEEM LIKE THE WORLDâ S LEAST SUCCESSFUL SUICIDE. ONE JUMP LEFT HIM IN A COMA FOR A MONTH. BUT THE THRILL OF WATCHING HIM WAS MORE THAN JUST THE VOYEURISTIC DELIGHT IN SPLINTERED METAL AND CRACKED BONE; IT WAS MORE THAN JUST WITNESSING A MAN FALL. AN EVEL KNIEVEL JUMP WAS THE TRIUMPH OF THE UNPREPARED AND INSUBSTANTIAL, OF EVERYTHING THAT FLOATS - DREAMS, FANCIES, CAPRICES - AGAINST THE GRAVITATIONAL DRAG, THE ENDLESS QUANTIFIABLE VARIETIES, OF THE REAL, IT WAS A CASE OF HEROIC FAILURE TRUMPING MUNDANE SUCCESS. INDEED THINKING BACK ON IT, IT SOMETIMES SEEMED AS IF KNIEVEL WASNâ T AIMING TO LAND AT ALL. MORE THAT HE WAS SEEKING TO REACH THE ZENITH OF HIS JUMP AND STAY THERE, CAUGHT FOREVER IN THE FREEZE-FRAME OF THE CAMERAS, AS THE TITLE MUSIC PLAYED AND THE CREDITS ROLLED. BUT THE CAMERAS KEPT ROLLING AND KNIEVEL KEPT FALLING. AND EVERY TIME HE JUMPED, AND EVERY TIME HE FELL, IT MADE ME SO GODDAMN HAPPY. " |

| Title: In The Flowers, In The Beach |
| ISBN10-13: 1938560663 : 9781938560668 |
| In The Flowers - seven paintings of cropped nudes surrounded by flowers - and the beach - a giant canvas depicting a tree trunk, flowers, and a full bodied nude - are the latest in a series of works by Dunham to feature nude women. Itâ s a sequence that can be traced back to 2008, when the female body first started appearing in his sketchpads and on his canvases. Her sudden appearance seemed millennia away from his early abstract work, so how did he find her? How did she spring into existence? |

| Title: Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing 2004-2007 |
| By (author): Asher Penn |
| ISBN10-13: 0982100604 : 9780982100608 |
| Anthology of artist books self-published by Asher Penn between 2004 and 2007-an anthology that is effectively an artist book itself. Made between Providence, New York, Philadelphia and Vancouver, these 'zine-like publications are rephotographed page by page on top of painted works that Penn was producing at the time of their re-publication. In rephotographing these original editions on the surface of recent work, Penn cleverly illustrates the creative vertigo capable of creeping up on artists while they look back at the artist that they have become. The artist books collected in this anthology include the following: Just Say Maybe; Go Fuck Yourself With Your Atomic Bomb; Bad Hound, Buddha; School; Asher Mixtape Hell; Elisa Penn Hero One; Institutional Critique; The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants; Before And After; and (Untitled). |

| Title: Out of My Mindâ ¦Back in Five Minutes |
| By (author): Hanna Liden |
| ISBN10-13: 098210068X : 9780982100684 |
| â Nobody is perfect, I am nobodyâ A combination of the documentation of objects informing Lidenâ s work with installations and photography: shopping bags, trash heaps, cigarettes, crumpled cash once carelessly stuffed into a pocketâ each image is a trace of human existence specific to New York City and the shit it insouciantly peddles. An investigation of solipsism via purchased and discarded goods. Lidenâ s sculptures of black plastic bags over-filled with poured plaster are a consideration of those same accessories conceived to hide a pedestrianâ s taboo purchaseâ a need specific to the urban environment. The black plastic bag was the solution, just as the trash bag hides refuse and the body bag makes even death discreet. â Welcome to New York, thank you for dying here. â Published by Karma |

| Title: Self Portrait in Mirror #1 |
| ISBN10-13: 1938560078 : 9781938560071 |
| In 1969, Roy Lichtenstein completed Mirror #1, the first of more than fifty mirror paintings the artist went on to paint over the next four years, of all of Lichtensteinâ s mirror paintings, it is perhaps the most iconic. The mirror is both a metaphor for painting (art), and its bitter rival in the contest to â add to the stock of available realityâ . It is therefore of little surprise that Lichtensteinâ s choice of subject-matter offered him countless precedents, from the Arnolfini Portrait to Las Meninas to A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, to aspire and allude to. In this artist book, Jonathan Horowitz present a series of paintings inspired by Mirror #1. Each painting is made by a different individual, including Horowitz himself, and painted by eye from a small printout of the original. Only brushes and paint, and no additional mechanical apparatus, were used. While the dots in Lichtenstein are a sign of the absence of hand and also a sign of massive reproduction, the dots in the Horowitz paintings trace the bodyâ s presence, and the fact of their hand-made-ness. Horowitz stresses the tactile marks that make up the painting, just as Lichtenstein does. But the prize for each artist is different. Every mark within the Horowitz declares itself as human and subjective, a living and mortal self. Each mark bears the imprint of the individual who made it. Horowitz revives the first viewer, the maker, and makes them, though not literally visible, present and felt. |

| AND WHILE IT MIGHT BE TEMPTING OR EASY TO DISMISS ST. JOHNâ S WORKS AS PURPOSEFULLY OPAQUE AND INSCRUTABLE REMIXES OF ART HISTORY AND POP CULTURE, THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE WONDERFULLY SEDUCTIVE, DEEPLY PERSONAL, ACCESSIBLE CELEBRATIONS OF THE FAMILIAR AND SOMETIMES UNCOMFORTABLE LANDSCAPE OF AMERICANA. |
