Michel François’ importance on the contemporary art scene is now undisputed and he is more widely acknowledged by art institutions, audiences and critics alike. His elusive way of working can bend any material to his needs, turning a photograph into something profoundly sculptural. This exhibition catalogue is the most detailed to date on François’ work and is compiled by the artist himself and graphic designer Roger Willems and focuses on his sculptures, installations, photo works and po...

‘100MJ’ concerns an intuitive and personal drawing project about identity by Dutch artist Bas Kosters. The book shows a series of a hundred full page drawings based on the image of Michael Jackson.

Batia Suter’s work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. ‘Parallel Encyclopedia’, which she conceived between 2004 and 2007, contains a precise composition of numerous images taken solely from other books. Significant underlying themes expressed in the Amsterdam-based, Swiss artist’s practice are the “iconification” and “immunogenicity” of old images, and the circumstances by which they assume or beco...
