JOHN RULE Autumn 2018 1 The 1907 Paris Exhibition Paul Cézanne / Rainer Maria Rilke ART Edited by Bettina Kaufmann In October 1907, an exhibition commemorating the French painter Paul Cézanne, who had died one year earlier, took place in the context of the Salon d’Automne in Paris. Rainer Maria Rilke, then 32 years old and living in Paris serving as secretary to the sculptor Auguste Rodin, visited the exhibition several times and wrote about his impressions in a series of letters to his wife, the sculptor Clara Rilke Westhoff in Germany. The poet’s reports evince his deep emotional shock evoked by Cézanne’s art. In the last years of his life Rilke acknowledged the painter and his artistic concept to be his aesthetic model. The Swiss art historian Bettina Kaufmann has reconstructed, June 2018 for the first time, the list of all paintings exhibited for this publication. 9783829608473 | £39.95 Providing, for the first time, an integrated view of all painting of the Hardback | 200 pp | 260 x 200mm exhibition and their echo in Rilke’s letters, The 1907 Paris Exhibition 69 col & b/w ills reveals the inter relation between visual art and its influence on this Rights: UK & Eire poet in a way previously unpublished.

Tradition and Creation exhibition at the Museum of Fine arts, Budapest. The essays written by the invited lecturers (all internationally renowned scholars) examine different aspects of Cézanne’s relationship to the past from a new, original point of view which focused on different themes and issues that could not be dealt with in the exhibition and its catalogue.

Any encounter with the unknown seemed to always inspire Emil Nolde’s artistic work. In his oeuvre there are great number references to the grotesque, the fantastic and the exotic – a fascination he shared with Paul Klee. Grotesques enabled both to critically comment on contemporary events. Fantastic depictions in Nolde’s work stem from the serious examination of the unknown and uncanny and, accordingly, take a central position in his work, while in Paul Klee’s work, the realm of ghosts, demons and other hybrid beings as an exciting parallel world seems to rather serve a kind of edification. The volume at hand presents works by Nolde that November 2018 until now might have been only of marginal interest, but were of great 9783864422508 | £40.00 importance and deserve our full attention.

ART An Essay on Art and Systems Edited by Lynn Kost During the 1960s, the art world’s interest in systems grew quite conspicuously. It ran parallel to the social upheavals and the fundamentally critical view of the system by the '68 movement. Rather more consequential, from today’s point of view, were the technological advances. The development of cybernetics, communication networks and computer systems facilitated extensive networks, powerful data processing and turned the exchange of information into an important social and economic factor. The exhibition and this publication consider art of the 1960s and early 1970s with regard to systems thinking, and conceive it as communication and as a critique of the August 2018 system. It is above all the works of Minimal Art and Conceptual 9783864422553 | £40.00 Art that dealt with the principles of linguistic communication Paperback | 200pp | 270 x 210 mm systems and thereby with differentiations and repetitions.

Austria, Switzerland & Netherlands. The works formally used the principles of systems thinking, to then debate them in terms of content. The viewers had to take up position both spatially and intellectually, and thus turned into significant parts of the works. Fifty years later, systems thinking is more existent than ever, and through digitization it has become indispensable in our understanding of industrial societies. Complex systems create networks of knowledge, evaluate data, control information flows and determine decision-making and production processes. They form our environment in which we mainly strive to achieve system compatibility, availability and scope. The exhibition and publication show representative works of the 1960s and 1970s in combination with contemporary art that examines nowadays systemically important issues around the nature of processes, data processing, information distortion and system compatibility.

Driven by his keen interest in Scandinavian tradition, not least in response to the adverse times, Jorn has tirelessly painted and written, while also creating an extensive body of ceramic works. In his paintings he uses an exceptionally powerful imagery that oscillates between abstraction and figuration. Throughout his career, Asger Jorn was in contact with many of his fellow artists, co-founding June 2018 member of the CoBrA group and later of the Situationist International. 9783864422461 | £33.50 The extensive book offers a comprehensive
