Through the meda of sculpture, painting and drawing, Toby Paterson’s new work addresses issues surrounding the acceptance or rejection of different kinds of architecture and the processes of aesthetic decision-making. A ‘new facade’ in the form of a large modular concrete wall will be built in CCA 1 confronting the viewer on entrance to the building. A series of new paintings on perspex and a wall painting relating to the fascinating work of Glasgow based architects Gillespie, Kid and Coia will be on display in CCA 2. CCA 3 will feature a large scale installation which draws on the ideaologies behind two utopian architectural forms in London and Poland. Paterson will also create a new permanent series of wall paintings for CCA.

Toby Paterson won the Becks Futures 2002 prize.

Nothing ever stands still in the idiosyncratic pictures by the young Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer. His subject matter is constantly changing to reveal stories in which any form of metamorphosis appears to have become possible. This book presents computer projections, sculptural elements and sketches all blended together to form one expansive installation.

For his exhibition at the Stiftung Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg, the artist developed a new synchronised video-projection consisting of three parts, a combination of computer-projections, sculptural elements and light. At the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, the artist created an intriguing combination of video-installations and wall-drawings.

Evocative watercolors by the South African painter presented in a beautifully designed little art book.

Apart from collages, paintings and objects, the oeuvre of the South African-born, Netherlands-based artist Marlene Dumas, who established herself as one of the foremost contemporary European artists, is primarily characterized by watercolors. Her suggestive works are mostly based on photographs from magazines which she blurs, crops or distorts. With this, Dumas explores the sexualized dynamics between picture, painter and viewer. Her openly sensualistic representations of human bodies and faces always deal with the central questions of life. The book at hand features a broad selection of the loaded and expressive watercolors by the artist, expounding on the primary topics in Marlene Dumas´ work: cliché pictures of the female, relations between the sexes, role plays, sexuality and pornography, guilt and violence, birth and death. A special feature is a number of collaborations - works which the artist created with her daughter Helena and the painter Bert Boogaard.

It is sound - and our culturally determined reactions to it - that forms the basis of Christian Marclay's genre and media crossing art. He is fascinated by the translation of the audible into the visual, and the theme that informs all of his work is the space between what we hear and what we see. This publication examines Christian Marclay's diverse work from 1980 to the present, exploring it within the varied contexts - music, art history, and popular culture - in which it exists. Essayists include UCLA Hammer Museum chief curator and exhibition curator Russell Ferguson; University of California, Los Angeles professor of art history Miwon Kwon; professor of technocultural studies at the University of California, Davis and a leading scholar of avant-garde music Douglas Kahn, and musician and sometime Marclay collaborator Alan Licht. It's the definitive volume on one of today's most influential artists.

Running alongside the seeming directness and simplicity of John Isaac's work there is a pervasive current of unease and anxiety that identifies our modern way of life and its thinking as somehow warped, disjunctive and off balance. Like the Surrealism of David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet', much of Isaacs' work seems to suggest that if you scratch at the surface of conventional reality, the a repressed can of worms - a world of ugly and uncomfortable truth - lies just below the thin plastic of our pre-packed modern sanitised world.

‘Because Tony Matelli uses a variety of trompe-l’oeil techniques to create a perfect hermetic realism, he is often compared to artists like … Ron Mueck and Charlie White. …But Matelli is as much an old-fashioned moralist as a new-fangled conceptual realist. He uses his prodigious skills…only as far as necessary to give his (usually sardonic) message a visceral punch. Matelli revels in the challenge of creating a lifelike replica of a world populated by patsys, nincompoops and cretins.’ From the introduction by Toby Kamps.
