Things That Go Through Your Mind When Falling
Artist/Author: Forced Entertainment | Editor: Adrian Heathfield | Reference: P4306 | ISBN: 978-3-95905-385-3 | Type: Publication

Making performance works for four decades, British experimental theatre collective Forced Entertainment has become globally renowned for its singular aesthetic and audacious events, melding narrative fragments with strange acts, broken poetry, audience provocations, and comcial failure. With its low-fi theatre, intimate text-based works, and epic durational spectacles, the group has profoundly influenced the international performance scene, evoking and testing the politics of contemporary life.

Small Acts: Performance, the Millennium and the Marking of Time
Artist/Author: Adrian Heathfield | Reference: P4264 | ISBN: 1-901033-57-0 | Type: Publication

Documents the work of fourteen performance artists who marked the personal and political resonances of the new Millennium in a series of site-specific actions. Contrasting with the epic, populist and homogenising nature of the official celebrations, these works focused on forgotten and ephemeral experiences, enacting small but significant interventions in the public sphere.

Becoming an Artwork
Artist/Author: Boris Groys | Reference: 4255 | ISBN: 978-1-5095-5197-2

Before we begin to practice self-design, we find ourselves already designed by the gaze of others. That is why the practice of self-design mostly takes a critical and confrontational turn. We want to bring others to see us in the way we want to be seen – not only during our earthly life but also after our death. This is a complicated struggle, and the aim of this book is to describe and analyze it.

Nomography
Artist/Author: Eloy Fernández Porta | Reference: P4254 | ISBN: 978-1-5095-4395-3 | Type: Publication

This book proposes a provocative interpretation of the relationship between the normative imagination defined as a cognitive mode characteristic of the era of affective capitalism. Porta analyzes gender, fashion, artistic creation, and surveillance from the perspective of a regulatory drive, a continuously renovated and imperative push for normalcy that now comes not from the state or mass media, but from citizens themselves. These, united in a spontaneous popular court, armed with smartphones, and driven by a juridical compulsion, become the axes of societies of control. In this way, the distinctive pathology of our times gives rise to a globalized game: normopathy for all.

RESHAPE: A Workbook to Reimagine the Art World
Artist/Author: Various | Reference: P4241 | ISBN: 978-90-743-5157-7 | Type: Publication

This Workbook is the result of RESHAPE – REflect, SHAre, Practice, Experiment, a bottom-up, collaborative research and development project that brought together artists, art workers, and organisations from Europe and the southern Mediterranean to create alternative ways of working towards a fairer arts ecosystem. The project was a response to the challenges of the art sector, infusing its practices with fairness, solidarity, and sustainability and aligning them with with society and its evolutions. The authors – including artists, scholars, and critical thinkers – analyse and contextualise current challenges, thus outlining the spirit of our times that informs and inspires the prototypes.

America: The Troubled Continent of Thought
Artist/Author: Avital Ronell | Reference: P4239 | ISBN: 978-1-5095-6027-1 | Type: Publication

What position does America occupy in the recent history of western philosophy?

At a time when the syntagm “America” has come to crystallize a certain understanding of the world order, interrogating the place that it occupies in our intellectual and haunted tradition is also a way to engage critically with the violence attached to it. America’s self-understanding involves violence, but this violence may well be different from what we imagined.
