• Fieldwork, The Complete Reader

Sixty-six objects from Ryan Gander’s collection make up his major new works Fieldwork 2015 (2015) and Fieldwork 2016 (2016). Each object passes by a window, one after another, on a constantly looping conveyor belt. A National Trust sign protecting ‘Culturefield’, a chess set, a pair of dead pigeons, a kitchen sink. Found, fabricated, everyday and exceptional, these objects may represent the richness of our existence, mapping its totality one object at a time. Through this work and a series of writings, Fieldwork serves as a reader to Gander’s on-going and ever-evolving practice.

• Auto-Destructive Art: Metzger at AA

‘Auto-destructive art is a comprehensive theory for action in the field of the plastic arts in the post-second world war period.

Auto-destructive art is committed to a left-wing revolutionary position in politics, and to struggles against future wars.’

• Architecture Without Content Edited by Kirsten Geers et al. – Out of Print

Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. Only the economy of the envelope determines the success of the building. Its radical frugality does not make it less critical. Economy of means is the weapon of choice to express its ideology. Architecture Without Content finds its roots in the Big Box. Architecture Without Content is too big to ignore.

• The Construction of an Image
: Bas Princen

Photography has become content, instantly uploaded and peer-reviewed in ‘likes’. The Construction of an Image assumes the opposite stance wherein Dutch photographer Bas Princen takes a single image – Ringroad, Houston – to deconstruct and discuss in detail. By studying one photograph, time is given over to process to enable insight into the mind of the photographer and to make manifest the chronology of a project’s conception to its realisation.
