Shirt; Vertical Doorway/Johnny Clone/Robot Asimov/Mangosteen Mangosteen AKA Barry Mango. Soon, they will probably be something else entirely. Theirs is a fluid set of identities, where roles are created and destroyed, never confirmed for long, and abruptly transformed without warning. Text by Thomas Jeppe

Summary:
«Sweet Sweat», the only novel by Belgian artist Justine Frank, is unusual, to say the least a blend of feminism, pornography, Judaism, and art, written in French in 1931. Its heroine is a Jewish girl named Rachel, born in the South of France, who has an outstanding talent for debauchery and crime. She takes up with the sybaritic Count Urdukas and sets out with him on an odyssey of pleasure and corruption marked by bizarre events in which horror and humor mingle. This comprehensive new edition of Frank s novel includes an essay and an extensive biography by Israeli American writer and artist Roee Rosen and a timeline tracing key moments in Frank s life, providing a definitive analysis of this once-scandalous novel and its historical and cultural contexts.

Summary:
Over the past 30 years, Canadian artists Carole Conde and Karl Beveridge have developed a collaborative practice of working with organized labor to reveal the increasingly complex relationships between paid work and global, ethical and environmental concerns. This volume, with 112 color reproductions of Conde and Beveridge's major projects, is the first comprehensive examination of the pair's influential work. Their collaboration began in 1976 when--through their involvement with the New York collaborative Art & Language and the nascent Conceptual art movement--they turned from solo production and formalist art-making to social engagement, which combines left-oriented discourses with the artists' formal and technical innovations, and which presaged the currently prevalent practice in which art-making is understood as an articulation of human conditions and a tool of community formation. This volume includes a chronology of their practice and essays by Jan Allen, D'Arcy Martin, Declan McGonagle, Allan Sekula, Dot Tuer and Bruce Barber and an extensive interview by Clive Robertson.

Encyclopaedic in form, Marina Roy’s ''Queuejumping'' eloquently unspools manifestations of capitalist, colonialist, agrologic, and scientific impulses, all within the context of the letter Q. Roy enlists art writing, poetry, lists, found images, and essays on humankind’s hunger to supersede the Other (in order to uphold what she calls ''the vertically directed world'') in this artfully academic work. From queens, queers, quadrupeds, and the Quran, to quick, quiddity, and quotidian, and from millions of years of organic decay to contemplating contemporary art, dive into the origins of hegemonic forces, what is lost by winning, and what can be gained by stepping out of line.

Wouter Davidts’s analysis of ‘Untitled’ (2014) sets the tone, a work that seems to anticipate the complex interplay between drawing, sculpture, and architecture apparent in Metten’s other projects, where he gives spaces with a distinct social programme and scale a sculptural transformation. With photos by Jan Kempenaers and drawings by Kris Kimpe and Samyra Moumouh.

Summary:
The Ravestijn Gallery brings together new work by Dutch artists Ruth van Beek and Mariken Wessels. Their mutual interest in exploring the act of creation and their interventions in existing material overlap to form a powerful reflection on the female artist. In Van Beek’s spatial installation of collages, ordinary objects take on a body and life of their own. She explores the thin borders between studio and domestic life, the repetition of daily tasks, and the origins of her interest in manuals and household books. In the new series of sculptures and collage works by Wessels, it is the female body that becomes matter. With poems by Basje Boer and an essay by Robert Petzoldt.
