Hatje Cantz Museums from the Inside. 60 years of CIMAM
On the occasion of its 60-year anniversary, CIMAM, the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art, its directors, and curators publish Museums from the Inside. From Suzanne Pagé and Rudi Fuchs, to David Elliott, Toshio Hara, Maria de Corral, Ken Lum to Manolo Borja-Villel and Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, this publication contains more than twenty interviews giving an insider's look at the 60 years in which modern art changed to post-modern art, and the term contemporary art, in turn, began to look almost obsolete. Following a historical introduction, looking back at fierce debates and controversies, a selection of important texts written since 2005 on decolonization, on Arte Útil, and on indigenous art gives insight into more recent fields of research. Texts by: Tuula Arkio, Zdenka Badovinac, Manuel J. Borja-Villel, Saskia Bos, Tania Bruguera, Maria de Corral, David Elliott, Wesley Enoch, Patrick Flores, Rudi Fuchs, Marc and Josée Gensollen, Olle Granath, Toshio Hara, Geeta Kapur, Marysia Lewandowska, Ken Lum, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, Bartomeu Mari, Ngahiraka Mason, Ivo Mesquita, Walter Mignolo, Ahmet Ögut, Alfred Pacquement, Suzanne Pagé, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, Margit Rowell, Rana Sadik, Donna de Salvo, Patricia Sloane, Slavs and Tatars, Hilke Wagner, Joan Weinstein.

Pace Publishing Prabhavathi Meppayil
"Meppayil’s is an artisanal practice executed in a contemporary South Asian context, in dialogue with Western modernism from the 1950s and ’60s" –Frieze Indian artist Prabhavathi Meppayil (born 1965) makes wall-mounted panels and sculptural installations containing subtle gestures that heighten the inherent qualities of her materials and tools. The artist's integration of craft-based labor and process-based art positions her work in unique dialogue with a complex history of material and artistic production, invoking artisanal legacies, affinities with Indian culture, and Minimalist and Postminimalist concepts. This book explores the past six years of Meppayil's output and echoes the subtle qualities of her work through its considered typography and design. Semitransparent and colored pages are inserted between sections to define the different exhibitions but also as another layer of materiality and counterpoise to the works. The layout of the inside pages balances the works and texts within a modernist grid, using the proportions of the page to create harmony and breathing room around the works.
