THE OTOLITH GROUP – Thoughtform, La forma del pensiero
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the MAXXI, a co-production with the MACBA, Thoughtform wants to try to give a key to penetrate deeply into the complex set of references, themes and motifs that inform the Otholith Group’s engaging videos. The London-based group draws from history, personal archives, and the cinéma d’auteur imagery to compose a narrative for their works. And the publication, by reproducing scripts and frames from the artists’ films, tries to reflect this constant, intense interplay of flowing voices.

Allan Kaprow, A Bibliography
This bibliography catalogues and illustrates, with a wide selection of images, Allan Kaprow’s entire body of published work: from his first artist´s book in 1962, to his last anthological projects in the 1990s. This lesser-known side of his oeuvre unfolds through 32 books, booklets, and pamphlets produced over a period of 40 years. Kaprow’s work moved along two parallel tracks: Happening – of which he was an unchallenged poineer, starting in the 1950s – and Activity Booklets, which functioned as a tool to help people understand and experience these perfomances.
The layout of his books, the originality of their structure, the literary stature of their texts, and their aesthetic quality as objects shifted his exploration of print into a higher realm, where the book became a fully-fledged work of art.

Mono.Kultur #29: Chris Taylor/Grizzly Bear
“Those times when your heart felt kind of warmed, like a glowing lightbulb was inside of you.”
It is a rare moment when a band or musician creates a sound that defies comparison – which is why American underground phenomenon Grizzly Bear have been on our wish list for some time. Creating a strange and strangely addictive sonic universe, the Brooklyn Quartet nonetheless and unexpectedly succeeded to attract not only a dedicated following, but also mainstream praise.
With bassist Chris Taylor having just released his first and irresistably groovy solo album as CANT, which turned out to be a grand surprise exercise in sloppy funk, all the more reason to make a wish come true and dedicate our latest issue #29 to the prolific and eclectic musician, producer and master cook, who was even kind enough to share the recipe for an entire dinner with us.
In a beautifully relaxed conversation, Chris Taylor talked with mono.kultur about the ,agic of making music, why perfect does not necessarily mean good and the meditative effect of motorcycling.
For this issue, Chris Taylor not only shared a dinner recipe with us, but also opened his archive of personal photographs for this issue. And since Taylor is a man of many talents, we thought it only appropriate to include a poster as cover to expand the world of Terrible into all directions.

The Surveyor. Fabian Reimann.
By the end of 1979, Sir Anthony Frederick Blunt was no longer Sir. The reason can be traced back to Cambridge where he was a student – and a member of a secret circle of men who were young and ardent advocates of Communism. Later they became known as the Cambridge Five. The first of them was exposed in 1951, the second one a year later. By this time, Blunt was professor of Art History and Adviser for the Queen’s Pictures and Drawings. He was in charge of managing the Royal Family’s collection of paintings. His focus was on French and Italian art, especially Poussin. In 1963, the third member of the Cambridge Five was uncovered. Like the others, he had sought refuge in Moscow. Blunt’s secret identity became known the year after, but it was not publicly revealed to avoid damage to the Queen. It took another 15 years for Margaret Thatcher to publicise it.
