The work of Lee Lozano (1930-1999) is one of the best-kept secrets in today’s contemporary art world. She was a woman artist who established herself and her work in New York in the 1960s in a world dominated by men and then decided to give it all up in the early 1970s and moved to Dallas. Lozano’s work, even in the short period she was active in New York, encompassed, and in many ways mastered, a wide range of styles from text works to abstract paintings, drawings to everyday activities declared art. She knew and collaborated with some of the most famous names of minimalism and conceptualism, but she always held herself a little apart. She fought for her own idealisms, matched it with her disillusionment and questioned feminism even as she made drawings of the absurdities of a patriarchal world where tools, machines, weapons and money dominate the imagination. Her later Language Pieces can now be understood as some of the most radical expressions of the conceptual movement at that time.

This publication assembles images from her work and archives to gether with a series of texts that outline her development as an artist from the 1950s and focus on particular activities or reminiscences. There is also the partial transcript of a unique recording of a lecture Lee Lozano gave at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1971 shortly before she left the art world.

In total, this book sheds light on a fascinating individual artist and also adds another point of view to the rich, complex story of the NewYork art scene in the 1960s and its continued resonance in our culture today.

Max Neuhaus began his career as a musician, a percus-sionist. He continues to use sound as his medium. Why. then, do we find his works in the world of art, in places dedicated to seeing, not to listening? Why, in other words, does so much of his work appear on sites, indoors and out, where we would expect to find painting and sculpture? I think answers to these general questions about Neuhaus entire oeuvre must precede the attempt to say anything in particular about specific pieces. We must account for what appears to be an immense, overarching anomaly before taking up the puzzles presented in turn by each of Neuhaus various works.

Capsule is a huge new offering from the team at KALEIDOSCOPE, a glossy, chunky, spiral bound design mag—‘indulging in a lavish physicality’—and refusing to be put in a single box. It covers interiors and architecture, fashion and technology, ecology and craft in order to assess and explore the relationship between design and consumption.

A hybrid between a magazine and a book, paying homage to a lineage of Italian radical design publications while indulging in a lavish physicality, Capsule is released annually during Milan Design Week.

It features three different covers (and three different-coloured spiral bindings): the exceedingly comfortable-looking ‘Willo Perron’s Bed-in’, ‘Paulin Paulin Paulin in Tokyo’, and ‘Working Out with Barragán’.

Also inside, Snowcrash, John Pawson, Kazuyo Sejima, Dieter Rams, Italian Car Design, Nifemi Marcus-Bello, Brutalisten, and much more.

IWAKAN Volume 06: 

Masculinity — or perhaps our mistaken understanding of it — as an ideology has entrenched itself so deeply into every system that runs our society. These unequivocally male-dominated systems stare at us on a daily basis, represented by the patriarchy and misogyny we witness regularly in acts like men buying women drinks at the dinner table; reaffirming their unwavering presence and unforgiving rules. While some may find it easy to accept the system, others struggle to comply. We are those people who struggle. Those people who are tired of these outdated norms for masculinity, who are tired of it being understood solely through the lens of violence and dominance, and who are tired of the emptiness that comes from humans constantly being reduced to caricatures of themselves and forced to participate in this ludicrous system called patriarchy. Masculinity does not belong solely to those who have a penis, it is something that should be accessible to all. That is why, we want to find a new understanding of it, one that is fresh, revitalized, rich, inclusive, and diverse. It is time that masculinity changes, it is time that masculinity is liberated.

Dear friends,

We’re pleased to welcome you to an enchanting evening filled with poetry and music at our courtyard, this coming Friday, June 16th, from 18:30 onwards.

We’ll begin the evening with the remarkable Robert Stastny, a Berlin-inspired artist, who’ll read out pieces from his acclaimed Portraits. He’ll also give us an exclusive glimpse into his latest works. Following Robert’s spellbinding readings, we’ll transition into a vibrant musical performance by Yellow Hotel.

Poetry is an adventure, in itself. A voyage to somewhere, where the world of men and women – and anything you want to be – has less of an influence.

Music connects onto poetry naturally, Yellow Hotel is Roy Estel Hughes, recently transplanted from Austin to Berlin, and Robert.

Together we will travel – from poetry, to music, to somewhere else.

So, come join us at Motto for a relaxed evening filled with amusing poetry, music, books, and refreshing drinks. We can’t wait to see you there!
