ARTSPACE & Clouds announce a new publication:
---------------------------------
Volume 1.
Daniel Malone, Fancis Alÿs, Mark Adams, Eve Amstrong, Fiona Banner, Ann Veronica Janssens
---------------------------------
Available: 22 September 2008
ISBN: 978-09582789-5-9 RRP $75



Volume 1 is the first of the Volume series published by Artspace, Auckland, and Clouds. This publication considers retrospectively, and documents the first six months of programming during Brian Butler’s term as director (late 2005 to early 2006).

The artists included in Volume 1 are: Daniel Malone, Francis Alÿs, Mark Adams, Eve Armstrong, Fiona Banner and Ann Veronica Janssens. Volume 1 also presents photo essays by Mark Adams and Daniel Malone, and a reprint of Eve Armstrong’s artist’s book How to Hold a Trading Table.

The essays produced for Volume 1 are all by New Zealand-based writers. Matt Crookes addressed Alÿs’ survey show in the context of Mexico City, and Natalie Robertson wrote about Alÿs’ work in terms of Maui and the trickster; Allan Smith constructed a major essay that examines the figure of the pile in art production as a backdrop to Armstrong’s accumulations; Brian Butler wrote on Banner’s All the World’s Fighter Planes project; and Stella Brennan wrote at length about Janssens’ recent production.

Volume 1 was generously supported by Two Rooms, Brick Bay Sculpture Trail, Richard and Christine Didsbury, and Michael Lett. Artspace receives major funding from Creative New Zealand.
Volume 2 will be published soon after and includes documentation of shows from 2006: Kiosk: Modes of Multiplication, Local Transit, Headway: New artists show, Peter Robinson’s Ack, and Bekah Carran’s project.

Volume 1 will be available from selected bookshops and http://www.clouds.co.nz/.
Recommended retail NZD$75 (inc. GST)
