W. G. Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in an autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.

Museum Jorn in Silkeborg, Denmark, commemorates the 50th anniversary of Le Corbusier's passing with an exhibition and an academic conference. The coinciding book will reflect both, the exhibition's content and the results of the conference. Le Corbusier (1887-1965) aimed for nothing less than changing the world and therefore called out for a revolution in architecture and society. His thinking and sometimes megalomaniac ideas have been, and remain to the present day, highly influential for architects around the world. This new book for the first time investigates in detail Le Corbusier's reception in Scandinavia, in Denmark in particular. The book's focal point is the connection between the Danish experimental expressionist artist Asger Jorn (1914-73) and Le Corbsuier. As a young student of art in Paris, Asger Jorn collaborated with Le Corbusier on the Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux at the 1937 Paris World Exposition. The young Jorn was fascinated by architecture--the most public form of art--in general and also followed closely Le Corbusiers building activities and his book publications. The book opens with four essays providing a survey of Le Corbusier as an artist architect. Further contributions examine Le Corbusiers influence on Asger Jorn and the younger artist's initial admiration for and later critique of the famous architect. They discuss Jorns position towards Le Corbusier in theory, and also look at relationships in both men's artistic practice, e.g. in poetry, book production, tapestry, etc. Another four essays deal withLe Corbusier's traces in Danish architecture and urbanism, his intellectual reception in Scandinavia, parallels between Le Corbusier and Jorn Utzon, and a comparison of the Arhus Brutalism and Le Corbusier. The book also features reprints of texts by Asger Jorn and an especially commissioned photo essay by the German experimental film director Heinz Emigholz of Asger Jorns Aarhus Mural and Le Corbusiers Villa Savoye.

Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in New York City, Colour Moves focuses not only on abstract painter and colourist Sonia Delaunay's art but also her avant-garde fashion designs from her own Atelier Simultané in Paris during the 1920s as well as textiles she designed for the Metz & Co Department store in Amsterdam in the 1930s. Applying her talents and theories to all areas of visual expression, including graphics, interiors, theatre and film, fashion and textiles, a trademark of Delaunay's work is the sense of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colours. The book features authoritative essays by Matilda McQuaid, Matteo de Leeuw-de Monti and Petra Timmer, accompanied by reproductions of over 250 of Delaunay's paintings, drawings, textiles and garments with correlating designs, fashion illustrations and period photographs.
