I?m a painter by nature, almost biologically, but I?m also a painter by default, culturally, because I found out that a lot of what I want to convey to the world can only be told through image and not through words."?Francesco Clemente0This richly illustrated volume documents 'Watchtowers, Keys, Threads, Gates', Francesco Clemente?s exhibition at Dallas Contemporary in 2019, curated by Peter Doroshenko. The large-scale installation presented there included a massive, site-specific fresco and two series of sculptures realized in the artist?s signature style. The overall dreamlike atmosphere was firmly in keeping with Clemente?s aesthetics and imaginary.0Through the winding waves murals??realized with the help of three Oaxacan artists??and the bodies of the sculptures??created over the past five years in collaboration with artisans in India??Clemente constructed a labyrinth of patterns and resonances made up of the elements enumerated in the title. Visitors entered his mythological universe and experienced full immersion in his ongoing research on gesture, knowledge, transition, and color.00Exhibition: Dallas Contemporary, Dallas, USA (13.04-18.08.2019).

What's beautiful, what's trash, and is there an elixir to fix this human condition called suffering?

Point of Space is an artist monograph and the first comprehensive survey of the work of Jan Kalab, a leading graffiti and street artist (formerly known as Cakes and Point), as well as an original painter and sculptor. In its more than three hundred pages, the book presents the artist's extensive oeuvre from 1993 to 2018: walls, trains, three-dimensional graffiti, pavement paintings, murals, paintings on canvas, sculptures, and installations. At the same time, it shows many different cities in Europe and the US from rarely seen angles and in unexpected contexts.
