Interludes - Anne Bjerge Hansen
ISBN  1 90427 006 9
PRICE  £12.00

Over the last five years, the Danish-born, Glasgow-based artist Anne Bjerge Hansen has been busily compiling an ongoing series of video 'interludes', short cameo pieces whose quietly-observed, everyday scenes radiate a disarming, dream-like quality. Highlighting small-scale, often overlooked events, or homing in on fleeting, fragmentary details, Bjerge Hansen's work catalogues these haunting, ephemeral moments with a captivating brevity and clarity.

It Could Happen to You - A K Dolven
Steven Bode and Michael Glasmeier. Interview by Ele Carpenter
It Could Happen to You - A K Dolven
ISBN  0 9538634 5 x
PRICE  £11.95

'It Could Happen to You' is the first English-language publication dedicated to the work of Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Dolven and catalogues five film and video 'portraits' produced between 2000 and 2001. While alluding to paintings by the Norwegian master Edvard Munch, Dolven also adds recognisably contemporary elements to her treatment of landscape and still life. This compact and elegant hardback publication is illustrated in colour throughout with a selection of documentation shots, details from the works and production stills. It was produced to accompany the staging of Dolven's film 'It Could Happen to You' at the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art in June and July 2001.
