Marion Coutts
ISBN  1 90427 006 9
PRICE  £9.95

Over the last few years, Marion Coutts has emerged as one of the most engaging and inventive voices on the British contemporary art scene, attracting increasing attention for a highly original body of work whose subtle use of the moving image is allied to a wider object-based aesthetic. Produced to accompany a recent survey exhibition of her work, and pivoting around a new video installation, 'Everglade', this substantial monographic publication captures the distinctiveness, and the diversity, of Coutts' practice.

Mark Lewis Films 1995-2000
Charles Esche, Steven Bode, Lizzie Francke and Catherine Pavlovic
Mark Lewis Films 1995-2000
ISBN  0 95386 340 9
PRICE  £15.00

Mark Lewis' work functions as a critique of cinema, encouraging the viewer's awareness of the clichés, conventions and fragmentary nature of film, and how it has been constructed historically. In so doing, he also acknowledges its suggestive power, and the alluring, seductive visual qualities of the medium, whilst maintaining a certain critical distance in his extraction and re-evaluation of its components. This catalogue provides a survey of Lewis' film works from 1995-2000.
