Still lives
Moved Objects
‘Moved Objects’ traces the collaborative practice of young Australian artists Georgia Hutchison and Arini Byng. Happily suspended between sculpture and image, Hutchison and Byng’s works are in a constant state of considered and choreographed flux. And there is an essay by Melbourne artist and academic Lou Hubbard.

Surface Series
Dutch artist Batia Suter’s found photographic practice spans the topographical, historical and genuinely enigmatic. Created between 2008 and 2010 (and originally conceived for a site-specific installation at Culturgest Porto) this book uses enlarged photographic images and fragments from other books to compile a textural and poetic study of surface, image and place.

The Arrangement
Dutch photographer Ruth van Beek has sourced imagery from flower arrangement books to create the works in ‘The Arrangement’. As a longtime collector of flower arranging books, van Beek’s depth of knowledge on the art of ikebana and keen eye for colour arrangement and collage has resulted in a striking body of photographic work. The images funny and oddly textural.

Still Life / Work Life
Two disparate photographic genres – still life and documentary photography. Through a rich and varied selection from the Hasselblad Foundation Collection, this juxtaposition reflects photography’s complex cultural history and draws attention to the medium’s formal, aesthetic and social structures. This publication features 25 artists – Lennart Nilsson, Kerstin Bernhard, and Walid Raad among them – contextualised by accompanying essays and an introduction by curator Dragan Vujanovic.

Paraphernalia
Belgian artist Wim Wauman’s ‘Paraphernalia’ brings together 21 still life compositions featuring 171 objects, which he garnered from fellow artists specifically for the project. Each object is discreetly connected to its respective donor and therefore each artist’s own creative strategy. Included are commentaries from the artists about their contributions, as well as an essay by Stefaan Vervoort about the project.
