In a limited run of three hundred copies, this special-edition publication is presented in a clothbound slipcase featuring a specially-conceived painted pattern. Each publication is individually numbered and signed by the artist. Initially trained in theatre design, Himid is known for her innovative approaches to painting and to social engagement. She has been pivotal in the UK since the 1980s for her contributions to the British Black arts movement, making space for the expression and recognition of Black experience and women’s creativity. Over the last decade she has earned international recognition for her figurative paintings, which explore overlooked and invisible aspects of history and of contemporary, everyday life. In 2017 she was awarded the Turner Prize.

‘When something you used to have has disappeared or is missing, an arm, a lover or a leg perhaps, they say that you can still feel it. Occasionally a pain or an irritation, a sneeze or the perfume of a flower on an early summer evening reminds you that the something you have lost will always be there but only as a fleeting moment/thing.’

—Lubaina Himid

Published on the occasion of Himid’s solo exhibition at Hollybush Gardens, Water Has a Perfect Memory, this special edition of Hollybush Issue includes a response by Bermudian writer and performer, Andra Simons, alongside poetic companion pieces written by Himid and an expanded text by Magda Stawarska-Beavan, whose work is also featured in the exhibition.

Andrea Büttner

Published on the occasion of Andrea Büttner’s solo exhibitions The Heart of Relations at Kunstmuseum Basel and No Fear, No Shame, No Confusion at K21, Düsseldorf (both 2023), this new monograph offers the most comprehensive overview of the artist’s practice to date. Büttner combines art history with social and ethical issues. Since the early 2000s, she has been exploring a wide range of themes such as labour, poverty, shame and care in monastic forms of coexistence, but also arts and crafts as a political field. Examining the ambivalent tension between aesthetics and ethics, the internationally-renowned artist uses various conceptual methods. Best known for her large-scale woodcuts, Büttner has since used a variety of media, including etching, painting, photography and video installations, glass art and textiles. For her publications and exhibitions, Büttner composes her works thematically to create site-specific installations that can be experienced as gradually unfolding narratives.

A compendium of beggars’ depictions as imagined across visual cultures, this artist’s book by Büttner examines the fraught associations of poverty in relation to art history, theology and the politics of social benefits. Notions of shame, vulnerability and dignity correspond with featured reproductions of the artist’s woodcut series on the same subject. This publication also draws from Büttner’s extensive research at the Warburg Institute in London including sixteenth-century vignettes from the Liber Vagatorum and iconographies of shepherds and kings from Nativity scenes.

In this artist’s book, Büttner displays photographs of moss together with drawings by Gwen John (1876-1939). The book is based on research the artist undertook between 2011 and 2014 at the National Museum Cardiff, which houses many different collections all under one roof. These include an art collection with the world’s largest body of drawings by John, and a natural history collection with an internationally renowned moss collection. The book was published to coincide with the exhibition Andrea Büttner: Hidden Marriage at National Museum Cardiff, 22 February – 2 June 2014.

Liber Vagatorum (The Book of Vagabonds) is a book from the 16^th century that was published in different places, different languages and large editions across Europe during the Reformation period. It warns of beggars and their ‘tricks’, of the secret language of beggars and vagabonds, of ‘false’ artists and pets that hold out their hands in front of city gates and church doors. A version of Liber Vagatorum was even published by Martin Luther himself. The book marks a turning point from the medieval concepts of poverty and caritas to the concept of the work ethic enshrined in Protestantism. It introduces the difference between legitimate and illegitimate poverty.

In this extensive historical and contemporary analysis of shame and its power, Büttner probes the definitions and representations of shame. This book includes close readings of Sigmund Freud’s writings on play and fantasy, challenges theoretical approaches to Andy Warhol’s queer performativity on film and frames Dieter Roth’s representations of shame in his writing and moving image work.

In Büttner’s work spatial motifs unfold and lay bare their very conditions of exposure. Corner (Grey) (2011) manifests an arbitrary coordinate shaped by trilateral convergence of colour planes. At once a conventional, geometric shorthand and a familiar place of banishment, the corner motif in Büttner’s work points to nuances of experienced shame and conjures up expressions such as ‘go stand in the corner.’

Cynthia Hawkins

Since the 1970s, Cynthia Hawkins has investigated the potentials of abstract painting. While often beginning a work or series with a predetermined concept or strategy, Hawkins’s process-oriented practice simultaneously embraces the improvisational to create a systemised space for her continually evolving vocabulary.

From 1979 to 1981, important early years in the elaboration of her work, Hawkins documented these developments in a journal. A record of routine and the everyday, the journal also gathers sketches, notes for new and in-progress works, and responses to contemporary art and criticism, bringing the artist’s process, experimentation, and reflections on materials, formalism, abstraction, and figuration into relief.

Art Notes, Art also offers a picture of the burgeoning Black-owned gallery scene in 1970s and ‘80s New York that Hawkins was an important participant in — including Cinque Gallery, Kenkeleba Gallery, and Just Above Midtown, where she had her first solo exhibition in 1981 — as well as the women artists’ circle she was an active member of, which hosted weekly shares, critiques, exchange, and amplification of each others’ work. An important glimpse into Hawkins’s creative process and artistic community, Art Notes, Art is richly illustrated with works by the artist produced during this key period – some of which are now lost – photographs and ephemera, and a visual archive of contemporaneous work by her peers.

Knut Henrik Henriksen

Architectural Doubts is a major survey monograph examining 20 years of Henriksen’s practice. The book looks in detail at his central concepts of ‘architectural doubts’ and ‘architectural frustrations’. Henriksen’s sculptures and interventions are often defined around spatial volumes in structures that have gone through change over time. Buildings re-articulated via ‘architectural doubts’ include Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Kunstmuseum Bern and Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. Harnessing the form of ‘the book’, Henriksen has kept the ‘waste space’ around the standard A4 format and invited fellow artist Karl Holmqvist to use this as a project space. This book works as a manual linking Henriksen’s thoughts around sculpture, architecture, materials, standard forms, doubts and frustration.

Henriksen’s Envelope (2015) is part a consummate, geometric equipoise but also itself part of a series of architectural meditations on formats, for instance the International Organisation for Standardisation’s A series. Henriksen brings our attention to the physical structures and constraints of such bureaucratic conventions by exploring their extremities and the industrial tendency to dispose and order.

Knut Henrik Henriksen

Henriksen’s doubtful paper monuments conjure decidedly subjective projections: insecure and unstable, their imagined architectures are domestically scaled in precarious pillars of wallpaper. These sculptures were initially conceived in response to creating large-scale, expensive and often bureaucratic projects. The rolls of store-bought wallpapers are both economical and readily available, allowing for impulsive creation while evidencing a certain insecurity or nervousness. As Henriksen says, ‘a kind of hopelessness’ pervades these delicate, imagined monuments – a frailty in which one finds an appealing counter-production. Henriksen notes: ‘They frustrated me with their fragility. I don’t know exactly what they are – they are “doubt”, they are nonverbal. I don’t know where I’m going with them, how they should be titled, or how to preserve them.’ These wallpaper assemblages ultimately model both failings and feelings, their compositional uncertainty and material precarity are counterintuitive preservations of awkwardness.

Claire Hooper

Hooper was the winner of the 2010 Baloise Art Prize. This catalogue was published in tandem with the artist’s exhibition at mumok where she presented her prize-winning video Nyx (2010). The work is part of a trilogy that includes two other works from 2011, Aoide and Eris. In her films, Hooper interweaves narratives from the present with characters and concepts from Greek mythology. These become elements of a kaleidoscopic mélange of reality and fiction in which Hooper, in the manner of a Nouveau Roman, also dispenses with the linear succession of past, present and future.

Johannesson’s monochrome composition, Each is a Universe (2018), forms a relief made up of organic matter including nut shells and cambered plant stems. In a continuation of Johannesson’s interest in symbolism, semantics and image-making, the composition is subsumed within layers of blue paint reminiscent of indexical colour renderings. Yet by preserving the natural and botanical matter in this way, Johannesson privileges an enduring attraction to material life. Johannesson’s sampling of content acknowledges the structural mutuality and dependency between organic minutiae and elaborate ecosystems.

‘For the mixed-media print Who Killed Karen Silkwood? Lesperance utilised some of the same matrices she deployed for Life (2020) but created a pared-down version whose muted grey colours provide the perfect foil for the printed woollen scarf folded across its surface and the pink hand-knit nipple pin fastened on its right side. The nipple, with its puckered fibres and evidently hand-wrought texture, highlights the surprisingly tactile nature of lithography, which historically has involved a bodily encounter with ink, paper and stone. Drawing from the source imagery of a photograph from c. 1983–1985 in which a group of protestors, clad entirely in mourning black, demand accountability for the death of US laboratory technician, union leader, and nuclear safety activist Karen Silkwood, Lesperance has honed in on a detail that might otherwise go overlooked, which is the nipple attached to the central figure’s pants. This somewhat odd accessory distinctly genders the protest and underscores the stakes of Silkwood’s death: it declares that radioactive pollution, industrial contamination, and environmental despoliation are inextricably feminist concerns, and that Silkwood, as a mother, might have been especially concerned about these issues. The extraneous, detached nipple also functions—probably unintentionally—as a moment of almost surrealist or ghoulish humor within a scene otherwise marked by its almost oppressive seriousness.’

‘We come to an edge and turn away from it. A piece of something or a finite thing could hang, or balance, or even be screwed into the armature of the painting. The worlds of Siobhan Liddell morph into view, but eschew easy meaning. You might see mountain views, night-time swimming or the body, ghostly and vulnerable — it becomes one vast scenography of life. The work defies easy categorisation, and this is its strength, the sheer tensile quality of it.
We are delighted to bring Siobhan Liddell’s work to London, a city she left for New York several decades ago. A homecoming of sorts, and a welcome. Operating towards the poetic refrain, each viewer will accord their own feeling as the works invite a consideration of the sensations of life. We are so privileged to share this voice with our audience.’

This catalogue was produced following McGeorge’s solo exhibition, As Spaces Fold, Companions Meet at Oslo Kunstforening, 21 January – 21 February 2016. In the exhibition, McGeorge treats folds as a visual and thematic motif, including the notion of folded space—an interpretation inspired by science fiction. Folded space permits the coexistence of fiction and reality to cast new constellations across time and space. McGeorge articulates conditions of alienation and hybridisation informed by ecological crises, the legacies of feminist politics, and the potential of science fiction. This publication includes works from the exhibition and texts by the artist, Marcus Verhagen, Marit Paasche and Marianne Hultman.

A-W-O-R-L-D-O-F-O-U-R-O-W-N is McGeorge’s second publication by Dent-De-Leone. It features a script of several characters, all named Cosmo, who are in turn Maya Deren, Nina Hagen or Virginia Woof. These characters are isolated somewhere between the 1970s and the present, in a world similar to our own. Rejecting a singular paper standard—set in both European A4 and American letter sizes—the publication, which is made from recycled £5 notes, accents the obscurities of Western standards.

A demi-puckered cake box is the subject matter of this unique painting within a suite of associated studies by Pacheco. The artist frequently derives motifs from found images. He describes his approach to painting as a ‘neutralisation’ of the immediate graphic nature of the subject matter, a reductive act that is achieved by bringing form and ground together, and disrupting the conventional hierarchy of elements that constitute a picture.

The richly illustrated publication features a bipartite essay by Marchand: ‘what Bruno Pacheco is attempting to do with these tables and books does not compromise the essence of his work: the construction of a pictorial corpus that critically and sensitively engages with us in its double condition as a group of images cut out of the world and a group of skins coating a surface. What they do to confer—and to otherwise unimaginable scales, levels and complexities—is the play of recognition, evocation and strangeness all his works offer us.’

Pisano’s Learning in Proximity (2015) belongs to a body of work that investigates the cultural values embedded in mathematics.

‘Two years ago, by chance, I read a text about how cultural values have permeated the way we think about mathematics and mathematics education. Although I was aware of how mathematics has been instrumentalised, more often than not maintaining and pushing inequality, I realised then that I was still attached to the idea of mathematics as a universal, purely abstract—and therefore value-free—language. I even considered it as one, potentially complete, body of knowledge. The text, which advocated an anti-racist review of maths education, offered a more complex view. In my eagerness, I absorbed this as a full antithesis: mathematics fallen off the pedestal of logic and reason, covered with the dirt of past and present, insisting on a claim to “truth” that had long been revealed as a delusion. A mathematics pretending to be one perfect language developed in an almost perfect linear way, to conceal that it is in fact a set of mathematics appropriated by various groups of people throughout a series of cross-cultural encounters. Finally, a mathematics that is unable to accept that it is but one amongst many—different but equal.’

Ruth Proctor

Super Ruda (2010) is Proctor’s alter ego, conceived during the artist’s residency in Cali, Colombia. Borne out of a desire to blend within the setting of Cali, the character’s comportment of a black wig along with a colourful cape more closely resembled a standout super hero or cartoon figure. The act of roaming and discovering the city was less a performance than an emulation of native dwelling. Proctor conceived this poster as a tribute and salutary mark on the city’s building fabric and skin. In time covered or displaced by their kindred, the posters shed temporal records as gestures of the impermanency of living conditions.

Previously known for her work across moving image, sculpture and installation, Prodger began to make drawings during a 2023 residency at Yaddo in upstate New York and at her subsequent year-long Fellowship at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University. She writes: ‘Every few years, I shift to a new way of working. It hasn’t necessarily been a conscious process, rather it is reflective of my interest in the limits and parameters of particular materials, and in pushing, and feeling out those edges.’

Hollybush Issue is a contextualising device that provides information on artists’ practices through essays, conversations and images. Issues are printed periodically and linked to specific events such as exhibitions, performances or presentations.

Charlie Prodger works across moving image, writing, sculpture, drawing and printmaking. Through the prism of queer subjectivity, her work explores intertwined relations between the body, landscape, language, technology and time. To accompany her exhibition and the presentation of the complete film trilogy—Stoneymollan Trail, BRIDGIT, and SaF05—a book with a substantial essay by Sarah Hayden is released in Secession’s publication series. The London-based author and associate professor of literature and visual culture analyses the significance of voice and voiceover in Prodger’s video works. For the book, the artist has created a series of image pairings of production photos and video stills from the final part of the trilogy, SaF05.

Der Grottenkatalog was published on the occasion of Pulfer’s solo exhibition at Kunstverein Nürnberg in 2013. The exhibition featured an installation comprising a blue fabric tent with sewn-in bed sheets and other textiles, furnished with pastel drawings and ceramic objects as a place of tense fullness. The space was further intensified by additives from products of the luxury food industry, such as flavour enhancers and Japanese dashi, as well as by the sounds of an electric guitar played by the participants themselves. This illustrated catalogue features texts by Simone Neuenschwander and Barbara Casavecchia, examining Pulfer’s exhibition and his associative interest in phenomena, language, sound and process.

Newly translated into English, Gina–a Zustand novel (2022) is described by Reto Pulfer as ‘mind-massaging, language-fermenting, botanical-sci-fi exorcism’. The novel imagines a science fictional realm of post-apocalyptic and post-human conditions navigated by a matrix of human and non-human protagonists. By turns sensorial, magical and distinctly ecological, Gina posits a speculative imagining of an interdependent world that decentres anthropocentrism.

A Zustand, meanwhile, articulates a central tenet of Pulfer’s, expressing the very tension between transformation and fixity. As Anselm Franke notes in the foreword to Gina: ‘A Zustand may be a situation that has become transfixed or even permanent … an eternal present, having spatialised time. But the concept also inevitably invokes transitions from one state to another … and a liminal realm between them.’
