'I am deeply terrified by the obsessions crawling over my body, whether they come from within me or from outside. I fluctuate between feelings of reality and unreality. I, myself, delight in my obsessions.' Yayoi Kusama is one of the most significant contemporary artists at work today. This engaging autobiography tells the story of her life and extraordinary career in her own words, revealing her as a fascinating figure and maverick artist who channels her obsessive neuroses into an art that transcends cultural barriers. Kusama describes the decade she spent in New York, first as a poverty stricken artist and later as the doyenne of an alternative counter-cultural scene. She provides a frank and touching account of her relationships with key art-world figures, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Donald Judd and the reclusive Joseph Cornell, with whom Kusama forged a close bond. Incandid terms she describes her childhood and the first appearance of the obsessive visions that have haunted her throughout her life. Returning to Japan in the early 1970s, Kusama checked herself into a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo where she resides to the present day, emerging to dedicate herself with seemingly endless vigour to her art and her writing. This remarkable autobiography provides a powerful insight into a unique artistic mind, haunted by fears and phobias yet determined to maintain her position at the forefront of the artistic avant-garde. In addition to her artwork, Yayoi Kusama is the author of numerous volumes of poetry and fiction, including The Hustler's Grotto of Christopher Street, Manhattan Suicide Addict and Violet Obsession.

Public sculpture is a big draw in today’s cities. Nowhere is this more the case than in New York, where urban art has become synonymous with the municipal `brand’, highlighting the metropolis as vibrant, creative, tolerant, orderly and, above all, safe. Sculpture in Gotham tells the story of how the City of New York became committed to public art patronage, beginning in the mid-1960s. In that moment of political turbulence, cultural activists and City officials for a time shifted away from traditional monuments, and joined forces to sponsor ambitious sculptural projects as an instrument for urban revitalization. Focusing on specific people, agencies and organizations, and both temporary and permanent projects over the decades since the 1960s, Sculpture in Gotham reveals the changing forms and meanings of municipal public art. It illustrates how all this happened at a time when art theories and styles were changing markedly, and when municipalities were reeling from racial unrest, economic decline and countercultural challenges to culture and the state. Connecting public art activity to agendas of urbanism, Sculpture in Gotham offers new contexts for tracking national cultural trends through the exploration of one specific locality. It also provides a new understanding of civic activism and collaboration as a cultural force in urban America. Read more

Beginning with the pioneering use of innovative sculptural materials in the 1960s, the book explores the ways in which artworks engage or alter the viewer's perception of the surrounding architecture. The development of these concerns is traced over the course of the past four decades and concludes with artworks from the present day.Comprising a choreographed series of responses to, and interventions in, the Hayward Gallery building, Space Shifters highlights the often contingent, context-sensitive nature of artworks and architecture alike, while probing how this intertwining of identities reshapes the visitor's own perceptual awareness.

Initially inspired by an old university brief, Kenjiro Kirton began investigating design rituals - the meditative and monotonous continuation of a singular task or action, repeated daily. The idea was to see how they could shape our approach to work in the studio. Taking our cue from projects like On Kawara's Date Paintings and Martino Gamper's 100 Chairs in 100 Days, our ritual started as a simple list of films. We collected films we had all remembered and cherished over the years, films with scenes that stayed imprinted on our minds, that influenced the food we wanted to eat as kids, the recipes we tried to recreate in our student kitchens and the rituals we instilled into our homes as adults. Screenshot after screenshot, we started to collect these memories and scenes. Our collection grew until it started to tell a story and organically began to take its own shape. Scorsese soon became our most influential inspiration for this project. His use of food as a tool resonated with us, as well as how he chooses to depict it in many different ways, from extravagant feasts to squalid table settings, in order to build characters. 'Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are,' Scorsese said about this practice. Whether it's DiCaprio throwing lobsters at waiters in The Wolf of Wall Street or Travis Pickle's 'black coffee and apple pie with a slice of melted yellow cheese' in Taxi Driver, the concept of food, its commonality and relevance to pretty much anyone, has allowed his films and their characters to transcend time, culture and audiences. Cooking with Scorsese, as the project became known, has morphed into a series of books, film nights and occasional supper club. Over the years, it has taught us about the circularity of food and film and how each medium has in turn fed (for want of a better word) into each other. The reality is that as much as directors are inspired by and use food to help them build their narratives, chefs take from films in the same way. From Wong Kar-wai's intoxicating scenes in In the Mood for Love to Wes Anderson's delicate pastries in The Grand Budapest Hotel, restaurants have embedded the gestures, imagined aromas, flavours and memories from these scenes into their menus. The Cooking with Scorsese books became manuals for the examination of how directors have used food as a device on screen. For this cookbook, we have invited chefs to examine filmic moments that bring them culinary joy and create something in return. Its release brings us full circle, connecting the narratives on both sides of the screen with everyday kitchens and tables. We hope you will take the time to read the introductions by our contributors. The most enjoyable and interesting part of collating the recipes has been discovering first-hand the moments that resonated with each chef. Through food they have been able to capture and keep those moments alive, in the same way a director captures and creates through film. Read more

Tracey Emin, one of the best-known contemporary British artists, has become a potent symbol of the relationship between art and celebrity in our time. Her now notorious installation My Bed was denounced by conservative critics as a scandal, but this and her other works have continued to attract ever larger audiences. Whether storming out of live television debates, talking about her abortions or modelling evening gowns for Vivienne Westwood, Tracey Emin makes headlines. Yet if Emin is now universally recognized as a media phenomenon, her work has also begun to attract serious critical attention. In The Art of Tracey Emin distinguished critics address her achievement in depth for the first time, tracing Emin's influences from Egon Schiele to Bruce Nauman and establishing her place in a wider tradition. They show that however raw and personal her work may seem to be, it actually represents a carefully mediated response to vital issues in culture and society. Read more
