It requires the special knowledge of aesthetics and the sort of artistic experience Schellmann has. As an art dealer and publisher, he has been working with the most important artists for over forty years. His furniture designs articulate his in-depth examination of Minimal and Concept Art. At the same time, they reflect an aesthetic that is equally inspired by industry and workshop. This work, as fascinating as it is clear, is presented in this illustrated book and accompanied by texts by Mateo Kries, Donald Judd, and Liam Gillick, among others.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49657667387665,"sku":"GOR013233163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50996944830737,"sku":"NIN9783775748544","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3775748547.jpg?v=1751159226"},{"product_id":"to-the-moon-via-the-beach-book-liam-gillick-9783037643716","title":"To the Moon via the Beach","description":"To the Moon via the Beach was a three-day exhibition in the Amphitheatre in Arles. Using tons of sand specially shipped there, the iconic arena was transformed into a beach and, during a process of non-stop activity co-ordinated by Willem Stijger, slowly mutated into a moonscape.It created a backdrop for a series of interventions by 20 artists in and around the arena, including Daniel Buren, Fischli \u0026amp; Weiss, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Klara Lidén, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tris Vonna-Michell, and Lawrence Weiner, among others.This book offers a complete record of the event, and presents chronological photographic documentation, allowing the event to be reconstructed and understood as a whole for the first time. An extensive discussion between Liam Gillick, Philippe Parreno, and Hans Ulrich Obrist sheds light on the event's historical context and its experimental potential.Published with LUMA Foundation.English and French text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733480153361,"sku":"NGR9783037643716","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52618526261521,"sku":"NLS9783037643716","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3037643714.jpg?v=1751431872"},{"product_id":"how-are-you-going-to-behave-a-kitchen-cat-speak-wie-wurden-sie-sich-verhalten-ei-book-liam-gillick-9781933128740","title":"How Are You Going to Behave?

It contains an introduction by the curator, a text by Liam Gillick about his work as well as the text spoken by the kitchen cat present in the show: She speaks from the present and fights against the echoes of building's interior. Its history is one of misrepresentation, misunderstanding and desires. Thus, the pavilion becomes a location for endless self-circulating histories that--in the end--represents our history as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49961080422673,"sku":"NGR9781933128740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1933128747.jpg?v=1751028784"},{"product_id":"michael-craig-martin-book-liam-gillick-9781932598643","title":"Michael Craig-Martin","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49961122005265,"sku":"NGR9781932598643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1932598642.jpg?v=1751219867"},{"product_id":"industry-and-intelligence-book-liam-gillick-9780231170208","title":"Industry and Intelligence","description":"The history of modern art is often told through aesthetic breakthroughs that sync well with cultural and political change. From Courbet to Picasso, from Malevich to Warhol, it is accepted that art tracks the disruptions of industrialization, fascism, revolution, and war. Yet filtering the history of modern art only through catastrophic events cannot account for the subtle developments that lead to the profound confusion at the heart of contemporary art.  In Industry and Intelligence, the artist Liam Gillick writes a nuanced genealogy to help us appreciate contemporary art's engagement with history even when it seems apathetic or blind to current events. Taking a broad view of artistic creation from 1820 to today, Gillick follows the response of artists to incremental developments in science, politics, and technology. The great innovations and dislocations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have their place in this timeline, but their traces are alternately amplified and diminished as Gillick moves through artistic reactions to liberalism, mass manufacturing, psychology, nuclear physics, automobiles, and a host of other advances. He intimately ties the origins of contemporary art to the social and technological adjustments of modern life, which artists struggled to incorporate truthfully into their works.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50255965683985,"sku":"CIN0231170203G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51232064831761,"sku":"GOR008665054","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231170203.jpg?v=1750973588"},{"product_id":"uri-aran-book-liam-gillick-9783037643846","title":"Uri Aran","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063858168081,"sku":"NIN9783037643846","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53396409942289,"sku":"GOR013376094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3037643846.jpg?v=1751063928"},{"product_id":"white-cube-44-duke-street-st-james-s-london-book-liam-gillick-9783882438697","title":"White Cube: 44 Duke Street, St James's, London","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51438079213841,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438079312145,"sku":"GOR014279957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/388243869X.jpg?v=1751159672"},{"product_id":"hello-meth-lab-in-the-sun-book-liam-gillick-9780981758626","title":"Hello Meth Lab in the Sun","description":"Featuring a collaborative installation by Jonah Freeman, Justin Lowe and Alexandre Singh, the acclaimed 2008 Ballroom Marfa exhibition \u003ci\u003eHello Meth Lab in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e was comprised of diorama-like depictions of a hippie commune, a meth lab and other sites of modern industrial production.
