Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle
Innovative and pioneering, French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) created an extensive and complex body of work over her five decade-long career. Her work received international recognition as early as 1961 when it was included in the important exhibition 'The Art and Assemblage' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Since then Saint Phalle has been the subject of numerous exhibitions worldwide. Her bright and joyful Nana sculptures have become known as her signature artwork. The artist and her oeuvre however, can not be solely understood through this one body of work. This catalogue, accompanying the artist's first comprehensive retrospective in Belgium at Beaux-Arts Mons (BAM), explores Saint Phalle's multi-faceted practice, examining how the artist worked across a wide-range of media-painting, assemblage, sculpture, performance, public sculpture and architectural projects, film and theatre. Providing an overview of Saint Phalle's entire career, it seeks to demonstrate how the artist used her boundless imagination and unique vision of the world to transcend the space typically reserved for women to become one of the twentieth century's most important artists. Exhibition: BAM, Mons, Belgium (15.09.2018 - 13.01.2019).

Ernestine
Ernestine
Hon dyker upp i hans drömmar. Han försökte till en början värja sig. Men när hon återvände för femte gången sänkte han garden... Hade de känt varandra tidigare? Nej, denna kvinna, Ernestine, var en ny bekantskap. Varför sökte hon hans sällskap och inte minst: hur kommer det sig att hon tränger sig in i hans drömvärld? Men vad vill hon ha sagt egentligen? När han tar sig tid att lyssna så har Ernestine mycket att berätta. Främst om sin svåra ungdomstid och kanske, kanske dyker hon upp i hans drömmar för att varna andra unga tjejer från att begå samma misstag som hon gjorde... Niki Loong är en svensk författare och konstnär. Hon har skrivit böcker inom en rad olika genrer, bland annat mysdeckare och barn- och ungdomsböcker.

Niki de Saint Phalle : en joue! : assemblages & tirs, 1958-1964
Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "En joue! : assemblages & tirs, 1958-1964" présentée à la Galerie Vallois à Paris, du 8 novembre 2013 au 21 décembre 2013. En joue! : assemblages & tirs, 1958-1964 est la première exposition personnelle de Niki de Saint Phalle à la Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois. Afin de marquer le début de cette collaboration avec la succession de l'artiste, nous avons choisi de présenter un ensemble d'oeuvres majeures--dont certaines inconnues du public français--couvrant une période clé dans le travail de Niki de Saint Phalle, celle où la jeune femme intègre le mouvement du Nouveau Réalisme. De fait, l'exposition s'articule autour d'une époque charnière au cours de laquelle Niki Mathews prend son nom d'artiste--Niki de Saint Phalle--et passe d'une pratique de l'assemblage pur à une pratique "active" qui la mène à la réalisation de ses fameux "tirs."

The Power of the Cookie 2
The Power of the Cookie 2
There's power in the cookie... that's the basis for many people's way of life which can lead to chaos and heartache beyond repair. That's the philosophy we explored in part one of this fast-paced, drama-filled series. Now we're back again with the second story surrounding the notorious girl gang called The Cookies. These girls are three vastly different yet very similar young women with one important thing in common... they know the Power of the Cookie! In this book we will focus on the intelligent, logical, pretty, well-rounded rich girl of the group, Antoinette "Creme" Moretti. This half black, half Italian, sarcastic, smart ass is known as Dr. Moretti because of her constant human analyses and words of wisdom. She's often poised and keeps her cool which is why she is often looked at as the mother or voice of reason. Creme seems to have it altogether while her best friends Sunshine and Honee face one stumbling block after the next. That's until the house of cards that was built around her since birth begins to fall. As if the chaos with Sunshine wasn't enough, now Creme must face her own demons and suffer the consequences of her own actions while playing with the power of the cookie. Secrets, lies, hood fights, abuse, and murder then ensues and Creme finds herself lost. Come on this heart wrenching, hood, drama filled ride to see what we can find out about... The Power of the Cookie!
