Norway 2000. Though he was born in Uruguay, Capelán developed his artistic career in Sweden. His work is therefore imbued with a sense of being out of place, or in another place, where difference and identity matter. Through his installations, drawings and paintings, he illuminates the complexity of the culture in which we live and to view society from close up. In this regard, Capelán remains true to his Latin American roots, as his art brings social and political issues to the fore., English/ Norwegian, Year2000, Illust. B/W, Illust.

Denmark 2014. ‘Drawings’ sees a distinct departure in visual style for NYC based, Danish artist Asger Carlsen. Earlier bodies of work, such as ‘Hester’ and ‘Baxter’, although surreal and bizarre, are unmistakably of a camera. ‘Drawings’, however, leaves few clues as to whether Carlsen has abandoned a photographic practice altogether as the reader is presented with images, the surfaces of which seem to be made up of marble, clay, cellophane and meat. The book consists entirely of full page color plates of the works, plus a couple of pages of interesting lines of text excerpted from the artist’s notes., English, Year2014, Illust. B/W, Illust.

Sweden 1998. Presenting the newly discovered letters of correspondence between the royal monarchs of Russia and Sweden, Catherine II (1729-96) and Gustave III (1746-92) is historically monumental as these letters reveal previously unknown details about the crisis in Europe that followed the French Revolution. It is also noteworthy because of the striking differences between these two monarchs, ranging from their varying interests, age, and degree of power. Also, though Gustave III did not fulfill his wishes, these letters attest to the strength of his argument that has been overshadowed by his eventual defeat. 184 mostly unedited letters are presented here, organized by subjects such as family, travel, the war, the European crisis, and their more secretive, private letters., French, Year1998, Illust.
