OPEN TODAY 12-7 PM. BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: MARTIN HERBERT "Tell Them I Said No" (Sternberg Press, 2016) This brand new collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist’s role in today’s professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D’Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York. Martin Herbert is a writer and critic living in Berlin. He is associate editor of ArtReview and writes for international art journals. Previous books include The Uncertainty Principle (2014) and Mark Wallinger (2011).

💥 Last chance to see: #markwallinger Mark Wallinger one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists and Turner Prize winner exhibiting for the first time in Cyprus at ‘Attempts to Escape’ group exhibition curated by #mariastathi @artseen_contemporary Image: Mark Wallinger ‘UN-‘, 2010, ink on paper | Kyriakos Kallis ‘Colonies’, 2019 | Phanos Kyriacou ‘Balancing Step’, 2019 👉 Come and see Mark Wallinger’s works: ‘UN’, 2010 at the facade of the gallery : “In the Green Zone you see the United Nations initials, black on white, painted oil-cans. After a while I found I had started reading UN as UN- … (the hyphenated ‘UN’ is printed in large letters).’ The presence of the United Nations anywhere, Wallinger would later say, tends to feel like a marker that something has gone wrong, come undone; the gap between UN and UN-, arguably, is that between what we would like to happen, a space of possibility, and that which actually transpires: what has been done cannot be un-done. UN will emblazon in huge letters on the gallery façade.
