Juan Usle: OJO-NIDO captures the paintings and poetry of the Spanish painter, on the occasion of his 2008 solo exhibition at L.A. Louver in Venice, California (May 22 - July 5, 2008). In his essay entitled Beauty and All That Jazz, curator and writer Kevin Power reflects on Usle's intellectual and aesthetic explorations through composition and mark-making, and juxtaposes the artist's analytical, vibrant approach to painting with musical and literary references. Sixteen paintings, created in studios in New York and Cantabria, Spain, are fully illustrated, alongside poems written by Usle -- printed in both Spanish and English -- related to each of the works. OJO-NIDO invites admirers of Usle into the canny dimensionality of his work, beyond the plane of the canvas. Design by Stefan Bucher, 344 Design.

From the highly acclaimed author of Bad Day in Blackrock – inspiration for the 2012 award-winning film What Richard Did, directed by Lenny Abrahamson – comes a darkly funny, gripping and profoundly moving novel about a life spinning out of control, a life live without the bedrock of familial love, and the corruption of material wealth that tears at the soul.\n‘It was my father’s arrest that brought me here, although you could certainly say that I took the scenic route.’\nHere is rehab, where Ben – the only son of a rich South Dublin banker – is piecing together the shattered remains of his life. Abruptly cut off, at the age of 27, from a life of heedless privilege, Ben flounders through a world of drugs and dead-end jobs, his self-esteem at rock bottom. Even his once-adoring girlfriend, Clio, is at the end of her tether. Then Ben runs into an old school friend who wants to cut him in on a scam: a shady property deal in the Balkans. The deal will make Ben rich and, at one fell swoop, will deliver him from all his troubles: his addictions, his father’s very public disgrace, and his own self-loathing and regret. Problems solved.\nBut something is amiss. For one thing, the Serbian partners don’t exactly look like fools. (In fact they look like gangsters.) And, for another, Ben is being followed everywhere he goes. Someone is being taken for a ride. But who?

Lives are shattered when three private school-educated, rugby-playing young men attack another young man outside a Dublin nightclub. On a late August night, a young man is kicked to death outside a Dublin nightclub and celebration turns to devastation. The reverberations of that event, its genesis and aftermath, is the subject of this extraordinary story, stripping away the veneer of a generation of Celtic cubs, whose social and sexual mores are chronicled and dissected in this tract for our times. The victim, Conor Harris, his killers - three of them are charged with manslaughter - and the trial judge share common childhoods and schooling in the privileged echelons of south Dublin suburbia. The intertwining of these lives leaves their afflicted families in moral free fall as public exposure merges with private anguish and imploded futures.

Regina Silveira says that she gave the title "Lumen" to the totality of this project to emphasize that the light is once again the axis of her poetic reflection and the key for all the operations of the language involved in her dialogue with the architecture of the Crystal Palace. For this exhibition, this catalog was edited with texts by the commissioner Kevin Power and the critic Adolfo Montejo Navas, accompanied by essays by Walter Zanini, Aracy Amaral, Marcio Doctors and Angelica da Moraes. The catalog includes the artist's biography and a selection of texts written by herself.
