Pipilotti Rist makes art to "encourage the mind, guarantee a detached view of social changes and conjure up positive energies." Like certain of her predecessors, such as Frederic Bruly Bouabre, Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono, Rist's inventive use of video technology alters our perception of space, our connection to objects and our response to representation. Rist has developed the flexible and spontaneous camera techniques of 1970s and 1980s video to strengthen the interdependence of video and viewing space, pressing the limits of video installation to reach into the viewer's personal own terrain. Rist defines the video image as having a "lousy, nervous, inner-world quality," on which she capitalizes to provoke the viewer and blend the skins of people, screens and surfaces. Wishing for Synchronicity accompanies this Swiss artist's first major U.S. survey, gathering work from the mid-80s onward. Richly illustrated, it features approximately 120 color reproductions, a videography, exhibition history and bibliography. It also focuses lesser-known works, including the audio-video sculptures "Hello, Good Day (Kiss Mouth)" (1995) , "Heilung" (2004), the large audio-video installations "Related Legs (Yokohama Dandelions)" (2001), "Super Subjective" (2001) and "Apple Tree Innocent on Diamond Hill" (2003). With essays dedicated to "feminine" imagery, recent trends in visual culture and the influence of pop music on the visual arts, this monograph offers unprecedented insight into Rist's oeuvre.

Against the Tide, the Chilean Pavilion at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, exhibits the work of a generation of young architects who have conceived, financed, designed, and constructed small-scale architecture in order to obtain their professional degree in the field. They have built with a minimum of resources, with the residue of agricultural processes, and with local materials easily available in a rural environment. This catalogue contains the fifteen projects chosen for the exhibition, with texts by different authors that examine these architects' training and the customs of a territory both anodyne and extraordinary. Against the Tide speaks to the contrary direction in which some things move. It puts the accent on the customs and landscape of a rural world of forestry and agriculture, helping to improve the everyday lives of people through architecture.

The aesthetic and cultural intersections of Christian and Islamic art 
The overlap between art and religion represents one of humanity’s most fundamental driving forces: a desire to interpret the world around us and to communicate that interpretation to others. The symbolism used in a specific society’s art is reflective of its values, ideologies and self-image. 
In the Name of the Image compares and contrasts Christianity and Islam through the lens of art history, examining the prevailing aesthetic traditions of each. Both religions have fluctuated between the extremes of idolatry and iconoclasm while simultaneously seeking a conciliatory balance, an endeavor that is expressed through their respective arts. 
Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, In the Name of the Image provides perspective on these two major world religions, exploring their surprising overlaps and their meaningful distinctions.

Paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the maestro of luminous abstraction 
This homage to the Irish American painter, printmaker, sculptor and photographer Sean Scully (born 1945) celebrates his uniquely evocative color palette. Over the course of his career, Scully has developed a signature visual language composed of layered colors. In his famed large-format abstract paintings, for instance, pictorial compositions are strictly divided into vertical and horizontal stripes, while his application of color is gestural. Through these juxtaposing elements—geometric structure and painterly drama—Scully creates “walls of light,” poetic walls of color generated by great physical force, both powerful and permeable. 
Accompanying the exhibition at the Langen Foundation in Neuss, Germany, Song of the Colours features a range of Scully’s paintings as well as lesser-known works, including works on paper from the late 1960s and monumental steel and iron sculptures of recent years.
