For years now, the Die Vier von der Tankstelle (Four from the Gas Station) have been roaming across an area stretching out to the south of the Baltic Sea. They prowl their way through sparsely populated areas, wantonly terrorizing the inhabitants. The 2026 calendar by Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys bears witness to their presence.
The first monograph dedicated to Lorenza Longhi, published with the Kunst Museum Winterthur, adopts a format associated with prototypes, manuals, or working documents. Its irregularities reflect Longhi’s ongoing examination of value, functionality, and the aesthetics of the everyday.
This publication is an extensive monograph devoted to the work of Carlos Bunga, published in conjunction with his eponymous show at CAM – Gulbenkian. In addition to a number of essays, which offer an in-depth look at his multifaceted practice, the book contains previously unpublished photos that reveal his working process.
The paintings and drawings by Jake Grewal draw the viewer in through stillness and ambiguity: they invite reflection on how we inhabit places—physically and emotionally—and how our inner landscapes mirror the physical world. This is the Grewal’s first book, published to accompany the artist’s exhibition at Studio Voltaire.
The transformation of the notion of monuments and the way cultural institutions choose to deal with it find in Maurizio Cattelan an interpreter capable of manipulating historical memory and shared symbols, to the point of turning them into a terrain of doubt and play. Lisa Parola and Lorenzo Giusti investigate the potential of contemporary art within the public sphere.

Shahryar Nashat explores the space between the real, tangible object and the incorporeal—be it a sensation, an idea, or a virtual image. His art is never assertive. Neither is this book, published to accompany the artist’s new project for MASI Lugano and Istituto Svizzero in Rome. Fashioned as an instructional catalogue, instead of providing a key to interpreting the works, it leads the reader to a state of uncertainty and attraction, becoming an emotional composition. Following the artist’s plea to forego thorough rational understanding, the book acquires a rhythm of its own, which goes in and out of the body and amplifies feeling. Nashat inserts his art in the pages of this manual, strips it of its aura, flaunts its nature as an object and describes step-by-step how to create it. Here are 17 chances to get it.
