Chris Johanson @ Dietch Projects • Chris Johanson
Known for his expressive, skater-punk, urban landscape drawings that combine image and text in an irreverent, angst-ridden, deliberately pathetic sort of way, Chris Johanson takes over where Raymond Pettibon leaves off. Less angry and witty than his predecessor, Johanson scribbles colorful, dead-on portraits of street culture and the yuppies, hippies, hipsters, losers and drunkards who inhabit it. Essay by Aaron Rose.$65.00 -
Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends • Beni Bischof
Known for his dark and obvious disposition for chaos, Swiss artist Beni Bischof creates frenzied drawings, paintings, collages, sculptures, and photo-manipulations that expose the everyday banality of contemporary society. Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends is a collection of strange black and gray paintings that shift between abstract patterns and human identity, both lurking beneath the shadows. Dark, violent faces materialize within a cluster of wavy lines, splatters of black ink transform into a sea of dead bodies, and faceless creatures prowl the pages, projecting a malevolence that reverberates within the thick washes of paint.$40.00 -
Cocoon • Doodles
Doodles invents a modern tribal symbology within the pages of his zine Cocccon, which he completed while a resident at Islands Fold in British Columbia. Tree roots grow down through the earth’s strata, tepees decorated with seeing eyes emit densely patterned billows of smoke, and arms reach up through the earth to comfort its inhabitants, who are encouraged to send the artist’s message of freedom out into the world using the message-in-a-bottle technique. With a hand-cut cover offering a window onto the first page.$20.00 -
Coming Back is Half the Trip • Geoff McFetridge
The work of Geoff McFetridge is concerned with the human condition. He engages existence and semiotics from a curious, pragmatic, poetic and personal point of departure. His paintings, drawings and sculptures often (quite literally) circle around topics such as beginning and end, relation and understanding, perception, the transcendental and the unconscious. But in McFetridge’s work these common human themes are investigated with the lightness of an intuitive graphic vocabulary. Complex and dense while equally fragile and sparse, McFetridge’s visual language is dance and mountaineering: heavy in preparation, light in execution. Coming Back Is Half The Trip consists of studies for paintings and sculptures shown in his fourth solo exhibition with V1 Gallery / Eighteen in Copenhagen. The book, in conjunction with the exhibition, offers new approaches to cognition. McFetridge ventures on to the ledge of meaning, bringing us with him on a trip that we can sense, but struggle to verbalize. A meditative, empathic state of mind, where we are connected beyond time and words in recognition of our complex existence. Visual art.$120.00 -
Complicated Clown • Yannick Vel Gesto
Yannick Val Gesto admits to a self-confessed tendency to look for ‘hidden gems’ online — an act which fuels his art practice. He tries to find ‘rare’ pieces of visual integrity that can range from fan art to photographs to personalised memes, etc. What is most important to him throughout the search for visual material is that there be a notion of emotion or expression, a longing for happiness in digitalisation, no matter how naive or ugly the piece might be. It’s this specific type of visual information that he likes to alter into something of his own. This results in compositions and drawings drenched with unconventional aesthetics. Yannick Val Gesto (born 1987, Borgerhout, Belgium) is most interested in cyberculture, psychology and image-making. His drawings and installations explore the relationship between digital perfection, expression and human error. He has exhibited internationally at places like Higher Pictures (US), Bid Project Gallery (IT), Sunday Art Fair (UK), NRW-Forum (DE) and Ausstellungsraum Klingental (CH). He is currently living and working in Hemiksem (BE) and is represented by Levy.Delval (BE) and Cinnnamon (NL).$20.00 -

Devils and Babies • Harmony Korine
When I was young my dad bought me a pair of uneven stilts. He always bought me gifts like trampolines and model kits. When I was old enough he bought me a hooker. He told me that she was his friend and that she liked little boys. I was in love with a ballet girl named Shirly. She was short and beautiful, she wore silver slippers and black bifocals. When I made love to the prostitute my father watched, he was telling me what to do, "Good job, now rub her ass." My father hated ballet so he refused to let me see Shirly.

Early Work 1970-1979 • Patti Smith
Patti Smith – poet, songwriter, performer. Collected here are selections from Smith’s writings over the decade in which she made a lasting impact on America’s underground scene. Smith’s work evokes the experimentation, the longing, and the desire to break boundaries of those pre-punk days. Early Work: 1970-1979 contains poems and prose from her chap-books Seventh Heaven, Ha! Ha! Houdini! (complete), and Witt, as well as selections from her landmark work Babel. Over one-quarter of the works are previously unpublished, chosen from transcriptions of performance pieces, notebook entries, and the author’s personal papers. In an introduction, Smith places her writing in the context of the seventies, a time when the consequences of leading a life on the edge were less profound. From obscure publications to well-known anthems, Early Work will bring together all the sides of Patti Smith from the meditative to the explosive. With published and unpublished photos by Robert Mapplethorpe, Judy Linn, and others, this raucous volume will remind people of why Patti Smith became a legend.$75.00 -
Fair Game Leipzig • Nathalie Du Pasquier
“This publication was planned before it was decided to coincide it with the exhibition Fair Game Leipzig at the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig. It is composed of drawings that I made in 2013. The cover instead was designed in 2019 in relation to the exhibition in Leipzig. I wanted it to be in contrast with the gentle drawings inside.” Nathalie Du Pasquier Nathalie Du Pasquier’s work is at the interface of design and fine art. She was a founding member of the designer’s group Memphis for which she designed numerous textiles and carpets, along with objects and furniture. Since 1987, Nathalie Du Pasquier has increasingly devoted herself to painting. Most of her paintings describe the relationship between shapes, objects and spaces. The space and the work form an inseparable whole. Various objects reappear as protagonists in different contexts of her work. The journey through her work is a journey through the world of her things. The game referred to in the ambiguous title is concerned with several things at the same time: playing with things, playing with constructions and compositions in the picture and in the space, the challenge to the viewers. - Nieves$35.00 -

Fireworks • Mike Mills
“Some things that may or may not relate to these drawings: A professional suggested I take anti-depressants. I declined. About the same time I started drawing fireworks. I didn’t know what they meant or why I was drawing them. I was confused and embarrassed by this lack of meaning, but they kept coming. I could draw them no matter how I felt. I read that fireworks were first used in China in the 12th century to scare away negative spirits. I envied a world that not only recognized spirits, but scared the negative ones away with small man made explosions. About the same time, I read in a magazine that antidepressants have a hard time performing better than the placebo pills they are tested against. Scientist cannot explain it, but almost as many people who take the fake pills say they feel relief from their depression. The blood flow in their brains actually changes in the same positive way that it does for the people who take the real pills. I felt a connection between the Chinese fireworks and the placebo effect, and some relief in all the things we don’t understand. At some point the fireworks grew more and more abstract, and messy, and complicated, and I became if not content then at least willing to make things that didn’t have any apparent meaning.” - Mike Mills$100.00 -
