Mami Kataoka

This is another major and ambitious experimental exhibition that transforms the Hayward Gallery's spaces into a 'giant brain' and brings together large-scale installations by ten international artists who explore the ways in which the creative mind processes information and how the artist pictures the world around them.

Walking in My Mind

Hayward Gallery

Städtische Kunsthalle Mannheim

Pipilotti Rist burst onto the international art scene in the 1990s with her vibrant large-scale video works and multimedia installations.Taking up themes of female sexuality and mass media culture through her playful and provocative remixes of fantasy and the everyday, Rist has become one of the most important video artists working today.This beautifully presented, comprehensive mid-career survey is published to coincide with a major exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery, and to complement the subsequent European tour of the show.With essays by Chrissie Iles, Elisabeth Bronfen, Stephanie Rosenthal, Stefanie Mueller and Konrad Bitterli, and featuring a visual essay created specifically for the book by Rist herself, this lavishly-illustrated, casebound book charts the fascinating career of one of the world's best-loved artists.Published alongside the exhibition Pipilotti Rist: Eyeball Massage at the Hayward Gallery, London, 28 September 2011 – 8 January 2012.

Ana Mendieta

During her short career, Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) created a body of work that was provocative and radically inventive. Using her own body, together with elemental materials - blood, fire, earth and water - she created visceral performances and ritual ephemeral 'earth-body' sculptures exploring life, death, rebirth and spiritual transformation.Born in Cuba but sent to America as a child, much of her art expresses the pain and rupture of cultural displacement and exile. Her images are compelling, mysterious and poetic. In some, the outline of her body is consumed by gunpowder, fireworks, or advancing waves; others record ancient goddess-forms moulded from sand, carved into rock, or incised in clay.This book includes an anthology of never seen before material including Mendieta's own writings and press coverage of her shows. Encompassing a wealth of her drawings, photography and filmography, it also provides a compre­hensive and enlightening perspective on this important artist's work.This title accompanies the first monograph exhibition of this artist in the UK at Hayward Gallery, 24 September - 15 December 2013.

Traces

Dayanita Singh

Originally trained as a photojournalist and bookmaker, Dayanita Singh (New Delhi, 1961) has exhibited widely both in India and abroad, her work often takes a curious view of the every day, and is characterised by an un­sparing view of her subject matter.Best-known for her por­traits of India's urban middle- and upper-classes, her images of people working, celebrating or resting depict everyday life without embellishment, capturing insights that often challenge the exotic stereotypes in the West.Working closely with the artist in the concept and design of this volume, Hayward Publishing presents Dayanita Singh: Go Away Closer, a unique and inventive new title on the work of this pioneer of contemporary photography.Included is an interview with the artist and an introduction by the exhibition curator, Stephanie Rosenthal.Published alongside an exhibition at The Hayward Gallery, London, 8 October - 15 December 2013.Photo caption: Dayanita Singh, Nalin and Natasha, 1996.
