A journey through the rich histories of textiles that explores their significant cultural roles, from memorializing lost loved ones to resisting oppression   From ancient Egyptian shrouds for mummified remains to medieval relics, textiles have played both functional and symbolic roles in rituals of death across time and place. Featuring funeral hangings, mourning samplers, coffin covers, and many other textiles and fragments, along with works by contemporary textile artists such as Nick Cave (b. 1959) and Angela Hennessey (b. 1971), this book highlights how these objects help people negotiate experiences of loss, grief, healing, and survival.   With over seventy textiles dating from antiquity to today, On Loss and Absence brings together examples from cultures and traditions around the world. Close-up photographs provide an intimate look at the wealth of artistic and historical information embedded in their intricate details and painstaking techniques. In four key sections-Death and Grief, Transition of Realms, Care and Healing, and Resistance and Survival-artists, conservators, educators, and scholars offer their in-depth perspectives on select objects and their context. Contemporary practitioners, including the Noqanchis collective of Andean weavers and Navajo weavers Lynda Teller Pete and Barbara Teller Ornelas, provide insight into the enduring legacies of Indigenous textile arts. A behind-the-scenes look at textile conservation examines preservation techniques in the larger thematic context of care and survival.   Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago  Exhibition Schedule:  Art Institute of Chicago (September 2025-April 2026)

A major exploration of the work of American architect Bruce Goff, including the paintings, objects, and ephemera often overshadowed by his architectural legacy   Celebrated as one of the most innovative and daring architects of the twentieth century, Bruce Goff (1904-1982) imagined a truly independent modern American architecture throughout his six-decade-long career, which began when he was just twelve years old, working as an apprentice at an architectural firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Distinguishing himself from the restrained modernism of the postwar period, Goff created single-family homes that were at once livable and adventurous, featuring radical spatial relationships, and designed fantastical large-scale commercial and industrial spaces.   His architectural legacy often overshadows his equally experimental artistic career; this book explores the full sweep of Goff's creativity, which flowed between media and artistic practices. It highlights 150 objects, including architectural drawings and models; abstract paintings; and photographs, ephemera, and building fragments. Inspired by a range of cultural and artistic traditions, from Native American art to Japanese joinery and the landscapes of science fiction, Goff's work represents a unique synthesis of diverse influences. In essays on Goff's connection to the Great Plains, his distinctly queer modernist vision, and his unique genesis of the arts, this book draws critical connections between Goff's life and work.   Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago  Exhibition Schedule:  Art Institute of Chicago (December 21, 2025-March 29, 2026)

A look at Ellsworth Kelly's eight Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance collages and how they set the foundation for his career-long exploration of abstract, minimalist art   Revered for his iconic color field paintings, Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) is one of the most influential artists in American Abstraction. His body of work, encompassing paintings, sculptures, and prints, illustrates his unprecedented experiments with form and color. Less well known are his eight collages, known as Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance (1951), which led directly to some of the artist's most iconic early works. Made from papier gomette, or sticky squares of colored paper used by French schoolchildren, these collages represent Kelly's early exploration of non-compositional strategies. Created by using chance operations to place the gomette on grids, Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance boldly anticipates the evolution of Kelly's innovative methods. Alongside brilliant photographs that bring the reader into intimate contact with Kelly's series of collages, a wide-ranging roundtable conversation with artist Jacqueline B. Humphries, art historian Hannah Higgins, and Kelly's widower, the photographer Jack Shear, explores the origins of these groundbreaking works and their continued resonance today, bringing to life the story of his bold, experimental designs.    Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago

Explore the strength, energy and power of Yolngu art in this landmark book featuring over 200 innovative works dating from the 1940s to today. Yolngu power: the art of Yirrkala offers a comprehensive insight into a group of world-recognised and celebrated artists from Yirrkala and the development of an art movement whose contribution to Australian art - and, increasingly, international art - is profound. The art of Yirrkala is inextricably intertwined with its cultural, political and social history. For almost 100 years, artists from this small community in Northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, have shared art as a means of cultural diplomacy - as a respectful assertion of power in its diverse forms, from influence to authority, sovereignty, strength, energy and pride. Published in association with a major survey at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Yolngu power features over 200 works from the 1940s to the present day. It considers the significant moments in Yirrkala's history when artists have consciously altered their practice, developed new styles or embraced new mediums. It also contextualises the work of individual artists within the broader school of artists from Yirrkala, and surrounding Miwatj Country. Essays by Cara Pinchbeck, Djambawa Mariwili and Kade McDonald, and Will Stubbs offer a range of perspectives on the art of Yirrkala, from the use of art as activism to the role of cultural inheritance and the development of the art movement that has emerged from this significant community.

How the thoughtful reimagining of health-centric built environments both locally and globally can better serve vulnerable populations and reduce health disparities in a climate-threatened world.As climate change accelerates, its impact on public health grows, disproportionately affecting medically underserved populations. In Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World, Stephen Verderber addresses the urgent need for innovative architectural and ecologically responsible strategies to confront health inequities exacerbated by the global climate crisis. This book highlights the critical role of health-centric architecture in mitigating these inequities and creating resilient, therapeutically supportive environments. Combining insights from public health, architecture, and climate science, this book examines how the built environment can both contribute to and alleviate health disparities. Chapters examine the unique vulnerabilities of health-focused built environments including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities amid the devastating effects of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and escalating public health emergencies. Emphasizing the urgent need for innovative, resilient design strategies, Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World illustrates how thoughtful and compassionate design innovations can better serve increasingly vulnerable populations both locally and globally. An essential resource for health care leaders, architects, and policymakers, Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World challenges traditional, increasingly obsolete policies and protocols, advocating instead for innovative strategies and solutions to improve health and promote sustainability. This book offers a bold new vision for leveraging architectural design and its diverse benefits to society to ensure that communities can thrive sustainably and regeneratively in an uncertain future.
