With the End in Mind is a hybrid catalogue/artist’s book published in conjunction with the namesake solo exhibition by Reginald Sylvester II presented at Maximillian William, London during the summer of 2021. The artworks which form With the End in Mind demonstrate the artist’s interest in abstraction as a tool of resistance and a form that can represent Black resilience. They also mark a shift from flat abstract painting to more tactile works which incorporate three dimensional elements. The book invites the reader into Sylvester’s creative process. The works are nestled within a cyclical flow of the artist’s mantras, which give insight into the spiritual and conceptual underpinning of the resulting artworks. Also featuring a text by Allie Biswas contextualising the artist’s use of Ready-mades within a history of Black American artists transforming manufactured objects into art with a political consciousness.84 pages22 x 24cmHardcoverInOtherWords (London).

For 18 months, Alec Von Bargen travelled to 23 "Médecins Sans Frontières" (MSF, Doctors Without Borders) missions in 10 countries, documenting life amidst unfolding global conflicts. Through interviews, photography, recordings, and video, Von Bargen has illuminated the tapestry of human struggle and perseverance across the globe. At the heart of his work are in-depth observations and dialogue with his environment. The resulting photographs show the inspiration obtained by the artist from the struggles of people for survival and the proximity that comes from humanitarian aid. This monumental effort was undertaken with the help of a group of protagonists including doctors, medical staff, volunteers, patients, victims and everyday people—the cacophony of voices form So.lil.o.quy.“Alec Von Bargen’s body of work, comprising installation, photographic and temporal works, undertaken throughout 10 countries and comprising 23 projects, titled 'So.lil.o.quy', destabilises traditional notions of knowledge and representation within visual cultures and methodologies as found in both fields of art and anthropology, attesting to and engaging within a new vision of representational practice, offering a more authentic response to the world.”—Lynne Roberts Goodwin Press: Armenia Art Fair, Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Head On Photo FestivalPublished by Pacific, 2018Texts by Avril Benoit, Elizabeth Karp-Evans, and Lynne Roberts-GoodwinHardcover 480 pages, 8 ¼ × 10 ¾ inches Edition of 500

2019Acrylic on canvas20 x 25cmPippa Makgill is a New Zealand-born, Australian-based painter and sculptor. Pippa's work addresses the idea of shifting materiality, and the presence of the 'formless' within space. She often applies the concept of 'fluidity' to her work - capturing gesture within static mediums - and is deeply compelled by edges and how they can pull on the body's sensual gauge of sight, surface and form.
