On November 13, 2011, Capricious Publishing celebrated the release of artist K8 Hardy's latest book, Frank Peter John Dick. Hardy's work riffs on pop culture and all the images we encounter as consumers. The art she exhibits are photographs and sculptures, but part of her process is gathering masses of images from disparate sources and obsessively collaging them together. In a sense, these collages are edits of photos torn from magazines, printed advertisements, and other visual imagery that Hardy finds compelling. Yet they also include her darkroom test strips and snapshots found at the junk store. These collages were never originally intended for exhibition or print, but merely research for the artist's work. It was only after a few people saw them in her studio that she was encouraged to show them. For this reason, the collages are powerful and weighty; each is it's own essay. Hardy has made visual examinations that deal with complicated ideas, issues of representation, phenomenon in style, and playful contemplations of fashion.

"a slight cast down at the edges of the lips brings together work from the last decade of Katherine Hubbard's prolific practice, which intertwines analogue photography, writing, and live performance. Reproductions of exhibited prints, a selection of new photographs, and images created from within her performances are gathered here, along with four of the artist's original written works. This publication marks the first occasion for Hubbard's photographs and writings-for-performance to exist on the same scale, that of the book. "- co-editor, Corrine FitzpatrickThe book is accompanied by a poster with a full-scale detail reproduction of Katherine Hubbard's rip stop weave artwork, printed on glossy tissue paper. Additional contributions by Zoe Leonard, Mónica de la Torre, Elisabeth Sherman, and Lynne Tillman. Edited by Corrine Fitzpatrick and Lara Mimosa Montes.

A dual catalogue and archival exposé that explores the pivotal exhibition, Coming to Power: 25 Years of Sexually X-Plicit Art By Women, originally curated by the late artist, Ellen Cantor, in 1993, along with its re-staging in 2016 by curator Pati Hertling and artist, Julie Tolentino. The book also chronicles the unprecedented partnership amongst five New York City institutions. Exhibitions and programming of Cantor's work were offered by 80WSWE, Maccarone, Foxy Productions, Participant Inc. , Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), Skowhegan School of Painting, and MOMA-highlighting the lush, visionary, and audacious aspects of Cantor's drawings, paintings, curatorial projects, sculpture, assemblage, video, film, and evocative writing. Another section features a reprint of an interview between Cantor and Cerith Wyn Evans, a conversation between Lia Gangitano/Jonathan Berger and Julie Tolentino/Pati Hertling, as well as archival material from Cantor's diary entries and never-seen sketches from Cantor's personal papers.

Pro Anatomy is the first catalog of Swedish artist Cajsa von Zeipel's work from 2007 to 2015. Divided into three parts, the book presents the artist's obsession with her own body as it relates to her diverse practice, from her signature sculptures to her most recent work, 1:1, a project that represents a new direction for the artist in her engagement with the human form. Using a CAT scan of her body, von Zeipel 3D-printed a replica of her own skeleton, continuing her investigation into the body's aesthetic-and scientific-complexities when it is stripped to muscle and bones. Whereas much of her work has dealt with the surface of the body, 1:1 cuts to the bone. Featuring new essays by writers Andrew Durbin, Chris Ford, Stefanie Hessler, Sarah Nicole Prickett, and Lyndsy Welgos, Pro Anatomy also includes an introductory text by the artist as well as A-Z, a poetic script for a 2009 sound piece. In her introduction to the book, "Bad Sad Mad Glad," the artist writes intimately about her practice, covering her range of interests, from installation work and classical sculpture to Tom of Finland and new media. "I have always fed on the border," she writes, "where things are simultaneously appealing and scary-works that move from the attractive to the repulsive, grotesque, and studied. " Von Zeipel's sculpture deals directly with the cosmetic and social discourses that influence how the body is imaged and actualized. In Pro Anatomy, she introduces the myth of Narcissus as integral to how she conceptualizes her practice. In doing so, von Zeipel presents her work as it relates-and responds-to the ways our bodies are idealized, altered, and presented in life and in media. Threading in images from a CAT scan of her body throughout the book, von Zeipel offers a new perspective in her continuing engagement with the human form. Pro Anatomy presents von Zeipel's story-what Chris Ford writes is a "story of self and narcissism, techne, and courage, and audacity and hermeneutics and talent and heart and soul, deep intelligence, epistemology, too"-in a dynamic, comprehensive
