James Nares
\"This definitive monograph, produced in close collaboration with the artist, surveys the entirety of his career. Ed Halter considers the development of Nares's moving-image works, while Glenn O'Brien appraises his \"action painting.\" Looking across media, Amy Taubin finds similar themes and strategies throughout Nares's practice. These essays are complemented by an illuminating conversation between Nares and longtime friend and fellow artist Christopher Wool. The book is illustrated with hundreds of film stills, vibrant paintings, performance photographs, and archival materials, the majority of which has never before been published\"--Inside jacket flap.

Performa 13
First performed at Documenta 13 in 2012, the unfortunately titled Disabled Theatercalling it Theater HORA, after the company, would have fallen more in line with the rest of the series's proper names-featured ten actors from the group performing one by one. In Ryan McNamara's ME3M: A Story Ballet About the Internet, 2013, audience members were separated to watch different performances in the various spaces of a single theater, recalling the way we click from one YouTube clip to the next, with multiple windows open on our computers. (Because we were always aware that another, possibly better dance was happening around the corner, the work also dramatized fomo-fear of missing out-that pervasive social anxiety as yet unlisted in the DSM.) However, instead of allowing viewers to wander freely from one room to the next, McNamara employed \"people movers\" to wheel us around as we sat in chairs, exaggerating our passivity and atomizing our experience.

Anna Boghiguian: SAFAR KHAN GALLERY
In her forty-year career as a widely respected artist, Anna Boghiguian has frequently depicted Cairo, where she was born and lives. Her 2003 book Anna's Egypt offered a personal tour via text and artwork through the neighborhoods of that city, with briefer forays into Alexandria, home of the Greek poet Constantine Cavafy (a longtime inspiration) and other parts of the country. Boghiguian's recent show once again focused on her homeland, along with another favorite locale, India-- more specifically, on the rivers that run through them, the Nile and the Ganges.

Anna Boghiguian
In lieu of the densely filled drawings of people and places found in Anna's Egypt and throughout the artist's oeuvre, however, the work on view at Safar Khan primarily depicted scenes either unpopulated or inhabited by figures engaged in solitary activity. [...] the exhibition opened with fifty-one works, but one of the strongest pieces - Sailor Sleeping, a bloodred Baconesque acrylic of a figure in an abstracted room - sold immediately and quickly disappeared from the gallery when the buyer left the country.

Past Imperfect
The contemporary art scene in Beirut, as is typical of the Middle East, operates largely outside the system of commercial galleries and public institutions; it has thrived, however, as a tight-knit collaborative community within the alternative infrastructure created by local nonprofit arts organizations. The event adopted the forum's conventional format, with nine days of lectures, panels, screenings, performances, and associated exhibitions at some eight different locations, ranging from the Masrah al Madina theater in western Beirut and commercial art galleries to a children's science museum and a church crypt.
