n.paradoxa Booklist
Search by Country
Notes: Monographs and individual artists' exhibition catalogues are not included in this list, except where they are explicitly feminist and provide a key role model for feminist art practice. You can look at exhibitions and anthologies separately by moving to those pages.
For authors' last names use capital letter first. For those beginning with "A", type "A" or use the first 3 letters of their last name.
The country search uses full English names, e.g. The Netherlands, except for USA and UK. "International" (use Capital "I") is the category used for projects where artists from more than 3 countries are involved. Books and exhibitions under "International" are in addition to those listed as individual countries. New sections have been added for geographical regions/ continents: Asia, Africa, Pacific, Middle East, South America, Scandanavia. These categories are in addition to individual countries listed. So, for searches in Africa, look also in Nigeria and Egypt.
The title search is limited to words used in the title, it does not provide a keyword or subject search facility. This search is for one word only, no boolean (multiple) searches are supported. Artists' last names can also be searched in the title section, if they are in a book or exhibition title.

Orla Barry Portable Stones exhibition catalogue (Belgium: SMAK, 2005) ISBN: 90-7567-918-1
The first two sections of this catalogue are documentation of several major projects by the artist since 1991, from her graphic and paper-based installations like The Barmaid's Notebook and Year X to both the scripts and stills from five of her video/ films including A Tear for a Glass of Water and Portable Stones. The third part contains 2 essays by Eva Wittocx and Enrique Juncosa with an interview from 2004 between the artist and Bruce Haines (the 3 curators from each of the exhibition venues: SMAK; London, Camden Arts Centre, end 2005-2006; Dublin, Irish Museum of Modern Art, 2006). Working between Belgium and Ireland, Barry's video work offers some compelling monologues, primarily focused on a female character, often in trouble, seeking a new direction, a way to make sense of the world or a means to announce their own position on life, art and sensual existence in the world.

Kathy Prendergast The End and the Beginning
London: Merrell Publishers and Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 1999
ISBN 1-85894-096-6
This beautifully illustrated catalogue was published to coincide with a major solo exhibition of Kathy Prendergast's at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. The acquisition of the 113 City Drawings - soft delicate pencil drawings which render again the aerial-view street maps of 113 different cities in the world - by IMMA was the principle reason for the exhibition. The exhibition also included Prendergast's sculptures, which employ thread, hair wool and cloth with found and domestic materials to create strange and wondrous sculptures which verge towards the surreal in their explorations of sexuality and sensuality. The main essay in the book is written by Francis McKee.

Gent: Imschoot,1997. ISBN 90-729191-86-2
'It seems that sometimes the space between a full stop
and the next sentence is not enough
The Bitter Peacock spreads her tail'
This quote from the book jacket is but a small taster of the mode of reflection employed by Orla Barry in this fascinating book. It's an insight into her thought practice; her use of word association, language plays; edited and juxtaposed fragments of sense and nonsense; a blend of verbal prose poetry about love, relationships, passions, alcohol and the attempt to articulate how the world makes sense. The book also contains the first draft of A Tear for A Glass of Water.
