LEIGH LEDARE Double Bind Artwork consisting  of 3 volumes, Double Bind is created from two series of photographs taken during two successive photoshoots. The artist questions the notion of intimacy in comparison with a selection of images extracted from popular iconography.  ALLAN McCOLLUM The Book of Shapes The Book of Shapes is a major art work consisting of two volumes. This work identifies the forms and the creative system behind the famous Shapes from the Shapes Project.  JIM SHAW Dream Object Book Dream Object Book is the only testimony of the imaginary miniature exhibition made by Jim Shaw before he destroyed his scale model museum in 2007. But in the second part of the book, it is also the catalogue raisonné of the series of Dream Objects.  Fantasy and reality are here brought together. #fineartmagazine
