Nicholas Hlobo's first monograph, published on the occasion of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award, traces his work from 2005 to 2009, including the making of his SBYA exhibition. Accompanying essays by Mark Gevisser, Kopano Ratele and Jen Mergel looks at aspects of Hlobo's life and work in depth. Hlobo draws strongly on his Xhosa heritage in his work, invoking the rich idioms of the Xhosa language and exploring how traditions evolve in changing times. Of equal interest to the artist is his sexual identity, and his place as a gay man within Xhosa culture. In his SBYA exhibition, Umtshotsho, Hlobo takes as his theme the rituals that accompany the transition from youth to adulthood.

Penny Siopis' new large-scale canvases draw on diverse sources for their imagery - newspapers and books, other art, direct experiences; these images are 'violent, erotic, tragic and beautiful; atavistic and elemental as well as social and analytical'. But the works are as much about materiality, chance and process, and the productive tensions between form and reference, and form and materiality, as Siopis describes in an accompanying conversation with Sarah Nuttall.

Conrad Botes' Cain and Abel is a reflection on the origins of violence, a return to the very first tale of murder as related in the Bible and Qu'ran. A gritty black and white comic first published in Bitterkomix is reworked as a series of 15 reverse-glass painted panels. In Crime and Punishment, horned male figures, their bodies inscribed with symbols, are seen to worship a lofty female figure. A series of generic portraits of men is titled Hostile Territory. There is a pervasive atmosphere of violence, horror, grit, a feeling the artist describes as 'like shrapnel under the skin'. The catalogue includes powerful new writing by Stacy Hardy which takes the works as its springboard.

Michael Stevenson's annual summer exhibition takes on a fresh format and focuses on 10 projects, some by well-known gallery artists - Nicholas Hlobo, Deborah Poynton, Nandipha Mntambo, Zanele Muholi, Youssef Nabil, Odili Donald Odita and David Goldblatt - and others by artists showing with the gallery for the first time: Paul Edmunds, Andrew Putter and Daniel Naudé. The catalogue documents the works and includes interviews, essays and stories by and on the artists.

Published by Prestel in association with the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University, Avenue Patrice Lumumba comprises Guy Tillim's photographs taken in Mozambique, DR Congo, Madagascar, Angola and Benin in 2007/8, beautifully reproduced, each photograph occupying a double-page spread. Introductory texts are by Robert Gardner and Guy Tillim, and appear in French and Portuguese as well as English. Tillim, the recipient of the first Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography, writes: 'These photographs are not collapsed histories of post-colonial African states or a meditation on aspects of late-modernist-era colonial structures, but a walk through avenues of dreams ...'

This book was published by Fundação Serralves and Civilização Editora to accompany Goldblatt's exhibition at the Museu Serralves in Portugal. For this exhibition, Goldblatt revised and extended his pairings of photographs first shown on Intersections Intersected at Michael Stevenson in January/February 2008 (Click here to view). As before, photographs from essays undertaken in the years of apartheid have been paired with photographs from Goldblatt's post-apartheid work.

Published on the occasion of Odili Donald Odita's first solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson, Double Edge comprises a suite of paintings and site-specific wall-paintings that move beyond sentimental notions associated with the painting medium. The catalogue features an interview with Odita by Joost Bosland, highlighting Odita's concerns of form and culture.

In Fear of a Black Planet - the title quoting the 1990 album by the American rap/hip-hop group Public Enemy - Kannemeyer continues his investigation of the fear and anxiety that underlie South Africa's fragile democracy and the legacy of colonialism on the African continent. He has recently extended his practice to include paintings in acrylic on canvas. The shift in medium allows him to translate his subversive imagery onto a larger scale, heightening the awkward relationship viewers often have with his work. Kannemeyer also exhibited large-scale drawings for the first time, in addition to smaller drawings and prints. The catalogue features an interview with Kannemeyer by Danie Marais.

Nicholas Hlobo's second solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson, Kwatsityw'iziko ('crossing the hearth') comprises large-scale installations, sculptural pieces and works on paper. Hlobo brings new clarity to his explorations of his favourite themes - chief among them sex, and specifically gay sex, subjected to the interpretations and innuendo of Xhosa metaphor. He also brings a new scale to his engagement with his signature materials, which include rubber inner tubing, silicone, thread and ribbons, applied to found, modified props. In addition to images of all the works, the catalogue features an interview with Hlobo by Joost Bosland.

Published by Prestel, this is Pieter Hugo's third monograph following Looking Aside (2006) and Messina/Musina (2007). Many myths surround the Hyena Men who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria's cities. Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines. Hugo's extraordinary portraits of their liminal existence reveal an uncanny world of complex, codependent relationships, where familiar distinctions between dominance and submission, wildness and domesticity, tradition and modernity are constantly subverted.

In her catalogue introduction, Siopis writes: 'Lasso speaks of the "poetics of vulnerability". Ideas work more by association than direct narration. In this, the medium is as important as image or narrative.' More than 30 of Siopis' paintings - in oil, ink and viscous glue - are reproduced in this catalogue, which accompanied her first solo show in Cape Town since 1984.

Published on the occasion of Nandipha Mntambo's first solo exhibition, Ingabisa, this catalogue brings together her works to date, including pieces produced for her BAFA and Master's degree shows. Mntambo has developed a distinctive aesthetic through her use of cowhide, which she tans and moulds onto casts of the female body. The hairy skin is used to 'challenge and subvert preconceptions regarding representation of the female body', and to 'disrupt perceptions of attraction and repulsion'. Images of the works are accompanied by an essay by Bettina Malcomess.

This catalogue accompanies Tracy Payne's third exhibition at the gallery. In Payne's early work she expressed the domination of yang over yin, and subsequent bodies of work have been concerned with bringing these energies into balance. Following her exhibition Sacred Yin (2005), Payne's mind turned to the notion of sacred yang after encountering the actions of China's Shaolin monks. Her portraits, in oils, Chinese and Japanese ink and watercolours, mostly exist in the space of meditation just prior to action, while others explore a range of emotions from inward serenity through to an outward expression of power.

This catalogue accompanies Conrad Botes' first solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson. Botes' imagination is embedded with the evils of apartheid, its obsession with power and repression, the violence and anarchy of the times and the moralising role of the Dutch Reformed Church. His latest work is less overtly concerned with politics however, opening itself up to wider concerns. A sense of masculine identity in crisis runs throughout the show, as does Botes’ distinctive comic aesthetic and dark humour.

This catalogue accompanies Botha's third solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson. The title is a neologism formed by combining 'apocalypse' and 'agnosia', and implies our inability to truly possess knowledge about the world even as it reveals itself to us. In addition to installation views of the works, the catalogue includes text, written by Botha in Afrikaans, which is rendered illegible, its meaning obscured as the letters are mirrored and distorted to form images within the body of the text.

In this series of photographs Pieter Hugo looks directly at people whose appearance makes us look aside. In doing so, he forces us to confront ourselves and our preconceptions and prejudices, and question why we are so awkward when we encounter people who are unusual in some way. This beautifully presented book is published by Punctum and contains an essay by Antjie Krog.

This large format book was jointly published by Renate Wiehager, Michael Stevenson and extraspazio (Rome) with the kind support of DaimlerChrysler AG. Guy Tillim took this series of images in July 2006 during the weeks of the Democratic Republic of Congo's first general election held since successive conflicts in the late 90s killed 3.5 million people. The images mirror the political wasteland and civic disorder that resulted from the rivalry between presidential candidates Etinenne Tshisikedi and President Josef Kabila.

The much awaited Some Afrikaners Revisited is published by Umuzi to coincide with David Goldblatt's exhibition of the same name. Between 1961 and 1968, Goldblatt photographed Afrikaners initially around small-holdings near Randfontein, next in the Marico Bushveld and then more generally. Some of the black and white photographs were reproduced in specialist magazines, but it took Goldblatt until 1975 to find a publisher for the book that he envisaged - today a much-sought-after collector's item. This new book contains all but one of the photographs reproduced in the 1975 publication (some that were previously cropped are now shown in their entirety), as well as 20 additional photographs taken at the same time.

Over the last 10 years or so, Bitterkomix has been (as one critic remarks) "consistently challenging and outrageous, undeniably brilliant, and impossible to ignore". The Big Bad Bitterkomix Handbook brings together the full range of Kannemeyer and Botes's work from the early 1990s until now, including published covers, postcards, posters and drawings from personal sketchbooks. Interspersed with these images are essays by, among others, Antjie Krog, Andy Mason, Ryk Hattingh and Gregory Kerr. The book, published by Jacana and designed by Garth Walker of Orange Juice Design, is an essential chronicle and visual cornucopia of the work of the Bitterkomix artists.

This catalogue documents Nicholas Hlobo's first solo exhibition, Izele. Hlobo has built up a distinctive body of work that engages the viewer in conversations about sexual identity, masculinity and ethnicity. To these ends he harnesses the associative potential of materials such as rubber inner tubes, ribbon, soap, silicon and found objects, and makes use of his own body in performance. Photographs of the exhibition are accompanied by texts on the work by Hlobo, from an interview with Sophie Perryer.

This catalogue features twenty-three full-colour reproductions of Maluka's paintings, as well as images of his digital works, studio shots, and an interview with the artist by Sophie Perryer. The title of the exhibition and catalogue, Accented Living (a rough guide), situates Maluka's work in today's globalised world, which is characterised by large-scale displacement and relocation. Maluka is drawing on the notion of 'accented cultures', accents being distinctive modes of expression that convey the characteristics of different regions and classes, and are only noticed once the speaker leaves his or her home territory.

The moment in which one is "about to forget" is also the moment in which one remembers. As the title of Berni Searle's exhibition and this accompanying volume suggest, this work looks at the intermediate space of memory where a sense of return and a sense of loss are simultaneously invoked. The process of forgetting entwines both the presence and absence of memory, and, in between, a series of gradually fading after-images of people and events that linger in the mind. This catalogue illustrates the exhibition, provides photographs of the process of making the work and images of source material.

In this book published to coincide with the exhibition, each work is reproduced full-page and full-colour. The plates are preceded by an interview conducted by Michael Stevenson in which Clarke talks about his life and work.

Guy Tillim spent July to September 2003 photographing traces of the colonial occupation of the Congo by King Leopold II of Belgium and vestiges of more recent plunder under Mobutu Sese Seko. This series of images was exhibited at Michael Stevenson in May 2004, and in book form is accompanied by an essay by Adam Hochschild, the author of the highly acclaimed King Leopold's ghost. Tillim's images, frequently composed in diptychs and triptychs, juxtapose historical sites in the Congo and Belgium with contemporary views of the DRC. Hochschild writes: 'Rare is the photographer whose work so well captures not only the country before his camera's lens, but also the country of a hundred or more years ago.' Published by Filigranes Éditions.

Kevin Brand's catalogue illustrates his installation titled eleven a side, inspired by the popular game of table-soccer with its twenty-two figures that swivel on rotating bars. The appearance of Brand's sculptures recalls the mass-produced forms of the table-soccer figures, and also relates stylistically to the West African figurative tradition. This is the third body of work in which Brand has used a group of male figures as a sculptural device.

Deborah Poynton's paintings have been acclaimed for their alluring imagery and accomplished technique. Although her work is rich in references to the tradition of realist painting, it is also explicitly contemporary. In these six new large scale works she employs visual metaphors to create various levels of meaning. A beach scene or family group, a market or gentle- seeming interior, all rich with classical references and often using particularly South African imagery, contain subtexts that reflect contradictions between the human condition and societal expectations; between inner and outer realities.

'These monotone enamel paintings reflect on our position as a viewer. They make us aware of ourselves in relation to a painting and, more broadly, of our persona and position in the world at large. They mirror our projections onto paintings, and blur the boundaries between the intention of the artist and our preconceptions. The viewer is integral to these paintings, and, in reality, the viewer's shadow and reflection is a fundamental part of the transient image. I paint in a studio in the city of Cape Town where I feel part of, but apart from, the masses of people, and in these paintings I play with my ambivalence toward anonymity in a familiar landscape'.

The title of this exhibition, Uniformed, reflects John Murray's interest in the contradictions between public and private in daily South African life. The uniforms that surround us in the workplace, on the sports fields, in our homes and in the street signal conformity. They suggest stereotypes, and immediately evoke assumptions about class, colour, gender and profession. However, even though the individual may conform in terms of dress, he or she remains an individual, and their private persona has usually been compressed to meet public preconceptions. In these installations Murray has been stylistically influenced by tension between the graphic, painterly and photographic elements that are often combined in the photo collages of the Russian Constructivists and early propaganda posters of communist China as well as in West African sign-writing.

Berni Searle's new body of work will include a projection and related photographic images. The work was shot on location on the Cape Flats and is inspired by the practice of cooking in large pots over open fires. This event is a point of departure for Searle's exploration of notions of collectiveness and community. By replacing food with water, the work is set up as performative and through it Searle explores the significance of the ritual but also of her own memories. Creating vapour, from which the exhibition draws its title, requires a huge amount of pressure or heat that builds up over a period of time, but once created dissipates into air and is difficult to capture. Through this process Searle could allude to events that have shaped our past and continue to inform our present. Searle was Standard Bank Young Artist for 2003, and is also one of the finalists of the Artes Mundi prize, and an overview of her recent work is also on display at Artes Mundi Shortlisted Artist's exhibition at the National Museum & Gallery in Wales, Cardiff.

This lavishly illustrated book on Hylton Nel and his work, jointly published by Michael Stevenson and the Fine Arts Society in London, includes a long and fascinating interview with Nel on his life and work. Nel describes himself as an 'artist-potter' which aptly refers to his interest in painted imagery as well as form and function. Over the past four decades he has developed a style of work that is rich in references to the decorative arts and literary and art historical sources. His plates, bowls, vases, plaques and figurative pieces are idiosyncratically decorated with witty - and sometimes poignant - line drawings and script.

The word Speculum refers to 'a medical instrument for dilating the opening of a body cavity in order to examine the interior.' Serving as a common thread between the many facets of the works, it implies a process of invasion, scrutiny, inspection and introspection. Botha's installations - which incorporate sculptures, paintings and prints - reflect on the individual's absorption into the encompassing hierarchical structures of statehood and society. By visually interfering with venerated forms of art, artefact and decoration, he offers comment on the distorted and ephemeral nature of grandeur and tradition. In several of his installations this subversion of symbolic imagery alludes to the slow but inevitable decay that edifices to authority and self-importance are bound to undergo.

Goldblatt has been working on the Particulars series for many years, and in this publication he brings together photographs of South Africa people illustrating how a small detail of a body, clothing, hair or skin can lead a viewer to make judgments about class and colour, and time and place. The book will be published in five colours on 250 gsm acid free, dioxin free Job Parilux paper manufactured from chlorine free pulp in an edition of 100 collectors' copies and 500 standard copies. Of these, 100 copies and 20 author's proofs were supplied in hand-made slip-cases, each with a 203 x 254 mm silver print, processed to archival standards, of one of four of the photographs in the book. The prints were made by Dennis da Silva of Silvertone International, Johannesburg. The prints have been signed by the author, and the slip-cased books signed and numbered opposite the title page.

Boshoff has been writing dictionaries and concrete poetry since 1977. He combines these two esoteric disciplines in the making of three-dimensional 'books' so large that one may walk around in them. His exhibition Licked at Michael Stevenson Contemporary is a combination of such written visual poetry and three-dimensional encyclopædic installations.

Boshoff's first dictionary dealt with colour terms and, over the years, he has prepared dictionaries of 'manias and phobias', 'morphology', 'psychological terms', 'rhetoric', 'the eye and vision', 'difficult English', '-ologies and '-isms', 'strange financial terms', 'monsters and demons', 'objectionable terms,' 'rude names' and 'winds of the world'. Many of these have become major installations. One of these conceptual installations, Garden of Words I, is included in this exhibition.

"Cape Flats" refers to the vast stretch of exposed sandy wetlands that lie north of Table Mountain and which now forms a large part of the metropolitan region of Cape Town. Racked by the harsh south-easter and frequently flooded in winter, the Cape Flats is highly unsuitable for residential purposes. But today it has become home to close on a million people.

The use of the term "details" stands in contrast to the general appearance of the townships as a bleak and colourless environment - an environment, which over time, challenges one to seek and unveil hidden layers. It is in these "details" that Ledochowski found individual and collective expression of creativity and resilience that give positive meaning and definition to peoples' lives.

His works present public and private images of hope tha bring together and convey tradition and modernity, stability and change, faith and despair. Against the rigid domination by apartheid, so physically represented in the construction of township living spaces, people created and nurtured a culture that was under their control.

Taken in February 2002 in the Angolan province of Bie, near Kuito, the series of images portrays displaced people, who in the months before the end of the civil war, fled in advance of the Angolan government's "clearing" of regions where civilians had provided cover for UNITA soldiers. The subjects had walked for five days from Monge to seek refuge in the small town of Kunhinga in the safe havens provided by foreign agencies stationed in the area. These colour portraits are a new departure for Tillim who is best known for his black-and-white reportage.

A collection of black and white photographs by Guy Tillim, was released to concide with country-wide exhibitions of items from the book. Departure displays Tillim's distinctive aesthetic. His images are often of harsh realities, but he is seldom invasive or confrontational in his approach. He tends to look at situations from a side view, as a passive but empathetic spectator, and seeks an unusual yet humane moment to provide a lingering disquiet to the image.

A fascinating study of the Randlords, their backgrounds and the accumulation of their fortunes on the diamond fields of Kimberley. The discovery of diamonds and gold in South Africa during the second half of the nineteenth century created unique opportunities for a handful of men to accumulate enormous wealth very rapidly. At the end of the century they were among the richest and most powerful individuals in the world. Most of them settled in Britain and adopted would-be aristocratic life-styles, soon becoming known as the 'South African millionaires' or 'Randlords'.

Craving social acceptance and recognition, they constructed upper-class identities to transcend their modest, in some cases humble, backgrounds. They systematically acquired and displayed properties and possessions that symbolised wealth and power in Europe. Arguably, their most symbolic expenditure was on art, which they bought with the same zeal they had devoted to trading in gold and diamonds in South Africa.

This selection of fifty compelling photographs of people from south and east Africa offers an opportunity to re-evaluate the colonial photography of these regions. During this era, indigenous subjects usually struggled to retain their dignity and composure in the exploitative lens of the European traveller, tourist, scientist and commercial photographer. In those instances when the sitter's humanity survived the racial prejudices and technology of the time, the images often transcend their role as historical records and can be seen as provocative and poignant works of art.

This, the first book devoted to beadwork from the eastern regions of southern Africa, illustrates in full colour 260 pieces of beadwork dating from 1850 to 1910. It firmly places beadwork as an art form to be displayed in art galleries and researched by art historians rather than as an artefact of interest only to ethnographers.

Based on the collection of art dealers Michael Stevenson and Michael Graham-Stewart, it demonstrates the breadth and astonishing artistry of women beadworkers from the subcontinent. Together Stevenson and Graham-Stewart have acquired pieces that were collected and taken back to Europe by colonial officials, travellers, missionaries and soldiers.

A detailed study of the artist's life and work. These works, exhibited in Cape Town and Johannesburg reawaked an appreciation for abstract South African art from the 1950s and 1960s.

"Abstraction is a rich and complex vein in South African art that is underrated and undervalued," said Stevenson. "Internationally works engaging with abstraction enjoy widespread critical acclaim and economic appreciation. We believe that with time the South African art in this vein will also come to be reconsidered for its aesthetic integrity and significance in the history of art".

Published by Christie's, this book formed part of the first major exhibition held in London in August 1999 that focused on Thomas Baines' lifelong interest in the natural history of southern Africa. The exhibition was curated by Michael Stevenson from the extensive, but little-known collections of Baines' work held by the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Natural History Museum in London. The original works, presented to these institutions by Baines, have seldom been exhibited and are lavishly reproduced in this volume. Essays on Baines by specialist writers deal with the artist's passion for botany, astronomy, geology, ethnography, photography, cartography, zoology and ornithology. Extensive appendices with transcripts of the artist's letters, archived at the institutions, are included in this volume. The book is a worthy addition to any Africana collection and will be of interest especially to those who are fascinated by this talented artist and explorer.
