The richly illustrated book Without and within: essays on territory and the interior contains a series of essays that trace a thread of ideas, images and projections that connect the American territory as conceived by Thomas Jefferson to the contemporary continuous interior environment ubiquitous in public experience.

A poignant news photograph, a striking headline or a major international event: for more than forty years Kees de Goede (1954) has been responding very tangibly to the news. For his series of Astral drawings he uses newspapers as subject matter and as the image support.

The Thinking Foot is a study of history and associations. In method and form it claims to be no more (nor less) than an illustrated essay on the architectural expression of surface.

Spanning from the opulent displays of the early 20th century to the radical performances of today, this book bridges commerce, creativity, and societal change.

Die Sahara ist die größte Wüste der Welt, gefüllt mit Sandmeeren, Kiesebenen, die sich bis zum Horizont erstrecken, Sandsteinbergen und Vulkanen, die bis zu 3.000 Meter hoch sind. Im Dezember 2022 und Januar 2023 unternahm die Fotografin Barbara Seyr zusammen mit dem Schriftsteller Raoul Schrott und seinem Team eine Reise dorthin. Von Algier nach Tamanrasset, vom Mittelmeer i

Felix Orsini-Rosenberg zählte zweifelsohne zu den prägendsten Personen, die zu einer aufgeschlossenen Denkweise über Architektur und ihre Entwicklung nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg in Kärnten beitrugen. Er wirkte aber auch über den regionalen Bereich hinaus in seiner stets auf wesentliche kulturelle Inhalte ausgerichteten, zugleich bescheidenen,

1932 veröffentlichte Karl Fränkel ein in einer Kleinstauflage auf seiner Handpresse gedrucktes Bilderbuch, das aus 12 teils handkolorierten Holzschnitten mit dazu passenden Versen besteht und von Hand als Blockbuch gebunden wurde.

‘Professor M looked down at his paunch and sighed. At 56 his physical decline, long established, hadn't got any easier to endure. Work didn't help. And neither would this meeting. In fact, he was dreading it. If she had shown his letter to the Dean he was done, and he knew it was his own doing. What a fool. He knew he had been kidding himself. Times had changed, and he knew that too.

This publication is the late outcome of a small symposium that took place in 2013 at the subject area time and space arts at the Academy of Fine Arts at Uniarts Helsinki.

"body to book” is an upcycling project that explores the relationship between the human body and books. It comprises six sculptures assembled from coat fragments and books, each covering a naked body. This arrangement invites explorations of sensuality and intimacy and encourages direct interaction with the subject. Through calling us to examine the subtle interactions between the body and the books, it offers new perspectives for artistic, philosophical and personal reflection on matter, media and the human condition.

Alcohol Makes You Invincible by dddddddumar Fukunovo (a.k.a. Dumar Brown, a.k.a. Nov York) takes place where many twenty-first century death cult stories take place, the post-apocalyptic now.

Johanna Drucker’s Diagrammatic Writing is a poetic demonstration of the capacity of format to produce meaning. The articulation of the codex as a site for meaning-makinghas rarely (if ever) been subject to such highly focused and detailed study as in this volume,

Der Berliner Schlüssel von Bruno Latour liest sich als wunderbar klarer Text, der nicht nur Latours Verständnis unserer Gesellschaft verdeutlicht, sondern gleichzeitig auch einen für viele Berliner alltäglichen und doch mysteriösen Gegenstand bespricht: Diesen Schlüssel mit doppeltem Bart, der vor 100 Jahren

In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared fascination. Departing from this imbalance,

Städte sind Orte der Vielfalt. Diese Vielfalt ist einer der Schlüssel, den großen Herausforderungen der Menschheit gestaltend zu begegnen. Wie werden aus passiv Konsumierenden aktiv Gestaltende? Welche sind die Orte, an denen

Wenn wir angesichts des aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Wandels über radikale Veränderungen des Zusammenlebens nachdenken, müssen dabei auch das Wohnen und die zugehörigen Prozesse und Ressourcen miteingeschlossen werden.

Neue Straßen überwinden das Leitbild der autogerech­ten Stadt und zeigen so die wiedergefundene Bedeutung öffentlichen Raums auf. So werden aus reinen Verbin­dungs- und Erschließungslinien multifunktionale Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsräume.
/
New streets overcome the model of the car-friendly city and thus demonstrate the rediscovered importance of public space. In this way, pure connecting and access routes are transformed into multifunctional recreational and meeting spaces.

These creative spaces were incubators of radical thinking, in which artists could exchange provocative ideas. They were welcoming environments for artists, dancers, designers, writers, and musicians pushing the boundaries of cultural and social norms.

Short bursts of sound produced with my own voice traverse the space. The tones of sound collide, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant, calling across the space, measuring and defining the architecture. The sounds are produced by a pair of parabolic reflectors facing each other.

Susan Philipsz is one of the internationally most renowned contemporary artists. Her art explores the boundaries between sculpture and sound, between materiality and immateriality.

159 Anekdoten, zusammengetragen aus dem weit gespannten Beziehungsnetz des 1998 verstorbenen Dieter Roth, erzählen die Geschichte eben dieses Künstlers, den viele Fachleute zurecht zu den genialsten unserer Epoche zählen. Was die aufwändige Recherche des Herausgebers Aldo Frei hier zu Tage befördert, was sich der wohl letzte Universalkünstler an halsbrecherischen Unternehmen, an künstlerischen Experimenten,

Books are a meeting place. A sum of their many parts and artistic approaches. Form, concept, material and craft are bound together to create something rooted in its functionality, a process that often crosses over into the messier realm of art.

Jasper Johns (b. 1930) is arguably the most influential artist living today. Over the past 65 years, he has produced a radical and varied body of work marked by constant reinvention. Inspired by the artist&;s long-standing fascination with mirroring and doubles, this book provides an original and exciting perspective on Johns&;s work and its continued relevance.

Pasolinis Schriften zu Politik und Gesellschaft zählen zu den Höhepunkten der italienischen Literatur. Sie sind bekannt für ihre scharfsinnige Analyse der Situation Italiens rund um die 'zweite industrielle Revolution'. Voraussetzung dafür war Pasolinis immer wieder gegen die kommunistische Partei Italiens geltend gemachtes Bekenntnis zum Marxismus als einziger Lösung 'nicht nur für die Gesellschaft, sondern für den Menschen schlechthin'.

Beginning in the 1990s, the efflorescence of a technology-driven, ostensibly post-industrial “new economy” brought with it a revival of interest in an array of concepts and discourses relating systems and systems thinking that had animated both progressive utopian projects of the 1960s and 70s and the totalizing global geopolitical schemas of the Cold War.

The Fountains of Za'atari is the articulated project that artist Margherita Moscardini has been developing since 2015 from her study of refugee camps as urban realities meant to last.

The Albanian Handbook for Art and Education is an ongoing, bilingual and freely accessible publication dealing with art and education in Albania, tracing a history that is still only partially accessible and complex to unravel.

This book is aimed at tracing a connection between the architecture of the Albanian tradition and the informal nature of the spontaneous transformations of contemporary Tirana. The attempt to establish a link between the opposing features of functionalist formalism, typical of the city that grew during the totalitarian regimes, and those of the informal architecture, which represent the constructive freedom of recent times aims to provide a critical interpretation that is applicable to recent interventions for the recovery of the existing built heritage.
