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.

For their inaugural Venice edition, Index Art Book Fair will bring sixteen art book fairs from around the world presenting their personal selection of art and artists publications, accompanied by an exciting public program.

What is the work of the African creative intellectual? Whether branded as ‘native’ by Fanon or ‘negro’ by Cruse, the vocation and commitment of Africa’s creative intellectuals and their mode of ‘self-writing’ has been under examination for much of the post-colonial era.

After his premature death from an AIDS-related illness in 1988, Robilliard left a large number of notebooks in the care of his close friend and fellow artist Andrew Heard.

Linda Carreiro and Lan “Florence” Yee refute the notion that what cannot be apprehended is worthless. Their glossary may be read as a manifesto encouraging us to pay more attention to the blurs and vagueness of our environments and thoughts, and to our societies’ invisibilities – prompting us to open our creative minds and welcome uncertainties and the unknown with generosity.

Midnight Deer Abstractions is a collaboration between artist Geoff Farnsworth and poet Erin Knight to produce limitless in-betweens and vast spaces where slight variations contain all the precisions of colour and diction, rendered immediately nebulous. Creating spectral selves, they invite us to look “between foreground and background” for the traces and sketches of identities, whose edits are vague, always disappearing to be retraced, resketched.

The Kunsthalle Linz presents itself as a white cube par excellence: a simple, empty and windowless room with white walls, gray floor and a ceiling that floods the room with light: a playground for big projects in keeping with common exhibition practice.

In December 2022, a group of sculptures by Franz West was erected on Esteplatz in Vienna-Erdberg, the location of his last studio in Vienna. From the very beginning of his artistic career, Franz West questioned the view that art objects can only be viewed reflectively. Even his earliest sculptural works, created from the mid-1970s onwards and later called Passstücke, were intended to actively involve the viewer as an equal counterpart in the process of experiencing art. The Passstücke were to be taken off the plinth and "used" - only this

Plants are among the most important materials for effective landscape design. Yet the fundamentals of plant biology and growth; their morphology, color, and functional assets; and details such as planting, pruning techniques, and maintenance practices are surprisingly absent from our education and training, which tend to focus on other core principles like drainage, grading, and spatial relationships.

»Also muss die Wahrnehmung eine instinktive Fähigkeit der Seele sein, basierend auf einer profunden und essentiellen Geometrie, jener Geometrie, die sich aus den einfachen Teilungen eines Kreises ableitet. All das hatte er schon seit langem für wahr gehalten. Nun machte es sich daran, den kurzen Schritt zur Fusion von Symbol und Objekt zu tun. Der Kreis ist der Träger der reinen Harmonien, reine Harmonien wohnen der Seele inne, also sind Seele und Kreis eins.« aus Kepler von John Banville

Why urban design is larger than architecture: the foundational qualities of urban design, examples and practitioners
Urban design in practice is incremental, but architects imagine it as scaled-up architecture—large, ready-to-build pop-up cities. This paradox of urban design is rarely addressed; indeed, urban design as a discipline lacks a theoretical foundation.

This publication picks up on several of the themes which emerge conceptually and artistically in the Central Asian Pavilion project, and elaborates them in a philosophical, historical and poetic register within the specific materiality and temporality of a book—though the website as a repository and forum for these kinds of explorations should be mentioned as well—with its capacity to extend the time, space and context of

A discreet, yet unapologetic, feminist reading of the past and present with a particular focus on deconstructing inherited notions of identity and gender. It seeks to examine the impact these have had on contemporary relational modalities in order to find new capacities to dissect the resulting interpersonal dynamics. There is a wish to pause automatisms that suffocate the mind.

Here live the near-blind. In their eyes the city dwells like aureoles on suckling lips. Here they apprehend the city with knowledge viscous and immediate. And here they also live uneasily, for tranquillity is found only in pictures they are disinclined to make.
In essays, letters and aphorisms, this book makes near-blindness tangible as one condition of living in. protracted war.
