Visual and textual narratives coexist in the book, as this type of material needs not only visual but also textual support. They address the given subject in the wider chronological order: from the 20th century avant-garde to the present.

UN is a photographic diary by Giovanna Silva guiding us through the United Nations Office headquarters in Geneva. A chat-like narration unveils spaces, thoughts, eye catching details and is overlapped by images of halls, old phone booths filled with plastic wrap, textured walls, floors and ceilings, rows of tables and chairs, either straight or curving, like rollercoasters.

The book, Architecture as Fabulated Reality, marks the culmination of AAPK’s four experimental architectural projects, which employed virtual reality technology (VR) as the primary medium.

Brice Dellsperger pushes the boundaries of genre and gender.

Bodies are agents and products of history. Bodies are history made flesh, but they are also primary tools for understanding the past, present and future. History is a choreographed sequence of gestures that makes bodies intelligible to each other. Every gesture is a link in a chain binding us to gender, race and social class. Gestures solidify into identities. They enact identities that become natural through the systematic repetition of identical

Rab-Rab Press announces the publication of Free Jazz Communism, a new book actualising Archie Shepp–Bill Dixon Quartet at the 8th World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki 1962.

African art history continues to be dominated by Western scholars who set the tone for the field. Their cultural frames of reference, which they cast as universal, exert influence on the interpretation of African art, social conditions, and cultural milieu. The knowledge produced in most institutions and academic or independent publishers outside of Africa communicates the extant system in place within those localities. In other words, the audience for such forms of knowledge production is not (necessarily) in Africa.

Significantly expanding the scope and functions of the HaFI pamphlet series, Ben Alper and Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa present visual unknowns and forgotten gestures from the defunct archives of American mid-century news photography. Carefully curated and collated, their iconographic essay, a Bilderatlas of sorts, explores in depth the notion of “hide,” and of what forces normative relations to the visible serve to veil. How can, how should these images be looked at? And how do they unsettle the contemporary gaze?

What is the lesson of the vine? I asked artists, writers and winegrowers the question and their responses, reflections and songs are gathered together in this publication. Textual images are roused and conjured up, such as the insatiable mouth of the winelouse devouring the language of the vine; or the surge and flow of the vine-triloquist speaking in intoxicated tongues; nocturnal fires in the vineyards; gardens of paradise and gardens of errors.

This small publication is an edited reprint of the essay ‘The Book in Intermediary Form’ written by Kasper Andreasen. It was originally published in 2011 by Wintertuin, Nijmegen as part of a compilation about the future of the book. The essay argues for a possible scenario leading up to a hypothesis about an audio­visual book. How can artists’ books be audio­visual objects?

In Klara Kayser's water-proof pocket book of poetry, Hygiene, the Düsseldorf-based artist nibbles at the surfaces of our bodies, desires, and ideas and through words constitutes what washes off and what sticks. Kayser's interest in the human body is a theology of slapstick, translating form into a poetic language that hums the dramatic rhythm of a pick-me-up-and-drop-me-low pop song.
