‎Clip, stamp, fold: the radical architecture of little magazines, 196x-197x‎

‎An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate.Clip/Stamp/Foldtakes stock of seventy little magazines from this period that were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term little magazine was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. The terms little and magazine are not taken at face value. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip/Stamp/Foldincludes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced moments of littleness, influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.Beatriz Colomina is Professor of Architecture and Founding Director of the Program in Media and Modernity at Princeton University. — Testi: Colomina Beatriz. pagg. 390; rileg. rigida.

‎The Latin American Photobook‎

‎A growing appreciation of the photobook has inspired a flood of new scholarship and connoisseurship of the form--few as surprising and inspiring as The Latin American Photobook, the culmination of a four-year, cross-continental research effort led by Horacio Fernandez, author of the seminal volume Fotografia P blica. Compiled with the input of a committee of researchers, scholars, and photographers, including Marcelo Brodsky, Iat Cannabrava, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio and Martin Parr, The Latin American Photobookpresents 150 volumes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela. It begins with the 1920s and continues up to today, providing revelatory perspectives on the under-charted history of Latin American photography, and featuring work by great figures such as Claudia Andujar, Barbara Br ndli, Manuel lvarez Bravo, Horacio Coppola, Paz Err zuriz, Graciela Iturbide, Sara Facio, Paolo Gasparini, Daniel Gonz lez, Boris Kossoy, Sergio Larrain and many others. The book is divided into thematic sections such as "The City," "Conceptual Art and Photography" and "Photography and Literature," the latter a category uniquely important to Latin America. Fernandez's texts, exhaustively researched and richly illustrated, offer insight not only on each individual title and photographer, but on the multivalent social, political, and artistic histories of the region as well. This book is an unparalleled resource for those interested in Latin American photography or in discovering these heretofore unknown gems in the history of the photobook at large. — Testi: Fernandez Horacio. pagg. 256; COL e BN; rileg. rigida.

‎Punk: periodical collection‎

‎Punk: periodical collection, On self-publishing practices, a book by Paul Gangloff, assembles interviews interspersed with a series of collages made during a collective graphic experiment at the Jan van Eyck Academie. In the series of interviews, Christophe Boutin, Didier Christen, Hans-Christian Dany, Stephan Dillemuth, Martijn Haas, Roberto Ohrt, Gee Vaucher and others speak about anarcho-punk, bohemian research, city magazines, design, Do-It-Yourself, fanzines, open houses, imposters, insults, means of production, post-punk, pre-Xerox, self-organization, the Situationist International, strategy and zines. “The first half of fanzine stands for fan as in fanatic. The fan makes a fanzine about his or her idol. The word punkzine came as a substitute at a point when punk rejected fanaticism, which has to do with adoration. Zines are not designed; rather, they are made. Making a zine could be a way to become a designer, but it may also be a way out of the position of designer. On the one hand, it is a question of self-empowerment: rather making a zine than inscribing oneself into existing magazines. On the other hand, it is about overstepping the boundaries of a profession, in order to play several roles as a dilettante. Punkzines are not solely interesting as the visual style of a bygone epoch, as a “source of inspiration” or for direct recuperation. Rather, things may be learned from a study of the spirit in which they were made.” — Testi: Gangloff Paul. F.to: 16,5x23,5; pagg. 192; BN; rileg. brossura.

‎QUARANTANNI. Galleria Minini 1973-2013‎

‎C’era una volta un mondo diverso, non peggio del nostro, non meglio, chissà. Comunque c’era, quel mondo, ed era lì bello e pronto per essere visto anche da noi comuni mortali, turisti per curiosità, non eroici pionieri dell’Africa, ma onesti viaggiatori sulle topolino amaranto, sulle Dauphine Renault, sull’Anglia, sulla Cinquecento Fiat. Il mondo era una scoperta, anche se era già stato scoperto da tempo, ma noi lo vedevamo per la prima volta e non potevamo non comunicare questa gioia ad amici e parenti. Come potevamo far parte ai nostri cari di tutto questo? Ma con le cartoline! Piccole colorate immagini di vacanza, spiagge con gli ombrelloni, montagne con la neve, una sciatrice a Cortina che fa lo Sten Christiania, le Alpi svizzere con le mucche, Tirolesi che suonano il grande corno... Gli artisti non facevano eccezione, e come vecchie zie, ci mandavano foto delle bambine appena nate, improbabili cartoline di un ristorante kitsch, stadi di calcio strapieni di folla, cartoline molto d’avanguardia con soggetti molto di retroguardia. Qualche artista, senza modestia, ci mandava il proprio ritratto o una propria opera a mo’ di memento, non si sa mai, magari ce ne dimenticassimo.‎

‎Architectural and Cultural Guide Pyongyang‎

‎Ambitiously designed community buildings, faceless mass hous&#xAC;ing developments, and a monumental emptiness are the defining features of Pyongyang a city of three million inhabitants rising from the rubble to which the Korean War reducedit in the 1950s. This architectural guide to the capital of the Democratic People s Republic of Korea has two parts comprising a total of 368 pages. While Volume 1 offers a selection of images and information on nearly one hundred buildings in Pyongyang provided by the PyongyangForeign Languages Publishing House and presented here without further commentary, Volume 2 sets this material within its architectural and historical context. <br><br> The Architectural and Cultural Guide Pyongyang offers unprecedented insights into the capital of what is probably the most isolated country in the world, ruled in the third generation by a first family stubbornly upholding its own brand of stone-age communism. — Testi: Meuser Philipp. F.to: 13,5x24,5; pagg. 368; 450 ills; rileg. brossura.

‎Richter Gerhard‎

‎Gerhard Richter: Books‎

‎Gerhard Richter (born 1932) is predominantly known for his paintings and drawings, which strike a playful balance between photo-realism and abstraction, while at once delving into often controversial political commentary. His works have explored a multitude of media, from photo-based, monochrome and brightly colored paintings to ink-doused papers and thin, multicolored strips of pure pattern. Beyond his artistic works, and particularly in recent years, Richter has published extensively on his vision of art and artistic values: in letters, interviews, public statements, excerpts and articles, Richter has established himself as a brilliant advocate of contemporary painting. Richter has also increasingly explored the possibilities of the book as medium in a series of extraordinary artist's books. <I>Gerhard Richter: Books</I> takes an in-depth look at his work in this medium. It features a book-length interview with the artist by internationally renowned art critic and historian Hans Ulrich Obrist, who walks us through the Richter archive and discusses the work with the artist himself, affording the reader an entirely new perspective on his works. The book also includes a new text by Kunstmuseum Winterthur director Dieter Schwarz. — Testi: Schwartz Dieter, Obrist Hans Ulrich. pagg. 122; rileg. brossura. Editore: Gregory R.

‎The Book on Books on Artists Books: Second Expanded Edition‎

‎Arnaud Desjardin's <I>The Book on Books on Artists Books</I> is a bibliography of books, pamphlets, dealer catalogues and other printed materials on artists' books that takes stock of a wide variety of publications on artists' books since the early 1970s to assess the historical documentation of distribution, circulation and reception in the field. Together, these materials constitute a unique history of the overlooked ephemera produced by the exhibiting, publishing, disseminating and collecting of artists' books during the last 40 years. Desjardin's criterion for inclusion was to include only informational material on artists' books, rather than critical writing or theoretical texts. Consummately researched, with more than 600 entries, <I>The Book on Books on Artists Books</I> constitutes a groundbreaking bibliography that will prove essential for scholars, librarians and fans of artists' books. — Testi: Desjardin Arnaud.

‎Frank Robert‎

‎Robert Frank. Books and Films, 1947-2014‎

‎Catalogue of the exhibition "Robert Frank | Books and Film, 1947–2014 ", a special edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung — in original format and typography. Robert Frank is considered the inventor of street photography. Many of his pictures were shot from the hip , from the moving car in the middle of a bar or even hidden in the park. "I had to be very fast easy when I photographed people," he says about the way he has made the mid-fifties on his tour of America 's pictures . Very quickly must also Zeitung wrote in the afternoon , at night printed in the morning in the mailbox. So it is therefore only logical that Frank's recordings for once not worth millions assured Gelatin Silver Prints are shown framed for eternity , but on paper, from which the Süddeutsche Zeitung is made every day. The complete works of Robert Frank is printed by Gerhard Steidl by acrylic inkjet printing on up to four meters long paths of newspaper and then glued directly onto the walls. As Frank himself first heard at his home in the Canadian Mabou from this show idea, he said: "Cheap, quick, and dirty, that's how I like it!". — Testi: Rühle Alex.

‎La revue d'artiste - Enjeux et spécificités d'une pratique artistiqu0‎

‎En s’appuyant sur un nombre significatif d’exemples de la fin des années 1950 à aujourd’hui, cet ouvrage examine la façon dont les artistes investissent la revue pour en faire le lieu d’une pratique à part entière. Après avoir rappelé les principales caractéristiques de la revue d’artiste (et les nombreuses zones de chevauchement avec d’autres pratiques éditoriales), ainsi que les conditions liées à son développement, l’essai se concentre sur les enjeux qui accompagnent le choix de ce médium artistique, dont la particularité est d’être aussi un média. Un ensemble de spécificités se dessinent au fil de l’ouvrage, tissant des liens entre des projets pourtant très différents de prime abord. L’analyse des publications permet ainsi d’observer tour à tour le rapport particulier qui s’instaure entre les revues d’artistes et la grande presse – de la rupture sans appel à la parodie, en passant par son usage comme source inépuisable de textes et d’images –, la manière dont la reproduction participe des projets ou encore, la volonté d’autonomie souvent à l’origine des publications d’artistes. Une attention particulière est portée à la façon dont les artistes éditeurs composent avec leur indépendance, ce qu’elle permet et/ou implique sur le plan artistique, politique et économique. Cela amène à réaffirmer les modalités spécifiques de création et de réception qui accompagnent cette pratique, inhérentes à la dimension collective de la revue, à sa nature sérielle et à la relation multiple qu’elle entretient avec le temps. Marie Boivent est maître de conférences en Arts Plastiques à l'université de Rennes 2. Elle est spécialiste des revues d'artistes, thème auquel elle a consacré sa thèse de doctorat et de nombreux articles (parus dans la Nouvelle Revue d'esthétique, Pratiques, Marges, Kritische berichte, La Revue des Revues, etc.). Elle a également organisé plusieurs expositions, journées d'études et colloques, dont récemment le symposium international « The Territories of artists' periodicals » à la Wisconsin-Green Bay University, Etats-Unis, avec Stephen Perkins. Elle co-dirige les Éditions Provisoires avec Matthieu Saladin. — Testi: Boivent Marie. F.to: 18,5x22,5; pagg. 456; BN; rileg. brossura. Editore: Revue, 2015.‎

‎1966-1977. Compendium of Publications [2nd edition]‎

‎“1966-1977. Compendium of Publications” è un’antologia di libri sezionati in un lasso temporale che raccoglie eventi rivoluzionari in pubblicazioni inedite e particolari. La traiettoria e la selezione in pagina unisce il libro d'artista raro al volume di nicchia, alla rivista politica, al catalogo d'arte, alla pubblicazione tecnica o ideologica a tiratura industriale. L'inizio (1966) è segnato con il numero 8 della rivista attivista olandese Provo e fa scaturire un percorso fotografico che esplora copertine, aperture e dettagli; intermezzi sono le didascalie che spiegano e focalizzano il periodo nelle sue sfaccettature. Si sfogliano infatti: il Vietnam, LSD, cultura Hippie e psichedelia, il '68 francese, le scene alternative, l'utopia e la cibernetica, la conquista dello spazio, la primavera di Praga, Woodstock, musica e sex liberation, superarchitettura ed Archigram, Black Panther e la stampa libera ed attivista, lo spazio dell'immagine colta e quella popolare del rotocalco, l'arte e il concetto, il poverismo e la dematerializzazione dell'arte, editoria politica in tabloid e almanacchi, visione ed azioni dell'arte, il libro rosso di Mao, The Mark Spitz Complete Book of Swimming, l'avvento del VHS, il modernismo e la pratica critica, e, per chiudere, la ricerca della distruzione Punk (1977). — Testi: Martegani Amedeo, Cendron Marco et al.
