White boards with color illustration and black text. 295 pp. Color and bw illustrations. Signed & inscribed by author on title page. "Absurd Thinking: Between Art and Design is a survey of work by artist/architect Allan Wexler. The book features projects developed across the artist's forty-five-year career that mediate the gap between fine and applied art using the mediums of architecture sculpture photography painting and drawing. Wexler's works can be broadly described as tactile poetry composed by re-framing the ordinary. They sustain a narrative about landscape nature and the built environment that highlights the intriguing and surprising characteristics latent in the elements and rituals that pervade daily life. Wexler's work is sometimes functional sometimes theoretical and often a hybrid of the two. In all cases it demonstrates a commitment to re-evaluating basic assumptions about the human relationship to the built and natural environments. Organized thematically across four categories--Abstraction Landscape Private Space and Public Places--this book is a richly illustrated cross-section of Wexler's multi-scale multi-media work featuring his own writings narratives and reflections" Lars Muller Publishers hardcover books
