Edition Reuss Naked Girls With Small Breasts 2
Book SynopsisI've noticed that when I photograph a girl and she later gets implants, the photos with smaller, natural breasts always look better. I get that it's just a preference and women look beautiful with all sizes and chemical compounds, I just prefer the natural look. Nowadays it's time again to celebrate these compact girls and their mini-mammaries. Dave Naz.

BIS Publishers B.V. Made in China, Designed in California, Criticised
Book SynopsisWhen everything is destined to be designed, design disappears into the everyday. We simply do not see it anymore because it is everywhere. This is the vanishing act of design. At this moment, design registers its redundancy: our products, environments and services have been comprehensively improved. Everything has been designed to perfection and is under a permanent upgrade regime. Within such a paradigm, design is taken over by the capitalist logic of reproduction. But this does not come without conflicts, struggles and tensions. The most obvious of these, is that design is constantly being replaced. Our dispense culture prompts a yearning for longevity. The compulsion to delete brings alive a desire to retrieve objects, ideas and experiences that refuse to become obsolete. Society is growing more aware of sustainability and alert to the depletion of this world. For the ambitious designer, it is time to take the next step: designing the future with a more holistic consideration and approach. The book is a critical look at the design world with its various design disciplines and how these have developed in the past 10 years. Made in China, Designed in California, Criticised in Europe is for professional designers that care about design, the environment and how we live.

Yale University Press Abstract Bodies
Book SynopsisAn innovative analysis of 1960s abstract sculpture that draws on transgender studies and queer theoryTrade Review“Abstract Bodies is an extraordinarily imaginative book. It makes unexpected yet absolutely compelling links between artworks and transgender logics or ways of thinking that are easily overlooked or misperceived from traditional disciplinary approaches.”—Ramzi Fawaz, Transgender Studies Quarterly“David Getsy is a key voice among a new generation of art historians.”—Art in America“Highly recommended.”—Choice“In bringing to light a grossly neglected approach to the topic and action of gendering in art production and interpretation, Getsy’s book demonstrates that we are still processing the profound event that was 1960s abstraction, still reconciling ourselves to its categorical refusals, semiotic disruptions, and relational revisions.”—Art Journal “Getsy produces a daring and fascinating project” —Jenni Sorkin, Oxford Art Journal“This meticulously researched book, combining expert archival research, close analysis of less-researched artworks by canonical figures of American abstract sculpture in the 1960s, and a deliberate interdisciplinary analysis, catapults art-historical research [and] engages the rapidly growing scholarship on transgender studies into the twenty-first century.”—Natasha Adamou, Sculpture Journal“The contribution made by this book to both art history and to gender studies is incontrovertible.”—Gender ResearchRecommended by Elmgreen & Dragset as their pick for 2021 “The Best Art Books to Dive into This Summer—As Recommended by Artists” in the Art Newspaper“Abstract Bodies makes a remarkable intervention into art history, combining a rigorous attention to the history of sculpture with surprising and elaborate readings of the art of the 1960s. As a result of his disciplined attention to abstract forms rather than figural representations of the body, David Getsy has opened a new chapter in art history. This is a brilliant and original book and will change the way we think about the dynamics between art, embodiment, plasticity, and queer form.”—Jack Halberstam, University of Southern California“David Getsy’s Abstract Bodies represents a welcome convergence of the long established academic discipline of art history with the more recent interdisciplinary field of transgender studies. This book is not a history of transgender artists or transgender themes in art, but rather a path-breaking application of transgender studies as a heuristic lens. His deft coupling of subject matter and critical framework enables readers to grasp the profound extent to which the plasticity of shape and transformation of substance in reference to human being is a central feature of recent Western history.”—Susan Stryker, University of Arizona“Abstract Bodies more than bridges art history and gender studies—David Getsy demonstrates that these fields need each other. This book shows us how to see gender’s capacities in texture, light and form—loosened from the discourse of sex, gender becomes a material possibility. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how to write about sculpture, or who wants to know how queer art history can be.”—Jennifer Doyle, University of California at Riverside“The insights that emerge from David Getsy’s analyses of sculpture, reception, anecdote, historiography, and of the particular languages – and voices – of artists, are provocative and profound. In the process of locating transformational energies in these artists’ works, Getsy not only connects us more intimately to each artist but also redirects the field of postwar abstract sculpture.”—Michael Brenson, Bard College

Park Books CARTHA Building Identity
Book SynopsisIn their new book, the international CARTHA network engages with the question of forming identity in society and the role that architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan's approach from psychoanalysis, CARTHA's members break down the identity-formation process into four sub-steps, which they explore in interviews: Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and theory of architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about Assimilation; Frederike Lausch, researcher at TU Darmstadt's Department of Architecture, about Appropriation; Rob Krier, Berlin and Liguria-based architect and sculptor, about Denial, and Jonathan Sergison, London-based architect, about Reconciliation. These conversations make up the cornerstones for a new, experimental design methodology, which has been tested in practice by architecture firms Bruther (Bordeaux), Bureau Spectacular (Los Angeles), Conen Sigl (Zurich), Made In (Geneva / Zurich), Monadnock (Rotterdam), Studio Muoto (Paris), and Sam Jacob Studio (London). CARTHA Building Identities features a variety of buildings houses, cottages, apartments designed in the context of these insights.The book offers a didactic manual for contemporary architectural design. The concept of identity that CARTHA proposes invites readers to adopt a critical attitude towards any found environment. The objective is a deeper understanding of how architects actually create identity through their designs.

The virtuoso mastery of structural means enables them to translate technical requirements into expressive, beautiful designs.This monograph offers a comprehensive survey of Esch Sintzel Architekten's entire body of work, exploring its full range and drilling down to constructive details, and placing it in a wider context.

Transcript Verlag Interdisciplinary Exhibitions and the Production
Book SynopsisHow can exhibitions not only stage existing knowledge, but also raise questions that might eventually lead to new research? This question has become ever more relevant due to the museum sector's growing interest in the development of thematic exhibitions that combine narratives and objects from art, science, cultural history, and everyday life. Using theories from interdisciplinarity studies, Henriette Pleiger identifies different ways of producing knowledge during the exhibition-making process, as well as the mechanisms that are necessary for an exhibition to be considered interdisciplinary. The development of such exhibitions can be understood as collaborative research processes.

Book Synopsis120 vivid exquisite corpse drawings made by the outrageous artist, performer, and designer Leigh Bowery with friends and collaborators during the 1980s and 1990s.In the wild years of the 1980s and early 1990s, when central London was a clubbers? paradise, a circle of young, queer friends, including the celebrated Australian designer, performer, musician, and provocateur Leigh Bowery and his Minty bandmates would get together at Richard Torry''s Soho flat before hitting the town.To pass the time, the troupe would sometimes make ?exquisite corpses,? employing a technique popular with the Surrealists to create collaboratively-drawn compound images of often outrageous characters.The 120 images collected here, assembled from the Richard Torry archive, showcase the acerbic wit, lysergic absurdity, and sometimes cruel gaze of the young friends, while presenting an exaggerated snapshot of the era?s styles, fashions, and obsessions.
