Summary:
The Swedish artist couple Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordstrom have been at the forefront of contemporary figurative painting since the late 1980s. Updating Vuillard for a post-Hitchcock age, Andersson paints beguilingly eerie untenanted interiors and landscapes. Nordstrom's detailed collages, paintings and drawings occupy a more folkloric realm peopled by historical and contemporary characters enacting sexual and social roles across broad narrative panoramas. This publication showcases Andersson and Nordstrom's work from the late 1980s to the present day in over 200 full-color plates. Alongside these, it also includes family snapshots and source materials, a poem by Stig Claesson and an interview with Nordstrom by Marcel Dzama.

Summary:
This issue presents a reflection on the spatial aspects of sound alongside an examination of the transformative and temporal dimensions of space. Immersed concentrates on one specific side of the spatial experience, namely sound, presenting new theoretical insights as well as relevant case studies. Sound is a spatial event, a material phenomenon and an auditive experience rolled into one. It can be described using the vectors of distance, direction and location. Within architecture, every built space can modify, position, reflect or reverberate the sounds that occur there. Sound embraces and transcends the spaces in which it occurs, opening up a consummate context for the listener: the acoustic source and its surroundings unite into a unique auditory experience.
