Summary:
The murals, computer images, paper works, drawings and objects of Berlin-based Michael Hakimi are combined in site-specific installations to form intricate networks of meaning. Hakimi expands the function of his formally reduced, two-dimensional images by means of his interventions, emphasizing the semantic divide between object and sign. The artist examines the narrative potential of symbols and basic geometric shapes through the collagelike interaction of his works with readymades of the simplest materials. His installation "Large Oven" (2004), for example, realized for the Kunstverein Hamburg, and the spatial project "Roof" (2007), produced for the Kunsthalle Basel, both of which are comprehensively documented for the first time in the present publication, create walk-in scenarios reflecting social, political and urban realities. Beyond these works, this retrospective monograph presents all of Hakimi's work since 2002.

Follies exist only by grace of their viewers. They are not there to live or work in, but only to provoke a reaction. Through their bizarre styles, forms and stories, they act as masonry mirrors of the soul; without a response from the passer-by, they do not exist. International follyDOCK Contest The changing situation of Heijplaat prompted the visual artist Lowieke Duran to announce The International follyDOCK Contest. The brief: design a folly. A folly may be described as an architectural scherzo, a visually provocative, poetical structure without a specific function.

Price:

Summary:
Published twice a year, the Netherlands Architecture Institute's house journal "Architecture Bulletin" presents essays (in word and image) on the built environment of today, yesterday and tomorrow-subjective arguments complemented by personal reflection, but always emphasizing the essay as an appropriate form for the consideration of architecture. These essays originate from design disciplines such as architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture, or from architecture historians, philosophers, artists and sociologists. "Architecture Bulletin" is about the ways that we arrive at judgments about architecture, whether we encounter them through the media or streamlined in a scale model. It is also about the ways in which architecture can imbue our identities and behaviors with meaning, in metropolises like Hong Kong, postcolonial nations like Indonesia or at home, wherever that may be. These essays are about every aspect of architecture's impact in our world today.

Summary:
Best known for her innovative choreographies that revolutionized modern dance, Trisha Brown has for many years made drawings and other works beyond the stage that integrate the performing and visual arts. Drawing has long featured prominently in her practice, shifting from a tool for schematic composition into a fully realized component of her broader investigation into the limits of her own body. Whether she is working within the frame of a sheet of paper, on the wall, or on the stage, Brown delights in the play between structure and improvisation, repetition and invention, choice and chance. This book centers on a broad survey of Brown's visual arts practice going back more than three decades. The catalogue features more than 40 drawings and includes essays by exhibition curator Peter Eleey and Walker performing arts senior curator Philip Bither as well as a specially commissioned survey of Brown's drawing vocabulary contributed by the artist.
