Summary:
In this uniquely skewed look at the purpose and function of “a book,” Keri Smith offers an illustrated guide that asks readers to creatively examine all the different ways "This Is Not a Book" can be used. Readers will discover that the book can be: A secret message—tear out a page, write a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place. A recording device—have everyone you contact today write their name in the book. An instrument—create as many sounds as you can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover. This Is Not a Book will engage readers by having them define everything a book can be by asking, “If it’s not a book, what is it then?”—with a kaleidoscope of possible answers.

Summary:
For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake - and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts - poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, colouring outside the lines, and more - in order to experience the true creative process. With Keri Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

This book presents a new chapter in a series of installations that different visual artists and architects from around the world created in Mies van der Rohe's emblematic building. The Chinese artist Ai Weiwei filled the pavilion's pools with two typical items that are part of our daily lives, but are completely at odds with an architectural construction: the water in the pools, one exterior and the other interior is replaced, respectively, with milk and coffee.

Summary:
Book with recent photographic work by Uta Eisenreich, focussing on the shortcomings of our cognitive tool-kit. A NOT B walks us along the fine line between common sense and uncommon nonsense in a realm reminiscent of pre-school books, assessment tests and optical illusions. Uta Eisenreich is fascinated by the attempt to establish order within an inconsistent reality that constantly exceeds the borders of comprehension. She photographs ever-changing combinations of elementary objects arranged by basic methods of classification. From one image to the next, the meaning of things keeps transforming. A web of clues and associations is spun, triggering the viewer to discern underlying patterns and make sense of the illusory correlations of a-logical connections. Design by Julia Born.

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.

Jacques Villeglé prélève sur les murs parisiens, depuis la fin des années 1940, les affiches lacérées par des mains anonymes, et les expose après les avoir simplement marouflées sur toile. Revendiquant la position du flâneur, il laisse émerger du chaos urbain les beautés cachées dans les épaisseurs de papier déchiré, à travers un corpus foisonnant et d'une étonnante(...)

Summary:
Jacques Villeglé prélève sur les murs parisiens, depuis la fin des années 1940, les affiches lacérées par des mains anonymes, et les expose après les avoir simplement marouflées sur toile. Revendiquant la position du flâneur, il laisse émerger du chaos urbain les beautés cachées dans les épaisseurs de papier déchiré, à travers un corpus foisonnant et d'une étonnante richesse formelle, depuis l'éclatement typographique et les grandes compositions abstraites colorées des débuts jusqu'aux récentes juxtapositions rythmiques issues d'affiches de concerts. Son Alphabet socio-politique, réalisé à partir d'un vocabulaire de lettres détournées telles qu'on peut les trouver dans les graffitis, procède de la même entreprise d'appropriation. L'œuvre de Villeglé est un formidable sismographe de nos "réalités collectives" telles qu'elles sont distillées par l'espace urbain dont l'histoire nous est restituée à travers celle, singulière, de ses murs. Elle révèle combien notre regard est conditionné par cet environnement visuel quotidien, et réactive notre mémoire de façon critique, mais aussi ludique.
