FILE Magazine occupies a very unique position: between 1972 and 1989, the celebrated Canadian artists' collective General Idea (active 1969 1994) published 26 issues of this sophisticated magazine, which had a distribution extending far beyond its Toronto underground origins. The name and logo adapted those of the famous LIFE—whose heyday was in the 1950s and early 1960s demonstrating an already very Pop strategy of appropriation. As AA Bronson, one of the members of the collective has since described it, the magazine's purpose was the search for "an alternative to the Alternative Press," a subversive concept of infiltration within mainstream media and culture. Thus the manifestos of the early issues, lists of addresses, and letters from friends, were rapidly replaced by General Idea's scripts and projects as well as cultural issues (as in the famous 'Glamour' or 'Punk' issues), while never loosing a cutting-edge attention to emerging practices on the art scene and experimental layouts.

Between Dog and Wolf depicts--beyond their adventures and misadventures on wheels--their joy in living, in making out and hanging out. Haymes, who was born in England in 1969, observes his young subjects with a mix of friendly and almost fatherly care, documenting a delicate stage of life with equal attention to its dark moments and its blissful ones, in a raw and distinctive style that looks exceptionally closely. The artist has lived in New York since 2000, where he has worked with many widely respected magazines including i-D, Dazed & Confused, The Face, Vogue, TeenVogue, Another Magazine, Arena, Capricious and The Journal.

Ad Rock is a concise portrait of Adam Horovitz from the Beastie Boys, filled with years of photographs of the musician at work, with his friends and at home.

Price:

Summary:
Two materials co-exist at the heart of Dani Jakobs work: salt and silk. The artist paints and devises installations. The vibrantly coloured, abstractly geometric silk paintings that look like an "abstract model of the cranium" contrast with the amorphous salt pictures created using the chemical process of salt crystalisation and that are reminiscent of aerial photographs of distand lands and coastlines. She interlinks both of these opposites in spatially expansive floor paintings. Her "geometrical eye" places a landscape into a space, is derived from a lake of salt without perspective, an anti-space, a non-place, interlinks then, "draws lines, noting trajectories of movement", rhythmatises them arriving at a symmetry and creates a utopian space. "A land" that defies unequivocal decipherment. The artist book documents Dani Jakobs most recent works from 2005 to 2007 in 30 images with large illustrations and detailed views. These compositions enter into a conversation with a lyrical text by Klaus Theweleit, which was especially written for this book and runs all the way through it.

Summary:
The Swiss collaborators Fischli & Weiss have said of this early series of color and black-and-white photographs, "Balance is most beautiful just shortly before it collapses." Indeed their tense arrangements of household miscellany often look on the verge of falling, or are caught in the process. The only texts included with them are associative titles, including Natural Grace, (a spatula on a plate on a wine bottle on an apple on a cup), The Fart (chairs on Coke bottles and aerosol cans), and Invisible Power, (showing one end of a paper construction held aloft by the breeze from a small fan). Many of the constructions appear under several titles, in several styles: Completion, when shot in grainy, starkly lit black-and-white, becomes Honor, Courage, Confidence, and in close-up, Can I , May I, Do Anything? On the page, these often elaborate and expansive objects acquire an incidental quality that makes them both more real and more transient. Ultimately, the only evidence of their existence is these images. While a small selection of these works appeared in the artist's book Quiet Afternoon, most have never before been published in any form.
