Summary:
This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Moholy-Nagy/In Motion introducing works spanning the full oeuvre of Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), an artist who brought new vision to the art of the 20th century. As a prominent member of the avant-garde art movements between the two World Wars, he developed an artistic ideal of creating works of light and motion. The pursuit of his career as a creative artist and art educator took Moholy-Nagy from his native Hungary to Vienna, then on to Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain and finally to the United States. Working in painting, photography, sculpture, film, graphic design, stage design and publishing, Moholy-Nagy’s career addressed many of the new issues confronting art in the 20th century, such as the relationship between art and industrial technology and the new media of information and communications. This exhibition marks Japan’s first full-scale retrospective of the art of Moholy-Nagy and spans the artist’s full career from its earliest years to its last in some 300 works and related materials and documents.

La série de dessins (Seven Months in Brazil) de Yann L. Popper propose des environnements impossibles. Un lemmings est coincé dans une forme carrée, une toile, un monochrome, une façade sans fin, et semble être aux prises avec une urbanisation galopante. Dans un module carré, ce personnage nous propose un regard critique sur les lignes qui l’oppressent. Arrivera-t-il à s'en évader? Yann L. Popper’s series of drawings (Seven Months in Brazil) features impossible environments. A lemmings is stuck within a square shape, a canvas, a monochrome, or an endless façade, and seems to be facing rampant urbanisation. From a square module, this character casts a critical eye on the lines that oppress him. Will he be able to escape from there?

Summary:
In 1936, the first and only issue of the magazine telehor (Greek for television) was released in four languages as a special edition on and by László Moholy-Nagy. This facsimile reprint of the magazine is accompanied by a commentary volume.The reprint makes the magazine accessible again in terms of its artistic and theoretical-historical dimensions and particular attention has been paid to the production process. Thus the volume appears spiral-bound, an ultramodern technique in the mid-1930s. The commentary contains an editorial statement that places the magazine, telehor, in the context of the art and media of the 1920s and 1930s and unlocks the position of the artistic avant-garde at the intersection of two epochs. It also contains new translations of the original texts: in Mandarin, Russian, Hungarian and Spanish.

Summary:
In Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s, Wallace Berman, founder of the influential artist journal Semina, and Robert Heinecken, who established UCLA's photography department, were kindred spirits. Both reveled in appropriating and juxtaposing images and text, using as a point of departure the art of the historical avant-garde, updating its subjects, techniques, and irreverent stance for contemporary use. This catalog in the form of a treasure box brings Berman and Heinecken together for the first time. It is packed with images, reproductions, ephemera, a DVD and essays that capture the random spirit of innovation that permeated this important era in Southern California. These two artists bridged modernist and emerging post-modernist trends, ushering in the use of photography as a key element of the contemporary avant-garde art.

Summary:
Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from London whose sculptures take the form of "little people" sculpted from concrete and placed in "real" situations. Cordal manages to capture much emotion in his vignettes, in spite of the little people's lack of detail or color. He is sympathetic toward his little people and we empathize with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals. His sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings, on top of bus shelters - and in many other unusual and unlikely places.
