Summary:
Printed in the colors of flesh and blood, VAS: an opera in Flatland - a hybrid image-text novel - demonstrates how differing ways of imagining the body generate diverse stories of history, gender, politics, and, ultimately, the literature of who we are. "VAS" combines a variety of voices, from journalism and libretto to poem and comic book. Often these voices meet in counterpoint, and the meaning of the narrative emerges from their juxtapositions, harmonies, or discords. Utilizing a wide and historical sweep of representations of the body - from pedigree charts to genetic sequences - "VAS" is, finally, the story of finding one's identity within the double helix of language and lineage. A novel by Steve Tomasula. Art & design by Stephen Farrell.

Summary:
Bunpei Yorifuji, auteur et illustrateur japonais, propose dans 'Le dessin et les mots' une réflexion personnelle et éclairée sur son métier de designer graphique. En interrogeant sa pratique, il revient sur des thématiques propres à ce domaine comme le rapport texte-image, l’influence des technologies sur le travail du designer, l’équilibre fragile entre esthétique et lisibilité, ou encore le rôle social du designer. Ces réflexions exprimées sous forme d’un carnet de notes personnelles sont nourries d’anecdotes et d’exemples illustrés. Pour compléter ces thématiques générales, une partie de l’ouvrage se concentre plus précisément sur le design de livres et la conception de couvertures. L’auteur y décrit avec beaucoup de pédagogie et d’humour différentes manières d’aborder ce travail si particulier d’alliance des mots et du dessin. La question que pose Bunpei Yorifuji pourrait être : qu’est-ce que le design graphique, et comment exercer la profession de graphiste aujourd’hui? L’auteur propose d’y répondre comme à son habitude, en texte et en image, mêlant dessins pédagogiques et recherche approfondie.

Tokyo Papers’ comprises a collection of 41 monoprints created by Dutch graphic designer and typographer Karel Martens between 2019 and 2020. In 2018, Martens received a package from artist-curator Pierre Leguillon that contained filled-in Japanese forms which he had found at a street market in Tokyo.
