Summary:
Over the course of 13 controversial issues, influential designer Tibor Kalman (1949–1999) used his position as Editor in Chief of the international magazine Colors to challenge the status quo. Through a highly visual language, he creatively explored the world’s problems—racism, AIDS—and preoccupations—sports, shopping—to propel social change. That Colors was sponsored by the Benetton clothing company made the media experiment all the more intriguing. Following the success of Abrams’ (un)Fashion, also by Kalman, this visually powerful book features spreads from each issue and reproduces in full a facsimile of the word-free 13th and final Colors. Kalman’s previously unpublished notes and sketches, plus commentary by his partner, Maira, complete the collection.

Some of them belong to the contemporary art world; others are software creators, web designers, and video game directors or animators."

Summary:
As the Neen Manifesto has it, "Neen stands for Neenstars: a still-undefined generation of visual artists. Some of them belong to the contemporary art world; others are software creators, web designers, and video game directors or animators." In the spring of 2000, at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, Greek artist Miltos Manetas held a press conference to announce the birth of the term "Neen," which he had hired a California branding company to invent. Manetas, whose work includes oil paintings of computer hardware and videos of clips from games, sought to unify the burgeoning number of artists in and around digital media. If they've been understandably skittish about this unification, or if, as The New York Times bluntly observed, "it's unlikely that any sort of new coinage cooked up as a conceptual exercise will take hold," that just makes Manetas a more prominent example of Neen-ness himself.

Summary:
Ruedi Baur has chosen seven concepts to describe his conceptual approach: anticipate, question, inscribe, perplex, orient, differentiate, and translate. They serve as the structure of his book and the basis for seven dialogues between him and conversation partners from various disciplines. The practical implementation of these concepts is presented using projects from his Integral studio in Zurich und Paris. Previously unpublished new projects are integrated thematically into the evolution of Baur’s oeuvre. This book captures the conceptual and design constants of, and the fascination in, the work of Ruedi Baur. Five years after the success of Ruedi Baur, Intégral et associés, the author again takes stock and manifests the principles of his design work and attitude.
