Summary:
This two-volume set collects two artist’s books by French artist Yto Barrada , both of which are proposed as mock guides. A Guide to Trees for Governors and Gardeners is a satirical guide for urban landscapers on how to prepare cities for the arrival of dignitaries. Accordingly, advice is offered on painting and cleaning; fruits, flowers and weeds; flags and music; traffic islands and palm trees. At first seemingly reasonable, these directives gradually begin to suggest something amiss behind the patriotic Potemkin-esque facades. A Guide to Fossils for Forgers and Foreigners presents research on Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. The arid terrain between the mountains and the desert is home to a cottage industry of excavating, preparing, forging and selling fossils. Barrada’s research is documented in guidebook format.

Summary:
"New Deal Utopias" explores one of the most ambitious but overlooked programs of the New Deal, the Greenbelt Towns, designed and built by the United States government to be model cities in the 1930s. The program was critiqued as "communistic" by conservative members of Congress, industrial and corporate leaders, and newspapers, yet they still managed to make an impression on urbanist ideas in America. Jason Reblando's contemporary photographs of Greenbelt, Maryland; Greenhills, Ohio; and Greendale, Wisconsin invite viewers to reflect upon planned communities and the human urge to create an ideal society.

Summary:
Finding Bones introduces a newly rediscovered body of work by Grey Crawford. It's an anthology of photographs that embody the creative spirit that was prevalent throughout the Los Angeles art scene at the time. Southern California in the early 1970s was an island of its own creation: a mixture of surf, sea, and concrete highways winding around an ever-changing cultural climate, it challenged assumptions of the definition of art. Crawford chooses his backgrounds with a sense of austerity as a means for introducing these hard-edged shapes and using them as the building blocks for his own language.

“Gunnar Smoliansky’s (b. 1933, Swedish) studies of trees are social journalism in photographic form, although not from the human world in spite of their occasional traces of humanity. No, people appear to have left the scene. Smoliansky’s depictions of trees are a forestry ranger’s nightmare and at the same time far too vulnerable to please the zealous conservationist. These photographs are about a type of vegetation that may once have been both magnificent and dignified – what remains of growth is both frustrated and defiant.

Summary:
This book features highlights from four decades of James Welling’s oeuvre. Emerging out of the "Picture Generation" - a group of artists focused on a critique of photographic media - James Welling has gone on to experiment successfully in nearly every photographic genre. This monograph, designed by Joseph Logan in close collaboration with the artist, presents a selection of works from the early 1970s to today, demonstrating the artist’s conceptual foundations. Welling’s series are dialogues between image and matter, process and result, representation and abstraction. The illustrations are accompanied by an interview with the artist and critical essays that discuss Welling’s work in connection with American painting, post-modernism, and authorship, and the artist’s emotional photographic language.
