Summary:
Thirteen Postcards of illustrations from the book of narrative poetry We Will Be Fish. These images are compiled from turn-of-the-century mail-order catalogs, medical & zoological textbooks, and engineering diagrams. We Will Be Fish is a collection of narrative poems and illustrations, which can be viewed here, published by Pistol Press in 2008. It was listed for the 2008 ReLit Awards and 2009 Expozine Awards, and a top ten seller at Drawn & Quarterley in 2008. The story follows the life of Leopold Canary, who loses his wife to sleeping sickness and gets tangled up in a government scam covering the truth behind the disease. He goes on to try and find his place in other small towns, at times working as an appliance designer, a self-appointed dentist, and the guide of his own basement museum. With thirteen cards you can choose your favorites for the fridge and use the rest to tell your grandma about all the nifty things you've been up to as of late.

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.

Quite good houses

Summary:
Instead of an architecture that astounds or awes us, what would a "quite good" architecture look like? Quite Good Houses looks at a selection of more than 100 ordinary European homes, photographed by Oda Pälmke. Upon closer inspection, these residences seem quirkier than expected, or reveal little architectural eccentricities that lend them charm and homeliness.

Summary:
L'objet est riche, bien que de taille modeste. Sa forme, complexe à appréhender. Sommes-nous face à un dépliant touristique ? Une plaquette d'urbaniste ? Hervé Beurel produit ce livre, Lannion, avec son oeil de photographe. En le compulsant, il est facile de voir que la mise en page et l'économie de l'espace sont dictées par le motif. Dans ce dispositif, les façades et murs pignons du grand ensemble de la ville bretonne exaltent les compositions murales qui les recouvrent. Les qualités plastiques de ces quasi motifs de crochet apparaissent clairement par la mise en page de l'ouvrage; le feuilletage permet leur superposition. Les figures géométriques, symétriques, illustrent de manière transparente la vision moderniste et utopiste qui a défini le visage de nos villes nouvelles. Elles sont à la fois décoratives et informatives. Avec cette mise en perspective, nous sommes en plein dans ce que l'artiste appelle une « abstraction hiératique et puriste ».
