Summary:
The eighth issue of ‘Flaneur’ is devoted to the intersection of Kangding Road and Wanda Road in Taipei, a crossroads of layered colonial and urban histories. Taipei had always held a certain fascination for the editorial team, so when the opportunity arose to do a three-month artist residency at Taipei Art Village Treasure Hill, they seized the moment. In an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort, the axis is mapped out from different angles, revealing the layers, colonial implications, unvoiced stories, and contradictions of this place of displacements. With diverse contributions by more than fifteen local artists and writers, the magazine delves into the oldest part of the Taiwanese capital.

Summary:
This is the first book to examine the space and idea of the camp as a defining dimension of 21st-century life, and to consider why camps are now at the center of emerging questions of identity, residency, safety, and mobility. Hailey describes camps of diverse regions, purposes, and forms, and navigates the inherent paradoxes of zones that are neither temporary nor permanent: camps of choice, including summer camps, protest camps, drift camps (research stations on Arctic ice floes), and LTVA (Long-Term Visitor Area) camps; strategic camps regulated by power - boot camps, GTMO, immigrant camps, and others. Including more than 150 diagrams, sketches, building and site plans, photographs, video game screenshots, aerial and satellite images, and maps.

Summary:
Ouarzazate is a small city in the Moroccan desert famous for its movie studios and filming locations, an industry which began with David Lean and Lawrence of Arabia. Invited by the American Friends of the Marrakech Museum for Photography and the Visual Arts to propose a project for his artist residency there, Ruwedel photographed the movie sets in 2014 and 2016. Far from the American deserts where he has produced much of his work of the past thirty years, in Morocco Ruwedel continues his long term interest in contemporary ruins and the histories of both landscape and landscape photography. The photographs are eerily reminiscent of 19th century European photography of ancient Egypt and the Middle East.

Summary:
German photographer Olaf Holzapfel became fascinated, during a residency in Tokyo, with a "city within the city" - yellow bumps and grooves on the ground that form a guidance system for blind people walking with canes. Holzapfel contrasts photographs from the Nakano Sakaue rail station with other images of Tokyo for a photo-essay that art historian Andreas Spiegl characterizes as a "geography that ... describes perception as a territory - the view of the visible and the imaginary." This embossed hardcover blends rich color photographs, dominated by the (in)visible yellow lines that traverse Tokyo, with black-and-white images of what were originally garishly colored scenes, reinforcing the contrast between the seen and the unseen worlds of Tokyo.

Summary:
''Sensing Earth'' states that our environmental issues are in the first place a matter of culture and aesthetics. Technology and science are not enough to solve these problems. Our globe is facing an escalation of ecological problems, with no quick solutions in sight. We seem to be caught in a spiral of health issues, burnout, sensory overload, depression, and somatic deprivation. Artists faced with these crises are looking for ways to articulate the ongoing emergencies and explore possible ways out. However, the arts and culture are caught in a double bind. Artists and cultural initiatives need circulation to let ideas intersect and create meaningful connections. However, this globalized system also contributes to the planet’s ecological decline: by countless journeys from one biennale, international residency, touring exhibition, and networking event to the next. After the Covid-19 pandemic ‘business as usual’ seems to prevail.

Summary:
During a three-month residency in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, Japanese-born, London-based artist and filmmaker Naoko Takahashi confronted the issues of dislocation, mistranslation and gender politics in the Arab world. In this chapbook, written in the style of a factual report, she takes the reader on a breathless journey through the air-conditioned rooms and arid streets of the modern Arab metropolis, where she feels that every move she makes is misread and that her identity is repeatedly forced upon her and manipulated in ways she cannot control. Takahashi’s work highlights the ambiguities and confusions of identities as played out through language in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual society. Moving from confusion and isolation to anger in the course of the book, she casts her experiences as a modern allegory of alienation. Part of Book Works Chapbook Series.

In the late 18th century, surveyors divided the Midwestern United States into the Jefferson Grid: a system of neat, one-by-one-mile squares.

Summary:
In the late 18th century, surveyors divided the Midwestern United States into the Jefferson Grid: a system of neat, one-by-one-mile squares. But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together. Pilot and aerial photographer Gerco de Ruijter (born 1961) first spotted these small bends and T-junctions while completing a residency in Wichita; then, with the help of Google Earth, De Ruijter found thousands of these corrections. Presenting De Ruijter’s selection of over 250 photocollage grid corrections—snowed under or dried up, in cities and in deserts—and featuring an exceptional design by Irma Boom, this publication is a testimony to the human urge to design the landscape and the ways in which nature responds to that urge.

The first essay in this issue, by Angus Carlyle, reflects on the sequence of one hundred short runs that comprise "A downland index", which will be out in early summer. Other projects in progress include a new book in collaboration with geographers Hannah Neate and Ruth Craggs which will highlight the diversity of current responses to modernist architecture; a survey of the work of Michael Gibbs whose activities included poetry, performance, film, and publishing, and his immersion in what he called “a genuinely ‘underground’ culture… which owed nothing to the official art establishment”; and a book with the sound poet and performance artist Nathan Walker from his residency in June at the Armitt Museum in Cumbria.
