Summary:
As with Batia Suter's previous projects, ''Cloud Service'' is primarily interested in the visual dialogue that emerges with the simple act of placing images in new relations to one another. Drawing from her vast personal library of natural history reference books, encyclopaedias, and other flea market finds, Suter assembles a mix of 'non-art' images, adapted and reoriented in intuitive and often profound ways. The set of appropriated images comprising this book is a monographic index of clouds and cloud-suggestive forms. Placed in the right sequence, these images resonate in new and complex ways, manipulate each other, and take on new depths of meaning with a sort of synaptic leap.

Summary:
Vo Trong Nghia heads a leading architecture firm in Vietnam. Following his training in Japan, the architect returned to his home country with the humble ambition of preserving its essential landscapes in the face of booming urban development and prosperity. Peaceful forms in dialogue with the environment, pavilions of exact geometry and vernacular inspiration, and light structures where bamboo replaces steel are typical of his work. VTN Architects explores various paths in terms of form and technique, yet with the common pursuit of sustainability and an active social agenda, wherein vegetation also takes a central role. Fifteen works and three prototypes are featured in this volume.

Summary:
‘GRAM’ is a multiple research tool that combines graphic investigations with architectural explorations, where the publication is just a pretence and only the process matters. Each step is considered a potential research topic. The six architectural offices featured here – Fala Atelier, Norell/Rodhe, Razze Dazzle, Kosmos, Bast, and Maio – are all less than ten years old and consist of less than ten people. The profiles are based on a framework of dialogue that leads to theoretical or practical outcomes, in turn opening up the thought processes behind the production of space. ‘GRAM’ is a re-transcription of these conversations with additional annotations and translations.

Summary:
'Trigger' is a new platform launched by Fotomuseum Antwerpen for research, reflection, and dialogue on all things photographic. This first publication on 'Impact' is made in close collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK), The Hague, and guest editor Donald Weber. It aims to cast impact as a re-enactment or assertion of radical intimacy, initiate a different gaze on the world, and show that impact can also exist within an ecology or geography of photography. Through 20 contributions by Ariella Azoulay, Lewis Bush, Taco Hidde Bakker, Andrew Jackson and Savannah Dodd, Shahidul Alam, Andrea Stultiens, and more, we learn how impact is social, participative, conflictual.

Every day, throughout that tumultuous spring of 2020, Dutch artist Erik Kessels and French artist Thomas Sauvin sent one another idiosyncratic, uncaptioned photographs, catalyzing an organic, free-associative exchange of some 120 archival images.

Summary:
Every day, throughout that tumultuous spring of 2020, Dutch artist Erik Kessels and French artist Thomas Sauvin sent one another idiosyncratic, uncaptioned photographs, catalyzing an organic, free-associative exchange of some 120 archival images. Author Kingston Trinder then composed an equally free-associative, altogether-whimsical narrative with which to further entwine the duo’s eclectic photographs. These two archives of vernacular photography, one from the East, the other from the West, achieve a dialogue through the recurrence of photographic practices, aesthetics and subjects.'Talk Soon', a tearaway postcard book with a spiral binding, allows readers to endlessly juxtapose the delightful photographs selected by the two quarantined artists.

Summary:
MORQ is an Italian office established in 2001 by Matteo Monteduro, Emiliano Roia, and Andrea Quagliola. Their work ranges from small-scale projects to large landscape and urban plans, with meaningful spaces integrated within simple and thoughtful buildings, in dialogue with existing conditions. As such, MORQ sees constraints as a starting point for its designs, not impediments to creativity. Featured in this issue are fifteen small-scale works, both built and unbuilt, that demonstrate the studio’s talent for envisioning intimate yet open spaces that engage with shades of natural light, changing throughout the day and activated by the emotive and sensorial qualities of the materials.

Summary:
The third and final instalment in the “Is This Rural?” series focuses on the intermediate territory: the most indeterminate in terms of use, the setting where the most complex situations occur, and where the mix of uses is part of its identity. An analysis of this diffuse and increasingly expanded portion of the environment originates a series of explorations towards possible futures in which architecture is obliged to enter into dialogue with the natural sciences. Besides essays by architect and urbanist Javier Mozas and Wroclaw-based PROLOG +1, it also features works by Colectivo C733, B-Architecten, Atelier Fanelsa, KOSMOS Architects, Rural Office for Architecture, and others.

On its surface, the work of Regina Gimenez involves an aesthetic exploration of geometry and colour. Yet it is forged from the observation of what can be described as “subaltern” teaching forms, reflecting an interest in what she calls “popular knowledge”: teaching models based not so much on the established canons but on fictitious registers and domestic resources.

Summary:
On its surface, the work of Regina Gimenez involves an aesthetic exploration of geometry and colour. Yet it is forged from the observation of what can be described as “subaltern” teaching forms, reflecting an interest in what she calls “popular knowledge”: teaching models based not so much on the established canons but on fictitious registers and domestic resources. This exhibition catalogue delves into the dialogue created between Gimenez and a specific work by Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979), ‘Costume de Sport’, a watercolour which she produced in 1925. As this stimulative meeting shows, Delaunay’s work is and always has been a reference for that of Gimenez.

Summary:
With this publication, visual artist Michiel Kluiters investigates how space (or spatiality) works in photography and how it can become an instrument for narration. A series of photographed spaces open up a dialogue and hint at intimate stories. Walls appear roughly textured, seeming to address the tactile rather than visual sense. The pictured spaces look like unfinished buildings or abandoned ruins, either still under construction or already in decline. Kluiters instils these images with a temporal sense, leaving an unanswered promise of eventual fulfilment or a lingering memory of an irrevocable epoch. We must wonder, is this a possible dystopian future or the remnants of a utopian past?
