Summary:
Over the years Marianne Mueller has accumulated an archive of photographs taken both at home and on extended journeys. Completely nonhierarchical, the pictures capture whatever strikes the artist’s fancy. In STAIRS ETC, her archive has supplied the copious images of the designed and built world around us. Laid out in double-page blocks and organized by the simplest of categories (from chairs and tables to fountains and pools), the photographs emulate a pseudo-encyclopedic overview of ordinary objects captured with eloquent nonchalance and a discriminating eye for what we tend to write off as irrelevant and insignificant. Mueller invites us on a journey as absurdly comical as it is poetic, where we find ourselves meandering through the miracles and madness of a universe that is chock-full of things.

Summary:
Among the many recurring interests that connect the rich and open-ended oeuvre of Luigi Ghirri, a fascination with travel resonates through his photographs, publications, and writings. This book by curator James Lingwood charts a course through Ghirri’s photography between 1970 and 1991, exploring the manifold ways in which journeys – viaggi – appear: in iconic landscapes in the Dolomites and the lakes of northern Italy; in the mirror-worlds of seaside resorts along the Adriatic and Mediterranean; among museums, archaeological sites, and theme parks; inside atlases and on postcards; and along his own bookshelves, with their evocative titles and mementoes. This vividly curated book maps a route through Ghirri’s work that takes in familiar landmarks and surprising detours, interleaving many of his best loved photographs with unseen discoveries from the Ghirri archive.

Summary:
''Dialect'' covers three years of state violence for nine young Moroccan migrants exiled in Kafka-esque limbo in Seville, southern Spain. When underage migrants enter the country illegally and cannot be verified as adults, their custody remains in the hands of the state – subjecting them to a lengthy process of up to three years to gain legal status. In this state of suspension and liminality, Beltrán engages with the body as a metaphor: using a carefully articulated language between photography, performance and collaboration, the weight of dead time is registered upon the shoulders of these young men, entering into dialogue with their memories, journeys, and the humiliating mundanity of waiting and migration. Alongside video works and choreographed dance, ''Dialect'' breaks new documentary ground to shine a critical light on practices of bureaucratic oppression.

There’s no master without myth, so it is no surprise that the four most prominent modern architects, the most widely studied at schools, had novel-like lives: moments of genius, crises, stimulating friendships, great women by their sides… Luis Fernández-Galiano discusses all this in the new issue of AV Monographs, which examines the biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies(...)

Summary:
There’s no master without myth, so it is no surprise that the four most prominent modern architects, the most widely studied at schools, had novel-like lives: moments of genius, crises, stimulating friendships, great women by their sides… Luis Fernández-Galiano discusses all this in the new issue of AV Monographs, which examines the biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto. These life journeys originated in a series of lectures delivered in 2010 at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, which had a great turnout and have continued to draw considerable attention ever since, thanks to streaming. As with ‘Four Cities’ (AV 259), this success with audiences has encouraged to document the talks in print, maintaining the natural pace and graphic profuseness of slide presentations.

This eclectic mural depicts the ecosystem of Ruigoord—its history, sources of inspiration, and collaborations from around the world. Before he began, Frieling spoke with the artists, founders, and others involved in Ruigoord. The result tells the story of the artist village—then and now. We see the places, beings, journeys, happenings, erudite and magical figures, and the movements connected to Ruigoord such as Provo, the Kabouters, the Insect Sect, and activist actions. In short, everything that has contributed to the identity and survival of Ruigoord over the years. Kingdom Ruigoord is a tribute to Ruigoord and everyone involved: its unique culture, community, and passionate spirit.
