Summary:
The wide variety of modern lighting concepts in one publication. With the release of the reference book "Light Perspectives - between culture and technology" at the end of October, ERCO will be making an inspirational contribution towards communication between designers and engineers, building owners and planners, professionals and laymen. What are the intrinsic qualities of light? How are the techniques and design approaches implemented in architecture? And, how are abstract concepts conveyed with the help of lighting qualities? These are all questions that the book answers. The 21 chapters - divided into the three sections Light, Space and Perspectives - cover the actual qualities of light, the relationship between light and space and, finally, the intrinsic dimension of light as it relates to culture.

Summary:
This book accompanies the exhibition on Horino Masao at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. A primary figure in Japan’s ‘New Photography’ movement, he is considered “essential to any consideration of the formation of modern photography in Japan.” Active prior to World War II, Horino Masao addressed a variety of subjects, from theatre photographs and portraits to photomontage experiments, and later, the social realities of Japan as a photojournalist. With an emphasis on his work during the 1930s, the book presents an extensive view of the history of Japanese photography through the prodigious and exhaustive lens of one man.

Summary:
Publication documenting two recent bodies of work by New York-based artist Gareth Long. Untitled (Stories) is a set of lenticular prints accompanied by the book series that pivots around a disjunction between the oeuvre of J.D. Salinger and the design of his books: the original Little, Brown & Co. book cover designs are a starting point for nine large-scale prints. An unfinished Gustave Flaubert novel is the central point around which the other works revolve. Bouvard and Pécuchet's Invented Desk for Copying is a suite of two-sided desk-sculptures that form the core of a related suite of projects. At the heart of both works lies a fascination with books as uniquely flexible vehicles of meaning, as complex compendia to be read, re-read and mis-read.

It focuses on the 'status' of writing in contemporary art practice. Writing as 'the core material' of a number of visual artists but equally as a mode that exists parallel to or in service of the visual. This issue is part of a project curated by the participants of de Appel Curatorial Programme 07/08, who have hijacked the journal to encapsulate their intentions (shared, stolen or otherwise discovered). The journal explores the many intersections between circulation and storytelling.
