Issue 4 of Livraison furthers the previous three issues’ merger of magazine accessibility with the appeal and high production values of the book. Each issue poses a question intended to emphasise the personal vision and experiences of artists, unfettered by populist and media concerns. Issue 4 asks some 100 artists to reveal their favourite place, and how it has shaped their life and work. Printed on Arctic paper, and a tactile treat, the emphasis is on photography; each photograph titled with a map reference to create an allusive combination of location, memory and evocative image.

There’s no better place to view the stylistic rollercoaster of graphic design than the covers of design magazines – it’s a fast-track education in the history of design and typography. As Steven Heller notes: “As we head deeper into the age of hand-held devices, covers will become obsolete. So, it is for this reason that preserving and archiving these documents of international design, one cover at a time, is beyond useful.”

Summary:
A hodge-podge: fiction, photos, poetry, catalogs, historical facts, a cartoon—the narrowly objective hard by the expansively subjective. The plurality of genres pleased me. Any account of our territory bereft of, say, facts, poetry, projections, wild speculation, polemics, or sketchy memory, would seem to me to be fatally compromised. As the Office for Soft Architecture puts it in their Fourth Walk: “[We] painted the place in the polis of the sour heat and the pulse beneath our coats, the specific entry of our exhalations and words into the atmosphere…Our method was patience. We would slowly absorb each image until we were what we had deliberately chosen to become. Of course then we ourselves were the documents; we acquired a fragility. Hello my Delicate we would repeat when we met by chance in the streets under the rows of posters Hello my Delicate.” Matthew Stadler is a novelist and essayist whose writing about design has appeared in Nest magazine, Wiederhal, Frieze, The Guardian, and The Seattle Times. He is the editor of Clear Cut Press, a new publishing and distribution company based in Astoria, OR. editor@clearcutpress.com. Tae Won Yu is an artist working in Olympia, Washington. His previous projects include designs for Built To Spill, photographs for Nest magazine, and illlustrations for The Stranger.

Summary:
Inspired by Japanese photographers, as well as by William Klein’s seminal photography book on New York, Daido Moriyama moved from Osaka to Tokyo in the early sixties to become a photographer. He became the leading exponent of a fierce new photographic style that corresponded perfectly to the abrasive and intense climate of Tokyo during a period of great social upheaval. Between June 1972 and July 1973 Moriyama produced his own magazine publication, Kiroku, which was then referred to as Record. It became a diaristic journal of his work as it developed. Ten years ago, after a decades-long interval, he was able to resume publication of Record. Now this book collects work from all thirty published issues, edited into a single sequence, punctuated by Moriyama’s own text as it appeared in the magazine. Produced at the magazine’s original size, with an introduction by Mark Holborn, this volume features more than 200 works from throughout the magazine’s history. It used to be assumed that Moriyama’s peculiarly Japanese style was tied to his Tokyo roots. The evidence of the last ten years demonstrates that Moriyama, a restless world traveler, has been able to apply his unique vision to northern Europe; southern France; the cities of Florence, London, Barcelona, Taipei, Hong Kong, New York, and Los Angeles as well as the alleys of Osaka; the landscape of Hokkaido; and Afghanistan.
