In this collection, the 17 colors and captions that appeared on the facade of Storefront—the project began as a series of Instagram posts of different hues of black, paired with witty and incisive comments on the multiplicity of Black culture—are expounded upon in poems, essays, and prose. With this anthology, Williams deliberately departs from traditional art criticism by gathering an intimate ensemble of her peers, friends, and collaborators, including Roxane Gay, Corinne Bailey Rae, and J Wortham, to comment on her work.

Summary:
This book takes architectural history out of the realm of dreary textbooks into a world of dynamic design, succinct page-length essays and instructive sidebars. These graphic devices heighten the reader's ability to retain an impressive amount of information, even through a cursory reading. A brief run-through of the book's captions and sidebars provides a mini crash course in the history of architecture. Incorporating more than 250 illustrations, The Annotated Arch draws on the very elements of architecture to craft a visual and textual approach to the subject that no ordinary textbook could match. From Stonehenge to the Eiffel Tower, from Flippo Brunelleschi to Frank Lloyd Wright, the language of architecture is clarified in five sections.

Summary:
This issue of Mousse explores the ways in which concerns surrounding exhibition display and elements derived from exhibition architecture have been appropriated by contemporary artworks and art practices, and how artistic modes and attitudes have played a significant role in shaping the lexicon of exhibition design. We asked a diverse pool of guest contributors — artists, curators, writers, art and architecture critics — to select illuminating cases of cross-pollination, and to compile extended captions for their chosen images. Many more images are interspersed in the issue, and captioned in groups every few pages. The ordering is not chronological, nor by any means hierarchic. Mousse 61 is a partial mood board for this analysis of a significant and special relationship.

"Ceci n'est pas un portrait" is a possible comprehensive depiction of the production of a new generation of Portuguese practices. The publication brings together a collection of more than 300 photographs by Francisco Ascensão illustrating about 70 projects made by young architecture offices in Portugal."Today, it is nearly impossible to distinguish architectural schools or styles. Regional schools are homogenized by a universal system of education and references, temporal periodization is absorbed by the ‘contemporary’. In the book there is no claim about a certain tendency. The absence of captions is programmatic. Rather than competing for clients and attention the images show a culture of generosity and mutual curiosity, a culture of openness and collectivity, immediacy and care, optimism and liveliness. A new beginning." - Philip Ursprung, 2024

W.G. Sebaldís books are sui generis hybrids of fiction, travelogue, autobiography and historical expose, in which a narrator (both Sebald and not Sebald) comments on the quick blossoming of natural wonders and the long deaths that come of human atrocities. All his narratives are punctuated with images--murky photographs, architectural plans, engravings, paintings, newspaper clippings--inserted into the prose without captions and often without obvious connection to the words that surround them. This important volume includes a rare 1993 interview called ì'But the written word is not a true document': A Conversation with W.G. Sebald about Photography and Literature,î in which Sebald talks exclusively about his use of photographs. It contains some of Sebald's most illuminating and poetic remarks about the topic yet.
