Summary:
Placing pressure on what it means to "do" feminist philosophy, "Feminist making, doing, and sensing" offers an innovative and critical rethinking of feminist philosophical practice and feminist philosophy as a disciplinary field of thought. The collection raises questions about how disciplines are made, how philosophy gets done, and the collaborative nature of thinking. Seeking to decenter disciplinary norms about content, authority, and belonging, this collection disrupts the status quo of feminist philosophy through its insistence on formal experimentation and creative methods as well as its refusal to take philosophy and its disciplinary attachments at face value. The essays argue for ways of thinking, making, and doing philosophy that are participatory, relational, somatic, affective, sonorous, and sensorial, often looking to experimental and art-based practices such as film, music, poetry, comedy, crocheting, and more.

Summary:
Since 1988, Frankfurt-based artist Karsten Bott has been collecting everyday objects--often discarded--and cataloguing them. Currently, his archive contains an unbelievable 500,000 objects. Bott is interested in making an archaeological inventory of things people need, noting how they use them and how these objects are related to one another. For One of Each, which is designed like a small dictionary or encyclopedia, he photographed more than 2,000 objects in his collection, which were carefully measured and alphabetically organized according to subjects such as "Bedroom", "Jewelry", "Sex" and "War". Within the "Film" category, for example, one might find a photograph of an Oscar award reproduction, as well as an old popcorn bucket. The photographs of the objects are taken in an unbiased, straightforward manner on a grey background, with dimensions and labels listed below.

Summary:
Americans, on average, spend between six and ten seconds with individual artworks in museums or galleries—hardly time enough. But how, in our culture of distraction, might we extend attention? Slow Art models sustained ways of looking, through encounters with various media both present and past—including photography, painting, sculpture, “living pictures,” film, video, digital and performance art—even light and space. Works by Diderot, Emma Hamilton, Oscar Wilde, Jeff Wall, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Andy Warhol, and Richard Serra, among others, shape a new and distinct aesthetic field. But rather than a collection of objects, slow art is participatory—it directly engages beholders to bring artworks to life. Against current orthodoxy, Arden Reed argues that, for contemporary viewers, the contemplation of slow art is akin to religious practices during the ages of faith.

Summary:
Like the onetime industrial facilities that have become Dia : Beacon, Mass MoCA and the Tate Modern, among other factory conversions, Berlin's Rummelsberg electric plant is characterized by wide expanses of brick, glass and, most importantly, space. Today, the huge power station with its extraordinary, light-filled hall can be rented for events and film production, but its future is not secure. Power and Energies reutilization plans, which were conceived for a contest sponsored by Vattenfall Europe AG, come from architects, planners and conservationists alike, and are full of creative architectural solutions and innovative ideas. This volume combines essays on the history of the building with the entire range of plans submitted, including detailed documentation of prizewinning designs. Its models and ideas will entrance anyone considering the conversion of large historical buildings or examining the phenomenon.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
For reasons both obvious and mysterious, even as our cultural and social constructions of domesticity change, the house remains a fundamental site for advancing modern architectural theory and practice: because it accommodates a full diurnal and annual cycle of life, and because it intricately stages ritual and routine, this most private of programs has become a medium of publicity and polemic. This volume both participates in and critiques this contemporary tradition. The reader’s attention in this examination is directed not only to Levenbetts’ houses, but to all houses, and all parts of houses—pieces of home and rhetorics of domesticity that show up in our collective memory: from a stolen moment on a staircase in a John Cassavetes film, to the sturdy knife-edged contractor modernism of suburban late to mid-twentieth-century America.

Summary:
The etchings of the Italian printmaker, architect, and antiquarian Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–78) have long mesmerized viewers. But, as Victor Plahte Tschudi shows, artists and writers of the modern era found in these works—Piranesi's visions of contradictory space, endless vistas, and self-perpetuating architecture—a formulation of the modern. In this volume, Tschudi explores the complex appropriation and continual rediscoveries of Piranesi by modern literature, photography, art, film, and architecture. Tracing the ways that the modern age constructed itself and its origin through Piranesi across genres, he shows, for example, how Piranesi's work formulates the ideas of “contrast” in photography, “abstraction” in painting and “montage” in cinema. Tschudi's exploration of Piranesi's influence on modern architectural discourse includes interviews with such distinguished architects as Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Steven Holl, and Rem Koolhaas.

Summary:
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Marseille was a booming Mediterranean port. Positioned at the very edge of France, the city functioned as a critical fulcrum between the metropolitan center and its overseas empire. A notoriously dangerous and cosmopolitan city, Marseille became the focus of the extraordinary energies of some of the most remarkable architects and theorists of urban modernity. Drawing together architects, photographers, and cultural theorists, including Le Corbusier, Sigfried Giedion, Walter Benjamin, and László Moholy-Nagy, Mediterranean Crossroads examines how mythic ideas about Marseille helped to shape its urban landscape. Tracing successive planning proposals in tandem with shifting representations of the city in photographs, film, guidebooks, and postcards, Sheila Crane reconstructs the history and politics of architecture in Marseille from the 1920s through the years of rebuilding after World War II.

Summary:
London-based photography duo Coppi Barbieri- established by Lucilla Barbieri and Fabrizio Coppi in 1991- have crafted meticulous still life photographs for such clients as Apple, Cartier, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, Van Cleef & Arpels. This book focuses on the duo’s early noncommercial work. Their first experiments involved images of flowers immersed in water, common household objects such as plastic bottles and glassware, and backlit dresses animated by fans. Their inspiration was the work of historical photographers such as André Kertész, Baron Adolph de Meyer and Josef Sudek, and the painter Giorgio Morandi- but they also injected the sensibility of fashion photographers working at that time, such as Paolo Roversi and Javier Vallhonrat. Their slow process involved using 5x7 film, which lends the pictures in this book a unique otherworldliness.
