“Swimming is a delicate balance between flying and sinking”. This quote by Burkhard Strassmann opens Julia Baier's book 'Water Matters'. Her pictures show what people do with water, and even more, how water affects people and the animals, too. Not on the whole, but in the immediate encounter.

When bathing, diving, splashing and spraying, in rain, snow and ice, in the city and in the countryside. And like the water itself, the photographer seems to get to wherever it flows and foams, drips, bubbles and reflects – in Budapest and Bremen, in Passau and Paris, Chicago and Sovata.

Wood has a long history as a building material, and for a while it seemed as if its final chapter ended during the 1950s. But things turned out differently. Today a true renaissance in timber construction is underway, and in many places it is finding expression in urban contexts. Wood buildings are appearing in ever-greater numbers, heights and typologies, from industrial buildings and museums to sports halls. Timber construction has long since liberated itself from the cliché of single-family countryside cottages. Thanks to new technologies and methods, wood has become a popular building material – conserving resources and offering a promising future.

Dieter Kienast (1945–1998) is a key Swiss figure in European landscape architecture. Amidst a striking change in societal understandings of nature, he sought a synthesis between design and ecology. He designed spaces to make the dissolving opposition between city and countryside legible and to enable aesthetic experience to help cope with increasingly complex everyday life. Kienast introduced new challenges into the discussion of those fields. Critique of urban planning, processes of participation and the significance of urban vegetation played just as much a role in these discussions as did art, literature, architecture, and the popularity of postmodernism.

''Walking'' maps the terrain of contemporary walking practices, foregrounding work by Black artists, Indigenous artists and artists of colour, working-class artists, LGBTQI+ artists, disabled artists and neurodiverse artists, as well as many more who are frequently denied the right to take their places in public space, not only in the street or the countryside, but also in art discourse. This anthology contends that, as a relational practice, walking inevitably touches upon questions of access, public space, land ownership, and use. Walking is, therefore, always a political act.

A life long concern with the constraints placed on the individual by a host of bureaucratic bodies, and not least the State, then found expression in these short essays on the problems encountered when walking in the countryside as the military, large landowners, factory farmers and more recently the water companies conjoin to try to exclude walkers from much of the land for their own nefarious purposes.

Best known for his evocative paintings of war-ravaged landscapes and his quasi-Surrealist visions of the English countryside, Nash was also a consummate photographer, who believed that the camera could reveal aspects of the world that the painter could not. Beginning in 1930, he regularly experimented with photography, working with a No. 1A pocket Kodak series 2 camera. Including a highly informative contextual essay by Simon Grant, this publication explores the experimental nature of Nash’s output and the intensity and power of his photographic vision.
