Lee Ufan, a painter, sculptor, writer and philosopher, is known for his leading role in the Japanese avant-garde group Monoha. A new edition of a collection of writings first published in 2004, this volume features previously unpublished essays and spans from 1967-2007. Topics range from emptiness to the use of the brush to individual artists. Lee Ufan was born in Kyongsangnarndo, South Korea, in 1936. He is internationally regarded as the most significant Asian artist of his generation. After his first solo exhibition in Japan in 1967, he went on to participate in Documenta VI (1977) and in 1969 and 1973 represented Korea in the Sao Paulo Bienal.

Summary:
In 1973, American artist Barbara Kasten (born 1936) began experimenting with various photographic and printing techniques, resulting in a series of 24 diazotypes--a process used to produce architectural blueprints. For these staged mise-en-scène works, produced while Kasten lived in California, a female student was hired by the artist to pose in various photographs on a chair outdoors. In them, a kind of performance unfolds, in which the body becomes entangled in forms and shapes, the overlaid printed grid on the photographs emphasizing the human figure against a determined space. These images--with their clear Bauhaus influence, insistence on the two-dimensional plane and determined staging--initially appear to be totally unlike the abstract conceptual photography for which Kasten has become known, but are nonetheless a visible precursor to her later work.

Summary:
Lettres et autres textes est le troisième et dernier volume des textes posthumes de Gilles Deleuze, publié à l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de sa disparition. Il regroupe de nombreuses lettres adressées à ses contemporains (Michel Foucault, Pierre Klossowski, François Châtelet ou Clément Rosset). Particulièrement importantes à cet égard sont les lettres adressées à Félix Guattari, qui constituent un témoignage irremplaçable sur leur « travail à deux », de L’Anti-Œdipe jusqu’à Qu’est-ce que la philosophie ? On y trouve aussi des lettres plus tardives adressées à des étudiants qui l’interrogent sur son œuvre et lui permettent de l’éclairer d’un regard nouveau. Y figurent également un ensemble de textes introuvables ou inédits, comme certains essais de jeunesse, quelques dessins insolites, ou un long entretien de 1973 sur L’Anti-Œdipe avec Guattari.

Summary:
Antoine Tricot, en tant que journaliste, a expérimenté une autre façon d’aborder les quartiers populaires. Loin de la région parisienne, il a conduit pour cela une résidence d’écriture de deux ans dans le Nord. À Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, 23?000 habitants, dans la communauté urbaine de Dunkerque. Une ville ouvrière et « ouvriée » – taraudée, entre industrie et urbanisation. Il s’est immergé sur place avant la mise en chantier d’un grand projet de rénovation urbaine. Son terrain : d’un côté les cités Guynemer et Jean-Bart, soit deux barres HLM de 900 logements (construites en 1973) et de l’autre une cité-jardin cheminote (datant de 1920). Deux quartiers limitrophes, tout à fait différents, pourtant classés en quartiers prioritaires de la politique de la ville et portant ensemble la même mémoire ouvrière.

Summary:
Over the course of a career that spanned forty-five years, William Wilson Wurster (1895–1973) designed hundreds of residences up and down the West Coast. Like Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, with whom Wurster maintained a close professional exchange, Wurster blends modernism with the vernacular. Wurster described these homes as "frames for living": spaces that could be fully transformed by the occupant to meet their needs and desires, well-designed canvases for homemaking. Authors Caitlin Lempres Brostrom, AIA, and Richard C. Peters, FAIA, draw upon extensive historical research as well as personal relationships with Wurster to tell the story of his career, including both residential and institutional building. The Houses of William Wurster features new and archival footage of thirty-three of the architect's best-known houses and includes a foreword by Donlyn Lyndon.

Summary:
The varied practice of Paul Chan (born 1973) includes paintings, drawings, video animations and font design, as well as critical writing. The characters in his works are animated beings, jerking and stuttering as they are violently thrust into the clumsy reel--or "real"--of history. Chan explores the intellectual and sexual animus that courses through our collective language and consciousness, drawing on sources as varied as the King James Bible, Marquis de Sade and Samuel Beckett. Part of the 2000 Words series, conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, 2000 Words: Paul Chan presents the entirety of the artist's works in the Dakis Joannou Collection and includes an essay by Stephen Squibb that reveals the solitary image and its uncanny animation in Chan's work.

Summary:
Between 1973 and ’76, Mitch Epstein (born 1952) photographed in American cities- New York, Los Angeles and New Orleans, among others. He was initially shooting in black and white as a student of Garry Winogrand, when he asked his teacher, ''Why not color?'' With Winogrand’s blessing, Epstein shot his first rolls of Kodachrome. ''Silver + Chrome'' is a chronicle of his three years alternating between color and black and white, before eventually committing to color. This book contains Epstein’s earliest work, virtually none of which has been seen before. In these kinetic tableaux, the artist’s exuberance is tamed, just barely, by his formal intelligence. He depicts American city life as it undergoes taboo-shattering sexual liberation, economic crises and the repercussions of a boondoggle war in Vietnam, immersing us in the urban chaos of this complicated time.
