Summary:
The experimentation blossomed into a lifelong obsession that would culminate in his best-known series of paintings, Homage to the Square, in which he painted several differently-colored squares within larger squares in order to illustrate his theory that alterations in environment, shape and light would produce changes in color. This edition contains impeccable reproductions of Albers' famous series, which beautifully illustrate the artist's primary thesis, that the discrepancy between visual information received by the retina and what the mind perceives proves that this information is not intrinsic to color itself, but is dependent on its relationship with its surroundings.

Wright first visited Italy in 1910; there he would elaborate the ideals of a democratic architecture, closely connected to nature, that inspired his work and that of many Italian architects. In 1935 Edoardo Persico’s thoughts on Wright precipitated a decades-long engagement with the theory of organic architecture and its implications for Italian culture. This exhibition catalogue details the relationship between Wright and Italy, from prairie houses and skyscrapers to public projects.

Over the last half century, Bernard Lassus has developed his theory and practice of the conditions that enable our appropriation of urban spaces. Light, colour and movement are the main elements forming his art installations and urban spatial designs. In this previously unpublished analysis, art historian Stephen Bann scrutinises Lassuss professional and creative trajectory as it intersects with other leading artistic and intellectual figures, from kinetic art to garden design and landscapes. Appearances in the everyday environment are crucial in this reflection on the meaning of being an integral part of the shifts of contemporary society, in architecture, urbanism and beyond.

Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.

A digital platform transmogrified into a book, it explains the ambitious online project of the same name that maps the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive, hypermedia environment. The authors examine the media archaeology of Google Earth and the cultural–historical meaning of map projections, and explore recent events—the “Arab Spring” and the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster—through social media mapping that incorporates data visualizations, photographic documents, and Twitter streams.
