Summary:
'Lee and I have shared a number of unconventionally interesting friends during our five decades together, people who show us an unusual way of living a life. I would put Raoul Hague on that list, maybe at the top. Beginning in the mid 1960s and continuing for more than 25 years, Lee and I and our children visited him at the Woodstock, New York, cabin where he lived and worked. To enter Hague's cabin was entering his universe. It was not simply a dwelling and a studio but a carefully organized way of life, a reflection of an esthetic ideal. All he did, whether work or pleasure, was driven by this ideal, which he created for himself and carried out without compromise. Hague was the quintessential storybook artist'. - from the text by Maria Friedlander. Witness Number 6 provides a portrait - in 157 photographs by Lee Friedlander, and accompanying essay by Maria Friedlander - of the sculptor Raoul Hague. The Friedlanders knew Hague for over two and a half decades, and their deep fondness for, and mutual trust with, the Armenian-born sculptor comes through in every image and word of this gorgeous addition to JGS s Witness series.

Summary:
The question of the horizon, one of the recurring themes in the work of Dutch conceptualist Jan Dibbets, returns in this exhibition catalog from the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Hague. In this poetic and clever new work, using the photographic image in an almost geometric collage, Dibbets takes two photographs, a landscape and a seascape, and repeatedly juxtaposes them in various ways that divide the horizon. Coming out of the 1970s European conceptual art movement, Dibbets is a major figure in Dutch art and on the international scene.

Summary:
Women have been professional photographers since the inception of the medium, yet their work has received far less attention than that of their male colleagues. From the more than 15 million photographs stored in the Dutch National Archives in The Hague, the editors of ''Pioneers: Photography by women'' selected a compilation of more than 200 images by 42 female photographers created between 1859 and 1999. It highlights well-known photographers in the Netherlands and abroad, such as Margaret Bourke-White and Eve Arnold, while also spotlighting under-recognized artists creating profound work. Whether through composition, technique or subject matter, their innovations paved the way for future generations of photographers.

Summary:
'Trigger' is a new platform launched by Fotomuseum Antwerpen for research, reflection, and dialogue on all things photographic. This first publication on 'Impact' is made in close collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK), The Hague, and guest editor Donald Weber. It aims to cast impact as a re-enactment or assertion of radical intimacy, initiate a different gaze on the world, and show that impact can also exist within an ecology or geography of photography. Through 20 contributions by Ariella Azoulay, Lewis Bush, Taco Hidde Bakker, Andrew Jackson and Savannah Dodd, Shahidul Alam, Andrea Stultiens, and more, we learn how impact is social, participative, conflictual.

Summary:
The long period in-between demolition or renovation of a building site and the arrival of a new building can often impose a sad and somewhat ugly sight on a neighbourhood, however it can also offer possibilities to give a new and dynamic impulse. Hotel Transvaal, which lies in the neighbourhood of Transvaal, in The Hague, Netherlands, is such a source of inspiration. More than half of the social housing in this neighbourhood was demolished, however many of the finest rooms could be temporarily booked up until the moment of demolition. The interiors of the ‘hotel’ rooms were designed by artists and shop-owners from the neighbourhood. This book explores the development and realisation of the project.

Summary:
In a public park in the Hague, British artist Nils Norman (born 1966) has devised an unusual work of art: one that grows and blossoms and produces delicious fruit and vegetables. Norman's "Edible Park" was developed using the principles of permaculture, a form of vegetable gardening in which different plants are combined in such a way that they complement one another's needs as they grow. More than just a gardening model, permaculture is a nature-based design philosophy that can be used as a guide for architecture, product design and to improve society in general. In Edible Park, Norman explains his methods, his sources of inspiration and the artistic and social-critical context around his work.
