Summary:
This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of more than 25 years of unique creations by French Portuguese artist-architect Didier Fiúza Faustino (born 1968), who works at the intersection of the body and architectural space. Since 1995, Faustino has been developing a multifaceted approach ranging from installation to experimentation, from visual art to the creation of multisensory spaces and buildings. The publication is divided into three main parts. The first is designed as a magazine with fake advertisements created by Faustino’s Bureau des Mésarchitectures. The second focuses on the agency’s manifesto projects. The third part shows the realizations of these projects. In between these sections are the agency’s manifesto texts, as well as contributions from various authors analyzing the work of Faustino and his team.

Horror in architecture

Summary:
Horror in Architecture may be read as a history, as an alternative to the classic canon of good and proper architectures, or as a sly manifesto for a new approach to the design of the built environment—one that encourages a playful subversion of conventions.

Summary:
During the glory days of Something Else Press (1964-1974), its founder, the poet, editor and scholar Dick Higgins created the Great Bear imprint to publish pamphlets that were quickly printed and easily disseminated, guaranteeing wide distribution and accessibility. Ranging in length from 16 to 32 pages, saddle-stitched and printed on varying color stock, the Great Bear pamphlets showcased the work of some of the most innovative writers and artists across the twentieth century: the likes of Jackson Mac Low, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Robert Filliou, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, Dieter Roth, David Antin and Claes Oldenburg appeared alongside predecessors such as the Italian Futurist composer Luigi Russolo and John Cage's seminal Diary: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make Matters Worse). All pamphlets have been out of print since their original publications in the 1960s.
