Summary:
Independent publishing, art publishing, publishing as artistic practice, publishing counterculture, and the zine, DIY, and POD scenes have proliferated over the last two decades. So too have art book fairs, an increasingly important venue?or even medium?for art. Art publishing experienced a similar boom in the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the culture's "linguistic turn." Today, art publishing confronts the internet and the avalanche of language and images that it enables. The printed book offers artists both visibility and tangibility. "Publishing Manifestos" gathers texts by artists, authors, editors, publishers, designers, zinesters, and activists to explore this rapidly expanding terrain for art practice.

Summary:
O-14: Projection and Reception explores the groundbreaking exo-skeleton office tower in Dubai by New York-based architects, Reiser+Umemoto. This monograph not only provides exhaustive documentation of O-14's design and construction but delves further into the complex interrelationships this architectural model weaves between technology, expression and politics in the context of the 'nowhere place' of the global city.

Summary:
Attention, selection and adaptation are the processes Michel Rojkind proposes in this spirited manifesto as key elements of his approach, addressing the architectural solutions to current problems in an increasingly complex and dynamic context. Alongside multifocal analysis from Alejandro Hernández Gálvez and conversations with Bjarke Ingels, Paul Nakazawa and Alejandro Aravena, Rojkind links concepts, experiences and opinions with intuition and sensitivity. His twisting, performative parametric forms take on new substance as Rojkind concludes that the best architects are not simply builders their attentive and focused reading of contemporary society is crucial to their craft.

With this revised and expanded edition, Hickey is back to fan the flames. More manifesto than polite discussion, more call to action than criticism, The Invisible Dragon aims squarely at the hyper-institutionalism that, in Hickey’s view, denies the real pleasures that draw us to art in the first place. Deploying the artworks of Warhol, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Mapplethorpe and the writings of Ruskin, Shakespeare, Deleuze, and Foucault, Hickey takes on museum culture, arid academicism, sclerotic politics, and more—all in the service of making readers rethink the nature of art

Summary:
The automobile has brought about changes to the landscape that are nothing short of revolutionary. The dramatic reconfiguration of cities and the countryside to accommodate our taste for freedom of movement has been matched by a change in the way buildings themselves have been planned. Today, CAD and car-building techniques have opened up new possibilities for architectural design and this book, edited by the London-based journalist Jonathan Bell, argues that the influence of the car on architectural and urban thinking is greater than ever. A compelling manifesto for the future of building design.

Summary:
In a world careening towards climate chaos, nature is dead. It can no longer be separated from society. Everything is a blur of hybrids, where humans possess no exceptional agency to set them apart from dead matter. But is it really so? In this blistering polemic and theoretical manifesto, Andreas Malm develops a counterargument: in a warming world, nature comes roaring back, and it is more important than ever to distinguish between the natural and the social. Only with a unique agency attributed to humans can resistance become conceivable.

Part monograph, part manifesto, "Christian Wassmann: Sun Path House and Other Cosmic Architectures" is the first comprehensive publication on the Swiss designer and architect (born 1974). Centered around the Sun Path House in Miami Beach (2015), this book presents projects originating from Wassmann’s interest in the interconnections of the arts, his love for geometry and his awareness of the cosmos. Illustrated with examples of Wassmann’s projects and unrealized ideas, this volume draws parallels between current technologies, ancient knowledge and sustainable materials while highlighting sensibilities far beyond the visible.
