Stanton’ (2015), ‘The Corner Show’ (2015), ‘Cinema’ (2017), and ‘Essen’ (2016–2021). Wouter Davidts’s analysis of ‘Untitled’ (2014) sets the tone, a work that seems to anticipate the complex interplay between drawing, sculpture, and architecture apparent in Metten’s other projects, where he gives spaces with a distinct social programme and scale a sculptural transformation. With photos by Jan Kempenaers and drawings by Kris Kimpe and Samyra Moumouh.

Summary:
Artist and fashion designer Cinzia Ruggeri (1942–2019) made her artistic research a tool for inquiry into the functional and semantic properties of the object and the architectural and social dimension of the body, according to an original and nonconformist perspective enriched by irony and oneirism. This is the first monograph on this unconventional figure who moved across disciplines with absolute freedom. Her life and versatile practice were driven by the desire to redefine the formal and functional status of elements of everyday life, from apparel to accessories, from furnishings to lighting. Ruggeri created imaginative, provocative, elegant, and never predictable worlds.

Summary:
Issue 4 of Deem journal opens with a conversation between visionary artist Theaster Gates—who shares his perspectives around place as the connecting thread in his practice—and Deem co-founders Nu Goteh and Alice Grandoit-Šutka. Gates’s approach to redeeming and sacralizing space as place lays the groundwork for a multitude of other interviews, essays, and interventions that address how we make place from spatial experiences. As always, we welcomed perspectives from contributors of varying backgrounds, interests, and disciplines, and it is our hope that this investigation will help us all think about place in ways both new and old.

Summary:
Roughly half of the raw materials we extract go into the world’s built environment. Construction creates an estimated one-third of the globe’s overall waste and at least 40 per cent of carbon emissions. These are devastating figures, but they also mean that the construction sector has the power to make a relevant contribution to reversing the climate emergency. In several short essays, this book develops a global perspective on economic, social, and ecological changes in the industry, highlights the experiences of various market players in interviews, presents best practice examples, and dispels the most common prejudices regarding sustainable construction.

Summary:
This is a unique look at a group of international artists who place craft at the heart of their practice, transforming everyday subjects and ordinary materials into works that are out of the ordinary. The book features unusual works including the ephemeral ice and chocolate jewellery of Naomi Filmer, the almost hidden installations by Yoshihiro Suda, thread and lace-work of Anne Wilson and found metal sculptures by Olu Amoda. These innovative artists show that craft is a fundamental concern across many disciplines, and this redirection of materials and traditional techniques and use of scale achieves extraordinary outcomes.
