“Three men in a boat” was the name Giovanni Klaus Koenig in 1989 gave the group of young designers Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi.

Summary:
“Three men in a boat” was the name Giovanni Klaus Koenig in 1989 gave the group of young designers Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi. The five-word title cleverly captured two distinctive features of the three men: the playfulness of their approach to design and their passion for sailing. Play and rules, rules and play: a rare approach by designers and one that this publication plays tribute to. A selection of iconic pieces shows the important contribution De Pas, D’Urbino and Lomazzi have made to Italian design both professionally and as regards research and experimentation.

Summary:
Publication documenting two recent bodies of work by New York-based artist Gareth Long. Untitled (Stories) is a set of lenticular prints accompanied by the book series that pivots around a disjunction between the oeuvre of J.D. Salinger and the design of his books: the original Little, Brown & Co. book cover designs are a starting point for nine large-scale prints. An unfinished Gustave Flaubert novel is the central point around which the other works revolve. Bouvard and Pécuchet's Invented Desk for Copying is a suite of two-sided desk-sculptures that form the core of a related suite of projects. At the heart of both works lies a fascination with books as uniquely flexible vehicles of meaning, as complex compendia to be read, re-read and mis-read.

Summary:
Internationally acclaimed photographer Arnaud Maggs is best known for detailed, grid-like portrait studies that betray a stark intimacy. These include 64 Portrait Studies (1978) and 48 Views (1981-83), a series that included such Canadian celebrities as Yousuf Karsh and Leonard Cohen. In 1973 after a career as a graphic designer (Maggs designed the album cover for Jazz at Massey Hall released by Charles Mingus in 1955), Arnaud Maggs decided to become a visual artist at the age of 47. For nearly 40 years his work has been marked by questions of mortality and reverberates with historical and anthropological meaning. This first career-overview showcases his monumental photographic installations, documentation of found ephemera, books, typography, classification systems and diagrammatic drawings.

Summary:
Bernard Plossu parcourt l'Ouest américain de 1966 à 1985. Du Nouveau Mexique à la Californie, via le Nevada, l'Utah, l'Arizona, il photographie les signes, signaux, néons, panneaux et façades sur lesquels apparaissent cowboys et Indiens le long des routes qui traversent le désert. Par dérision, il appelle la série « De Buffalo Bill à Automo Bill ». Sous le regard amusé du photographe, les anciens ennemis, le cowboy, avec ses colts à la ceinture et son chapeau, et l'Indien, avec son tomahawk et sa coiffure en plumes, se livrent désormais une guerre commerciale en étant investis comme enseignes de boutiques rivales. Selon David Le Breton, ces photographies témoignent de la nostalgie inguérissable d'un monde amérindien disparu dont Bernard Plossu a longtemps rêvé. L'ombre des populations indiennes ayant vécu dans sa proximité continue à hanter le désert. Il y a là dans ces rochers et dans la nostalgie de la mesa, l'image possible d'une existence où la fêlure serait atténuée, où une hospitalité serait enfin pensable. Mémoire d'un monde sans séparation mais voué au dépouillement, à l'essentiel, à l'élémentaire.
