Summary:
People in trouble laughing pushed to the ground. Soldiers leaning, pointing, reaching. Woman sweeping. Balloons escaping. Coffin descending. Boys standing. Grieving. Chair balancing. Children smoking. Embracing. Creatures barking. Cars burning. Helicopters hovering. Faces. Human figures. Shapes. Birds. Structures left standing and falling... The Belfast Exposed Archive occupies a small room on the first floor at 23 Donegal Street and contains over 14,000 black-and-white contact sheets, documenting the Troubles in Northern Ireland. These are photographs taken by professional photo-journalists and 'civilian' photographers, chronicling protests, funerals and acts of terrorism as well as the more ordinary stuff of life: drinking tea; kissing girls; watching trains. Belfast Exposed was founded in 1983 as a response to concern over the careful control of images depicting British military activity during the Troubles. The marks on the surface of the contact strips – across the image itself – allude to the presence of many visitors. These include successive archivists, who have ordered, catalogued and re-catalogued this jumble of images. For many years the archive was also made available to members of the public, and sometimes they would deface their own image with a marker pen, ink or scissors. So, in addition to the marks made by generations of archivists, photo editors, legal aides and activists, the traces of these very personal obliterations are also visible. They are the gestures of those who wished to remain anonymous.

Summary:
"My previous picture book was about a train trip to Baku, this book documents my ferry trip accross the Mediterranean Sea to Alexandria (or Iskandariyah as it is called in Arabic). I was invited to exhbit my work and conduct a workshop organized by the artist-run Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF). This paperback is a selection of the many drawings that transpired on this amazing journey. Not all my drawings are of a scene that catches my eye. Often it starts with coming across a really comfortable spot where I can sit undisturbed for some time amongst the hustle and rumble of a busy city. This, for me, can be quite meditative. Later, I scan the drawings to upload onto my website and other applications. This time round, I also experimented with the drawings and hope to present this book as my personal development or work in progress. I wish to share the overwhelming experience of drawing the ocean and have tried to capture the simultaneous static second and fluid element of the water by flushing the drawings through a scanner and allowing them to distort as they wish to flow, much like the city, much like life itself." Ingo Giezendanner alias GRRRR, July 2011 Since 1998, Ingo Giezendanner documents his surroundings with pen on paper. He produces zines, murals, books, exhibitions, video clips and maintains a website (GRRRR.net) to create his own world.

Summary:
Ron Jude’s new book, Lick Creek Line , extends and amplifies his ongoing fascination with the vagaries of photographic empiricism, and the gray area between documentation and fiction. In a sequential narrative punctuated by contrasting moments of violence and beauty, Jude follows the rambling journey of a fur trapper, methodically checking his trap line in a remote area of Idaho in the Western United States. Through converging pictures of landscapes, architecture, an encroaching resort community, and the solitary, secretive process of trapping pine marten for their pelts, Lick Creek Line underscores the murky and culturally arbitrary nature of moral critique.

Summary:
L'œuvre originale The Line , un dessin de 10 mètres de long déployé sur 29 panneaux en accordéon, constitue le manifeste de Saul Steinberg pour les potentialités conceptuelles de la ligne et du geste de l'artiste qui lui donne vie. Il s'agit d'un dessin conçu pour le « Labyrinthe des enfants », une structure présentée à la dixième triennale de Milan, une foire d'art et d'architecture qui s'est tenue en août 1954. Le dessin, qui était photographié, agrandi et apposé au mur, faisait partie de quatre projets réalisés par Steinberg pour le labyrinthe.Le dessin est composé d'une suite de tableaux traversés par une simple ligne horizontale. Cette ligne structure chaque tableau en se métamorphosant en différents éléments : une ligne d'eau, une corde à linge, une voie ferrée, un trottoir, une ligne de division arithmétique, un bord de table, etc. La main de l'artiste dessinant la ligne inaugure et conclut la séquence. L'ouvrage reproduit le dessin sur un dépliant de plus de cinq mètres.

Summary:
The second in a series of publications on mid-century architecture in the Buffalo Books series, this book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery extension, a black modernist box, designed by Gordon Bunshaft, set adjacent to the original Neoclassical gallery. Bunshaft’s ideas were progressive in the post-war era and anticipated transformations finally emerging today. He once said “…the building industry, as a whole, not just the architectural aspects of it, is a slow moving device…but eventually we will have pre-fabricated, light constructed, rapidly constructed, clean buildings.”
