Summary:
Over the course of just two months in 1965, at a residency at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, the Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa produced a stunning portfolio of 54 lithographs, depicting organic forms and plants as well as family and friends. The Tamarind Workshop had been founded by artist June Wayne in Los Angeles in 1960 in an effort to revitalize lithography as a fine art, and offered artists the opportunity to work in collaboration with master printers. For Asawa, it was a rare chance to focus on a single medium and opened up a new chapter of artmaking for her. A testament to Asawa's radically experimental and collaborative ethos, the Tamarind prints present a discrete chapter of her oeuvre, encapsulating many of the artist's emblematic motifs. Published in celebration of the artist's centennial in 2026, this exquisitely produced book illustrates each lithograph made during her residency at the Tamarind Workshop, which have never been published as a complete series.

Une série d'études de maisons réalisées à l'aquarelle par l'artiste suédois, imprimées en risographie. « Over time, I have collected shapes—in this case all in the form of houses. I study their details closely: the tilt of a roof, the rhythm of windows, subtle shifts in proportion. My fascination with unique structures is endless, whether it's a simple shed or a complex architectural form I hadn't considered before. Communicating through built forms has become central to my practice. A house can carry memories, emotions, and ideas all at once—offering space for the viewer's own interpretation. » Andreas Samuelsson

Summary:
Raphaëlle Peria utilise la photographie comme support pour mener un travail de l’ordre du dessin. Depuis quelques années, elle développe une technique de grattage dont elle se sert pour faire apparaître de nouvelles formes et révéler les éléments de la photographie qui sont les plus évocateurs du sujet qu’elle approche. Les paysages, les éléments naturels et les écosystèmes sont au cœur de sa démarche artistique et sont des points de départ de voyage au cours desquels elle effectue ses prises de vue. En sélectionnant des fragments de l’image, ceux gardés tels quels, elle crée des changements d’échelle et joue de textures différentes, d’une matérialité photographique devenue un style qui lui est propre, textures qu’elle produit par sa technique affinée au fil du temps. Ces jeux de métamorphoses font surgir de nouveaux mondes. Ses œuvres composent ici un milieu à la fois fragile et fascinant.

Summary:
VisualCollect presents a small exhibition titled “Artpiece, The Story of Plant Room.” This exhibition was curated to capture the awakening of plants and their surroundings as we transition from the end of winter into the warmth of spring. It aims to convey the idea that houseplants in modern society are more than mere decorations, they are precious companions that breathe alongside our lives. Through the scenes surrounding these plants, we sought to create a harmony where nature and art blend together, and to share that process with others. From small succulents on a shelf, to climbing vines on the wall, to the bright green hues that fill window sills, each space reflects our tastes and personal stories. In this exhibition, artist Lee Su presents works that highlight vibrant color contrasts, featuring a charming grandfather dressed in raincoats as colorful as fish. These cheerful paintings lift the viewer’s mood and are all brought together in a storybook format. About the Artist Lee Su began painting after being captivated by the colorful scenery of London during his travels. He mainly works with themes of grandfathers and fish, expressing his wish to age with wit and to live a life as colorful and varied as a fish’s hues. His favorite brand is YMC, which he finds appealing for its bold use of color, and his favorite artist is David Hockney, known for his use of bright, uplifting colors.

Summary:
Media coverage of Japanese architecture the past twenty years has largely been dominated by the works of SANAA, Sou Fujimoto, Junya Ishigami and their contemporaries. Their skillfully designed, ethereal white spaces and structures, have proved well suited to being exported in an increasingly visual culture. ''Communal Ecologies'', on the other hand, highlights an emerging generation of young architects pursuing a very different vision. They strive for an architecture that is rougher, more dynamic, and deeply rooted in social and ecological engagement. With a growing interest in community and network building, and a reevaluation of architecture’s connection to nature, they are developing critical methodologies for practice, and are reimagining the role of the architect in the process. Faced with a lack of opportunities in traditional housing design due to Japan’s economic decline, alongside a heightened awareness of ecological challenges brought on by frequent natural disasters, this generation of architects are crafting innovative strategies to engage with the existing housing stock and address challenges related to sustainability, reuse and transformation.

Summary:
The American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) won acclaim and awards for his diverse oeuvre that spanned six decades and included paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, and performance. Less well known is the role that writing played in his creative process. Rauschenberg self-identified as dyslexic and did not publish extensively, leading to the widely held assumption that he was not an artist who wrote. This book corrects the record, showcasing 100 passages, many published here for the first time, from Rauschenberg’s robust body of written work. Comprising correspondence, artist notes, testimony, speeches, and more, this collection brings to light the artist’s love of language and reveals that writing was, in fact, central to Rauschenberg’s practice. The writings, illustrated with reproductions in the artist’s distinctive hand, are infused with visual and intellectual lyricism, humor, and insight, and span topics from the freedom of artistic expression to environmental concerns.

Summary:
Over the last 50 years, Lebanese American artist Simone Fattal's (born 1942) multifaceted practice has explored the impact of displacement as well as the episteme of archeology and mythology, drawing from a range of sources including war narratives, landscape painting, ancient history and poetry. Inspired by her visit to the archeological sites of Pompeii, Fattal debuts a new body of sculpture and ceramics blending history with memory, grappling with the loss of time while revealing its repetitions. Says Fattal of Pompeii's significance, "the place has not been destroyed by time, but by a moment ... there are fragments of all periods mingled together ... Egypt is present, but also Syria and Asia Minor. But with all this diversity and differences, it seems that all lived together in harmony."

Summary:
« Border Tuner | Sintonizador Fronterizo » documents Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s participatory art installation composed of powerful search-lights forming bridges of light that opened live channels for direct communication across the U.S.-Mexico border. At a time of intense anti-immigrant rhetoric, militarized surveillance, and nationalist violence, the artwork connected the sister cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, creating a platform for people to converge along the border to speak to one another and listen across the divide. This volume features extensive documentation of the artwork and its activation by tens of thousands of people who gathered to honor the interdependence of life in the borderlands. The book’s ten essays, presented in both English and Spanish, critically examine the legacy of Lozano-Hemmer’s project within the wider frame of artistic production along the U.S.-Mexico border.
