Taylor saw no distinction between his drawings and threedimensional works and referred to his constructions not as sculptures but as "drawings in space" or "drawing instruments". These objects were usually(...)

Summary:
Although Al Taylor began his career as a painter, in 1985 he devised an innovative approach that encompassed twodimensional drawings and three-dimensional objects. Taylor saw no distinction between his drawings and threedimensional works and referred to his constructions not as sculptures but as "drawings in space" or "drawing instruments". These objects were usually fashioned out of unconventional materials, and often incorporated humble and humorous elements. They offered multiple viewpoints and would subsequently form the basis of further explorations on paper. Rim Jobs and Sideffects presents two series, "Rim Jobs" (1995) and "Sideffects" (1995-97), which demonstrate Taylor's multi-dimensional compositions.

Summary:
This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Moholy-Nagy/In Motion introducing works spanning the full oeuvre of Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), an artist who brought new vision to the art of the 20th century. As a prominent member of the avant-garde art movements between the two World Wars, he developed an artistic ideal of creating works of light and motion. The pursuit of his career as a creative artist and art educator took Moholy-Nagy from his native Hungary to Vienna, then on to Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain and finally to the United States. Working in painting, photography, sculpture, film, graphic design, stage design and publishing, Moholy-Nagy’s career addressed many of the new issues confronting art in the 20th century, such as the relationship between art and industrial technology and the new media of information and communications. This exhibition marks Japan’s first full-scale retrospective of the art of Moholy-Nagy and spans the artist’s full career from its earliest years to its last in some 300 works and related materials and documents.

Summary:
In 1936, the first and only issue of the magazine telehor (Greek for television) was released in four languages as a special edition on and by László Moholy-Nagy. This facsimile reprint of the magazine is accompanied by a commentary volume.The reprint makes the magazine accessible again in terms of its artistic and theoretical-historical dimensions and particular attention has been paid to the production process. Thus the volume appears spiral-bound, an ultramodern technique in the mid-1930s. The commentary contains an editorial statement that places the magazine, telehor, in the context of the art and media of the 1920s and 1930s and unlocks the position of the artistic avant-garde at the intersection of two epochs. It also contains new translations of the original texts: in Mandarin, Russian, Hungarian and Spanish.

Summary:
Architect John van de Water set off in 2004 to a China that was modernizing at a furious pace. His intention was to put the European, conceptual way of thinking of NEXT architects into practice in China. Five turbulent years ensued, with projects being built on Chinese soil. A whole range of emotions sprang up in the space between Western and Chinese architectural thinking: incomprehension, confrontation, misunderstanding, acceptance, awareness, understanding and, eventually, advantage. You Can't Change China, China Changes You is a personal reflection of his experience. In it, the development of architectural thinking is described, researched and tested.
