Summary:
The Other Rooms is a sequel to Yoko Ono's Grapefruit, a now classic artist's book that was first published in 1964 and became a cult classic following its wider distribution after 1970. Matching the satisfyingly compact size of Grapefruit, and beautifully bound in white cloth, The Other Rooms is conceived as a series of rooms that unfold the story of, in the words of the artist, “the life of a woman seeing through the eyes of her son.” On page after page, or room after room, Ono walks the reader through her unique expression of motherly utopian pedagogy, providing observations and instruction “pieces” such as the following, for “Balance Piece”: a) Politicians should wear pink transparent loose robes or pajama-like outfits without the bottoms at all times. b) A priest should wear a bright red suit with one sleeve and bell-bottom pants with his penis exposed at all times. c) The army should wear drag (cocktail party-type flair skirts) and high-heel shoes with jewelry (earrings, etc.) Other sequences simply describe imaginary rooms, and invite the reader to inhabit them, or suggest new approaches to tasks such as gardening, or to one's hometown, all in the serenely open style for which Ono is so famed. The Other Rooms is joyfully interactive in this sense, finding ways “to open doors… where there are no doors.”

Summary:
Shanghai has grown at a breathtaking pace since the 1990s. Housing developments are constantly multiplying, entire districts are demolished, residents are relocated, multilevel roads are built into the cityscape, and more and more areas are pinpointed for renewal. But how does this dramatic growth alter public space and people’s living environment, and what impact does it have on the inhabitants? These questions are urgent and relevant in megacities all over the world. In the exhibition “Shanghai (Urban Public) Space” curated by Anke Haarmann in 2008, artists, scientists, and philosophers from China and Germany sought answers to these questions; the results are presented in this publication, including one volume of texts and one of illustrations.

Summary:
A homage to Richard Prince's many classic publications, Jonathan Monk's new book reveals that the artist, customarily regarded as a classic instance of the “post-studio” practitioner, working from a small desk, a computer and a cell phone, actually has a traditional physical space, documented here, Prince-style, with loving attention to his working props.
