Résumé:
Briar Levit’s design journey is as rich and unexpected as a forest hike. From the bustling offices of Bitch magazine to historic trails in Kent and the best Goodwills of Portland, her practice weaves through teaching, writing, editing, archiving, and documentary making. This illustrated interview traces her winding path across a changing feminist landscape, shedding light on how design and activism intertwine, the micropolitics of work, and the value of friendship. It’s an intimate conversation about how unplanned routes often lead to the most meaningful destinations.

Résumé:
This is the first extensive survey catalogue of the work of artist Ian Wallace—a key figure in the extraordinary artistic ferment of Vancouver, a pioneer and theorist of its internationally regarded tradition of photo-conceptualism, and a teacher and colleague of such luminaries as Jeff Wall, Rodney Graham, and Stan Douglas. Energized by the dialectic tensions between monochrome painting and documentary or staged photography, between the emblematic sites of street, studio and nature, Wallace’s practice fosters engagement with the persistent impulses of vanguard modernism.

This book began as a documentary project to capture the idiosyncratic vernacular architecture and artifacts (vintage businesses, roadside motels, neon signs, wall murals, fast-food joints, and so on) that helped give the city's various neighborhoods their unique character. But because so many of these places and artifacts were devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Delirious New Orleans has become both a historical record of what existed in the past and a blueprint for what must be rebuilt and restored to retain the city's unique multicultural landscape.

Black Maps is the first in-depth survey of the major aerial projects by David Maisel, whose images of radically altered terrain have transformed the practice of contemporary landscape photography.

Maisel's images of environmentally impacted sites consider the aesthetics of open pit mines, clear-cut forests, rampant urbanization and sprawl, and zones of water reclamation.
