Résumé:
This book examines how designers today are creating typography with the aid of a multitude of different techniques. From manual lettering, calligraphy and collage to manipulative time exposure of photographs, designers are developing fonts for the moment which are irregular and often accidental. Blocks of ice are even being staged as real characters and paper cut forms and shadows metamorphose into letters and spatial installations. This book shows such cuttingedge examples of elusive scripts that are being translated into serially employable alphabets to be used digitally with the computer.

Résumé:
Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache wrote dozens of books, hundreds of letters and postcards, and countless texts. Not a single one was legible, yet, in their promixity to language, they all resonate with a mysterious potential for meaning. Using ink on paper, Dermisache invented an array of graphic languages, each with its own unique lexical and syntactic structure, laden with poetic and sometimes visceral suggestion. Some writings feel like nets or knots or transcriptions of seismic waves; some are scrawled with seeming abandon while others are meticulously inked in a refined, almost musical script.

Résumé:
Reprinted facsimile edition of a masterpiece of modern typography. "For the Voice" is considered to be Lissitzky's masterpiece of modern typography which was originally published in Berlin in 1923. As Lissitzky explained, "I have tried to create an equivalent unity using the poem and the typography," this book is a magnificent example of collaboration between poet and artist. Lissitzky provided visual interpretation of Mayakovsky's poems and each of them is accompanied by a dynamic visual composition with symbolic meaning. Printed letters in red, black and white tones become pictorial signs, contributing to each poem's identity.

Résumé:
Robert Smithson: Art In Continual Movement is a seminal compilation of material from different archives in the Netherlands and the US: photographs, film recordings, drawings, texts and letters dealing with the famous land art work Broken Circle/Spiral Hill in Emmen, Drenthe (Netherlands), which Robert Smithson designed in 1971 for the exhibition Sonsbeek buiten de perken. This is one of only three preserved land art works of Smithson worldwide. The significance of this particular art work has been relatively neglected in the extensive literature on Smithson’s work, nevertheless, it is one of his key works.
