Résumé:
This book presents the typographic experiments and experimental typography of visionary artist and designer Oded Ezer for the first time. A pioneer in the field, Ezer is one of the most influential designers today, who is reinventing the art of typography.Based in Tel Aviv, Ezer has an almost scientific approach to type design in which he explores the anatomy of letters and alphabets. His Hebrew and Latin characters and alphabets are influenced by calligraphy and integrate elements that are not typical for font design, such as ornamental and organic shapes that resemble creatures. The book introduces his type art and hybrid typo creatures, including projects from his Biotypography series.

Photographer Sean Lotman and his son Tennbo present a collection of collaborative works in which they took photographs of each other with a Polaroid camera and corresponded through letters. The relationship between the two is layered by the multiple exposures of the camera, blending the gaze of the son with the perspective of the child. ‘Puking Rainbows Past and Future’ gathers memories of the now that contain both “then” and “now”. The images are reproduced in transparent foil with the same dimensions as Polaroid film, while the codex binding uses the rainbow colours of the book’s title.

In her later years, she stopped producing these, but she continued to write a great deal, and at her death she left behind many poems, drafts, and letters.

Résumé:
Although a very prolific poet, Emily Dickinson published fewer than a dozen poems. Instead, she created small handmade books. In her later years, she stopped producing these, but she continued to write a great deal, and at her death she left behind many poems, drafts, and letters. It is among the makeshift and fragile manuscripts of Dickinson’s later writings that we find the envelope poems gathered here. These manuscripts on envelopes (recycled by the poet with marked New England thrift) were written with the full powers of her late, most radical period. Intensely alive, these envelope poems are charged with a special poignancy—addressed to no one and everyone at once.

Résumé:
The visual report ‘Activism Doubt,’ is the vibrant result of a series of public works where Jonas Staal and Harmen de Hoop used each other as performers for their respective works according to a number of agreed rules. This process resulted in a powerful mapping of artistic possibilities that engage with public space/the public domain, while also examining such questions as – is it possible to combine both political and artistic objectives?, and; what is the influence of the artist on the structure and usage of the public domain? Intriguing and engaging, the book is illustrated throughout and accompanied by interviews with the two artists, letters and explanatory notes.
