Résumé:
In "Forest and garden", Melanie L. Simo ranges through a period of landscape history that has been underexamined, between Olmsted and mid-twentieth-century modernism, when the contours of the debate were formed and the landscape professions came of age. Simo's book spans half a century, from the year that Charles Sprague Sargent's influential "Garden and Forest" magazine ceased publication in 1897 to the appearance in 1949 of two unusual books about land and landscape—Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" and Jens Jensen's "The Clearing" —that marked the beginning of a new ecological awareness.

Résumé:
The dictionary. The ubiquitous high-gloss fashion ad. The fraught relationship between artist and critic. Sleeping Beauty ties these disparate strands of our everyday lives together only to strip away everything we thought we knew about each of them. A collaborative work by the artist John Sparagana and the critic Mieke Bal, this truly cutting-edge work takes the shape of a conversation between his creations—distressed, or “fatigued,” magazine pages—and her words, imagining anew the relationships of image to text and of art to those who write about it.

Résumé:
Since the mid-1990s, contemporary art has been booming like never before. There is more of everything - more artists, more collectors, more galleries, more art fairs, more museums, more biennials... with one exception: criteria with which the art of the moment can be understood, juged, praised and if needed damned. Jörg Heiser, co-editor of frieze magazine, provides a sharp summary of contemporary art since Marcel Duchamp. Using many artworks as example, the author identifies some central ideas and artistic methods that seem important for understanding what fuels art's progress into the future.

The 14 snaps are a consideration on "giving up" comfort in favor of a unique and fashionable look when designing objects. In this specific case, the object is a chair that, instead of being a comfy spot where one can wind down at the end of the day, forces us to explore new, not-so-relaxing postures! W: 50 cm H: 77.5 cm

Résumé:
Astonishingly, Stephan Sagmeister has only learned twenty things in his life so far. But he did manage to publish these personal maxims all over the world, in spaces normally occupied by advertisements and promotions: as billboards, projections, light boxes, magazine spreads, annual report covers, fashion brochures, and recently, as giant inflatable monkeys. In this design book for non-designers Sagmeister throws his diary, a lot of design, and a little art together with a pinch of psychology and a dash of happiness into a blender and pushes the button. It tastes surprisingly yummy.
