Résumé:
This book aims to better understand the working process of the most interesting and challenging contemporary typographic designers, and to show a great variety of different examples of typography in the publishing world. It is a detailed look into editorial design, in books, magazines, newspapers, catalogues, annual reports and brochures. Type at Work presents: ‘Conceptual and Visible Thinking’, in which typography is deliberately used to support the expression of a certain concept or idea; ‘Xplicit Typography’, in which the selected projects use type as image; and "unctional Knowledge" gathering projects whose main criteria are clarity and legibility. "Type at Work" is packed with visual inspiration and provides profound insight into the use of type. The book includes work by today’s best typographic designers around the world, including Cahan & Associates, Peter Bil'ak, Martin Venezky, EumoGràphic, Frost Design, Plazm, Tau Diseño, Max Kisman, Moniteurs, Typerware, Jon Barnbrook, Orange Juice and Mieke Gerritzen. Author Andreu Balius is co-founder of the Typerware studio in Barcelona and has received numerous international design awards.

Résumé:
This book is a real first in the world of architecture publishing. It is the first time that the work of Donald Judd has been fully expounded in an architectural context. As one of the most important exponents of American minimal art, Donald Judd (1928–1994) has exerted a lasting influence in the field of architecture. Among the lesser-known aspects of his work is a large collection of architectural designs that explore the relationship between architecture and art. Of special importance for Judd’s work in this field is a former military fort in Marfa, Texas, part of which he purchased and then, beginning in 1971, transformed into one of the largest existing ensembles of contemporary art. The Marfa buildings have for the first time been carefully measured and drawn to scale by the author and his students. Using standard CAD drawings together with historical and contemporary photographs, this volume illustrates Judd’s architectural alterations to the buildings in Marfa, and discusses and describes them in its accompanying text. The result is an invaluable source of inspiration for contemporary architecture.

Résumé:
THREADS, a series of talks devoted to the art of the book, includes poets, artists, and publishers. It explores and enriches relationships between various strands of book culture that are often approached in isolation: poetry and writing; visual and performing arts; collaboration; design; printing; independent publishing; literary history; critical theory; and material culture. The premise for the series was very similar to the kind of interdisciplinary approach to the book that has interested us all along. A book is never more successful than the relationship between its parts; the philosophical and material connections between writing, art, design, typography, translation, and distribution is more significant than excellence in any isolated area. The talks were originally recorded before a small studio audience, then made available to the public on PennSound, and are now collected here in written form for the first time. THREADS began in March 2009 and concluded in October 2012. There were twelve speakers: Alan Loney; Charles Alexander; Simon Cutts; Buzz Spector; Jerome Rothenberg; Cecilia Vicuna; Jen Bervin; Kathleen Walkup; Johanna Drucker; Keith Smith; Richard Minsky; and Emily McVarish."

Résumé:
This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Moholy-Nagy/In Motion introducing works spanning the full oeuvre of Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), an artist who brought new vision to the art of the 20th century. As a prominent member of the avant-garde art movements between the two World Wars, he developed an artistic ideal of creating works of light and motion. The pursuit of his career as a creative artist and art educator took Moholy-Nagy from his native Hungary to Vienna, then on to Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain and finally to the United States. Working in painting, photography, sculpture, film, graphic design, stage design and publishing, Moholy-Nagy’s career addressed many of the new issues confronting art in the 20th century, such as the relationship between art and industrial technology and the new media of information and communications. This exhibition marks Japan’s first full-scale retrospective of the art of Moholy-Nagy and spans the artist’s full career from its earliest years to its last in some 300 works and related materials and documents.

Résumé:
In recent years risography has captured the attention of printers and artists, especially in independent and self-publishing circles, given the technical and visual qualities it offers. Varied and vivid spot colors, the warmth of the finishes, and occasional imperfections in uniformity and register are just some of these attractive features. Designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing, Risographs are far less expensive than conventional photocopy machines and laser or ink printers. Rich in illustrations, pictures, detailed instructions and infographics, this practical guide to Risograph printing will teach readers how to set up a Risograph, how to prepare files to print, how to make overprints and knockouts, how to choose paper, how to handle freshly printed works, what ink to use and about any additional equipment they will need to become a Riso master. An ideal primer for novice users of a Riso printer, readers will also learn how to apply artistic printing techniques that will allow them to print with brighter, more expressive, saturated colors that, unlike photocopy ink, do not fade over time. The book also includes profiles of notable printers, with one featured work of Riso art and the printing technique used.

Résumé:
Ever since the creation of the first Penguin paperbacks in 1935, their jackets have become a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture and design history. Rich with stunning illustrations and filled with detail of individual titles, designers and even the changing size and shape of the Penguin logo itself, this book shows how covers become design classics. By looking back at seventy years of Penguin paperbacks, Phil Baines charts the development of British publishing, book-cover design and the role of artists and designers in creating and defining the Penguin look. Coupling in-depth analysis of designers - from Jan Tschichold to Romek Marber - with a wide-ranging look at the range of series and titles published - from early Penguins and Pelicans, to wartime Specials, fiction and reference, this is a distinctive picture of how Penguin has consistently established its identity through its covers, influenced by - and influencing - the wider development of graphic design and the changing fashions in typography, photography, illustration or printing techniques. Filled with inspiring images, "Penguin by Design" demonstrates just how difficult it is not to judge a book by its cover.

Résumé:
Since the 1980s, Colin Sackett, a book artist, designer and printer based in Axminster, has been publishing books which take peripheral information as a source material, and rejuvenate it so as to make it newly intelligible and vital. Sources as diverse as book indexes, Ordnance Survey maps, watercress labels and radio commentaries are singled out. These texts are edited and rearranged, sifted and panned and sieved, so that language comes to the surface new and raw and untarnished. The art here is typographical, and the end product of these explorations is a backlist of impeccable publications of simplicity and plainness. Englshpublshing sees a body of work published discretely in the 1990s, with essays, commentaries and unpublished pieces, compiled into a single volume with a standardised format. An opportunity, then, to concentrate on content, rather than product, and what is striking is the consistent wit and audacity charging this assault on an unsuspected hotchpotch of source material. Unrelated words and works strike off each other in counterpoint, building a compelling impression of some coherent whole from the parts, like the variations of a Bach suite.

Résumé:
In April 2003 010 Publishers of Rotterdam had been active for twenty years. During those two decades they have published five hundred books on architecture and design. This specialization reflects the enthusiasm of 010's founders, Hans Oldewarris and Peter de Winter, trained as an architect and an urban designer respectively at Delft University of Technology. Besides over one hundred monographs by and about Dutch architects, with Rem Koolhaas's "S,M,L,XL" as a provisional peak, 010 have published books on more wide-ranging architecture, interior design, photography, industrial design, graphic design, and the visual arts. These aspects include a keen interest in the theory and history of architecture and design. The lion’s share of this book is taken up with a catalogue spanning the period 1983-2003. Exhaustively annotated and illustrated, it gives not just the technical details of each book such as size, format, and binding style but also the authors, editors, photographers, graphic designers and printers. A brief description of the contents rounds off each entry. Comprehensive indexes give insight into who contributed to which book and in what way. In their introductory essay Ed Taverne and Cor Wagenaar give a picture of the practice of architectural publishing in the Netherlands during those years.

Résumé:
n 1954, the French writer, politician, and publisher André Malraux (1901–1976) posed at home for a photographer from the magazine Paris Match, surrounded by pages from his forthcoming book Le musée imaginaire de la sculpture mondiale. The enchanting metaphor of the musée imaginaire (imaginary museum) was built upon that illustrated art book, and Malraux was one of its greatest champions. Drawing on a range of contemporary publications, he adopted images and responded to ideas. Indeed, Malraux’s book on the floor is a variation of photographer André Vigneau’s spectacular Encyclopédie photographique de l’art, published in five volumes from 1935 on—years before Malraux would enter this field. Both authors were engaged in juxtaposing artworks via photographs and publishing these photographs by the hundreds, but Malraux was the better sloganeer. Starting from a close examination of the photograph of Malraux in his salon, art historian Walter Grasskamp takes the reader back to the dawn of this genre of illustrated art book. He shows how it catalyzed the practice of comparing works of art on a global scale. He retraces the metaphor to earlier reproduction practices and highlights its ubiquity in contemporary art, ending with an homage to the other pioneer of the “museum without walls,” the unjustly forgotten Vigneau.

Résumé:
MoMA PS1 presents the fourth iteration of Greater New York. Recurring every five years, the exhibition has traditionally showcased the work of emerging artists living and working in the New York metropolitan area. Considering the "greater" aspect of its title in terms of both geography and time, Greater New York. begins roughly with the moment when MoMA PS1 was founded in 1976 as an alternative venue that took advantage of disused real estate, reaching back to artists who engaged the margins of the city. In conjunction with the exhibition, MoMA PS1 is publishing a series of readers that will be released throughout the run of the exhibition. These short volumes revisit older histories of New York while also inviting speculation about its future, highlighting certain works in the exhibition and engaging a range of subjects including disco, performance anxiety, real estate and newly unearthed historical documents. The series features contributions from Fia Backström, Mark Beasley, Gregg Bordowitz, Susan Cianciolo, Douglas Crimp, Catherine Damman, David Grubbs, Angie Keefer, Aidan Koch, Glenn Ligon, Gordon Matta-Clark, Claudia Rankine, Collier Schorr, and Sukhdev Sandhu, concluding with a round-table conversation with exhibition curators Peter Eleey, Douglas Crimp, Thomas J. Lax and Mia Locks. The series is edited by Jocelyn Miller, Curatorial Associate, MoMA PS1.
