Résumé:
Ninety years after the Bauhaus first opened its doors in Dessau, ''Big Plans! Modern Figures, Visionaries, and Inventors'' examines for the first time the role of the Bauhaus in the early modernist vision of utopia. Not just an experimental forum for the avant-garde, the Bauhaus, once it moved to Dessau, became part of an industrial region that had been a hotbed of idealized planning for the future of humanity since the end of the First World War. This visionary futurist age of Saxony-Anhalt, reflected in its local architecture, industrial production, education and advertising, continued until the rise of the Nazi party in the 1930s.

Résumé:
With this latest book Absalon Kirkeby presents a range of image types as seen through the extended eye, accessing a state of intimate reality riddled with meaning. X-rays, objects turned into patterns, machines, traces and signs, luminous red, yellow and blue, doors and urban sites all create a sense and narrative of a place that elucidates something revelatory. Kirkeby employs digitally manipulated photography to engage the quotidian with a surreal and dreamlike gaze, evoking artificial experiences of physical gestures and tactility through means of mediation and abstraction. The work highlights themes on the opacity and complex experience of life today, offering subtle comments on contemporary society.

Résumé:
Joanne Schwartz and Matt Beam have discovered numbers in many different forms all over the city. They are on houses and apartment buildings, on store windows and doors, on trucks and garbage bins, on sidewalks and parking spots. They are printed, spray-painted, molded in plastic, chiseled in stone, stamped on vinyl, even torched into metal. We see these numbers, often unconsciously, every day, but the wonderful photographs in this book prompt us to look at them more closely, becoming aware and alive to the art, serendipity and variety that surround us. This book is for anyone who enjoys engaging visually with the city.
