Résumé:
Wolfgang Laib’s concentrated installations are touching in an immediate and fundamental way, perhaps because they also address various levels of early childhood consciousness. Beeswax tunnels are redolent with an overwhelming scent of sweet honey and pollen; powdery piles of pollen are such a luminous yellow that you want to put your hands in it and play. Visitors to(...)

Résumé:
Wolfgang Laib’s concentrated installations are touching in an immediate and fundamental way, perhaps because they also address various levels of early childhood consciousness. Beeswax tunnels are redolent with an overwhelming scent of sweet honey and pollen; powdery piles of pollen are such a luminous yellow that you want to put your hands in it and play. Visitors to the installations are "opened up" to the spiritual dimension, become aware of the energetic presence of the natural materials shown, and are prepared for a spiritual and intellectual encounter with their symbolic content. This retrospective monograph features all of the key categories of Laib’s oeuvre, establishing the unique position and great auratic power of works that consistently question crucial issues.

Résumé:
Famous for massive public art projects, including "Wrapped Coast, One Million Square Feet" in Australia and "Running Fence" in Northern California, Christo Javacheff and his wife Jeanne-Claude were used to dealing with intransigent bureaucracies. But they hadn't reckoned with New York City. The couple's 1979 project--temporarily placing thousands of saffron-colored banners across the walkways of 843-acre Central Park--did not receive the city's blessing until 2003. Published in advance of the 16-day installation in February 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates is a picture book that moves briskly from photographs of early presentations and hearings to numerous shots of workers assembling the steel, aluminum, vinyl and rip-stop nylon components of the piece.

Résumé:
This illustrated book explores for the first time the breadth and depth of the work created from 1992 – 2002 by the Swiss artist Mayo Bucher (b. Zurich 1963). Bucher’s significantly abstract, geometrically inflected yet painterly art functions on a refreshing variety of levels. It leads into a complex, and at the same time smooth world of structures, colours, forms and signs. It addresses painting's productive relationship with design, architecture and music – a link that is central to Mayo Bucher's art. In recent years, his resonant imagery has appeared on the covers of ECM Records. "Open Sign" makes clear and profound statements about our compulsion both to construct and question meaning: about human consciousness and its endless quest for clarity of expression and understanding - and about our saving need for mystery. With essays by Ruedi Baur, designer and Dr. Michael Tucker, Professor in the Faculty of Arts & Architecture, University of Brighton.
