Résumé:
France experienced a golden age of photobook production from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Avant-garde experiments in photography, text, design, and printing, within the context of a growing modernist publishing scene, contributed to an outpouring of brilliantly designed books. Making Strange offers a detailed examination of photobook innovation in France, exploring seminal publications by Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Pierre Jahan, William Klein, and Germaine Krull. Kim Sichel argues that these books both held a mirror to their time and created an unprecedented modernist visual language. Sichel provides an engaging analysis through the lens of materiality, emphasizing the photobook as an object with which the viewer interacts haptically as well as visually. Rich in historical context and beautifully illustrated, 'Making Strange' reasserts the role of French photobooks in the history of modern art.

Résumé:
The publication Arts for Living takes a close look at the Abrons Arts Center, a community-art facility on the Lower East Side of New York, as a case study for architecture designed to address issues of public space and community life. The Center was built during the 1970's fiscal crisis and designed by Prentice, Chan and Ohlhausen as a cultural institution with new educational facilities intended to enable, foster, and serve the everyday activities of the local low-income population. The notions of public architecture and architecture education will be framed through three topics: the architecture and urban space of the Abrons Arts Center itself; the programming and activities at the Abrons Arts Center within the context of architectural education; and a larger survey of the environment of the Lower East Side, in terms of its cultural, social, and political context.

Mair documents 03 Architects' work with great sensitivity for their ideas, but also for the context which the buildings reflect and enable, and thereby reaches beyond the classic architectural documentation.
