Résumé:
'Toilet Paper' is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Since the first issue, in 2010, 'Toilet Paper' has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

Résumé:
There may be no more conspicuous sign of luxury (some might say decadence) than an over-the-top design of that most utilitarian of spaces, the lavatory. Restaurants, hotels, clubs, and similar clients have increasingly seen the restroom as a manifestation of corporate culture and an expression of their attitude toward customers or employers, as well as an easy buzz(...)

Résumé:
There may be no more conspicuous sign of luxury (some might say decadence) than an over-the-top design of that most utilitarian of spaces, the lavatory. Restaurants, hotels, clubs, and similar clients have increasingly seen the restroom as a manifestation of corporate culture and an expression of their attitude toward customers or employers, as well as an easy buzz generator. "Flush!" is a book for anyone with more than a mere passing interest in concepts for comfort when nature calls, and includes over 40 examples of innovative design for washrooms and a survey of the latest trends in restroom design. An introduction with examples from history - including film, art, and literature - provides an entertaining introduction to the culture of the lavatory.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage illustré dans l'univers des commodités réunit le sordide et l'engouement, la tradition et l'innovation, des toilettes sèches et des WC connectés à internet, Victor Hugo, Jean-Claude Decaux et Bill Gates. Moqué ou ignoré, le sujet des petits coins condense une partie des grands problèmes du monde. L'insuffisance des installations fait obstacle à l'égalité et à la dignité des personnes mobiles, des femmes, des sans-abri, des habitants des bidonvilles. Préoccupation de santé et de sécurité pour les centaines de millions d'individus toujours contraints à la défécation à ciel ouvert, les toilettes posent aussi des questions écologiques, au regard notamment de leur consommation en eau.

Résumé:
Delightfully child-like in some ways, perversely obsessive in others, this richly illustrated book is a fascinating journey in miniature through the changing trends in Scandinavian interior design in the second half of the 20th century. An astonishing amalgam of the Swedish folk art of miniature-making (called folkhem) with a vogue for minuscule Modernism. These doll's houses are complete from Arne Jacobsen chairs to wallpaper to period toilets and kitchens. Gorgeous full-bleed photos put you right into the center of these remarkable, mint-condition dwellings, built by three important Swedish toy makers, BRIO, Lundby and Micki Gemla.

Résumé:
For fifteen years, three architects—James Cathcart, Frank Fantauzzi, and Terence van Elslander—from three different cities have held an ongoing collaboration, creating installations and other works of innovation and art about the act of building. Pamphlet Architecture 25: Gravity catalogs a cross section of their many works, from the portable toilets installed in the facade of New York's StoreFront for Art and Architecture to "Big Orbits," a giant solid and a giant void constructed from 4600 shipping palettes. Although strongly conceptual, their work reminds us that a primary function of architecture is to engage the public.
