Out of the introduction: "What you'll see in these pages to come will show you how some have creatively changed the throwaway cycle. Reusing is not only an environmental issue or prone only to physical objects. Ultimately, by not wasting raw materials you are also choosing to not waste somebody's labour and time. Before using anything new, we checked if there was already something available, be it a photo or a written text. You will recognize this in some cases, when seeing scanned pages with a little bit of extra "noise" intentionally carried over from their past lives. We are reusing ideas that are good and well worth spreading."

Résumé:
This catalogue takes the reader on a remarkable journey via the legends, themes and worlds that have shaped Canada’s cultural heritage. One hundred and fifty works in all media and created from time immemorial to present day are featured in full page colour plates and foldouts. This range of works documents and celebrates the magnetic north, inhabited landscapes, the dignity of labour, Canadians abroad, and the emergence of Inuit art. Central to the publication is a new approach to telling the history of Indigenous visual art with outstanding historical art objects by Indigenous artists, at times in dialogue with those by settler Canadians, while at others, reflecting a distinct Indigenous path.

The relation between formal and informal may be changing due to the introduction of new technologies and the way these are used. Informality can be interpreted as a positive quality hinting at individual freedom, or even be romanticised as a bottom-up, empowering force. But informality as a safety valve for a system unable to adjust to changing conditions smoothly and(...)

Résumé:
The relation between formal and informal may be changing due to the introduction of new technologies and the way these are used. Informality can be interpreted as a positive quality hinting at individual freedom, or even be romanticised as a bottom-up, empowering force. But informality as a safety valve for a system unable to adjust to changing conditions smoothly and quickly is another matter. Consider the mass migrations of people who must provide their own housing, or the vast numbers of unemployed who provide labour in a growing economy but are easily discarded later. With texts by Guus Beumer, René Boer, Keller Easterling, Jacqueline Hassink, and others.

Résumé:
Able to work anywhere we have a tortured relationship with the office today. Desperate to work again in physically shared spaces, we are also now questioning whether offices are needed at all. Offices themselves labour under intolerable forces too: 21st-century building regulations suggest redesigning them every seven-to-ten years, managerial strategies shift every five years, and employees cycle every two. As a result, offices are renewed with alarming frequency. With the future of our workspaces so uncertain, Back to the Office works overtime inside the revolutionary offices of the 20th century, and asks what endured from their architecture, their materials, and the work ideologies they embodied.

Résumé:
As a mytheme, the figure of the scapegoat carries the burden of the city and its sins. Walking in exile, the scapegoat was once freed from the constraints of civilization. Today, with no land left unmapped, and with processes of urbanization central to political economic struggles, Scapegoat is exiled within the reality of global capital. The journal examines the relationship between capitalism and the built environment, confronting the coercive and violent organization of space, the exploitation of labour and resources, and the unequal distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Throughout our investigation of design and its promises, we return to the politics of making as a politics to be constructed.

Résumé:
Joints of Eastern Europe represent a long-standing tradition of resourceful craftsmanship, deeply rooted in a region historically associated with manual labour. These joints symbolise the hands that have shaped much of Europe, embodying contextual resilience and an instinctive problem-solving approach that reflects the identity and empiricism of both the joints themselves and the workers who create them. Visually distinct, the joints serve as powerful markers of Eastern European culture, representing inventive solutions born from everyday necessity. This unique form of craftsmanship is characterised by spontaneous, often temporary solutions that, over time, evolve into enduring fixtures. With their rough elegance and structural creativity, these fixtures inspire architects and engineers alike, balancing beauty and functionality.

Résumé:
By bringing together the voices of a number of curators, scientists, scholars, designers, and artists, the XXII Triennale di Milano seeks to engage its visitors with questions of climate change, migration, artificial intelligence, politics, gender, labour, economics, social justice, and natural histories. This exhibition catalog highlights objects and concepts at all scales that reconsider humans' relationship with their environment, including research into both natural and social ecosystems. The aim is to trace design's ability to move us into a more constructive sense of indebtedness toward nature. This volume will appeal to the design community as well as a broader readership and scholars who study the sociological, economic, political, and personal ramifications of design as it relates to the environment.

Résumé:
Agnes Martin’s Night Sea (1963) is a large canvas of hand-drawn rectangular grids painted in luminous blue and gold. In this illustrated study, Suzanne Hudson presents the painting as the work of an artist, thinker, poet and writer, for whom self-presentation was a necessary part of making works public. With Night Sea, Hudson argues, Martin was moving from visible labour to lightness unburdened by evidence of process. She created a shimmering realisation of control and loss that stands alone within her suite of classic grid paintings as an exceptional achievement. This title is part of the One Work book series, which focuses on the artworks that have significantly shaped the way we understand art and its history.

Résumé:
Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs are by artist, theorist and filmmaker, Allan Sekula. Originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984, in these essays and images Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labour and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013, and from that insider's position he critiqued photography and the circumstances of its production and consumption, exposing what the medium failed to represent – women, labourers, minorities and the institutional structures that reinforce cultural biases.

Résumé:
For decades, David Harvey has been teaching Marx's work, particularly Capital, to great acclaim. He has analysed chapter by chapter - sometimes line-by-line - Marx's three volumes and the Grundrisse. This new book opens up the mental universe of that work for a general reader. In ''The Story of Capital'', Harvey takes a synoptic approach to the conceptual architecture as a whole and guides us through the key moments, from labour and technology to the state and geopolitics, via the profit rate, social reproduction, the relationship to nature, fictitious capital and the return of the rentiers. In doing so, Harvey has produced a work which will become a key reference for all those trying to grasp the nature of contemporary capitalism.
