Notre monde change, mais pas dans la bonne direction. Le fossé ne cesse de s'élargir entre riches et pauvres, entre puissants et précaires.

Résumé:
Notre monde change, mais pas dans la bonne direction. Le fossé ne cesse de s'élargir entre riches et pauvres, entre puissants et précaires. Le climat et la nature se dérèglent chaque année davantage sous l'avalanche des pollutions. Avec la politique de la peur et les attentats terroristes, les démagogues désignent de faux coupables (les étrangers, les musulmans...) et gagnent même des élections. Mais se lamenter ne sert à rien. Ce dont nous avons besoin, c'est, tout d'abord, d'une vision nouvelle pour un avenir désirable. Un mouvement citoyen et un institut de recherche en design, Attac et Civic city, ont uni leurs forces pour raconter ce vieux monde qui va si mal et dessiner les propositions innovantes qui pourraient nous en sortir. Des propositions déjà portées par des milliers d'initiatives citoyennes dans le monde entier. Alors on y va ?

Résumé:
The exhibition Abbildungen at Kunsthalle Bielefeld, which was on display in spring 2016, is the underpinning for the conception of this publication, which turns its gaze on the media framing of Konstantin Grcic’s design objects. First researched in early magazines, company prospectuses, flyers and other print media, the selected pieces are presented as reproductions of reproductions. Abbildungen/Figures is neither a survey nor a retrospective, but an overview of Grcic’s work. The publication is accompanied by an in-depth analysis by Robin Schuldenfrei, Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, who, in presenting Konstantin Grcic’s oeuvre to the German-speaking world, examines it from a historical perspective for the first time.

Résumé:
In 2019 the Bauhaus will celebrate its hundredth anniversary! Preparations for the centenary have raised a host of questions: To what extent is the Bauhaus tied to a place, and how can its essence be conveyed in a museum? How can the tension between school and museum — in particular the Bauhaus and its everyday presence — be given a productive role in fashioning new models of cultural education? What stimuli can the Bauhaus provide for a critical practice in today’s globalized world? In the process of compiling Bauhaus News, international Bauhaus experts, curators, historians, philosophers, artists, architects, educators, and teachers were asked to consider the Bauhaus from a twenty-first-century perspective. The book presents contrasting contemporary and historical statements and stories about the Bauhaus world heritage.

Résumé:
Stretching the boundaries of typographic expression, Type Tells Tales is a sensational showcase of type that is integral to the message it conveys, with the capacity to emote, engage, and guide the reader from one thought to the next. Navigating the far reaches of graphic design, Steven Heller and Gail Anderson reveal how type can render a particular voice or multiple conversations, how letters in various shapes and sizes can guide the eye through dense information, and how type can become both content and illustration, as letters take the form of people, animals, cars, or planes. The book’s 332 illustrations – including 290 in color – feature historical examples by F. T. Marinetti, Bruno Munari, and Francis Picabia, among others, as well as by contemporary designers such as Richard Eckersley, John Hendrix, Maira Kalman, and Corita Kent.

Résumé:
From 1941 to 1964, House Beautiful magazine’s crusading editor-in-chief Elizabeth Gordon introduced and promoted her vision of 'good design' and 'better living' to an extensive middle-class American readership. Her innovative magazine-sponsored initiatives, including House Beautiful’s Pace Setter House Program and the Climate Control Project, popularized a 'livable' and decidedly American version of postwar modern architecture. Gordon’s devotion to what she called the American Style attracted the attention of Frank Lloyd Wright, who became her ally and collaborator. Gordon’s editorial programs reshaped ideas about American living and, by extension, what consumers bought, what designers made, and what manufacturers brought to market. This incisive assessment of Gordon’s influence as an editor, critic, and arbiter of domestic taste reflects more broadly on the cultures of consumption and identity in postwar America. Nearly 200 images are featured, including work by Ezra Stoller, Maynard Parker, and Julius Shulman. This book champions an often-neglected source - the consumer magazine - as a key tool for deepening our understanding of mid-century architecture and design.
