Résumé:
Driven by the central question "What are we learning from artists today?" the second volume of ''A series of open questions'' is informed by themes found in the work of Trinh T. Minh-ha, such as cultural hybridization and fluidity of identity, digital and migratory aesthetics, memory and landscape, decentered realities, feminist approaches to storytelling, meditations on death and myth, post-coloniality and decolonization, and women's work as related to cultural politics. The contributions to ''Why are they so afraid of the lotus?'' embody Trinh's own weariness around categorization and investigate the ways production can come from and be based in positions of unknowing.

Résumé:
This is the first book in a new annual series published by CCA Wattis Institute (San Francisco). Each book in the series is driven by a central question: what are we learning from artists today? This volume is informed by themes related to the work of Dodie Bellamy and revolves around questions related to contemporary forms of feminism and sexualities, the rebirth of the author, and ways in which vulnerability, perversion, vulgarity, and self-exposure can be forms of empowerment. The texts cover a broad array of styles, including memoir, theoretical essay, art historical analysis, poetry, and fiction. The visual elements are equally diverse, ranging from photographs to collage to drawing.

The work documents the river, dams, reservoirs, and people interacting with the river along this route. The intent of this environmental photography project is to bring attention to the increasingly arid conditions of the Colorado River basin, but also prompts discussion and learning about not only the Colorado River watershed, but of water supply in general.

Résumé:
The contemporary workplace has derived from successive compression and decompression. First, there was the hierarchical Taylorist office. Then came the rational, well-lit and organised space with individual cubicles. A return to the open landscape office came later, with free layouts shrouded in vegetation – the forerunner of the dematerialisation of the workplace. Today, we are in a far more fluid state that envisages the specialisation of space and brand expression: diversity and identity. The workplace should not only encompass tasks like individual and group work, but also those involving learning and socialising.

Résumé:
''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' is a dialogue and collaboration between Dutch and Japanese (building) cultures, where differing perspectives enrich and inspire one another. By learning from each other’s traditions and views on old, new and change, the project seeks a new and guiding balance. It embraces the reuse and transformation of existing buildings, structures and materials, encouraging an exchange between generations of architects and builders, and between innovation and craftsmanship. At a time when the construction sector faces the ecological impact of its actions, ''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' offers a sustainable perspective, rooted in continuity and evolution within the built environment.

Résumé:
Inside The Rainbow reprints for the first time in English a unique compendium of Soviet picture books from the 1920 and 1930s. In the dark and dangerous world of revolutionary Petrograd, a group of Russian poets and artists came together to create a new kind of book for children. They dreamed of endless possibilities in a new world where children and grown-ups alike would be free from the bitterness of ignorance. For a time, when children's publications still escaped the scourge of state censorship, their books became a last haven for learning, poetic irony, burlesque and laughter. In this book 250 examples of illustration and design are complemented by some translations of poems and stories as well as texts from the victims, criminals and witnesses to the Russian revolution.
