Unfolding


A complete retrospective of the paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian, documenting a decade of unrivalled and unexpected creativity. Paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian has always recognized the material’s potential for experimentation. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated, two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture in beautiful and unexpected ways. ‘My process is extremely varied from piece to piece. Often I start without a clear goal in mind, working within a series of limitations. For example on one piece I’ll only use curved folds, or make my lines this length or that angle, etc. Other times I begin with an idea for movement and try to achieve that shape or form somehow.’ Unfolding is Shlian’s first comprehensive monograph. A journey into the new possibilities of folding technology, the intricate complexities of Islamic patterns, and the sheer potential offered by a sheet of white paper, it celebrates a humble material, on the edge of its existence, elevated to timeless form and possibility.

Art & Fear


Art & Fear is about the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. Drawing on the authors' own experiences as two working artists, the book delves into the internal and external challenges to making art in the real world, and shows how they can be overcome every day. First published in 1994, Art & Fear quickly became an underground classic, and word-of-mouth has placed it among the best-selling books on artmaking and creativity. Written by artists for artists, it offers generous and wise insight into what it feels like to sit down at your easel or keyboard, in your studio or performance space, trying to do the work you need to do. Every artist, whether a beginner or a prizewinner, a student or a teacher, faces the same fears - and this book illuminates the way through them.

Warehouse Home


A global overview of the most contemporary and ingenious - and comfortable - former light-industrial spaces transformed into stylish modern residences. The love of warehouse buildings - often in attractive waterside locations - has become a global phenomenon, from London to New York, from Sydney to Florence. Drawing on her own experience of living in a Grade II listed mill, Sophie Bush has amassed a wealth of knowledge, contacts and understanding about which ingredients make a building fit for contemporary habitation. Warehouse Home is the ultimate resource for everything from how best to preserve and complement original architectural features to style ideas for adapting vintage and reclaimed pieces for modern living. The book has a practical structure, broken down into two key sections. 'Architectural Features' looks at how to make the most of a space while retaining its features, such as exposed brickwork, concrete floors and mezzanines. It also draws on examples of former industrial buildings across the world that have been renovated to create distinctive homes and workspaces, each selected for the originality or intelligence of its design. 'Decorative Details' provides tips on how to recreate the warehouse aesthetic in any home, from repurposing pallets and breeze blocks as furniture to transforming exhaust cones into unique lighting fixtures. A reference section includes ideas on where to source everything from furniture to finishes.

Sarah Sze, Paintings


A beautifully produced, comprehensive examination of acclaimed American artist Sarah Sze's painting practice Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze has developed a signature visual language that challenges the static nature of art with a dynamic body of work spanning sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, video and installation. In recent years, Sze has returned to painting, the medium in which she was first trained. Comprising constellations of painted and collaged elements, her expansive abstract landscapes explore a visual world that is constantly evolving, degrading, and generating new ways of seeing. This book, created in close collaboration with Sze, is the first monograph devoted to her painting practice.

Overal magazín


Tématem publikace je nahlédnutí do uvažování o módě v širším sociokulturním kontextu. Reflektuje aspekty a tendence současného nezávislého oděvního designu a věnuje se především teoretickým souvislostem. Pozornost je upřena na autory a jejich díla, u kterých oděv přesahuje svůj užitný rámec, stává se aktivismem, propojuje se s volným uměním, či vstupuje jako narativ do kulturně-sociologického kontextu společnosti. Jde o antologii zahraničních textů a dalších teoretických článků doplněných o rozhovory s autory, tvůrci, teoretiky i odborníky mimo umělecké obory (sociology). V obrazové části jsou zastoupeny projekty a díla zahraničních autorů a fotografie Veroniky Čechmánkové a Terezy Havlínkové. Grafika Jakub Samek.

Vokno 1-5 (6)


Knižní vydání prvních pěti čísel legendárního undergroundového časopisu Vokno, které vyšly mezi lety 1979-1981. Kompletní revidované texty doplňují úvodní komentáře, závěrečná studie a jmenný rejstřík, ale také část faksimilí zabaveného čísla šestého. Původní obsah a řazení příspěvků včetně ilustrací jsou zachovány. Jde o první ze tří připravovaných svazků, v nichž postupně vyjde všech patnáct samizdatových čísel Vokna. Jestliže je pro všechny nezávislé kultury typická určitá nedůvěra, s níž dávají přednost vyjádření skrze "self-management“, pro časopis Vokno to platí dvojnásobně. Nejen proto, že se v období totality stal centrem československé nezávislé kultury a tudíž i synonymem politického odporu, ale také proto, že nemohl jinak, než se zaměřit na svou vlastní soběstačnost a autodidaktický přístup. Časopis Vokno vystavěl hraniční území mezi totalitní mocí a svobodnou kreativitou: Stal se symbolem hledání nezávislého vyjádření a v době marxistického mediálního blafování vyvinul sobě vlastní kreativní autonomii. Vokno vytvořilo rovněž intelektuální zázemí pro všechny jedince, kteří byli v antagonistickém vztahu s normalizační politikou. Historický přínos časopisu je tedy právě v tom, že se v období naprostého ukřižování svobodné kreativity dokázal vzepřít omezenému pokrytectví a poskytl prostor pro informace, jež jinde nebylo možné publikovat ani číst. Neodmyslitelně se tak řadí mezi ty zdroje nezávislé kultury, které se staly jednak „generátorem“ nových myšlenek a na straně druhé i jejím efektem. Knižním komentovaným vydáním prvních pěti čísel časopisu, na něž budou navazovat i další dva svazky, si můžeme připomenout strategie přežití z této doby, zároveň však získáme možnost, jak historicky nahlížet na regionální i světové hudební trendy, výtvarné umění, nebo na postoje některých intelektuálů.

Small Houses


A Small House is a tribute to the endless artistic inventiveness of architects and ingenuity of perception of the familiar and known concepts. It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future.Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses. The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters. Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 57 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka's Love2 House, Aranza de Arino's Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre, among others. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.

Bohdan Hostiňák: Kresby


Bohdan Hostiňák je výraznou maliarskou osobnosťou strednej generácie na Slovensku. Je pre neho typické zanietenie pre maľbu a kresbu, ktoré kontinuálne spracováva do tematických celkov. Žije a tvorí v Bratislave. Album autorského výberu kresieb Bohdana Hostiňáka (nar. 1968) z rokov 1991 ? 2020 je nielen pozoruhodným vydavateľským počinom, ale aj potrebným upozornením na stav a akosť nášho čítania dejín moderného a postmoderného umenia. Chvála vydania albumu Hostiňákových kresieb je chválou tvorby umelca, pre ktorého zobrazovanie skutočnosti je priznane zviazane so symbolikou povedzme vnútorných modelov tvorcu. Vnútorných modelov ako nositeľov výrazového gesta. A to sa zrejme nezaobíde ani bez chvály kresliarskej i maliarskej kultúry Bohdana Hostiňáka.

Colour Clash


Colour is one of the essential elements of many branding designs. It can help give an identity personality and warmth, express emotion, communicate messages in an unconscious and subtle way and it can keep or navigate the viewer’s interest, drawing the eye and making elements stand out. This book explores colour palettes in graphic design that surprise, engage, challenge and grab our attention - the combinations that maybe shouldn’t work but just do. These are palettes that break the established rules and laws we have been taught about colour theory and remind us that colour can be fun as well as meaningful.

The Cyclades


The first comprehensive illustrated book on the Cyclades archipelago, which also includes the well-known islands of Santorini, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos. The islands are currently among the trendiest travel destinations in the world. There is no Hollywood or Instagram star who has not been photographed in front of the white cities of the Greek islands. This illustrated book attempts to capture the islands' attitude to life in an undisguised way. In doing so, the volume does not aim at the big tourist hotspots and Instagram shots that can be seen everywhere else, but would like to capture the Greek island world as a whole - with all its discrepancies. Lonely bays and half-ruined towns stand next to the glossy world of the rich and famous who spend the summer on the islands. Highlife in summer next to almost deserted streets in winter. Greek tradition next to modern mass tourism. It is precisely these discrepancies that make the volume so distinctive. In addition, each individual island has its own exciting peculiarities that are worth discovering. The volume also portrays in pictures and text local Greeks who pursue an exciting profession: The last fishermen of the island, the priest of a mountain church on Naxos, the last local beekeeper, etc. Rudi Sebastian has spent many weeks on the islands over several years in all seasons and has followed the soul of the country and its people. He was at least once on every single island of the region, so he attaches importance to completeness. The result is a probably unique collection of images that reflects the island life in all its facets. Text in English and German.
