Always Starts with an Encounter

Always Starts with an Encounter

An encounter across time and space between Wols, a pioneering artist of the early twentieth century, and Eileen Quinlan, a contempory American artist. Wols (1913–1951) was celebrated posthumously as one of the pioneering artists of the Art Informel movement. His distinctive early photographic work of the 1930s is, however, very little known. In an unusual connection across time and space his work is discussed in relation to that of contemporary American artist Eileen Quinlan (b. 1972). This book, a companion to the exhibition Always Starts with an Encounter: Wols–Eileen Quinlan, curated by Helena Papadopoulos and organized by Radio Athènes at the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens, in 2016,...

WILLIAM ADDISON DWIGGINS (1880-1956) was the most influential graphic designer of the early twentieth century. A master calligrapher and lettering artist, he was also one of the best type designers and typographers of his generation, a prolific and influential book designer and illustrator, an accomplished private press printer, a pioneer of advertising and editorial design, a noted author of both fiction and nonfiction, and a marionettist whose contributions to that field are still revered today.This groundbreaking monograph provides the first full account of Dwiggins's remarkably creative spirit, invention, and wit. Over 1,200 illustrations -- all photographed with raking light and printed using stochastic screening for pop-off-the-page immediacy -- provide a vivid overview of his career, revealing Dwiggins's phenomenal range and originality.

Explores how contemporary artists use gifts, barter, and other forms of nonmonetary exchange as a means and medium of artistic production. This revised edition of What We Want Is Free examines a twenty-year history of artistic productions that both model and occupy the various forms of exchange within contemporary society. From shops, gifts, and dinner parties to contract labor and petty theft, contemporary artists have used a variety of methods that both connect participants to tangible goods and services and, at the same time, offer critiques of and alternatives to global capitalism and other forms of social interaction. Examples of these various projects include the creation of free commu...

  • Language: en

The World of Apartamento

Apartamento is widely recognized as today's most influential interiors magazine. International, well-designed, and simply written since 2008, it is an indispensable resource for individuals who are passionate about the way they live. Apartamento breaks the traditional magazine boundaries that separate home design from homeowner, and offers readers a glimpse inside the lived-in, often cluttered homes of celebrities and industry legends such as REM frontman Michael Stipe and indie screen queen Chlo Sevigny. The World of Apartamento is a celebration of the magazine's 10th anniversary and features the best and most inspirational interiors from the publication's pages. Like the magazine itself, the book is a carefully developed editorial mix--high-quality writing and beautiful photography--that communicates genuine stories and intimate moments. With more than 300 photographs and an eclectic mix of subjects like Fran ois Halard, Yorgos Lanthimos, Ezra Koenig, Paz de la Huerta, and more, the book is an inspiring look at individual design choices.
