Alighiero E Boetti
A study of Boetti's 1988 work Map, a tapestry map of the pre-postcommunist world made of brightly colored, painstakingly woven national flags; illustrated with many color images. In 1968, the Italian artist Alighiero Boetti renamed himself Alighiero e ("and") Boetti, effectively expressing the duality of his personality and his work--and, by extension, the dichotomies of society and culture and art and life. Boetti was a central figure in the arte povera movement, a group of Italian artists in the late 1960s who expressly distanced themselves from commercialization and the slickness of Pop Art. These artists worked with a wide range of nonconventional materials--from wool and vegetables to s...

Tony Cragg
Tony Cragg represented Britain at the 1988 Venice Biennale and took the next year's Turner Prize. He has had major solo shows at the Tate, Corcoran and Centre Georges Pompidou. This monograph on a series of site-specific commissions considers the notions of public collections versus private, and the relationship between artist and patron.
Robert Barry
Since 1967 the American conceptualist Robert Barry has taken his work to the limits of immateriality and invisibility, creating installations with wire and nylon thread, performing actions with inert gasses and radioactive materials and going on to work with acoustic frequencies, sounds and language. This volume documents a recent site-specific work.
Rethinking the Power of Maps
A contemporary follow-up to the groundbreaking Power of Maps, this book takes a fresh look at what maps do, whose interests they serve, and how they can be used in surprising, creative, and radical ways. Denis Wood describes how cartography facilitated the rise of the modern state and how maps continue to embody and project the interests of their creators. He demystifies the hidden assumptions of map making and explores the promises and limitations of diverse counter-mapping practices today. Thought-provoking illustrations include U.S. Geological Survey maps; electoral and transportation maps; and numerous examples of critical cartography, participatory GIS, and map art. The book will be important reading for geographers and others interested in maps and their political uses. It will also serve as a supplemental text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses such as Cartography, GIS, Geographic Thought, and History of Geography.
Engaging with Fashion
This book is a modern exploration of how we engage with fashion today. Through a series of articles this book shows the ‘ways’ through which we can approach fashion. The articles are organized around the following six sections: marketing, consuming, educating, communicating, embodying and positioning - each with a mix of research approaches and strategies. From sustainability and consumerism to street-style and street-food. From how fashion is taught across the globe to how fashion is communicated through photography and the media. We invite the readers to be curators themselves, and to create their own ‘augmented knowledge’ of fashion, by reading the varied themes in this book. Contributors are Claire Allen, Deidra Arrington, Naomi Braithwaite, Jill Carey, Federica Carlotto, Karen Dennis, Doris Domoszlai, Linsday E. Feeny, Nádia Fernandes, Jacque Lynn Foltyn, Alessia Grassi, Chris Jones, Lan Lan, Peng Liu, Mario Matos Ribeiro, Natalie C. McCreesh, Alex McIntosh, Alice Morin, Nolly Moyssi, Maria Patsalosavvi, Laura Petican, Jennifer Richards, Susanne Schulz, Ines Simoes, Helen Storey, Steve Swindells, Stephen Wigley, Gaye Wilson and Cecilia Winterhalter.
Daniel Roth
Daniel Roth (b. 1969) has recently enjoyed critical acclaim for installations documenting the discovery of fantastic events or phenomena. His observations in the role of detective and archaeologist connect seemingly unrelated details, revealing (and creating) hidden relationships. This monograph covering a commission from BSI (Banca della Svizzera Italiana) includes preparatory material, documentation and essays.
Intending Probability
-Part of an ongoing series collecting the work of young artists on residency in Berlin, from a diverse range of countries from Latin America to the Middle East -Salwa Aleryani's sculptures and installations are evocative of art povera and American minimal art, but defy absolute categorization -The down-to-earth yet evocative work of an up-and-coming abstract sculptor The sculptures and installations by Salwa Aleryani, born 1982 in Yemen, prompt a vast range of associations in the viewer. Her works are evocative of arte povera, then again of American minimal art, but defy any categorization. The artist places strong emphasis on the material that is of fundamental importance to her. In general...
