Zak Kyes Working With--
Swiss American critical graphic designer Zak Kyes is known for his thoughtful approach to design, especially with regard to collaboration. While billed as documenting Kyes first solo exhibition, this catalog from the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig is also a representation of the relationships formed by Kyes as he collaborates with his clients and partners, who include artists, architects, writers, curators, graphic designers and editors. Starting with curator Barbara Steiner, the small format publication brings together a range of works by Kyes that have been expanded and enlivened by a host of collaborators, hence the book s subtitle, Working With.mApart from studio projects, Kyes critical practice encompasses publishing, curating and creating site specific projects for and with art institutions. His work engages with publications as sites for debate and exchange rather than documentation. He currently teaches in the MA program at ECAL (L Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne) and the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London, where, since 2006, he has also been Art Director.

Iaspis forum on design and critical practice
"The Iaspis forum on design and critical practice has comprised an exhibition, an international seminar and now a publication on investigative, speculative and critically oriented design.

It also contains a number of interviews and other texts linked to these conversations, and a broader discussion about design and transboundary practice."--Book jacket.

Color Library
"A collectible volume for graphic designers and creative entrepreneurs, this book is dedicated to "Color Library," one of the most discussed projects in the field of graphic design of the last few years. An investigation into color reproduction and printing, "Color Library" is a tool for artists, designers, photographers, and printers. It aims to widen the possibilities of color printing, and reflects on our contemporary perception of color as it is shaped by the recent developments in print production. Primarily conceived as a digital platform, "Color Library" offers a variety of colorimetric profiles automatically applicable to images, based on color combinations generated according to their perceptual, technical, and conceptual relevance. It not only offers an alternative to standard color printing, but also affirms a distinctive vision of how to print colors and process them" (Verlagshomepage).
