How to finish a work, how to conclude a relationship, how to die – these are interrelated questions that challenge aesthetics, morality and existence. Cabinet 68, with a special section on \"The End,\" includes contributions from thinkers and writers Aaron Schuster, Jeff Dolven and Shireen Brooke.Aaron Schuster talks on the theoretical framework of the romantic breakup; Jeff Dolven on objects such as pencils or filterless cigarettes that serve as their own handles and can therefore not be used to the very end; and Shireen Brooke on Balzac’s “The Unknown Masterpiece” and the philosophy of the unfinishable. Elsewhere in the issue: Femke Herregraven on how the minute lags produced by the material infrastructure of the internet is exploited in high-frequency trading; Sasha Archibald on the influence of the Technicolor corporation’s Color Advisory Service on the history of cinema; and Benjamin Breen on British mathematician and Futurian Richard Medhurst and his role in debunking the work of the Society for Psychical Research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781932698831.

These images offer a personal diary of his family and friends, trees and graffiti, landscapes and urban scenes, allusions to contemporary American life (the Obama and Trump eras) and his own visual obsessions. This massive publication features an introduction by Marcopoulos as well as an essay by art critic and curator Bob Nickas.His self-taught style brings his subjects in close and captures, without sentimentality or voyeurism, the intimate essence of their daily lives and the spontaneity of his interactions with cultural luminaries and his artistic milieu. Populated with idiosyncratic characters, each of Marcopoulos’ photographs is particular to a unique time and place, yet his images reach us through their expression of familiar themes. Like all great photographers, Marcopoulos has the ability to distill a riveting and timeless image from the flux of activity that surrounds us. This massive publication features an introduction by Marcopoulos as well as an essay by art critic and curator Bob Nickas. In his text, Nickas states: “Picture-making for him must be a necessity, an aspect of being alive, of holding on to people and places. This, of course, is an impossibility, though surely one of the key factors in its pursuit ... Ari Marcopoulos may only appear in a few of these pictures, but of course he is in every one of them.”Ari Marcopoulos (born 1957) came to New York from Amsterdam in 1979 and quickly became part of the downtown art scene that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe. His previous books include Transitions and Exits (2000), Ad Rock (2007) and The Round Up (2014).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783037645994.

In assemblages of found materials and sound-producing devices, he explores the fluctuation of noise as a medium for information. The multitudes of the smallest details of Vorisek’s practice provide, as the complexities of the room-size installation do, an intricate, layered, endlessly unfolding potential for encounter and revelation. The essays in the artist's first-ever monograph, alongside image portfolios of the exhibitions they explore and an appendix that features photos and documentation of Vorisek’s performances, recordings and ephemera, grant us unprecedented access to the private fictions that the work reveals.Edited by Alison Coplan.

As such, it has undergone a specific process of historic formation: density and compactness of urban form, evolution by extension rather than by reform, etc. A history of urban planning necessarily includes a summary of the territorial and urban experience, and pays particular attention to the physical dimensions of the city that condition its cultural and economic development. This book centres on the construction of Barcelona, taking as its basis the most important planning operations and city projects, and drawing on various sources for the different phases. Its urban development was very varied, even without taking into account the interventions of royalty or aristocrats that produced large avenues and parks. The local scale of many of the projects contrasts with the cosmopolitan aspirations that have made some of these interventions so innovative these might include some of the major projects carried out for special events, such as the events in 1888 (World Exhibition), 1929 (Electrical Industries Exhibition) and 1992 (Olympic Games). Now, in the 21st century, new prospects are opening up thanks to the recent European institutional framework, particularly changes in the economic system to a post-industrial phase, during which the various means of communication are coming to the fore, It is difficult to gauge the spatial repercussions, but the urban planning history of Barcelona shows how it has already overcome major contradictions in recent centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781939621535.

For more than a century, Inverness has been where many Berkeley families vacationed for the summer. Its residential architecture – rustic, simple wood-clad houses set in a hillside landscape – echoed Berkeley’s. These summer families shaped Inverness and its surroundings.The story of how Berkeley families shaped Inverness and its surroundings runs counter to the prevailing narrative about California coastal living. Inverness avoids the California feeling of restless change. It remains purposefully underdeveloped at a time when stretches of California’s coastline are overdeveloped. Its houses generally present as a unified whole, not a bunch of expressions of conflicting individual tastes, as we often see today in California when affluence meets coastal landscapes. Inverness’s simple rustic cottages, and its siting along a calm, unspoiled bay, share more in common with Martha’s Vineyardon Cape Cod than with any Southern California beach community running from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Inverness is a frosted window through which to glimpse Berkeley’s Arts and Crafts past.More generally, it provides a backwards view into what Lewis Mumford termed the “usable past.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781961856714.

Among the planned initiatives are the construction of private residences, a library and a youth hostel, the Temple of Thought, and the Ispaces themselves. These Ispaces are sculptures made from local larch wood, distributed throughout the forests surrounding Rossa, and can be visited along an immersive nature trail.The eight structures are inspired by geometric shapes – sphere, cube, pyramid, and hourglass – sometimes combined to create more complex compositions. The Ispaces explore and apply the principles of spatial psychology, with the goal of evoking specific emotions and sensations. While common elements may be identified in the exploration experience, the project takes into account all psychological, behavioural, and social aspects.Ispaces also embody the philosophy of the studio behind the initiative: the awareness that space exerts a profound impact on us and the ability to integrate principles of psychology and neuroarchitecture into present and future projects. It is not merely about constructing spaces but about creating places that enhance the potential of architecture, transforming design into fuel for a meaningful experience that puts humanity at its core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781966515128.

Rurality may become the place that answers to the Anthropocene and its crises of pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, wars and rising inequalities. The publication combines conceptual and practical explorations, from the outside-in (urban viewpoints) and inside-out (departing from an unknown rurality).Existing as it does on the brink of being overrun, urbanised or abandoned, rurality is contested. Even in the field of academia, it is often questioned or considered a minor subordinate appendix to urbanity.Since the ancient Greeks, conceptions of the rural have praised it as an idyllic and tranquil place where humans were closer to nature. Nowadays however, notions of the countryside are more complex, it is also a place in constant flux, a place defined and controlled by the urban. Can rurality continue to depend on the urban? Or will future scenarios recognise it for its potential to live truly ‘closer to nature’ and as the place to be?

Ames’ White Compositions – a series of 11 monochromatic relief wall sculptures – originate from and elaborate on the architect’s painting practice, closely attending to proportion, layout, recurring forms, and motifs found within both his artistic and built works. The White Compositions are symbolically charged with highly specific references that speak to Ames’s work and life as an architect in Georgia preoccupied with modernism, art and basketball, among other cultural and literary meanings. Ames playfully collages architectural elements, such as facades organised by grids, with everyday (yet highly specific) objects—like a Morandi-esque vase, a Corbusian pair of glasses, a can of coke, an electric guitar, or a basketball hoop. The contrast between the (supposedly) rational, objective, and universalising characteristics of modernism in confrontation with the particular, the idiosyncratic, and the autobiographical quotidian communicates a uniquely Ames-ian sensibility that provides a distinctive and refreshing take on the 20th-century architectural movement.His paintings – as described by Courtney Coffman in her previous review of Ames’s solo exhibition at a83 gallery in New York – “oscillate somewhere between the formality of a still life, the dynamism of sculptural relief, and the juxtaposed delight of collage.” A natural evolution in Ames’s practice, the 11 wall sculptures are accompanied by documents that provide insight into the precise and accomplished nature of Ames’ design process: from buildings to art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781966515173.

Its goal? To clothe all animals higher than 4 inches and longer than 6 inches. Its leader? G. Clifford Prout, a bespectacled fuddy duddy with an inheritance to burn through and an even better catch-phrase: “Decency Today Means Morality Tomorrow.” A pioneering prank that lasted way longer than anyone would have expected, SINA was the comedic pipe dream of Alan and Jeanne Abel, a pair of anarchic lovebirds who perpetrated dozens of ambitious hoaxes and hysterical deceptions for well over 50 years. They were joined in this confounding crusade by their friend, Buck Henry, who served as the organisation's honourable spokesman in the years before he became an acclaimed actor and screenwriter ('The Graduate', 'To Die For'). Together, they put pants on kangaroos, picketed the White House and pulled the wool over the eyes of mystified people everywhere.'Inside SINA' tells the whole crazy story through Alan Abel’s words and an eye-popping array of original documents, news reports, correspondence and photos.

This is the first comprehensive monograph to capture the breadth of her studio practice, richly illustrated and featuring new scholarship by art historians Megan R. Luke, Kate Nesin, Taylor Walsh and Jeffrey Weiss, and an original text on Shirreff’s experiments with cyanotype by author Rivka Galchen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781941366875. Gregory R.

Richly illustrated, 'Recursive Apologies' presents these sculptures alongside the sources that inspired them.Sporting a recursive design that mirrors the very concepts it explores, the volume offers both a visual archive and a reflection on our ongoing relationship with thinking machines. It also features essays by artists and scholars Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, Jena Osman and Johanna Drucker that evince how Zweig's witty contraptions were an early premonition of our current technological reality: an atmosphere of disinformation, fake news and digital hallucinations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781941753934.

'Bar Nicanor' collects all of the reborn Pansaers’ work, including the “Lent Meditations” and 'Apology for Laziness'.It also includes even more radical books published under the banner of Dada, such at the titular 'Bar Nicanor'; and the posthumous 'I Blennorrhage' and 'Programmatic Fermata for Young Orangutan'. Also included are the essays he published in various journals, including “DADA and Me,” in which he signaled of the end of the Dada movement, and what remains of the novel he had been working on at the end of his life, 'Lamprido', based on the characters of himself and his good friend Carl Einstein.Clément Pansaers (1885–1922) turned to poetry after abandoning his career as an Egyptologist.

Early in 2021, when the city was still in the grip of Covid-19 and ugly instances of anti-Asian sentiment were on the rise, Jang clandestinely wheat-pasted some of the images from his black-and-white photographic series 'The Jangs' (1973) over a boarded-up Goodwill storefront on Clement Street, in the heart of San Francisco’s unofficial Chinatown. He branded his photographs with a JANG stencil logo – introducing the persona “Chef Jang,” a chain-smoking wok master – and interspersed them with hand-designed posters and graphics that parody Asian product packaging and menus. Inserted into the visual landscape of this once bustling neighborhood, Jang’s gesture was one of solidarity, belonging and ownership. In 'JANG', the artist captures his own ephemeral and ever-changing urban interventions in more than 100 new photographs.Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, American photographer Michael Jang (born 1951) accrued an extensive body of work, capturing family members, art school life and various Californian milieus – ranging from Hollywood high-life parties to the San Francisco punk scene. After 50 years as a commercial and portrait photographer, Jang decided to share these underground shots with the world, quickly garnering a reputation as a hidden gem of social documentary as well as a master of the deadpan self-portrait.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781969303012.

The exhibition, which is curated by John Cheim, also features an essay by leading curator and critic Nancy Spector that draws upon newly released archival material held by the Matthew Wong Foundation.In his work, Wong investigates interiority as a critical locus for resistance, reflection and gradual transformation. Through the mediums of painting and drawing, he interrogates the spatial and affective registers of the interior—both as a literal, architectural space and as a metaphor for psychological depth. These works engage with the tensions between containment and expression, memory and presence, proposing a mode of aesthetic experience that privileges introspection, slowness and affective resonance over spectacle or immediacy. As critic Roberta Smith wrote in the New York Times, “These paintings are extremely open and vulnerable. But once they lure you in, they leave you alone to explore their chromatic, spatial and psychological complexities.”Upon receiving an MFA in photography from the City University of Hong Kong in 2013, Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984–2019) pivoted to painting and drawing, teaching himself techniques through online forums and library books. Wong’s work began to accrue critical attention just before his early death in 2019. He is best known for his deep-hued, melancholic landscapes populated with semi-organic figures rendered in watercolour, gouache and oil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9798218792619.

Designed by Chips NYC – who just last year produced the titles for 'Nosferatu', 'Wicked', 'Babygirl' and 'Nickel Boys' – this colourful hardback documents each work made by Adams and the Tandem printers, with an interview documenting the entire process as well as an essay by Judy Hecker and poems by Krista Franklin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9798218824006.
