Lous Martens - Animal Books For/ Dierenboeken Voor Jaap Zeno Anna Julian Luca
Isbn 9789492811073
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 17653
€ 34.00
Lous Martens has five grandchildren – Jaap, Zeno, Anna, Julian, and Luca – and has begun making an animal scrapbook for each newcomer to the family. Although it is seventeen years since the first, Jaap, was born, none of the five books are finished yet. Consisting of loosely pasted pictures of animals that were clipped from newspapers and magazines about art, literature, and science, plus stamps and photographs from advertising brochures, the books are enjoyable for their small, ever-evolving changes as new material is added. Interestingly, the books were never intended to be published, but are now grouped into one big volume, an embodiment of familial love and dedication.

Where Did Issey Come From? The Work Of Issey Miyake
Isbn 9784908062209
Publisher Hehe
Idea code 17577
€ 35.35
Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake was born in Hiroshima and studied graphic design at the Tama Art University in Tokyo, graduating in 1964. Following that, he spent time in Paris and New York City before returning to Tokyo in 1970, where he founded the Miyake Design Studio, a high-end producer of women’s fashion. Today he has become the kind of person who makes one wonder, “What kind of place could he possibly come from?” His creative energy seems like something from science fiction, perhaps even extraterrestrial. Part biography, part monograph, this volume dives into Miyake’s extraordinary world of design, tracing his roots through the years.

Isbn 9789082756906
Publisher Gerrit Rietveld Academie
Idea code 18043
€ 12.15
Written and compiled by second-year graphic design students at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, this pocket-size book comprises an alternative graphic design lexicon of offhand witticisms, twists on technical jargon, and humorously accurate (mis)appropriations. Taking references from insider lingo, pop culture, and formal parlance, the students have created an amusing, informative, and surprisingly sharp take on how we “talk about” graphic design. The book is the outcome of an assignment by Phil Baber, a book designer, editor, and writer who teaches graphic design at the school.

The Desire Of The Medium
Isbn 9789491444401
Publisher Artez Press
Idea code 18008
€ 24.90
Most of Marc Boumeester’s thinking falls under affect theory, a philosophy of a new generation, which in its turn is fueled by Deleuzian scholarship. Boumeester formulates new and contemporary concepts that can be put into action in art and design education through an operational style called "intensive thinking". In the book, many interesting examples of educational programmes and works of art are accompanied by images relating to how this theoretical approach can be applied in art and design practice. Boumeester concludes that education in art and design is also about the design of education: what we learn and how we learn are inseparable.

Publisher Kahl Editions
Idea code 17642

Israeli-Moroccan fashion designer Artsi Ifrach is often referred to as a slow-fashion visionary. He has earned worldwide attention for his label Art/C, which showcases his handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces made of vintage fabrics, family heirlooms, and materials sourced from flea markets around the globe. For Ifrach, clothing is less about commercial opportunism and more about creating an outlet for memory and emotion. Each photograph in ‘Piece of Mind’ is shot and styled by Ifrach and represents one creation per day. Expressive of the fine line between the ridiculous and the sublime, many are also self-portraits. With a conversation between Ifrach and Rinat Aboulafia.
