Futura Proxima - Curated for Gucci
Isbn 9789077745250
Publisher A Magazine
Idea code 21688
€ 39.00
‘Futura Proxima’ is a calendar curated for Gucci. But it is simultaneously a glimpse at tomorrow – a map of maybes and a fractal question mark of intriguing possibilities. In these pages, the extremes of utopias and dystopias dissolve, replaced by twelve polyvalent excursions into the near distant future. Exploring the speculative interactions of our human form parsed with aesthetics and architecture, literature, biology, and philosophy, it presents a non-linear loop of creative constructs for our physical and digital realities alike. With contributions by Emanuele Coccia, Natsuko Uchino, Alice Potts, Katie Paterson, Carlijn Jacobs, Aria Dean, Simon Denny, Jeremy Shaw, and more.

Ben Huff - Atomic Island
Isbn 9789083165820
Publisher Fw: Books
Idea code 22013
€ 40.00
Adak island served as the westernmost physical front in defense of democracy from 1934 to 1997. In a few short years during World War 2, the previously uninhabited island of Adak in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, bordered to the north by the Bering Sea, was made into the fourth largest city in the territory of Alaska. At the height of the Cold War, six thousand military personnel and their families lived in Adak. In March of 1997, with the Cold War over, the Navy abandoned the island. Today, less than seventy-five people live there amongst the crumbling buildings and fading memory of our past military ambitions.

Karlheinz Weinberger - Volume 3 Mediterraneo
Isbn 9783906822433
Publisher Sturm & Drang
Idea code 21729
€ 42.55
The Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger (1921–2006), best known for his edgy archive of queer youth and teenage misfits, also made several trips to the Mediterranean region in his lifetime. A few of the photos he took there are widely recognised, but most have never before been published. Many were shot in and around Agrigento, as well as the Lipari Islands, Lampedusa, Lecce, and Naples. He also visited Tangier in 1963 and 1964. His interest was not limited to men and their physiques, however, as he also documented the traditional life of Southern Europe, in the cities and the countryside, at the ports and the beaches, often imbuing these subjects with a filmic quality.

Erik Kessels: In Almost Every Picture 18 Shepherd Dog
Isbn 9789070478513
Publisher Kesselskramer
Idea code 22051
€ 25.00
During the 1960s and ’70s, the Romanian town of Baile Tusnad, with its hot springs and spas, was famous as a holiday and weekend destination. The pictures tourists took home would frequently include the German Sheperd belonging to local photographer George Nitescu. The dog was a familiar and popular fixture in the town. Hours after capturing their moment with the dog, the pictures could be collected from Nitescu’s urban villa, a place where tourists and locals often mingled. The images collected in this volume show changing faces, the bygone sights of a Romanian town in its prime, and one extremely photogenic German Sheperd whose name remains unknown.

Located in central Sweden, the Siljan Ring is a prehistoric impact crater which resulted from a major meteorite impact around 377 million years ago. It is one of the fifteen largest known impact craters on Earth and the largest in Europe, with a diameter of about 52 kilometres.

Richard Dawson - Slightly Scented
Isbn 9781527285644
Publisher Happy Retouching
Idea code 21751
€ 36.90
Adding to the history of art inspired by found objects are Richard Dawson’s flower works. The origins of these works were visits to an East London street market, where Dawson noticed the myriad discarded blooms that comprise much of the market’s detritus after closing, many trodden down onto the road and pavement. Intrigued, he sought to recreate them as images by using a scanner. As a result, no cameras, film, or photo development were part of the production of these images. It is a kind of technological reproduction which is unusually faithful, capturing the fine detail of the distressed yet still stunning flora and tapping into the history of botany as well as Victorian arts and crafts.

This Naked Incident - Alexander van der Heide & Sander Coers
Isbn 9789492852502
Publisher Jap Sam Books
Idea code
€ 30.00
This Naked Incident is a deep dive in search of the place that 'masculinity' holds in the lives of young people today. Alexander van der Heide and Sander Coers spoke with five peers; all assigned male at birth and all with very different experiences of masculinity and equally different gender expressions. Because what is masculinity? Where it sometimes seems that we have no more than stereotypes to resort to in our efforts to make this tangible, it turns out there are specific moments, charged by the people around you, and the places where you are, that suddenly allow for room to modify the way you express yourself.

Publisher Seigensha
Idea code 21632
€ 33.15
After graduating from the Photography Department of Osaka University of Arts in 2004, Atsushi Fukushima spent ten years working part-time as a delivery driver of ready-made meals for elderly people living alone in the city of Kawasaki. At first he was shocked by the dismal living conditions of the people for whom he provided food each day, and he began to take his camera with him to record the situation. His compassion and care eventually allowed him to build relationships with them as a friend. Through his photographs, Fukushima challenges us to consider some undeniable truths surrounding an aging society, caring for the elderly, facing death, and life in old age.

Chance Encounters In The Valley Of Lights - Rik Moran
Isbn 9781916412163
Publisher Centrecentre
Idea code 21752
€ 44.25
'Chance Encounters in the Valley of Lights' tells the story of an unsolved extra-terrestrial case from 1980s Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Photographer Rik Moran combines original imagery with never-before-seen archival material to investigate the possible alien abduction of PC Alan Godfrey. In illuminating one of small-town England's most unlikely protagonists, 'Chance Encounters' unearths another other-worldly mystery along the way. Todmorden's ancient standing stones and intricate local folklore have long proclaimed the West Yorkshire market town a site of strange and sinister happenings. In more recent years, Todmorden has become famous for its abundant UFO sightings.

Noah's Ark - An Improbable Space Survival Kit
Isbn 9789198533569
Publisher Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing
Idea code 21630
€ 69.90
Inspired by the survival kits used in the Apollo and Mercury space missions, ‘Noah’s Ark’ advances a set of conceptual and artistic tools to be used in a crisis situation like our present times, and to imagine the future. Vanishing bio-resources, the acceleration of global climate change, and the effects of the Anthropocene pose the urgency of survival in stronger and stronger terms. Nowadays, leaving the Earth and colonising outer space is becoming a potentially viable alternate reality. Yet ethical questions abound regarding the inhabitation of space, as well as concerning human responsibility towards this new realm. Will we also contaminate and destroy the worlds we encounter?

Ulrike Bruckner - Wire Drawings. Utilitary Photography
Isbn 9783907112304
Publisher Vexer Verlag
Idea code 21452
€ 23.50
In ‘Wire Drawings’, Ulrike Brückner appropriates functional photographs used on sales platforms such as eBay. These leftover cable scraps are often tossed in boxes or piles for sale and presented in private rooms, lying on the floor. Brücker’s photographs move beyond this mundanity to recall virtuoso drawings or paintings with an expressive style. She experiments with motifs and the space of the image, replacing the original surroundings with black, partially processed backgrounds. The contextual shift changes our view of the object, allowing the multifaceted beauty of the cable arrangements to emerge through the serial representation of the new visual worlds she has composed.

Navigating Music Technology
Isbn 9789491444678
Publisher Artez Press
Idea code 22023
€ 39.95
Music and technology are ubiquitous. In recent decades, developments in music-listening technology have ensured that our personal music is everywhere and accessible at all times. But how does the coupling of these two phenomena work in therapeutic contexts? In this groundbreaking handbook, Carola Werger, Marijke Groothuis, and Artur Jaschke investigate the various opportunities that music technology can bring to the profession, the field, and the development of music therapy in general. The book provides a theoretical framework in which the practice-based approach is embedded, but it can also be used in education or as a guide in everyday clinical practice.

Fieldings Propositions For 3rd Cycle Research In The Performing Arts

Publisher Das Publishing
Idea code 21625
€ 20.00
This collection of propositions is an attempt to differently inhabit, expand, and reimagine a field that can roughly be called performance. It is also a portrait of Third, a peer community committed to collective study. This experimental programme was set up to inhabit the gap between current educational possibilities and an imagined third cycle degree in the performing arts. The practices therein are presented here through the lens of exchange and collaboration with cross-boundary practitioners who define performance and research in risky, diverse, and ambitious ways. ‘Fieldings’ seeks to open up further horizons for artistic research in and beyond institutional contexts.

Cellula - An Anatomy Of Stage Space

Publisher Quodlibet
Idea code 21619
€ 26.90
An unprecedented way of talking about theatre emerges in this volume, an approach focusing on the analysis of the creative process which brings artworks to fruition. Interweaving the voice and thought of Enrico Pitozzi, a philosopher of theatre, with that of the artist Ermanna Montanari, it begins by identifying central facets of the work of Teatro delle Albe, which Montanari co-founded. Presenting photographic images drawn from over four decades of experience in dialogue with philosophical and art historical considerations by Pitozzi and Montanari, the chapter by chapter exploration visits specific themes such as the diaphanous, tactility, colour, the vegetal, and geometry.

Idea code 21682
€ 16.15
‘Until I’m Rich’ is Tamara Maggi’s visualisation of an unrealised dream: to possess the world’s most expensive luxury watches. From Rolex and Omega to Patek Philippe, Cartier, Hermès, Bulgari, and more, she pictures how each timepiece would look wrapped snugly around her wrist by making paper cut-outs and snapping a photo with her iPhone. Her hand, meanwhile, is engaged in ordinary activities, such as grasping a handbag, opening a car door, resting on a cloth, clutching a banana, or tracing a wall. On the opposing pages, Maggi makes clear just how unachievable owning such a watch is for the vast majority of people by listing the model’s retail price in several currencies.
