When artefacts become pieces of evidence and artists are transfigured into fictional characters animated by their worship of Western art, culture shrinks into the narrow border of the state nation:" would state Tweetu, the weird curator and main suspect of the plot. Detective Elchmanyahu's auto-da-fe follows the bound to fail investigation on the fire that burned a public art collection in southern Tel Aviv. The dodgy officer in charge uses all imaginable tricks and trades of whodunit novels to unfold a police investigation that casts a gloomy yet lucid look over the Israeli culture and its visual art scene. Framed in between fact and fiction by the tendentious writing of Jonathan Touitou, this book is a layered investigation of the art world and its deeds. Against the backdrop of the second Intifada and today's recurrent undermining of Palestinian rights, this controversial book will provide its readers with a perspective of an infiltrated outsider on the Israeli society, possibly supply the welding torch for the cynical ones, a bonfire for the freaks and fireworks for the wholehearted.

On ecological and social metabolisms, cohabitation, engineering and economy in urbanised shallow water territories. This magazine explores two extreme cases of urbanized shallow water territories - Markermeer/IJsselmeer in the heart of the Netherlands and the Venetian Lagoon. One is probably the most technologically controlled water on Earth, while the other negotiates a balance of natural water cycles, extreme weather, and a robust tourist economy. Providing points of reflection for similar territories where prospective sea level rise in the near future poses urgent questions about human and more-than human cohabitation, engineering, economy, and both ecological and social metabolisms.

Two New York Times fact-checkers spark a multidisciplinary meditation on truth and fictionThis volume connects two seemingly contradictory paradigms of knowledge-seeking: speculation, which attempts to think and act beyond existing knowledge and structures, and fact, which seeks a robust consensus on which reality can be built. The backbone of the book is an email exchange between Alex Carp and Jamie Fisher, two fact-checkers from the New York Times Magazine, to which artists and writers respond, via an initiative at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. The publication includes the original letters and workshop scripts, as well as additional texts by philosophers, journalists, writers and artists, addressing the question: when expanding knowledge and speculating with fiction, what sense of responsibility is needed in times of democratized opinion and fake news?

On the impact of Dutch colonialism on Indonesian architectureThis book presents new perspectives on Dutch colonial architecture in Indonesia, focusing on the village of Kaliurang (a region of Yogyakarta). What Bungalows Can Tell addresses the conflicts around growing tourism and gentrification processes, and their effects on the quality and continuity of local ways of life, aiming to critically understand the spatial effects of globalization and heritage formation on a local scale.The authors' research looks specifically at the colonial bungalows of Kaliurang and the stories around them, questioning how they were used in the past, what their function is today and what they can represent in the future. In doing so, this book seeks to take into account the colonial history of the village, while also bringing to the fore the voices, stories and local wisdoms often eclipsed by more prominent forms of Western knowledge production.Tracing a variety of historical and contemporary influences on local architecture--including cosmological symbolism, Javanese mythology and heritage-preserving infrastructure--this publication records an enduring, lively coexistence somewhere between a heritage site and a local neighborhood.

Communal cooking as political pleasure: recipes and ideas for collaborating in the kitchenIn this imaginative and incisive take on both the cookbook form and on the labor and culture attending it, food preparation is assessed as both a creative outlet and an inherently political pursuit, a means of nourishing the community and nurturing meaningful conversation. Along with tasty dinner recipes, Home Works expands upon its central ideas through a series of essays and interviews that address the gendered division of domestic labor. This global perspective challenges what labor we value and how work is organized. The book originated as a research project by Spanish architect Anna Puigjaner investigating housing designs in New York that were developed without fully equipped kitchens, or in some cases no kitchen at all. This led to an exploration of community responses to these kitchenless homes involving communal urban kitchens, which today can be found across the world from Lima to Tokyo. In these examples, the kitchen mutated from a space that defined the clichés of family and home to a space for the development of political communities that took control over their living situation. What would happen if we would do away with our kitchens and collectively gather and share a kitchen? What does it mean to eat together? What type of togetherness would this kind of communal dining create? Upending the model of cookery as an isolated act, Home Works argues for communal eating in fun and life-enhancing ways.

Pedagogical and participatory art from the coauthor of Making and BeingIn Art, Engagement, Economy: the Working Practice of Caroline Woolard, this acclaimed New York-based artist and educator (born 1984) proposes a politics of transparent production in the arts, whereby heated negotiations and mundane budgets are presented alongside documentation of finished gallery installations. Readers follow the behind-the-scenes work that is required to produce interdisciplinary art projects, from a commission at MoMA to a self-organized, international barter network with over 20,000 participants. With contextual analysis of the political economy of the arts, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the Covid pandemic of 2020, this book suggests that artists can bring studio-based sculptural techniques to an approach to art-making that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue.

On the constraints of systems in designIn graphic design, the concept of systems is profoundly rooted in form. Starting from a series of design research residencies in the context of the Porto Design Biennale, this volume proposes a variety of social and political perspectives to challenge this deeply engrained tradition.

Exploring how design educators deploy the idea of the "radical"This book argues that, over the past 15 years, there has been a consistent deterioration of democracy in tandem with the establishment of the marketization and monetization of design education. Navigating difficult external political contexts in the middle of internal power struggles, college design courses seem to be incapable of challenging political, social, cultural and environmental phenomena with the urgency that all of these demand. Swallowed by an ever-rolling snowball of neoliberal educational models, small gestures do not produce the kind of radical change that design education and our catastrophic climate crisis needs for our survival. The fourth issue of Onomatopee's annual design criticism journal investigates the use of the word "radical" in design discourse and practice, exploring the challenges design universities face in responding with urgency to political, social, cultural and environmental struggles.This issue features essays by Danah Abdulla, Anne-Marie Willis, Tanveer Ahmed, Kenneth Fitzgerald, Anja Groten, Hannah Ellis and the research-led platform Depatriarchise Design.

In this fourth edition of Field Essays we explore the specific decolonial and tactile research approach in the work of Paris-based design-duo dach&zephir. Convinced of the symbolic act of transmission and the gestures objects convey they zoom into the historic making of identity.

One-to-One refers to a working method in which items of clothing became large-sized printing tools, covered in black and blue ink. Each clothing item served as a stamp, and was simultaneously being stamped on, thus creating a chain reaction and making each clothing item an original and a copy. As such the project One-to-One offers new perspectives on reproduction - it allows us to look beyond the status conveyed by the label and see the actual, material properties of clothing.Bringing together contributions by Amelia Groom, Ruby Hoette, Joke Robaard, T'ai Smith and Hanka van der Voet this reader explores some of the project's core questions: What does it mean to copy in fashion? What if a garment could be both a copy and an original at the same time? What if reproduction and production are one and the same? This reader documents the process and outcomes of the One-to-One project as well as exploring the implications and possibilities of this unique working method in the broader context of the fashion system.

The center of the city is the place for meeting and consumption. It is where everyone goes, it's where our culture is consumed and lived. However, the offering there is limited, and not a lot is allowed. It's not everybody's space, but the space of the majority. Yet even for that majority, there is no free choice, so it is also place for the silent majority. Meanwhile, every human being wants an inclusive culture, with free offering and free access. Although our culture turns out not to be free, but forced. With this project we ask what could be on offer, and what perhaps ought to be? Many free-thinkers such as designers, philosophers, journalists, artists and others take space to explore this. In short: WE ARE THE MARKET! calls out to freedom in the capitalist commons, within the cultural production of the high street.

In this paperback, questions regarding how to navigate in the present are not raised to generate an answer, a method, or a map, but rather as framing principles analogous to those of a logbook. On a voyage, a ship's crew registers surroundings and important events in a manner such as this. The cargo contained within this edition is an assemblage of materials provided by over 60 practitioners from a variety of professions and personal backgrounds, and is therefore heterogeneous in terms of language, form, and content. The resulting narratives emerge across the pages in the trails left by individuals and collectives of human beings as they move, teach, learn and unlearn, traversing the various apparatuses that determine their agency. In this way, the term "navigation" is activated, implicitly and explicitly on myriad levels such as the biographical, historical, epistemological, technological, and the aesthetical.

The Standard Book of Noun-Verb Exhibition Grammar is a partial compendium of the different modes of being that inhabit exhibitions. These different modes of being, often placed outside the realm of art objects proper, are described and activated here as crucial players in the world of contemporary art. Maximizing a poetic resourcefulness, this book proposes the exhibition as an ecology full of things that are infinitely more dimensional than their ascribed functionality would lead us to believe, and creates a space where species meet, where ontological and epistemological registers clash, overlap, and contaminate each other, where the living and inert, organic and inorganic exchange properties, qualities, and performances. Ultimately this book aims to show that what revolves around, within, and beyond any given system resolves to be just as serious and important as what that system aims to convey. The exhibition and catalog are curated by The Office for Curating, a generic name for a curatorial practice and an agency, established in 2012 by niekolaas Johannes Lekkerkerk, working in Rotterdam.

Exploring the impact of the contemporary value-ornament on today's makersAlongside the literal form of ornament a contemporary form has emerged, which shares the ascribed characteristics of the literal ornament, but has an even more pervasive effect. This ornament, that takes the shape of (commercially) constructed values and relates to branding, storytelling and the experience economy, plays a key role in the understanding of fashion today. Interwoven in design practices this value-ornament has gained a dominant position in today's consumer society. By considering the layered character, the evolution of ornament and reflections on this from various sources and contexts ranging from Adolf Loos to Michel de Certeau, this text focuses on the impact of the contemporary value-ornament on today's makers and users revealing potential for future alternatives.

Because feminism has suddenly become a fashionable commodity, were in desperate need of a more inclusive and varied reflection on contemporary girlhood, cross-cultural feminism, and the relationship between gender, politics, and philosophy.

The conceptual / internet based artist, Jim Rickss synchronic sequence of popular images or objects rests, on opportunities to visually connect politics and/or aesthetics and/or history and/or philosophy together. In Rickss world images explode, reloading their meaning and impact by mere association; a smiling pineapple ends up inside a hand grenade, the hand grenade ends up in the hand of the young boy in the iconic Diane Arbus photograph which leads into a conversation about photography. This dance of culturally charged imagery does not stop until the last page of the book. far from a traditional exhibition, document Alien Invader branches out to be all forms a book can be. It includes collaborations, footnotes as inserts and explorations in print along with a sticker, newspaper, leaflet, cook book, coloring, bookmark, and a book within the book with a text by art and design critic Max Bruinsma, describing the Synchromaterialist approach. Its a riot of infomration! Ricks is American born but now lives in Ireland. He has a devout following constantly tracking both his public installations and voluminous web postings.
