Installation Art Now
The much anticipated follow-up volume to our bestselling 2011 title Installation Art, this is the most impressive collection of renowned avant-garde installation pieces to-date. Only top-tier projects are featured, including biennale pieces from many different countries. Interior gallery and museum installations encourage poetic new ways of looking at enclosed space, while exterior projects on both large and small scales astound through their dramatic use of materials and reinvent the urban and rural built environment. Pink balloons are suspended in rows above the main thoroughfare of a major city, a prism of colored threads hung in the air makes an otherwise blas staircase magical, thin rays of light hover in space, a hole in a gallery wall reveals an entire hidden realm composed of layered ice blocks, while neoclassical arched windows pour transparent crystallized ice flows out onto marble floors. This book changes how we look at our everyday surroundings and their possibilities.
A Book on Books
From scrolls and sheets of papyrus to elaborate and expensive codices to the mass press-printed volumes as we know them today, books have come a long way since writing was first developed. Although digital technology has impacted how we consume information over the last few decades, book design has survived as a means of showcasing creativity and craftsmanship, as books remain important sources of inspiration, knowledge, and entertainment. A Book on Books showcases some of the best book design work from all over the world in celebrating the designers' contributions to preserving reading culture, as they continue to make books eye-catching and exciting to read or own. It also captures the voices of key influencers from publishing, printmaking, book fair organizing, and bookshop-owning standpoints, as they continue to play a crucial role in keeping the book-making industry alive and thriving even in the unknown future.
Computer Generated
3D art is in a transformative moment. This dynamic art movement is enabled by new tools and limited only by the imagination of its creators. Artists working in CG art today are unfettered by curators and gatekeepers, making their case directly to the public, largely on social media platforms such as Instagram. Organized in 3 sections, People, Places and Things, Computer Generated dives into this movement to showcase a cross-section of work from some of its most dynamic artists such as Andreas Wannerstedt, Antoni Tudisco, Roger Kilimanjaro, David McLeod, Alexis Christodoulou, Josh Pierce and Alexy PreĢfontaine. This collection aims to define a new art movement, serve as a resource for the digital art community, and inspire a new generation of CG artists.
Iconism
Icons, pictograms, and symbols are an important part of how we communicate in our every day lives. Whether they're used for branding, interactive applications, or wayfinding signs, the designs must be informative and aesthetic. Iconism highlights the ingenuity of these symbols. The text is divided into four sections: Icon & Pictogram Collections, Visual Identity, Wayfinding, and Interaction Design.
Inspiration of Book
Redefine your notion of what a book can be with Inspiration of Book, a collection of over 150 of the most imaginative and innovative books ever made. Some of the books within are crafted from outlandish materials, such as wood, fabric, coconuts or clam shells; others are designed in a way that is counter-intuitive to how most of us envision a book, like books with glow-in-the-dark pages, Snoop Doggs smokeable book, and the worlds first fully edible book. These books provoke the senses, inspire memories and stimulate our emotions. Hand-made or commercially produced, designed as works of art or as interactive toys, the books showcased in Inspiration of Book push the boundaries of the printed word and turn the act of reading a book into a full-body experience.
Skullture
"The image of the human skull is a universal icon, common throughout human civilization since time immemorial. "Skullture" takes a comprehensive approach to portraying how the image manifests in contemporary art, design and popular culture. This analysis includes visual and conceptual considerations of the skull throughout history, connecting the dots between Aztec religious iconography, Punk Rock and eighteenth century funerary practices without ever losing sight of the fact that, while fashion my change, the skull remains the same. "Skullture" presents diverse aesthetic uses of the skull as well as its various cultural resonances throughout all disciplines of art and design."--Back cover.
How to Disappear
Moki's images are unsettling and charming, strange yet familiar. They feature lonely northern landscapes: isolated Scandinavian and Icelandic terrain, a subarctic frozen lake continent, untouched caves and moss meadows and mountains sculpted into anatomical shapes by wind and water. Animals and humans emerge and dissolve into their environments. Within the solitude of nature, disappearing seems an obvious act. Her art evokes the animation of Hayao Miyazaki, but with a chilling beauty that's pure Moki.
Cork

This book supplies an astonishing overview about the recent trends in using an old natural material in many new ways in our daily life and give worthwhile insights in various production pro^cesses.
Elemental Earth
Elemental/Earth is a deep-dive into the latest in earth-based making, from composite stonework to 3D-printed ceramics. Profiles of artists renowned for their work with earthen materials explore the frontier where inspiration, skill, and technology meet.
