Allborgarratten: The Right To The City As A Swedish Tradition

Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing Stockholm 2016ISBN 9789187543975$ 40.20* -- Idea Code 17128 author: Jan Ryden

"Allborgarrätten" is a newly coined concept that promises to be the urban equivalent of the rural,traditional Swedish "allemansrätten" – everyman's right to roam freely in nature. The rural right isone most Swedes know by heart, even though they now live in cities. Through the Nordic lens, JanRydén explores themes like the right to the city, national identity and connects it to a larger globaldiscourse. Along with this verbal exploration Rydén has created a series of pictograms, a pictorialgrammar of sorts, which follows its own poetic logic.

Novo Typo Color Book

De Buitenkant Amsterdam 2016ISBN 9789490913656$ 42.60* -- Idea Code 17133 author: Mark Van Wageningen

Are typographers and type designers really black-and-white thinkers? Are they so conservative as tothink that the text you see everywhere, even on your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, should alwaysbe black? Traditionally, texts in manuscripts were written in black, but this is probably because of thetechnical limitations of Gutenberg’s groundbreaking invention. Mark van Wageningen is pushing tochange this accepted norm. With text and design by Van Wageningen, a (typo-)graphic designerand founder of Novo Typo, an Amsterdam-based type foundry and graphic design studio, and apreface by Gerard Unger, this book celebrates the functionality and decoration of letters.

DADALENIN reconstructs and speculates about how Dada and Lenin had more in common than isusually assumed. The book points to some of the tragicomic aspects of their parallel andoverlapping artistic and political histories in order to question the unfulfilled legacy of the avant-garde. In Rainer Ganahl’s voluminous series of works DADA and Lenin are abundant sources ofhistorical imagination. To dive into the historical situation Ganahl uses a variety of artistic media andtechniques–ranging from animation movies to theatre performances, from ink drawings to bronzesculptures, departing from a number of historical details and catch phrases, from the no-man’s landbetween porn, terror and the history of the avant-gardes.

And I was in love with the girl, the girl who was my wife. I think a seriesof photographs should be compared with a novel or even a poem rather than a painting: let us tellsomething!"
