Walther E. Frost Boxcars 1935-1975. Joseph Edwards Notes 1936-1972 by Donwood Bricks

Walther E. Frost was an amateur photographer who produced over 10,000 pictures during his lifetime. One of his favourite subjects was the Boxcar.
Joseph Edwards was an employee at a Canadian railway company who wrote detailed notes of his everyday life on the tracks.
Donwood Bricks fills a small historical gap, which builds a connection between Walther and Joseph.

Dust Show, curated by Piotr Łakomy

Dust Show is a publication that sums up activities taking place in the space of the Amager Park in Copenhagen. The project, conceived by Piotr Łakomy, was extended over a longer period, with the works installed in September and October 2010. There were also works that did not make it to their destination, to the park by the sea. Dispersal – a characteristic feature of the project – was set in order in the publication Dust Show; it was here that all the artists and their works met. As in the case of an earlier book, Dust Snow, photographs documenting the show are accompanied by a text by Sebastian Cichocki, a curator of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
Participants of Dust Snow included: Jesper Fabricius, Christopher L G Hill, Paweł Kowzan, Piotr Łakomy, Mads Lindberg, POSTER COMPANY (Max Pitegoff & Travess Smalley), Tomasz Saciłowski, TTC (Simon Højbo Hansen, Magnus Clausen, Emil Alsbo), and Honza Zamojski.

Lazlo Magazine # 0 . On dwelling

Lazlo Magazine is a place of investigation through expression, a platform for debate and creativity; bold ideas in fresh forms. A half-yearly independent magazine drawing inspiration and content from (and aiming to reach) the academic chair and the club dance floor, the artist’s atelier and the scientist`s laboratory, the catwalk and the sidewalk. We interview, overview and review. Take pictures, draw illustrations and play music. We write narrative and poetry, fiction and non-fiction. Deconstruct and demystify. Reconstruct and link.
In each issue people from the above very different fields contribute on a chosen topic. Equal attention is paid to the quality of the content and of its layout. A solid and daring idea in a spartan yet adventurous design.

Lazlo Magazine N°0 is ‘On Dwelling’. Strongly influenced by Heidegger`s ‘Bauen Wohnen Denken’ we stroll between metropolis and countryside, real and virtual landscapes, chaos and order, looking for old and new ways to own and be owned by time and space, moment and place. Mapping traces of building re-inventing and re-bridging man and environment.

Panorama Olga Lewicka

Olga Lewicka’s >PANORAMA< presents her subjective view of the 19th century medium of the panorama. In this artist’s book, several layers of representation & examination overlap: the artist’s works, her private archive, documentation on European panoramas, texts by the collaborating authors. Thwarting the book’s typical linear structure, these layers become one texture, weaving the 19th century into the present. The panoramas and their popularity throughout the 19th century – the beginning of the modern culture industry – open up a new & allegorical perspective onto contemporary visual culture and its implication within the capitalist economy. The book reflects on the dialectics of entertainment and control or political oppression. But above all the panorama is revealed as a fascinating allegory of vision’s emancipatory power.
