Bulletins of the Serving Library #1 – Sternberg Press + Dexter Sinister

Bulletins of The Serving Library is the new biannual publication from Dexter Sinister, which continues where the final issue of their previous house journal DOT DOT DOT left off. It will be published under the umbrella of their nascent Serving Library, a non-profit institution founded on a cooperatively-built archive that assembles itself by publishing. The pilot issue addresses the twin themes of Time generally and Libraries specifically, and includes texts by Angie Keefer, Rob Giampietro and David Reinfurt, and Bruce Sterling.

Urban Defect #2, #5, #7 – Volker Heinze – Common Sense Editions

The ‘Urban Defects’ are constructed images from photographs of real existing cities. They were realized as digital type-c prints framed to a size of 120 x 160cm. The ‘Urban Defects’ are part of a larger cycle of work called ‘Time Window’. There they are visually extended with portraits, sea and landscapes as well with advertisements in order to get hold of an album as a visual estate of cultural fragmentations of the 20th century. Sold as a set of three books (#2, #5, and #7).

Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung – Paulus M. Dreibholz – Gaffa Editions

Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung engages with elemental questions of design and typography. In short articles it touches the subjects of reading and understanding our environment, natural or cultural. It talks about the responsibility of the designer and assesses the speed of the design process.

Formen Lesen is a personal account of the activity of designing the things that surround us, mainly printed matters, but allows conceptual and practical insight into how this complex subject can be approached and offers opinions and arguments for further personal investigation.
