The Beauty Of The Fold: A Conversation with Joan Sallas. Charlotte Birnbaum.
Joan Sallas, a virtuoso of the fold, has meticulously researched and mastered the history and techniques of the art of the fold. With the banquet table as setting, his expertise and philosophy pour forth in the form of splendid, folded linen.
In this precious book, Sallas shares his folding wisdom, which Charlotte Birnbaum contextualizes in two essays on the history of napkin folding. The texts are accompanied by an illustrated catalogue of folding techniques.

The Event of Void. Francesco Sebregondi
The Heygate estate, as a piece of architecture, is dead; only left is its empty corpse, a delimited void. What is going on in this void? What is at stakes in its production and maintenance? What is its relation to the teeming city surrounding it? What is the subversive potential of that void? And since the appearance of a temporary void tends to be a constant within the pattern of urban regenerations, could we start thinking these voids together: as places from which to question, perhaps reinvent, the inherited axioms of the practice of architecture?

Bauhaus Dessau + Spector Books
Das erste Jahr: Bücher, Mappen, eine Zeitschrift
Philipp Oswalt und Anne König im Gespräch
Seit einem Jahr publiziert das Bauhaus Dessau gemeinsam mit dem Leipziger Verlag Spector Books. Ein Verlag, der in seinem Programm einen reflekiven Umgang mit dem Medium Buch postuliert, trifft auf eine traditionsreiche Institution, von der wesentliche Impulse für Design und Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts ausgingen.
Philipp Oswalt, der Direktor der Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, und Anne König, Verlegerin von Spector Books, stellen einige der gemeinsamen Publikationsprojekte bei MOTTO vor. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die zweite Ausgabe der Zeitschrift bauhaus, die sich mit der Beziehung zwischen dem Bauhaus und Israel beschäftigt.
Außerdem wird die von Stephan Müller und Tanja Wesse gestaltete Mappe zum Werk des Bauhausschülers Kurt Kranz vorgestellt, sowie die Publikation »schwarz : weiß / weiß : schwarz«, eine Serie von Zeichnungen von Kurt Kranz, die Wassily Kandinsky Anfang der 1930er Jahre verlegen wollte – ein Vorhaben das jedoch aufgrund der Weltwirtschaftskrise scheiterte und nun, 80 Jahre und einige Wirtschaftskrisen später, von Spector Books und der Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau umgesetzt werden konnte.
Dein Moment Ist Vorbei. Lars Rosenbohm.
Artist Book (2009)
