O.oo - No Magic In Riso

O.oo Risograph & Design 2019 ISBN 9789869758802 Acqn 29669
Pb 11x18cm 360pp col ills £41.50

Risograph is a brand of digital duplicators that are designed mainly for high-volume photocopying
and printing. The process creates micro-imperfections in printing, similar to spontaneity, or even
comparable to how improvisation in jazz can lead to an unexpected but pleasant result. The result
of two years of research by O.OO, a graphic design studio based in Taipei, the main focus of this
publication is colour separation and experimentation with images. The studio does not claim the
colour separation methods described here to be absolute or the "right" way,but offer resources in
hopes that they can provide helpful advice in practice while on the path to professionalism in this
field.

Karel Martens - Still Moving

Platform-L Contemporary Art Centre 2019 ISBN 9791195787456 Acqn 29638
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £54.50

This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of both new and old work by Karel Martens at
Platform-L Contemporary Art Centre in Seoul, curated by Sang Un Jeon. In both format and
content it offers a succinct overview of the world of the renowned Dutch graphic designer, who
has produced an extensive array of works over the six decades of his career. The various
influences he has absorbed during this period, combined with his socially conscious approach,
have made him an idiosyncratic designer who brings together rational schemes and literary
sensibility in a remarkable way. The publication was designed by Sulki & Min, former students of
Martens from Yale University.

Enzo Mari - L'altalena / Seesaw / Balancoire / Die Wippe

Corraini Editore 2019 ISBN 9788887942231 Acqn 29709
Pb 17x24cm 28pp col ills £33.50

The "Swing" can be either a book, a game, or an entertaining strip to hang up. The concertina-
fold pages are full of black and brown stylised animals that chase one another, overlap, leap with
their "heavy bodies" onto the ends of the simplest of swings trying to keep their balance. A
brightly coloured red and green cover envelops cumbersome elephants, sinuous snakes, and
statuesque kangaroos. The book does not have words and speaks conceptually to children of
quantity, shapes, weight, and balance. The first ideas for this book (the limited edition) date from
1961.

Science Of The Secondary 10 - Toilet Paper

Atelier Hoko 2019 ISBN 9789811403804 Acqn 29715
Pb 17x25cm 60pp col ills £20.25

'Science of the Secondary' is a creative project by Singapore-based Alvin Ho and Clara Koh, who
together go by HOKO. The series is a way for them to investigate the everyday and rediscover
our curiosity about things and practices so familiar that we often overlook them. The tenth issue
looks at toilet paper, the life of which is fundamentally short-lived. Even though its absence is a
major cause of panic for toilet users, the toilet roll remains a lowly object, and occasionally even
cause for embarrassment. Considering how excreting faeces is a daily affair for most, such
sentiments towards a roll of tissue destined to keep one's hygiene in order seems rather
immature.

astonishing combinations the collectors created to exhibit Lap's work in their homes. Access to
the artist's private archive was given to Titus M. Eliens. His biographical essay provides na insight
into the life and work of this perfectionist pur sang, who devoted his life to the consummate
ceramic form.

African Print - A Textile Story, Made In Kyoto

Seigensha Art Publishing 2019 ISBN 9784861527296 Acqn 29725
Pb 15x21cm 168pp col ills £31.50

Did you know that the colourful, vivid African textiles we are familiar with were once made in
Kyoto? It is a little-known fact that, in their heyday, Japanese-made multi-coloured textiles in an
"African print" style were a highly sought after commodity loved by local people. Especially during
the 1960s and '70s, these unique cloths with a variety of patterns were produced in Japan and
exported to various African regions, where they were transformed into typical garments, from
festive outfits to everyday wear. It was a booming cross-cultural industry, which this book
presents in stunning detail and colours, with numerous examples of swatches, archive
photographs, and a textile history.

Wirkkala
Corraini Editore 2019 ISBN 9788875707842 Acqn 29780
Pb 19x23cm 128pp col ills £31.50

Edited by curator Marco Romanelli, this catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition
'Tapio Wirkkala' at the Murano Museum of Glass. Wirkkala, for whom glass was a fundamental
material, is often regarded as one of the greatest designers of the 20th century. The book traces
the artistic evolution of this Finnish innovator during his Venetian period, where he expanded his
freedom of colour and learned techniques such as incalmo. Over the years, Wirkkala has
demonstrated the elegance of his formal research and also his debt to his native land, expressed
in his choice of material and forms which maintained a strong identity, and values to which he
always remained faithful.

The Stroke - Theory Of Writing

De Buitenkant Publishers 2019 ISBN 9789490913908 Acqn 29835
Pn 13x21cm 88pp £28.75

The stroke is the most concise and powerful statement of Gerrit Noordzij's theory of writing. First
published in Dutch in 1985, the book puts forward a genuine theory of all writing, done with any
kind of generating tool. Noordzij starts with fundamentals - the space within and between letters -
and proceeds in stages towards a full account of how the strokes of writing can be formed, and
an analysis of the qualities of letters. Along the way, there are reflections on history and culture,
and remarks on method. Noordzij's theory serves to repair the split that grew, with the invention
of printing, between written and typographic letters. He shows us the underlying 'written' quality of
all letters, with whatever technology they have been formed.
