Von New York lernen - Der alternative Reiseführer in die Weltstadt

New York als Vorbild einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung

Kann New York das Vorbild einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung sein? Von der Stadt an der amerikanischen Ostküste begeistert, geht die Architektin Susanne Lehmann-Reupert (*1964 in Köln) auf ihren Streifzügen, etwa von Dumbo über Brooklyn Bridge Park nach Red Hook und von der High Line bis zum Bryant Park, den Veränderungen im öffentlichen Raum nach. Sie entdeckt neue Erholungsflächen an Hudson und East River oder Dachgärten und Stadtfarmen und erkennt hinter den sichtbaren Qualitätsverbesserungen eine klare Strategie der Rückbesinnung auf die Tradition des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements. In dem Lese- und Bildband stellt sie die Akteure beispielhafter Projekte und Orte vor und beantwortet Fragen wie: Wer schuf den ersten Community Garden? Wie kam es zur Eagle Street Rooftop Farm? Wer treibt die rasante Einrichtung von Fahrradrouten voran? Scheinbar nebenbei stellt sie nachahmenswerte Grundsätze einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung dar.

How To Be German in 50 Easy Steps!

Zweisprachiges Wendebuch Deutsch/Englisch

Eine Anleitung von Apfelsaftschorle bis Tschüss

Frühstücke ausgiebig, buche deine Urlaube bis 2017, zieh dir was Vernünftiges an und gehorche dem roten Ampelmann! Deutschland ist ein herrliches Land, und Adam Fletcher macht es jedem kinderleicht, sich hier zurechtzufinden. 
In 50 einfachen Schritten gibt er eine gründliche Anleitung, wie man ein waschechter Deutscher wird: Pflichtlektüre für alle little foreigners wie für all diejenigen Deutschen, die ihr eigenes Land immer noch nicht so ganz verstanden haben. Wir lernen, warum die Deutschen so frei über Sex sprechen, warum sie so sehr von Spiegel Online besessen sind und warum sie alle davon träumen, nackt in einem See von Apfelsaftschorle zu schwimmen. Am Ende von Adam Fletchers Liebesbrief an Deutschland heißt es nur noch: "Alles klar!"

A guide from Apfelsaftschorle to Tschüss

Breakfast lavishly, pre-book all your holidays years in advance, dress sensibly and obey the red man! How to be German presents all the little absurdities that make living in Germany such a pleasure. It’s required reading for all Ausländer and for Germans who sometimes have the feeling they don’t understand their own country. We learn why the Germans speak so freely about sex, why they are so obsessed with Spiegel Online and why they all dream of being naked in a lake of Apfelsaftschorle. At the end, the only thing left to say to Adam Fletcher’s love letter to Germany is ‚Alles klar!’

Introducing: Culture Identities

Design for Museums, Theaters and Cultural Institutions

An inside look by designers and clients at graphic design’s main playground and proving ground—working for cultural institutions.

This book takes an inside look at graphic design’s main playground and proving ground—working for cultural institutions. One would be hard pressed to find another area of graphic design in which the work is so fresh and experimental and so often serves as a precursor for future visual trends.

Introducing: Culture Identities features outstanding poster campaigns, publications, and cross-platform corporate design for international cultural institutions by both young designers, who are striving to prove themselves creatively, and established studios, who are experimenting with new forms of visual expression. In the book, readers not only hear from designers who are especially active in the cultural field, such as Bureau Mirko Borsche, the New York-based studio 2x4, James Goggin, and Johannes Erler, but also from notables on the client side including MoMA, the Barbican, Van Abbemuseum, and documenta.

With its selection of striking collaborations between innovative designers and visionary cultural institutions, Introducing: Culture Identities presents the field of visual identities for cultural clients as a continuous dialogue that pushes the limit of what is possible creatively.

Let's be honest! We all want a JETPACK.

You're All Just Jealous Of My Jetpack 

Tom Gauld 

A NEW COLLECTION FROM THE GUARDIAN AND NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE CARTOONIST

New York Times Magazine cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel Goliath with You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, a collection of cartoons made for The Guardian. Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britain’s most well regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge and hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North America – exclusively within the pages of the prestigious Believer magazine. You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack distils perfectly Gauld’s dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police and fictional towns designed by Tom Waits intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about human behavior and whimsical imaginings of the future. Again and again, Tom Gauld reaffirms his position as a first rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.

A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting

A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting 
by Guy Delisle 

MEDITATIONS ON FATHERHOOD FROM THE AUTHOR OFJERUSALEM: CHRONICLES FROM THE HOLY CITY

With A User’s Guide to Neglectful Parenting, the trademark dry humor that pervades Guy Delisle’s landmark and praised graphic travelogues takes center stage. Quick, light vignettes play on the worries and cares any young parent might have, and offer wry solutions to the petty frustrations of being a dad who works from home. 

Readers familiar with Delisle’s stranger-in-a-strange-land technique for storytelling (employed in Jerusalem, Pyongyang, Burma, and Shenzhen) will recognize the titular parent in this book; Delisle’s travelogues were simultaneously portraits of complex places and times, and portraits of a stay-at-home dad’s ever-changing relationship with his children while his wife is out working for Doctors Without Borders. The relationship between young child and all-too-irony-aware parent is beautifully done here, and Delisle’s loose flowing style has been set free, creating a wonderful sense of motion throughout. A User’s Guide to Neglectful Parenting is an intimate, offbeat look at the joys of parenting.

New Book: Vader's little princess

Vader's little princess

by Jeffrey Brown

In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader™ and Son, Vader—Sith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empire—now faces the trials, joys, and mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a rebellious teenager. Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic Star Wars® moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time she spends talking with friends via R2-D2’s hologram, and making sure Leia doesn’t leave the house wearing only a skirted metal bikini, Vader’s parenting skills are put hilariously to the test.

Jeffrey Brown is the author of numerous graphic novels and comics, including Cat Getting Out of a Bag, Cats are Weird, and Darth Vader™ and Son. A lifelong Star Wars fan, he lives in Chicago with his wife and six-year-old son.

Jimmy Corrigan - Der klügste Junge der Welt

von Chris Ware

Jimmy Corrigan ist ein linkischer und dauerkränkelnder Enddreißiger, der ein Dasein als unauffälliger Büroangestellter fristet. Sein soziales Leben beschränkt sich auf die täglichen Kontrollanrufe der Mutter – und findet ansonsten in seinen tagträumerischen Heldenfantasien statt. Ein Brief seines Vaters, der nach jahrzehntelanger Abwesenheit die Beziehung wiederbeleben möchte, reißt ihn schließlich aus seinem lethargischen Alltag heraus. 

Auf nahezu 400 Seiten breitet Chris Ware die generationenübergreifende Geschichte der Familie Corrigan aus, die bis ins Chicago des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts zurückreicht. Eine epische Erzählung über hundert Jahre Einsamkeit – in Bildern von berührender Tiefe. 

Als Chris Ware "Jimmy Corrigan" zur Milleniumswende veröffentlichte, löste er damit weit über die Grenzen der Comicwelt hinaus Begeisterung aus. Seitdem gilt das Buch als "Jahrhundertcomic", der die Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten von Bild und Wort radikal ausschöpft und damit beweist: Es gibt große Literatur, die sich nur als Comic erzählen lässt.

Agenten im Grünen. Mit "Mein wildes Buch" von Keri Smith

Mein wildes Buch

Das neue Buch von Keri Smith, der Autorin von "Mach dieses Buch fertig" und "Das ist mehr als ein Buch"

An einem stürmischen Abend fand Keri Smith ein geheimnisvolles Bündel Seiten auf einer Parkbank: Das »Grüne Handbuch« – eine Anleitung für die geheimagentenmäßig konspirative Erforschung der Natur. Diesen Fund teilt sie nun mit all denen, die Lust darauf haben, den Zauber, die Freiheit und das Abenteuer des Draußenseins zu erleben: einen Geheimclub in Sachen Natur gründen, den Lieblingsort entdecken und einrichten, dort lange in den Himmel gucken, Tiere studieren, Zufallswanderungen unternehmen, Spuren hinterlassen. Nur wer genau hinsieht, kann auch etwas entdecken. Daher durchläuft der künftige Naturentdecker und -detektiv auch eine spannende Kurzausbildung in Sachen Beobachtung und Dokumentation, Wahrnehmung und Interpretation – er lernt, Geheimcodes zu knacken, das Gedächtnis zu trainieren, alltägliche Dinge neu zu erleben. In Zeiten, in denen uns allen der Bezug zur Natur immer mehr abhanden gerät, kommt dieses Buch wie gerufen. Es ist das wildeste und das originellste Natur-Entdeckungsbuch, seit es Bäume gibt.

Dr Lakra - Art from Oaxaca, Mexico

This book gathers the splendid work of Mexican artist Dr. Lakra, who super imposes mystical, ancient or funerary symbolism gang tattoos, bones and skulls, Aztec warrior heads, spider webs, serpents and demons onto vintage advertisements, girlie pinups, Japanese prints, baby dolls, cast skulls and the like, attaining an effect that resembles a Dia de los Muertos altar slyly erected in place of a kitchen table in the home-furnishings section of a Mexico City department store. In one way or another, the noncivilized human, the nonrefined, the primitive, is always been repressed, in a way that s almost criminal. Dr. Lakra, who also works as a tattoo artist, has said. I think that through these themes you can define the essence of culture. This lavishly illustrated volume contains 120 color images of Lakra s work, plus a contribution from renowned Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco.

Dr Lakra (Jeronimo Lopez Ramirez, born 1972, Mexico) is an artist and tattooist based in Oaxaca, Mexico. Apart from tattooing, his art involves embellishing images and other found objects - for instance, dolls, old medical illustrations, and pictures in 1950s Mexican magazines - with macabre or tattoo-style designs.
He has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including Stolen Bike at the Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York, Los Dos Amigos at MACO in Mexico, Pin Up at Tate Modern and Pierced Hearts and True Love at The Drawing Center in New York.

NEW BOOK of Gestalten: Rock the Shack

Rock the Shack

The Architecture of Cabins, Cocoons and Hide-Outs

Rock the Shack takes us to the places we long for. For the first time in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in the country. Yet, at the same time, more and more city dwellers are yearning for rural farms, mountain cabins, or seaside homes. These kinds of refuges offer modern men and women a promise of what urban centers usually cannot provide: quiet, relaxation, being out of reach, getting back to basics, feeling human again.

Rock the Shack is a survey of such contemporary refuges from around the world—from basic to luxury. The book features a compelling range of sparingly to intricately furnished cabins, cottages, second homes, tree houses, transformations, shelters, and cocoons. The look of the included structures from the outside is just as important as the view from inside. What these diverse projects have in common is an exceptional spirit that melds the uniqueness of a geographic location with the individual character of the building’s owner and architect.

Barry McGee

Barry McGee

D.A.P./University of California, Berkley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

Published on the occasion of the first major survey of Barry McGee’s work, this monumental volume records more than two decades of incredible fecundity, over the course of which McGee has pioneered a new iconography of sharp street vitality and graphic snap. McGee began as a graffiti artist on the streets of San Francisco, working under such tags as Ray Fong, Twist and Twisto, and his work since then has hugely expanded the terms of both street art and contemporary art. The freshness of McGee’s work stems in part from his virtuoso handling and consolidation of a whole panoply of influences, from hobo art, sign painting and graffiti to comics, Beat literature and much else. His extraordinary skill as a draughtsman is energized by his insistence on pushing at the parameters of art--his work can be shockingly informal in the gallery and surprisingly elegant on the street--and by his keen nose for social malaise.This volume revisits McGee’s most influential installations in art spaces, and considers the evolution of his aesthetic within institutional settings. Previously unseen photographs by Craig Costello document the artist’s work on the streets of San Francisco in the early 90s, highlighting the contributions of his friends and mentors. Also included are images from the artist’s famous slide lecture, compiled and refined over the past 20 years, and an oral history of the Bay Area’s Mission School by McGee’s friends, mentors and collaborators. Featuring 450 images, including many never before published, the book is designed by the artist in collaboration with Conny Purtill.

Barry McGee (born 1966) began exhibiting his work in the 1980s--not in a museum or gallery setting but on the streets of San Francisco. In the early 90s he was closely associated with the Mission School and the San Francisco Bay Area’s graffiti boom. In 2001 his work was included in the Venice Biennale.

NEU: Atlas der Vorurteile

 

Atlas der Vorurteile

Yanko Tsetkov

Jeder sieht die Welt mit eigenen Augen.

Wie sehr die eigene Perspektive den Blick auf die Welt bestimmt, deckt der Atlas der Vorurteile des bulgarischen Designers Yanko Tsvetkov schonungslos auf. Europa aus der Sicht von Deutschland oder Griechenland – da werden fundamentale Unterschiede deutlich. Europa durch die Brille des Vatikans oder von Schwulen-Seite aus betrachtet – größere Abweichungen sind kaum denkbar. Eine Sammlung von Vorurteilen, die wohl alle ein Körnchen Wahrheit enthalten – vor allem aber unsere eigenen, bisweilen abstrusen Ängste ad absurdum führen.

Seine erste satirische Landkarte veröffentlichte Tsvetkov 2009 im Internet. Alles begann mit der zunächst spontanen Idee, nationale und historische Klischees zu visualisieren. Heute umfasst das Projekt mehr als 40 Karten, für die er international bereits gefeiert wurde und die hier erstmals in Buchform und in deutscher Sprache erscheinen. Ebenfalls enthalten sind exklusiv für das Buch erstellte Karten und ein Essay des Künstlers über seine Erfahrungen mit diesem Projekt.

Yanko Tsvetkov wurde 1975 in Varna an der Schwarzmeerküste geboren. Er machte eine Ausbildung zum Kameramann. Alsbald tauschte er die Kamera gegen einen Computer und verliebte sich hoffnungslos in Fotografie, Illustration, Grafikdesign und das Schreiben. Unter dem Namen alphadesigner.com startete er seine eigene Webseite, auf der er sich all diesen Leidenschaften widmet.

Comic: Jinchalo by Matthew Forsythe

Jinchalo 

Matt Forsythe 

From the author of Ojingog, another of enchantment and adventure.

Jinchalo is Korean for "Really?" and that question (formulated variously as "What is and what isn't?" "What is real?" and "What is imagined?") is at the heart of this book. A companion to Matthew Forsythe's vastly successful Ojingogo, Jinchalo stars the same  little girl as its heroine. When Jinchalo lands them in some hot water, the pair is forced to flee the safety of their home. In the course of their flight, they visit a robot garden, follow a vine into the clouds, and leave their village far, far behind.

These comics are firmly rooted in Korean folktales and stylistic conventions, with a playful, joyously drawn line. Jinchalowelcomes readers back into Forsythe's Miyazaki-tinged dreamscape, where spotted octopi fly and bears give piggyback rides, where hummingbirds are larger than people, and a sad furry monster wearing a bowler hat lurks around every corner. Forsythe uses page space innovatively in this wordless panel-less book. Both simple and intricately detailed, his storytelling is compelling for all ages.
