Belgrade collective Škart has been operating within and around existing hierarchies of the art world and everyday life, working in collaboration with marginalized groups, NGOs, and anti-war movements. Škart's understanding of the artwork is fluid and relationship based. No matter the medium - poetry, embroidery, graphic design, choir, or radio broadcast - its artistic explorations are characterised by self-organisation, rooted in creating an open, accessible infrastructure for being together. This approach has been incorporated into a different scale of activities ranging from the street level to participation in the Venice Biennale of Architecture. Different social experiences create different forms of relativity. Through conversations with Škart's members, a collection of images, poems, drawings as well as newly commissioned texts by Zdenka Badovinac, Branislav Dimitrijevič and Milica Pekič, this book captures traces of Škarts̀ practice from the 1990s to present.

Celebrating 15 years of a unique artist-run gallery in Galway Using 126, an artist-run gallery in Galway, Ireland, as an exemplar of an artist-run democracy, this book celebrates 15 years of 126 and explores the grounds for its unique mode of organization.

What does it mean to acknowledge one?s closeness to, enmeshment in or even kinship with the material world? And what does it mean to question family structures ? the way they organise, coerce and make deviant certain lifeforms ? and dwell in other possibilities of kin-making?00Not just a jolly rethinking of objects or a polyamorous romp through relationships, The Material Kinship Reader reckons with the extractavist histories of materials and the social relations that frame much of contemporary life.00Spanning fiction and theory, the collection of texts expand the idea of an artist?s book by bringing words into conversation with an aesthetic proposition. Clementine Edwards? artwork is the visual weft to the book?s written net. From colonial conquest to climate collapse, The Material Kinship Reader tells toxic and tender stories of interdependence along all things sentient and insentient.00Including contributions by Sara Ahmed, Hana Pera Aoake, Roland Barthes, Joannie Baumgärtner, Heather Davis, Kris Dittel, Clementine Edwards, Ama Josephine B. Johnstone, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ursula K. Le Guin, Sophie Lewis, Steven Millhauser, Jena Myung, Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Michelle Murphy, Ada M. Patterson, Kim TallBear and Michelle Tea.

Graphics have a way of living that is often awkward and unplanned. We see it when they are ripped from walls, littered on streets and faded in shop windows. We wouldn't say they are that way by design, however this everyday difference between graphics and their designs is underimagined in critical discourses. Graphic Events intensifies this difference in a montage of original essays and interviews that coax graphics into unfamiliar dialogues. - Verlagsangaben

Challenging the colonial narratives surrounding the Netflix film Against the Ice, this personal, editorial project by a present-day descendant opens-up to cultural and historical inclusion by broadening the storytelling.00The new Netflix film Against the Ice is based on the adventures of a Danish polar explorer, captain, and coloniser in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), who marked his agenda and achievements in books and maps that contributed to the production of ?collective memory? and the dominant history of Nordic colonialism.00This book is designed and edited by Gudrun Havsteen-Mikkelsen, the great-granddaughter of this same explorer, in collaboration with designer Anna Bierler. Combining visual and textual contributions, archival material, dialogues, and controversies, 'Snowblindness ? Let?s talk about storytelling, colonialism, Netflix and my great grandfather' presents new grounds for engagement with the polar explorer?s stories, whether these are visually, orally, or textually transferred. The result is a generous and vulnerable reader, which weaves information from a multiplicity of sources, and places particular emphasis on collaboration, trust, and questioning.00Our lives resonate through storytelling. The writing and rewriting of history, family stories handed down through generations, the inclusion of plural perspectives and subsequent broadening of conversations; our identities are made by narratives colliding and shifting. In Snowblindness, colonial narratives are challenged through such storytelling, encouraging a questioning of history, ethics, and aesthetics

How people sit and are an anthropology of chair design The anatomy of our bodies invites sitting; but do we design seats in the same way? Has our means of sitting been colonized by modern design? And how is the culturally various act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity?Matteo Guarnaccia’s (born 1954) Cross Cultural Chairs is a research-based design project “about the cultural context of furniture, understanding how globalization is shaping design around the world,” he writes. “It’s an exploration that lies between social and technical aspects of chairs.” To execute this project, Guarnaccia visited eight different countries to conduct research and talk to local design studios, ultimately collaborating with them to portray each culture in the form of a chair. Cross Cultural Chairs plumbs the hidden depths of furniture design and the ways in which cultural norms assert themselves through functional commodities, opening up a conversation about identity, community and expression through chairs.

Creative takes on domesticity and cooking from the constraints of lockdown As the coronavirus forced the world to close down, nearly everyone found themselves spending a lot more time at home than they had initially anticipated. With most 2020 plans foiled and travel restrictions on the rise, many artists turned to kitchen experiments as a new creative outlet. In Recipes for the Future, 16 culture-makers share the culinary concoctions they made in reaction to their newly disrupted lifestyles, revealing a vision for the future based around the ambition to change and to widen the limits of human imagination. The visions and recipes of these writers, academics, philosophers, singers, visual artists, theater-makers and designers working in the Netherlands and Germany paint a unique portrait of our current moment. Themes of sustainability, domesticity, utopian realities and the role of cultural institutions arise in between recipes for "corona ice cream" and "mushrooms at the end of the world."

The politics of a pictogram: technology, gender, race and class in the history of the heart symbolThe ubiquitous, benign and seemingly innocuous heart symbol hides a much more complex story than its appearance suggests. The heart is often described as a universal symbol for love, yet its history suggests otherwise; it is closer to a corporate and political medium, embedded with all of the familiar imbalances of class, gender and race. The symbol developed in the 15th century and became popular in Europe during the 16th century. Until then, the heart shape was not associated with love or any of its current implications: in other words, this apparently eternal image has a history. In the Name of lays bare this fascinatingly fraught and complex history, revealing the intricacies and problems surrounding the heart symbol. In text and images, the book explores how technological, political and historical dominance has impacted the development of communication and our access to (online) information today.
