The "One Word" series explores the how the gestalt of reading changes when there is only one word printed on each page. Different demands are made upon the viewer as the intended speed becomes slower and the act becomes more physical. Although the viewer can savor every word, different cognitive processes are in play that prematurely subjugate the sentence and the paragraph to memory. Although readers normally reads a text in phrases and sentences, the writer writes it one word at a time. It is seldom that people take the time to experience a work as the author conceived it; contemplating each word and carefully thinking it through. For the author it is both a secrete act as well as an aesthetic one. This text is laid out with one word on each page in order to provide the reader with the opportunity to contemplate the work a new.

The town and actual island known as Pawleys doesn't have boardwalks or Beachy town trappings. It's slow, private and classy. The people live on island time, a little to the right of bohemian I imagine; relaxed, down to earth, and spiritual. Yes, with the tides, winds, sand, ocean smells and sounds, the soul is soothed. However, Pawleys Island can be a frightening place to visit because once you spend time here you can't get the romance of the Lowcountry out of your mind. I know this as a fact because it happened to me. After visiting some friends in Pawleys we bought a home and one year later lived here. Some say there are ghosts and spirits among us. Maybe one of these spirits cast a spell and won't let go. After moving here I wanted to know everything there was to know about the Lowcountry. I spent months exploring, learning the lore and falling in love. I took classes in art, and it became a passion. I would like to tell my experiences of Pawleys Island through my paintings.

Deserted Places is an exploration of forgotten, lost places. The photographies are taken when almost no one is out, sometimes at night. The deserted places all have stories to tell. And when there is no one left to tell, only our imaginations tells us.

Being a forerunner of contemporary art, I created a new trend, a new "school" clashing with the common themes and the traditional expression media: "the cosmic art." I consider the cosmos as a topic, but also as an expression support. Each painting is a proposition of a drawing, a destiny or a planetary "design" from a scientific point of view, but it is also a celebration of beauty and the diversity of outer space from an artistic point of view. And finally, on a spiritual level, each painting can be seen as a mandala, a meditation support to connect with the essential, beyond life and death, in the framework of a Jungian psychological perspective. Socially, this series of paintings is the opportunity to incite reflection on the finitude of our planet and the way we are changing our lives, for better or worse. The money raised by selling the planet series is being used to run a systemic research and innovation program open internationally, "Design me a Planet." Through "Design Me a Planet" I invite the different stakeholders of the world to democratically discuss and create a real global program, viable and exciting through its beauty, its generousness and its truth.

When two strangers meet a story is sparked, which becomes a torch that lights the halls of Imagination. A story of two souls' journey through Dream-space and time.

The Bitter Sweet Philosophies is a collaboration between the artist Nick Fedaeff, and a collective of writers known as KK Jart. Nick Fedaeff is a Russian artist living and working in New Zealand. His art is exhibited and sold around the world. This particular collection of his work is an exploration of life through a child's eyes. Each painting has, Fedaeff says, "a real life behind it" and is inspired by a childhood memory. The pictures depict the universal emotions of joy, curiosity and fear, which speak to adults and children alike. The art of Nick Fedaeff evokes different responses from different people, depending on their view of life. It is this complexity that has sparked the KK Jart writers to respond to each picture in this fabulous book, bringing their own creativity to the experience of viewing Fedaeff's art. A picture is worth a thousand words - but each Fedaeff painting contains a thousand stories. On any page here you may find a thought that mirrors your own response. Or you may not. Some will make you laugh. Some will move you. Others may be incomprehensible or appear unrelated to the image in question. This does not make them wrong and it does not make them right - which is precisely the point. As Fedaeff says: "I've done my part. My pictures are very obvious. But then you have different takes on each one. The writers have their own independent vision and points of view. It has been a very unusual experience." Hopefully, the result of this collaboration will bring smiles of recognition. Or better still, invite your own response. Because, as we all know, there are far too many Bitter Sweet Philosophies to be contained in one book.

This book is a psychoarchaeological reconstruction of an art collective, irational.org, who existed in the times of the internet. The material reconstituted here was derived, after irational.org's disappearance, from multiple requests for data from their archived art server. These requests, made by post, were submitted by the author, V.M., to an unidentified and unreliable Data Auditor, using a Secure Access Protocol. It is rumoured that access to the archive was securitised by irational.org because it contains highly sensitive, possibly incriminating, data. The psychoarchaeologist's reconstruction reveals a cultural organisation that satirised, resisted and internalised the libertarian yet bureaucratic tendencies of a surveillance society, and its obsession with data privacy, security and property. The trail runs cold as the group made its retreat into the woods from a world that was disintegrating. Part of the PML Books series. A collaboration between Mute & the Post-Media Lab

2013 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this title Kandinsky analyzed the geometrical elements which make up every painting-the point and the line. He called the physical support and the material surface on which the artist draws or paints the basic plane, or BP. He did not analyze them objectively, but from the point of view of their inner effect on the observer. A point is a small bit of color put by the artist on the canvas. It is neither a geometric point nor a mathematical abstraction; it is extension, form and color. This form can be a square, a triangle, a circle, a star or something more complex. The point is the most concise form but, according to its placement on the basic plane, it will take a different tonality. It can be isolated or resonate with other points or lines. A line is the product of a force which has been applied in a given direction: the force exerted on the pencil or paintbrush by the artist. The produced linear forms may be of several types: a straight line, which results from a unique force applied in a single direction; an angular line, resulting from the alternation of two forces in different directions, or a curved (or wave-like) line, produced by the effect of two forces acting simultaneously. The book contains many photographic examples and drawings from Kandinsky's works which offer the demonstration of its theoretical observations, and which allow the reader to experience the inner effect of the point and line to plane.

Conceptual art as a popular phenomenon, known as conceptualism, had a profound impact upon the art world as a whole because it could manifest itself in any material or form. This allowed conceptual artists to approach themes that artists working in traditional materials could not. The term conceptual art was defined by Sol LeWitt, a pioneer of the movement, to describe diverse forms of written and visual documentation, including textual data, diagrams, drawings, maps, and photographic records. Stressing the use of language and thought process, the movement was the culmination of written information being enacted as art, something begun early in the century. In minimizing the relevance of the permanent visual object, conceptual art also demonstrated a disappointment with the museum and gallery system. It brought forth issues such as art as a commodity, what art could be, and art's role in society. It set out to shock the art community, to change the language of art, and to introduce a new way of perceiving and discussing art. Though it produced few known master works, conceptualism is credited with breaking from conventional art-making and did a great deal to open up the art world.

Fiber artists around the world have embraced crochet as an inventive medium like never before. Expanding on the creative possibilities, using sculpture, immense site-specific installations, performance and mixed media objects, they have used crochet techniques to explore feminine craft and heritage, to explore gender codes and to show the primal creative expression represented by crochet. In The Fine Art of Crochet, Gwen Blakley Kinsler looks at the art crochet movement from 1915 onward to the Crochet Revolution of the 1960s by profiling twenty of the most innovative practitioners working today, including such internationally known artists as Arline Fisch, Leslie Pontz, Carol Hummel, Tracy Krumm, Bonnie Meltzer and Soonran Youn. Blakley Kinsler, the Founder of the Crochet Guild of America and a fiber art practitioner in her own right, examines the concepts and the awe-inspiring works of these artists whose medium of choice is crochet. Documenting these artists, in whose hands the magic of crochet creates cutting-edge art for the twenty-first century, she offers insight to those who may not have otherwise thought to go beyond the purely practical aspect of crochet. The works featured in this book represent the diverse styles, unusual shapes, and exquisite textures that characterize crocheted art today. Perhaps most importantly, each artist approaches crochet with wonder and the desire to explore its full potential.
