Re-Framed

Marc Hom

Part museum experiment, part documentary book project: Re-Framed shows the work of famed photographer Marc Hom in a whole new light. In this combined indoor/outdoor exhibition, viewers engage with the medium of portrait photography via the juxtaposition of a controlled classical indoor show with sculpture-like eleven-foot- tall photographs displayed and left exposed outdoors in the open air. This creates a new way to experience photography in an ever-evolving environment, while discovering oversized, larger-than-life pieces amidst the green lawn and lakeshore behind the museum building. Hom’s outdoor studio portraits, displayed in flexible three-meter-high frames, are vulnerable to elements that change the viewing experience: literally, the wind and weather.

Taylor Swift

Little People, Big Dreams

Inspire kids with the glittering story of pop superstar Taylor Swift! This talented singer–songwriter started as a little country girl with a big dream to become a star.

Little Taylor grew up on her family’s Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania, USA. Then, at age six, she went to her first concert – she saw LeAnn Rimes, the country musician. At that moment, Taylor fell in love with country music! Some of the kids at school didn’t understand but Taylor managed to shake it off!

She took her first steps towards stardom by recording a demo of cover songs and sent it to record labels in Nashville, the home of country music. However, while, she enjoyed singing others’ songs, she knew all too well that she had to express herself in her own words. So, she started writing her own lyrics and melodies and her natural talent for putting her feelings into words shone through.

After signing with a record label, she started working on her first album. Called ‘Taylor Swift’, it became very popular, very quickly. She earned a number one single on the country music charts.

Then, she released her second album, ‘Fearless’, which was country-pop instead of just country and suddenly, everyone knew her name. She won a Grammy for her work and started to write more and more pop music for her albums. She wrote heartfelt lyrics loved by millions around the world.

Despite the obstacles in her way, Taylor has always stood up for what she believes in, and always believes in herself!

Herb Lubalin: American Graphic Design

Thames & Hudson

One of the original Mad Men, Herb Lubalin (1918–1981) was a giant of American design and typography whose passion for rebellion and innovation made him one of the most successful art directors of the 20th century and beyond. He is perhaps most recognized for his typeface Avant Garde, but his reach extended far and wide. A constant boundary breaker on both a visual and social level, he was a co-creator of the culture-shocking magazines Avant-Garde, Eros and Fact, and founder of the equally influential U&lc.

Herb Lubalin: American Graphic Designer features hundreds of examples of Lubalin’s work and previously unseen photographs of him at work and play. Divided into sections on his work in advertising, typography and editorial, it also features an extensive biographical text by Adrian Shaughnessy that includes interviews with George Lois, Seymour Chwast, Alan Peckolick, Carl Fischer, Steven Heller and members of the Lubalin family.

Produced in association with the Herb Lubalin Study Center at Cooper Union, New York, and with the active cooperation of the Lubalin family, this monograph is the definitive work on one of America’s most influential designers.

At Home

Alice Neel

Alice Neel's unstinting, visionary engagement with the lives of those around her resulted in an inclusive oeuvre. This aspect of queer representation in her work is explored for the first time in this new catalogue.

Curated by Hilton Als and organized in collaboration with the Estate of Alice Neel, At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World highlights the artist's vibrant involvement with the human condition. Within a lifetime of work, Neel painted many people from many walks of life––this catalog is the first to focus on queer communities, those who were part of their circle, as well as allies and others with whom the artist was in broader conversation —together forming a collective portrait that both embodies and complicates an understanding of the queer world of Neel's moment and the artist's place within it.

This collection of paintings includes rarely seen works depicting individuals including Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and Adrienne Rich, as well as writers, artists, friends, and advocates. As Als notes, this book includes "not just portraits of gay people but those of theorists, activists, politicians, and so on who would qualify as queer by virtue of their different take in their given field and thus the world. So doing, they reflect Alice's own interest in and commitment to difference.”

The catalog accompanies Neel's first significant exhibition in Los Angeles, at David Zwirner in 2024. Edited and with a text by Als, the volume includes newly commissioned contributions by Alex Fialho, Evan Garza, and Wayne Koestenbaum.

The New Traditional

Gestalten

BESIDE is one of the world’s most forward-thinking media brands on a mission to bridge the gap between humans and nature. Cofounded by creatives Jean-Daniel Petit and Eliane Cadieux, BESIDE has grown–in only a few years–from a printed magazine into a media brand encompassing an online platform, workshops, a festival as well as a cabins project at the crossroads of nature and culture.

BESIDE draw on their unique perspective to bring more than 36 of the world’s most iconic craftspeople into the spotlight. We learn how these traditions are being revived, sustained, and adapted by a new generation that wants to lead a more meaningful and sustainable life.

Divided into three sections–people, rituals, and objects–THE NEW TRADITIONAL focuses on the people reviving the traditions that bring us closer to nature and to one another. We meet Whang-od Oggay, the most authentic tattoo artist in the world, the Japanese lacquerware maker Takeo Kudo, and globe maker Peter Bellerby. The profiles also feature the designer of the PET lamp, Alvaro Catalán de Ocón, and Jim Denevan who brought the table to the farm. As Catherine Métayer, BESIDE's Editor-in-Chief, writes in her introduction, “From Kenya to Korea, from Iceland to Canada, realities and traditions are strikingly different. But practitioners share a common yearning, a common ground. They are part of a movement for a 'new traditional'.”
