This book is a chain of inspiration that involves 111 architects from around the world. How does
inspiration move through the atmosphere? How do we inspire each other? And how does creative
inspiration itself change through each person's unique experience? To find out, Anna Bates
initiated an experiment in 2017, tasking one architect to use a painting by Theo van Doesburg as
a stimulus for creating their own work. This would then be passed on to other architects, who in
turn would draw inspiration for their new work, and so on, growing into a web of conversation,
interplay, and inspiration. Gary Bates of Space Group was invited to create the first work.

Antonis Pittas - Jaune, Geel, Gelb, Yellow. Monochrome
Jap Sam 2022 ISBN 9789492852441 Acqn 32234
Pb 10x20cm 768pp col ills £30.50

Conceived by Antonis Pittas, this eye-catching neon publication examines the failure, collapse,
and historicization of the modernist ideals espoused by Theo van Doesburg, set against the
political backdrop of mass protest. It therefore more broadly presents an examination of
modernism itself, where De Stijl is approached through a political "lens" in relation to the present.
Included are contributions by Thalia Ostendorf, Bram Ieven, Dirk van den Heuvel, Maria Barnas,
Bart Rutten, and others. Pittas's artistic practice broadly focuses on contemporary social and
political issues, exploring topics such as safety and control, economic crises and acts of
resistance, and violence and vandalism.

Pb 24x32cm 152pp col ills £24.75

'Rollable Ramblings' is the first comprehensive publication on the textiles of Dutch artist Koen
Taselaar, whose body of work ranges from drawn puns and imaginary record sleeves to clumsy
ceramics and large psychedelic paintings, but who has gained particular acclaim for his elaborate
tapestries. Much of the book consists of reproductions and detail shots of his colourful and finely
crafted tapestries. Accompanying these are essays that shed light on the works and on the
history of textile art in general, written by art critic Katalin Herzog. This special edition features
graphic design by Team Thursday, Rotterdam, and was produced in collaboration with the
TextielLab, Tilburg.
