Hybrid Venice - Designing a Self-Portrait

Quodlibet 2022 ISBN 9788822908148 Acqn 32532
Pb 24x28cm 240pp col ills £36

The catalogue for the third edition of the Venice Design Biennial covers design, exhibition
practices, self-representation, and the city of Venice itself in an age when the physical and digital
are experiencing new fusions imbued with disorientation and the perception of nascent
conditions. The curatorial theme explores what design represents for individuals and, at the same
time, how we represent ourselves through it. Another focus is the impact of the global health
crisis, in which technology has tried to overcome the prolonged closure of exhibitions and
museums through the emergence of online solutions that aim to replace the direct experience of
cultural projects.

Happy Potato Press 2022 ISBN 9789083016160 Acqn 32544
Pb 11x15cm 128pp col ills £15.75

A cookbook with recipes consisting of just one ingredient. Is it even possible? Martijn in 't Veld
says that he loves cooking. But, just like everyone else, he doesn't always have the time for it. So
he composed this cookbook with his favourite single-ingredient recipes. Most of them are so
simple, you don't even need to eat them. From existential musings and clues for finding peace in
life, to creating humorous and uncomfortable (but in a good way) situations, these recipes will
amaze and delight. Combining influences from poetry, conceptual art, and children's books,
Martijn has been publishing a wide range of printed matter under the name of the Happy Potato
Press since its inception in 2019.

Faire - To look at things #38 - Special Issue - A debate: Jan van Toorn, Wim Crouwel
Editions Empire 2022 ISBN 9791095991298 Acqn 32554
Pb 21x29cm 64pp col ills £15.75

We are told that the hall of the Fodor Museum in Amsterdam, where the scene takes place on
this evening of November 9th 1972, was "smoky, noisy and crowded", and that the gathered
audience made its presence felt through "frequent shouting". The center of this fevered arena
hosted the encounter between two graphic designers, two graphistes, two typographers, Wim
Crouwel and Jan Van Toorn, in a country where their voices carry weight, where their thinking is
important. A meeting, a conversation, or rather a confrontation, a controversy; it has also been
described as a debate, one that characterizes the representations of our discipline in the 1980s
and that continues to echo today.
