Madonna&rsquo;s sixty-city Confessions Tour, the most successful tour by a female performer in history, attracted sell-out crowds in the United States, Europe, and Japan, grossing over $260 million. From the elaborate sets to the star&rsquo;s spectacular costumes, and the controversies sparked by both, the tour generated headlines throughout the world. Guy Oseary, photographer and Madonna&rsquo;s comanager, accompanied her on every stop of the tour, capturing her public performances, adoring fans, and backstage moments. Created with Madonna&rsquo;s full cooperation, MADONNA: CONFESSIONS is an intimate, beautifully designed and produced keepsake album. MADONNA: CONFESSIONS showcases the provocative themes of her live performance&mdash;from equestrian to urban Bedouin, and from glam punk to disco fever&mdash;and celebrates whatTheNew York Timescalled &ldquo;the sheer spectacularity of her physical form.&rdquo; Giovanni Bianco, a New York-based Brazilian graphic designer much admired for his innovative ad campaigns for Dsquared, Missoni, Pepe Jeans, and other high-profile fashion brands, created all of the tour's tie-in materials and designed the book. Enhanced with Madonna's short, sassy interspersed quotes, CONFESSIONS is a matchless, must-have record of one of the highlights of her career.

“Often the process requires trying to find a suitable structure to capture a complex idea…a map of the entire universe as an architectural structure, all eleven dimensions of space, the world as it would have been if one little thing had been different, an algorithm for creating art proposals….” —Keith Tyson Head to Hand represents a selective survey of Keith Tyson’s drawings from the past eight years. It includes both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an idea that has been already mentally charted, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and in unanticipated directions. Though most artists use drawing as a means of transforming mental thought into a physical manifestation, the scope of Tyson’s use of drawing to define areas of investigation is uniquely adventurous and ambitious. It is the process of arriving at these proposals that defines the centrality of drawing for Keith Tyson’s work, and one that is made evidently manifest in this rare artist’s book published by Thea Westreich and Ethan Wagner.

No one is certain when pigeon-loathing began, but the anti-pigeon phenomenon has by now insinuated itself into every medium of popular culture. Whether in film, television, music, or advertising, pigeon eradication has become an accepted way to tug at a person’s funny bone. With Canceled Flight: 101 Tried True Pigeon Killin’ Methods, A.V. Jones has created an Anarchist Cookbook of comic relief for the worldwide pigeon-hating population. Conjured from Jones’ twisted brain, 101 surefire methods for speeding a pigeon’s journey to the grave are laid out for even the novice pigeon-despiser with lists of required materials and step-by-step guidelines. Every method has been brilliantly illustrated with the help of more than eighty-five of today’s hottest street-inspired painters, illustrators, designers, and photographers. Whether visualized in the pre- or post-death stages or at termination, each piece faithfully represents Jones’ methodology with incredible energy and originality: In “The Butcher,” a Dalek Space Monkey picks up a cleaver to “chop, chop, chop till he can’t chop no more,” and Cody Hudson’s “The Permanent Press” illustrates how two scorching hot irons can make a toasty pigeon sandwich in no time flat. An exhaustive compilation of execution, Canceled Flight is sure to provide the pigeon-killing technique perfect for you.
