In reading all the theoretical contributions to this book, an essentially common idea of the social can be observed which is of fundamental importance for a new definition of artistic production: a process-related order of institutionalized actions, including the linguistic actions to which individuals are exposed. For here, in the repetition of such institutionalized acts, is where subjects first emerge at all. Objects, whether they be objects of everyday use or whole architectures, are like moulds which provide for the institutionalization of actions. The artist emerges as a social figure, as the product of a society and the agent of political interests. From this point of view, the status of objects, the status of the work” is not the expression of a circumscribed meaning, but the instrument of forming a subject. The opposition of theory and practice becomes obsolete. Subject and object are meaning written into actions.

<p>This richly photographed collection follows the arc of change in the peaceful Sleeping Bear Bay region in Michigan from its late 19th- and early 20th-century fishing and farming beginnings through the evolution of an idyllic boys’ camp and boarding school between the 1920s and the 1960s, and eventually to the resort that develops alongside. Organized by year, the book captures the daily life of campers and students as they learn Latin, build boats, study aeronautics, grow vegetables, and raise animals. As they move toward adulthood, so does the region, which today is marked by a thriving vacation industry.</p>

<p>Each day brings another deluge of images, and with this overproduction can come a panicky sensation that the meaning of images is draining away. The urge to divert the flow has given rise to a new international wave of collage-making. This is the first monograph to focus exclusively on the prolific collage output of Sergei Sviatchenko, a leading figure in the contemporary collage world. Edited by Rick Poynor, who provides a critical overview, it gathers Sviatchenko's most significant work from the past 10 years and shows little-seen collages from his early years in Ukraine before he moved in 1990 to live and work in Denmark. The severe reductiveness of Sviatchenko's interventions sets them apart. Collages from his long-running Less series consist of only two or three elements floating on a jarringly bright background. The fewer fragments he allows himself to work with, the more crucial the acts of selection, excision, and montage become. His strangely dislocated and sometimes otherworldly inventions offer moments of unexpected balance and repose in the tempestuous image-stream.</p>

<p><div>Looking at Japanese gardens will quickly reveal that they cannot be viewed as isolated from other art forms or social processes. Concepts of various origins converge in them, all aimed at creating a balance in their arrangement of the elements of the mental and physical world. The Japanese garden thus appears neither void and contemplative nor purely aesthetic, but a social compendium that contains stories about an order that lies at the very foundation of a society--it is a total work of art and applied philosophy. The Viennese art historian and cultural scientist Carola Platzek takes an eleventh-century Japanese gardening manual as a starting point for her exploration of the history of Japanese gardens. The essence of the Sakuteiki still holds true today: only the precise observation of nature will warrant a garden design that is in harmony with its environment. Platzek spoke with gardeners, garden historians, a sound researcher as well as Buddhist and Shinto priests about their work with traditional and modern concepts that shape Japanese design. The book introduces readers to systems such as the Sakuteiki, the Tea Way, the Eight Views genre, and waka poetry, presenting them in a way that makes their interconnections accessible.</div></p>
