Composite Journal #2 ffiXXed Perimeter Editions 2015 no ISBN Acqn 25133 Pb 20x27cm 64pp 110ills 100col 13.50 Published in conjunction with Perimeter Editions, Composite Journal delves into the work and life of a single creative practitioner per issue, teasing out an artists practice and its underpinnings from a diverse series of vantages, positions and perspectives. Following the inaugural issue, which traced the oeuvre of celebrated Belgian photographer Jan Kempenaers, issue #2 explores the output, history and creative philosophy of collaborative fashion label and art project ffiXXed. Based at the foot of Wutong Mountain, outside of Shenzhen, China, the label which won the International Woolmark Prize in 2014 is the product of a relationship that is at once personal, creative and propositional. Existing both inside and outside the fashion world, ffiXXed's Australian-raised design duo Fiona Lau and Kain Picken frame their unisex ready-to-wear collections as a context for various investigations into concerns surrounding lifestyle, modes of production, consumption and the limits of the garment as functional object. The issue features contributions from Cameron Allan McKean (TOO MUCH magazine), curator Kim Brockett and several others.

Furniture Of The Fogo Island Inn Sternberg Press 2015 ISBN 9783956791543 Acqn 25154 Pb 15x21cm 144pp 88col ills 14.50 This unique publication, filled with annotated images, presents an inventory of design, furniture, and textiles produced for Fogo Island Inn. Each piece is a collaborative effort between artisans and craftspeople living on the island and designers from various parts of the world who were invited to engage with the history and communities of Fogo Island and Change Islands in Newfoundland, Canada. Connecting to hospitality and its import on the island, the project attempts to preserve local heritage, foster the arts, and to stimulate an entrepreneurial culture of art and design as well as international dialogue. The furniture and textile pieces featured in the book, which are inventive and resourceful in their use of regional materials, respond to the unique environment of Fogo Island. Categorized under themes such as traditional, minimal, tactile, functional, pattern, and fancy, each function as both object and artefact. As a point of exchange and means toward self-sufficient community building, this project also serves as a model for resistance against the homogenization in design by focusing on a particular place and time that is expressed through form, colour, and material. The book includes a text by Joseph Kellner about the project, and an essay by Walter W. Peddle on the history and development of vernacular furniture design in Newfoundland.

Jewels Of Ancient Nubia MFA Publications 2015 ISBN 9780878468072 Acqn 23883 Hb 20x28cm 240pp 150col ills 34 Located at the intersection of trade routes from central Africa, the ancient Near East and the Classical world, ancient Nubia ruled the entire Nile Valley at the height of its power in the eighth century B.C. Its neighbour and frequent rival Egypt called it "the gold lands" because its territories held such an abundance of the precious metal, and because its inhabitants produced some of the most finely crafted jewellery of the ancient world. This book features over 100 adornments and personal accessories from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which houses the finest collection of Nubian jewellery outside Khartoum. The first comprehensive introduction to the sophisticated jewels of this great empire, it reveals how Nubian artisans employed techniques that would not be reinvented in Europe for another two thousand years, and how the original owners valued such possessions not only for their inherent beauty, but also because they were imbued with magical meanings. Exquisite photography and an authoritative history written by leading experts make this book essential for both jewellery aficionados and anyone interested in the great cultures of the ancient world.
