'An Equine Anthology' weeft niet-lineaire geschiedenissen, getuigenissen en interpretaties van de paardencultuur van het Amerikaanse Zuidwesten tot daarbuiten samen. In plaats van dubbelverhalen over het romantische en het mondaine, over persoonlijkheid en gebruik, presenteert An Equine Anthology de lezer een brede topografische kijk op het paard, een beeld dat veel verder reikt dan dat van de Amerikaanse mythologie. De bloemlezing van M12 combineert poëzie met onderzoeksmethoden die ingaan ...

The canon of western contemporary architecture has overlooked everyday, 'salaried' architecture - overwhelming as it may have turned out to be in our built environment - praising instead the solo designer and his ground-breaking work.

Since World War I, the social role of the architect (in terms both of his or her place in social hierarchies and of his or her contribution for social betterment) seems to have been primarily tested, and largely consolidated, in 'departmental architecture'. Yet...

In 'Before I Was Born', Tja Ling illustrates the story of her family’s journey from China to the Netherlands, between the 1930s and 1970s, in 14 interconnected pencil drawings. Out of respect and admiration for the way her (grand)- parents built a life for themselves with all the challenges they have had to face, migrating without any formal education or knowledge of the local language.

These drawings are a chronicle of pride, strength and respect. A narrative of a child discovering why he...

Het kookboek dat niet helemaal binnen het genre past en met een lege maag verwijst naar het broodnodige onzekere.

Nog een kookboek, zult u denken! De berg kookboeken is nog niet hoog genoeg! Maar beste hongerige lezer, één kookboek werd nog gemist; het kookboek dat niet helemaal binnen het genre past en met een lege maag verwijst naar het broodnodige onzeker. Een kookboek dat teruggrijpt op de alchemie. Omdat de gebiedende wijs zo hinderlijk is en uitgebuit dient te worden. Omdat de wereld...

SOLAR FUTURES: How to Design a Post-Fossil World with the Sun by solar designer Marjan van Aubel explores the future of solar energy.

Solar energy needs a new narrative – one that says goodbye to old perspectives and only talks about efficiency and the payback time of blue solar panels. This publication illustrates what we need to know to transition from solar technology to solar design using everyday integrated aesthetic solutions.

This publication is divided into three parts: the first pa...

Beginning in the Middle. Conversations on the Post-Soviet, edited and compiled by Elsbeth Dekker and Robbie Schweiger, explores the works, lives and travels of artists coming from a (post-) Soviet context. The conversations delve deeper into questions of art and (de)colonisation in countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia, most of which recently celebrated their 30th anniversary of independence.

Departing from Dutch collections and exhibitions, the conversations try to grapple with question...

Displace explores the process of entering into a dialogue with soil as a living entity. It offers an intimate insight into Elena Khurtova's artistic research and process during her residency at 3bisF, on the site of Montperrin Psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence, and delves into her personal connection with displaced soils.

Extending the sensitive experience of touching red and yellow soils into the materiality of the book, Elena Khurtova and graphic designer Tariq Heijboer experiment wit...

AgriValley is a long-term poetic study of Dutch agriculture. In her cinematographic representations, video artist Mirte van Duppen brings together various production landscapes as a social construct: here, humans and machines live and work side by side. The futuristic, almost dreamlike images give an insight into the enormous impact of technological innovation in the agricultural sector.

Van Duppen shows the contemporary landscape in associative analyses, using visual rhyme and essayistic cam...
