Vantage Point is a collaborative publication between American artist Daniel Everett and Swedish artist Mårten Lange.

The project started as a conversation in 2016 at an exhibition for Daniel’s book “Throughout the Universe in Perpetuity” (Études, 2015) during the ‘One Thousand Books’ Art Book Festival at the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. Mårten was in attendance and instantly recognized one of Daniel’s images. It turned out that he had taken the exact same image from the exact same place/vantage point that Daniel had, just a short time apart in Tokyo. This amazing coincidence prompted the two to begin working together to compile more images from their individual trips to Japan to be shown together in a book. In 2020 FOAM published an excerpt from the project in issue #56 and this book is the full compilation of images.

The Model Family

Published by Loose Joints, 2022

Intergenerational love, loss, trauma and joy are explored in a project mining the ambiguities of memory, through thirty years of the artist photographing her family.

Ellis Ritter’s first monograph The Model Family loops and deconstructs family photographs of the past and her own contemporary images, in the process confronting head-on the ambiguity of photography and its role in memory and identity. However, far from being a space of nostalgia, The Model Family explores family dynamics with unflinching detail: death, birth, conflict, divorce and sexuality mix matter-of-factly alongside conventional, aspirational nuclear normality: pets, marriage, smiling faces, deep summer evenings. In Ellis Ritter’s circular conception of the family, imperceptibly oscillating between the past and the present, the artist explores how the images of those closest to you are also often the most slippery, sliding just out of reach.

Erik Brunetti

Hardcover, 60 pages
26 x 32,5 cm

ISBN 978-88-971852-22

Language: English

Published by KALEIDOSCOPE, edited by Alessio Ascari, and designed by Swiss-based art direction firm Kasper-Florio, “Erik Brunetti: Oval Parody” is a new artist book published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title at Spazio Maiocchi, Milan.

Inspired by FUCT’s now defunct parody of the Ford logo—the iconic graphics that cemented Brunetti’s authority as the original subverter of what is now called streetwear, and played a key early role in establishing reappropriation as a fundamental gesture within its lexicon—“Oval Parody” centers on a new series of twelve acrylic paintings furthering Brunetti’s thought-provoking feedback loop of reference, interpretation, and creation.

Featuring an essay by Adam Wray, the book is punctuated by Brunetti’s annotations, first-hand anecdotes, and rarely-seen images stemming directly from FUCT’s archives.

Erik Brunetti (American, b. 1967) is an American artist, designer, and founder of the cult Los Angeles brand FUCT.

The Biography
The Directory
Two volumes in slipcase
Design Director: Tony Brook
Design: SPIN
Writer: Adrian Shaughnessy
Text editor: Mark Sinclair

Five years in the making, Pentagram: Living by Design (two volumes) is the definitive statement on 50 years of Pentagram. It is an in-depth survey of the group from its beginnings in 1970s London to its current status as one of the powerhouses of international design.

Published in two densely illustrated volumes and spread over 1400 pages, it is a limited-edition of 1000 copies.

Book one, The Biography, offers a comprehensive analysis of the group, its partners, its achievements, its multidisciplinary approach, and its unique business model. This is accompanied by a plethora of images (some never published), a visual essay of Pentagram’s work across four main sectors, a selection of partners writings, a Pentagram family tree, and much more.

Book two, The Directory, has profiles of 50 partners, past and present, accompanied by extensive coverage of their work. It’s a stellar roll call: from the five famous founders to some of the most celebrated names in contemporary design. It also includes a list of everyone who worked in the firm’s various offices.

Both books are designed by Tony Brook and the Spin design team and use a range of paper stocks and special colours.
