Look-See

The Learning to See series by Peter Jenny, recently released from Princeton Architectural Press, is a series of art books filled with elegantly simple exercises. These books are pocket-sized, perfectly fitting into your bag.

The exercises, simple and elegant – such as finding patterns in the palm of your hand or drawing what you hear – are designed precisely to make you acutely aware of the world around you, to see patterns, shapes, light and dark. These books are deceptive in their simplicity, because the mere act of drawing what you hear or deconstructing an object into its elemental shapes gives you the space to focus on perception and imagination – to hone your artist’s eye. The author puts it best:

“This little book aims to open your eyes to the incidental, to the suggestions of images in everyday objects, to the beauty in the ordinary.”

Simple Surface

The Dyvel Table consists of two parallel glass surfaces held in tension by four wooden legs.

"Textiles belong to a technical, highly specialized world—one that’s not nearly as appreciated, by institutions or by the general public, as it should be."

Seth Siegelaub on collecting textiles in the March issue of Artforum.

Map Quest

“Cartographies of Time,” published by Princeton Architectural Press, is an eye-popping record of the ways that mapmakers, chronologists, artists and other infographics geeks have tried to convey the passage of time visually. “What does history look like?” the coauthors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton write in their introduction. “How do you draw time?”

All of us are familiar with the old-fashioned timelines showing the march from antiquity to the industrial age, and Rosenberg and Grafton include some gorgeous examples.

Tales of the Night

  

Tales of the Night , Michel Ocelot (Kirikou and the Sorceress, Azur & Asmar)'s film extends the earlier shadow puppet style of Ocelot’s Princes and Princesses, with black silhouetted characters set off against exquisitely detailed Day-Glo backgrounds bursting with color and kaleidoscopic patterns.

The film weaves together six exotic fables each unfolding in a unique locale, from Tibet, to medieval Europe, an Aztec kingdom, the African plains, and even the Land of the Dead.
