Attenzione!

They say that a gesture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to speaking with your hands, the Italians speak volumes. This quirky handbook of Italian gestures, first published in 1958 by renowned Milanese artist and graphic designer Bruno Munari, will help the phalange-phobic decipher the unspoken language of gesturesa language not found in any dictionary. Charming black-and-white photos and wry captions evoke an Italy of days gone by. Speak Italian gives a little hand to anyone who has ever been at a loss for words.

Some Los Angeles Apartments

O livro de Eric Doeringer se baseia no livro de Ed Ruscha publicado em 1965. Ruscha se inspirou na banalidade das imagens de anúncios de imóveis. Eric Doeringer visitou os mesmos lugares e fez novas fotografias utilizando o mesmo ponto de vista. A maioria dos prédios ainda estavam praticamente sem modificações. O formato do livro imita o layout original, mas substitui as fotos de Ruscha pelas fotografias de apartamentos feitas por Doeringer.

“Ed Ruscha’s 1965 book Some Los Angeles Apartments features photographs of apartment buildings in Los Angeles. Ruscha was inspired by the “artless” photography featured in real estate listings. For my version, I visited the locations Ruscha had photographed and took photographs from the same vantage points. Most of the buildings still exist, some with cosmetic alterations, others remain virtually unchanged. The book’s format mimics Ruscha’s, but substitutes my photographs of the apartments.” Eric Doeringer

Galler’s work examines notions of media representation and of authorship and exchange around found materials from a position of societal critique and mass culture.

A collection of images of the artist’s own production since 1999 combined with those appropriated from newspaper and magazine images (the ‘Fires’)

Excerpts are taken from news-report images of global crises and political unrest that featured fires and which changed societal interactions beyond the affected regions.

Galler’s book references Ed Rucha’s 1964 bookwork ‘Various Small Fires.’
