In the '90s there is no longer the golden rule of magazine design. While most magazines (weeklies and monthlies) maintain formats in which an array of editorial contents are placed, many "alternative" publications are experimenting with totally mutable design schemes, and sometimes overall sizes and shapes. For some, consistency has become the hobgoblin of creativity; for others it's a must. Magazines Inside and Out represents the diverse visual approach practiced today. This book shows how various methods are practiced; how current styles are reinterpreted by different designers; how unique design identities are established; and how conceptual thinking pervades the design of the best magazines.

Rachel Deering has her eyes on her toes: she wants to become a world-class ballerina. As a 14-year-old, she is already one of the best dancers in the country. Just as she prepares for an audition for an opening with a prestigious dance troupe, Rachel starts having some very disturbing symptoms. After collapsing at school, she has many tests and her doctor tells her the news: She has diabetes. Now her world consists of blood tests, insulin shots, a controlled diet, and constant fear that she will have a reaction and end up unable to dance—or worse.
The Grand Union was a leaderless improvisation group in SoHo in the 1970s that included people who became some of the biggest names in postmodern dance: Yvonne Rainer, Trisha Brown, Steve Paxton, Barbara Dilley, David Gordon, and Douglas Dunn. Together they unleashed a range of improvised forms from peaceful movement explorations to wildly imaginative collective fantasies. This book delves into the "collective genius" of Grand Union and explores their process of deep play. Drawing on hours of archival videotapes, Wendy Perron seeks to understand the ebb and flow of the performances. Includes 65 photographs.

LOCO在西班牙文裡解作狂熱 曾經有攝影家說過：「攝影，只能與孤獨為伍」，但今次LOCOsnap希望可以打破常規，在孤獨 的攝影路上並肩創作。我們三人取材及攝影風格截然不同，但作品背後都有一個共通點，就是對 生活的反思：現代人往往只關心和自己有關或感興趣的話題，從來對身邊的事物漠不關心，從不 加以細看，直至發現一切快將消失時，才去奮力保護。其實身邊有幾多人與事，每天正在無聲中 悄悄消失？每日溜過種種的畫面與感受，有幾多能留下印象？我們希望揭示一些常被香港 人遺忘忽略的地方：從沒人注意後街小巷，到街頭一剎那發生流逝的光影，由三位獨樹一格的寫 真狂人紀錄下來。讓觀眾觀看三種不一樣的私風景，感受攝影師內心私處的豐富想像。 LOCO Crazed in Spanish Former photographer once said: "Photography can only be with loneliness." But this time LOCOsnap hopes to break the routine and work side by side on a lonely photography road. The three of us are different in style and photographic style, but one thing in common behind the works is the reflection on life: the modern people tend to focus only on topics of their own interest or interest, and never pay close attention to the things around them. Look, until you find everything is going to disappear, only to protect. In fact, there are many people around the side, quietly disappear every day quietly? Slipping through the picture and feel every day, how many can make an impression? We hope to reveal some of the places that Hong Kong people often forget to ignore: no one noticed the back streets and lanes, and the passing of light and shadow on the streets was recorded by three unique photo-madmen. Let the audience watch three different private landscape, feel the rich imagination of the private part of the photographer.
"An engrossing and impossibly wide-ranging project . . . In The Free World, every seat is a good one." —Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post "The Free World sparkles. Fully original, beautifully written . . . One hopes Menand has a sequel in mind. The bar is set very high." —David Oshinsky, The New York Times Book Review | Editors' Choice One of The New York Times's 100 best books of 2021 | One of The Washington Post's 50 best nonfiction books of 2021 | A Mother Jones best book of 2021 In his follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Metaphysical Club, Louis Menand offers a new intellectual and cultural history of the postwar years The Cold War was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, in the broadest sense—economic and political, artistic and personal. In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar and critic Louis Menand tells the story of American culture in the pivotal years from the end of World War II to Vietnam and shows how changing economic, technological, and social forces put their mark on creations of the mind. How did elitism and an anti-totalitarian skepticism of passion and ideology give way to a new sensibility defined by freewheeling experimentation and loving the Beatles? How was the ideal of “freedom” applied to causes that ranged from anti-communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-creation via art and even crime? With the wit and insight familiar to readers of The Metaphysical Club and his New Yorker essays, Menand takes us inside Hannah Arendt’s Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Merce Cunningham and John Cage’s residencies at North Carolina’s Black Mountain College, and the Memphis studio where Sam Phillips and Elvis Presley created a new music for the American teenager. He examines the post war vogue for French existentialism, structuralism and post-structuralism, the rise of abstract expressionism and pop art, Allen Ginsberg’s friendship with Lionel Trilling, James Baldwin’s transformation into a Civil Right spokesman, Susan Sontag’s challenges to the New York Intellectuals, the defeat of obscenity laws, and the rise of the New Hollywood. Stressing the rich flow of ideas across the Atlantic, he also shows how Europeans played a vital role in promoting and influencing American art and entertainment. By the end of the Vietnam era, the American government had lost the moral prestige it enjoyed at the end of the Second World War, but America’s once-despised culture had become respected and adored. With unprecedented verve and range, this book explains how that happened.
