  Phylogenesis foa's ark: foreign office architects

  by Bernard Cache, Manuel De Landa, Sandra Knapp, Sanford Kwinter, Detlef Mertins, Mark Wigley

  Phylogenesis --wait, we'll explain the title soon--is structured as a reflection on the work that Foreign Office Architects (FOA) has produced during its first 10 years of practice. With its genesis as a primarily speculative and academic endeavor, FOA has recently expended much energy in the development of a technical arsenal for implementing real projects. Such explorations have been undertaken through a series... (more)

  Lucian Freud (Basic Art)

  by Sebastian Smee

  British artist, Lucian Freud is widely considered the most important figurative painter working today. Master portraitist and specialist in nudes, Freud uses impasto to create depth and intensity while restraining his color palate to mostly muted hues. His portraits may be physically unflattering to their subjects, but they are honest, frank, and unapologetic. "I paint people," Freud has said, "not because of what... (more)

  Paul Klee : Tempel, Sta?dte, Pala?ste

  by Christine Hopfengart, Osamu Okuda, Paul Klee

  Between 1916 and 1925 Paul Klee (1879-1940) made some 50 hand puppets for his son, Felix, of which 30 are still in existence. For the heads, he used materials from his own household: beef bones and electrical outlets, bristle brushes, leftover bits of fur and nutshells. Soon he began to sew costumes. These characters and small works, do not pretend to be great art, but at the same time, they are superbly... (more)

  Hundertwasser: The Painter-King with the 5 Skins: The Power of Art (Taschen Art Album)

  by Pierre Restany

  "The rigid, straight line is fundamentally alien to humanity, life and the whole of creation". Hundertwasser applied this philosophy not only to the famous Viennese buildings for which he was renowned, but all the media and art-forms he has experimented with during his wild career. Whether it be painting, sculpture, performance art or designing a kindergarten, Hundertwasser's works are multi-coloured, organic, and... (more)

  Xo: A THEORY OF THE MORPHOLOGY-SYNTAX INTERACE.

  by Yafei Li

  This important monograph offers a resolution to the debate in theoretical linguistics over the role of syntactic head movement in word formation. It does so by synthesizing the syntactic and lexicalist approaches on the basis of the empirical data that support each side. In trying to determine how a morphologically complex word is formed in Universal Grammar, generative linguists have argued either that a... (more)

  Where Does Binding Theory Apply? (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs)

  by David Lebeaux

  This concise but wide-ranging monograph examines where the conditions of binding theory apply and in doing so considers the nature of phrase structure (in particular how case and theta roles apply) and the nature of the lexical/functional split. David Lebeaux begins with a revised formulation of binding theory. He reexamines Chomsky's conjecture that all conditions apply at the interfaces, in particular LF... (more)

  The Republic According to John Marshall Harlan

  by Linda Przybyszewski

  Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) is best known for condemning racial segregation in his dissent from Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, when he declared, "Our Constitution is color-blind." But in other judicial decisions—as well as in some areas of his life—Harlan's actions directly contradicted the essence of his famous statement. Similarly, Harlan was called the people's judge for favoring... (more)

  Pamphlet Architecture 27: Tooling (Pamphlet Architecture)

  by Benjamin Aranda

  We all know that today's architectural design has moved from the sketchpad to the screen-the era of the Mayline and the drafting board now seems downright Paleolithic-but techniques for using the computer not just as a tool for rendering but as a generative instrument remain woefully unexplored. In Tooling, the latest installment in our renowned Pamphlet Architecture series, the technologically progressive young... (more)
