Remember the butterflies? Real or imagined or somewhere inbetween, this exhibition is your chance to revisit the colours, the shapes, almost the sounds and smells, of that lush, enchanted country. Roosters, tigers, tattoos, noodles...the subject matter is always timeless and universal, but at the same time indefinably Asian. Each piece approaches its subject from a fresh and playful perspective. These images are produced using a unique technique: it is a fusion of traditional, handcraft approaches, like paper layering, with more modern styles, such as Andy Warhol's blotted line. These pieces are thus a sort of feedback-loop of the traditional and the modern. Brought to you by SHS, directly from the hand of Piro, an Italian artist living on the Kho-San Road, Bangkok. -------------- ¿Alguna vez has estado en Tailandia? ¿Te acuerdas de las mariposas? Desde lo real, lo imaginario o incluso desde algún lugar entremedio, esta exposición recupera los colores, las formas y casi los sonidos y olores de ese encantador y exuberante país. Gallos, tigres, tatuajes, noodles.... Los temas tienen una vocación universal y se sitúan fuera de su tiempo, pero, a la vez, continúan siendo asiáticos de una manera indefinible. Cada pieza se acerca a su tema de una manera fresca y traviesa. Estas imágenes fueron producidas con una técnica única: la fusión de modos de hacer artesanales y tradicionales -como el papel plegado- con otros estilos modernos, como la línea borroneada de Andy Warhol. Así, estas piezas son una especie de loop que se retroalimenta de tradición y modernidad. Presentado por SHS y directamente de la mano de Piro, artista italiano que vive en Kho-San Road, Bangkok.

Atlases have been part of our intent to categorize and generalize the world. Human intellect rationalizes the immense continuum of its surroundings by means of categorizations, tables, and timelines. A book filled with dazzling trivia and curiosities, Julia Sturm's publication could be defined an adjourned Atlas, much like the first ones that popped up in the Age of Enlightenment. The New Atlas accomplishes its initial idea of embracing our national identities–in their economical, cultural and political aspects– and wrapping them in a fun, informative and immediate way. The reader is called to reason and confront with personal experience at every data stat. Have I ever stolen a flower? At what age did I leave my parent's house? What would I say if called to speak of another country in just a few words? Creative infographics interweave with photography and maps. But the publication doesn't stop at classic data mining, it explores very originally graphical qualities of each country, and other less obvious statistics. In a world less and less defined by boundaries, but evermore culturally mixed, The New Atlas represents a much needed re-visitation of the old-fashioned all-comprehensive atlas, to envision our countries but also ourselves.

When a visible, conscious bodily action is used to communicate particular messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel with spoken words, a whole new level of communication is reached, adding a more archaic and physical dimension. Author Alba Durana, collects, illustrates and describes over 300 gestures from countries around the world bringing them to life in a beautifully designed publication. The content is divided semantically, but also by country. The publication is a little treasure in itself, using different graphic design vectors, such as posters and stickers to deliver the information in a light and always attention-catching manner. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_12.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_12_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_13.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_13_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_17.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_17_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_18.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_18_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_19.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_19_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_20.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_20_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_23.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_23_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_30.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/1548933/WGG_promo_Page_30_o.jpg" align="left" /> pageTracker._trackPageview("/World-Gesture-Guide"); http://www.shspublishing.com/Oz http://www.shspublishing.com/following/shspublishing.com/Oz Fri, 01 Apr 2011 10:11:30 +0000 SHS | Publishing 1249455 Contemporary Graphic Design from Australia In recent years, after the national confidence boost that came with the Olympics, Australia has emerged as a vibrant contributor to international culture at all levels, with an impact relative to its small population (nineteen million) that other countries might envy.

The promise of the architectural model, the glitz and glam of the slick rendering rarely survive unscathed. The difference between the initial competition-winning design and the final built project are often miles apart. The story that takes place between these points is often one of melodrama and characters bigger than life. A typical story can involve megalomaniacal oil sheiks, bankrupt financiers, fickle changes of taste from clients, public backlash, political crises and more. R2R promises to unveil these stories from the some of world’s most prominent architects and their greatest buildings through interviews portraying the architects' perspective. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/335191/R2R.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="764" width_o="670" height_o="764" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/335191/R2R_o.jpg" align="left" /> pageTracker._trackPageview("/From-Render-to-Reality"); http://www.shspublishing.com/Amnesia http://www.shspublishing.com/following/shspublishing.com/Amnesia Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:35:01 +0000 SHS | Publishing 335160 The Architecture of Neglecting The acts of remembering and forgetting are under constant control and supervision by society. Generally it is remembering that finds itself manifesting into our physical world through architecture (monuments, buildings, etc.). Amnesia will attempt to document architectural projects that have been built specifically to ensure that the act of forgetting occurs. The rebuilding of the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem, the Pantheon becoming a church, and garbage dumps becoming parks are all examples to be found within this publication. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/335160/3058204501_0809750059_o.jpg" border="0" width="534" height="459" width_o="534" height_o="459" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/335160/3058204501_0809750059_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> The book will operate with mainly with photographs, maps, and other drawings necessary to explain the particular incident, event, or history that is meant to be forgotten.

The soft, easy to rip, remove and replace vinyl posters so common around New York subway tunnels are being targeted by an invisible army of urban artists. The game is simple: you only need to rip and paste these pieces of ordinary, boring-to-death advertisments and make something new out of them (the Sharpie you forgot to have in your pocket might just be the cherry on top…). Through the use of both professionally executed and amateur photographic documentation, spot-on interviews and art-historical contextualization, this book sets out to document and discuss subway poster collage and defacement, a creative re-elaboration on (and refusal of) the dull graphics and shallowness of commercial art that is quickly becoming the most widespread form of urban art in New York. Still largely a subterranean (and illegal) phenomenon it is quickly drawing attention to itself, re-canonizing what urban art is. Now–quite literally–surfacing in the first avant-garde galleries, the time is right for a detailed overview of the movement, catching its vibrant aesthetics and most prominent characters. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/Picture 33.png" border="0" width="670" height="475" width_o="875" height_o="621" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/Picture 33_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/Picture 35.png" border="0" width="670" height="474" width_o="876" height_o="620" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/Picture 35_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/missbugs1.jpg" border="0" width="561" height="462" width_o="561" height_o="462" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/24787/285740/missbugs1_o.jpg" align="left" /> Designed by Wondering Solo www.wonderingsolo.com Winner of the 2010 Paper Ideas design award pageTracker._trackPageview("/Rapid-Transit");
