<p>Dutch avant-garde artist Jacqueline de Jong (b. 1939) is best known for her involvement in the Situationist International and for her lively, monumental paintings. Her varied, six-decade-long career has encompassed drawing, graphic design, sculpture, jewelry, printmaking, and books, as well as the magazine <i>The Situationist Times</i>, which she edited from 1962-1967. This volume features large-scale reproductions of her works, much of it newly photographed, allowing the reader to appreciate de Jong's keen attention to color and the values of opacity and transparency of paint. An international team of writers and curators offer a panoply of perspectives on the artist's remarkable work and long career.</p>

"A kind of imaginary city-in-a-book dreamt up by Spanish artist Alicia Framis, Wax and Jardins brings together 28 artists, architects, and writers*including Mariko Mori, Otto Berchem, and members of MVRDV, among many others*in order to examine mental and physical loneliness, especially within the context of urban life and the urban landscape. The book looks into the strange dissociating effect of contemporary life, from Richard Billingham's photographs of his alcoholic father smiling drunkenly into the camera to Mori's futuristic mise-en-sc ne to Phillipe Terrier Hermann's pictures of lone office workers isolated in their pristine chambers. Part artist's book, part collection of found images and part exhibition, Wax and Jardins is a moving and original exploration of the somber and melancholy underbelly of the age of information."

Accept and submit unreservedly or walk away: these are the choices that Jennifer Tee's work presents to its viewers. With an "all-over" approach, the Dutch-born artist draws from a variety of disciplines and installations that integrate video, objects, photographs, and text. Tee often uses autobiographic material in her work. In her Down the Chimney exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, she displayed a video based on stories that her closest family members had kept to themselves--stories that they never wanted to tell her. This book provides insight into this personal and autobiographical body of work, and engages its readers in the narration of worlds created within.
