Taking readers on an unpredictable journey, the book offers a subjective view of the baroque palace and its formal gardens. Photographs of the artworks, taken by Anders Sune Berg, converse with images of the site shot by the artist himself. A special series of abstract drawings by Eliasson, created for the book, react to instructions written by Louis XIV on how to view the gardens of Versailles. The book invites readers to drift through the palace, gardens, and exhibition, at night and during the day, to explore the rich other side of Versailles.

History & Criticism

A rare and intimate portrait of Albers in the classroom Legendary for his tenure at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale, Josef Albers (1888-1976) was one of the most influential art educators of the 20th century. Between 1953 and 1955, Albers taught several preliminary design courses at the Ulm School of Design (HfG) in Germany. Swiss photographer Hans G. Conrad (born 1926), then a student at HfG, documented Albers' teaching in an extensive series of over 400 photographs, depicting his lectures to and interactions with the students. These images are published here for the first time in their entirety. Juxtaposed with around 80 works on paper by Conrad from Albers' exercise on "Interaction of Color," they create a multifaceted and lively portrait of Albers in action teaching the fundamentals of art and design.

A decade of colorful furniture, lighting and objects from the Belgian design duo 
Belgian design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen have worked together since 2011, drawing inspiration from their respective family roots to create an innovative and minimalistic modern furniture collection. The pair’s use of simple industrial materials in combination with a rich color palette has created an influential body of work. The duo has achieved significant commercial fame in recent years with major brand collaborations from Hermès to Airbnb, as well as accessibly priced capsule collections of design objects with stores such as Hay and Matter NYC.\nThrough conversations and visual references, this publication unveils the origins and complexities of, and the references embedded in, the DNA of Muller Van Severen's work. Curator Jan Boelen explores the designers' universe through interviews with them, alongside curator and critic Beatrice Galilee, and architects Arno Brandhublr and Sam Chermayeff.
