No Waves in New Jersey

No Waves in New Jersey

Dimauro Danny

A love letter to the beaches and boardwalks of the Jersey Shore, this is the first visual history of the passionate surf culture that has thrived on the Atlantic coast of New Jersey, and its influence on the worlds of surfing, skateboarding, and beyond.

Often overlooked for the warmer waters of its Hawaiian and Californian counterparts, the Atlantic coast of New Jersey has inspired a surf culture all its own, and in turn has held unsung influence over the history of the sport in America.

Drawing on archives of photographs and ephemera from private collections, and from those held in the New Jersey Surf Museum and New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame, this is a celebration of East Coast surfing, from its pioneering beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century to its heyday in the 1980s as the scene converged with skateboarding and a shared influence on street style.

Alongside insightful texts that illuminate previously unheralded moments in the evolution of the sport, the book not only introduces some of the greatest unseen surf photography of the last century but also lets the Jersey Shore take its rightful place in the history of American surf culture.

His dream was to build a remote cabin in the woods that would be a silent retreat from the world. This is the story of how he created the ultimate hideaway, inspired by cabin-building practices around the world.

Throughout history, people around the world have built cabins as homes, nature-watching huts and even follies. In recent times, many have been drawn to cabin-building by a yearning to connect with nature and spend time in the wilderness. From the homes of indigenous peoples and the settlers of the New World to contemporary Nordic summer homes and artists’ retreats, the emotive lure of cabin-building shows no sign of abating. In this book, Will Jones explores the history and romance of cabin-building and delves into the architectural styles, vernacular idiosyncrasies and tools and techniques of historical and modern builders.

Weaving the personal story of his cabin build with illustrated practical know-how on everything from deciding on site and orientation, to foundations and interior design, Jones’s essential book is full of inspirational ideas. The urge to escape the city and live in nature has never been stronger. Part story, part history and part practical guide, this is the ultimate read for anyone dreaming of building a cabin of their own.

Maleri

Maleri

Tal R

Hvor begynder Tal R’s maleri?

Var det, da et par kunstnere fra Køln besøgte kunstakademiet i København i 1998? Var det mødet med 1990’ernes videokunstnere, der viste en ny vej for det figurative maleri? Eller begyndte det længe før akademitiden med et maleri af lyserøde nazister?

I mere end 25 år har Tal R været en uomgængelig figur på den danske kunstscene. Lige fra starten drømte han om at male og om at fortælle historier, også selvom tiden ikke var til ”den store fortælling” og da slet ikke i maleriet. Man måtte ”sidelæns ind i maleriet”, som Tal R udtrykker det. ‘Tal R Maleri’ er den første samlede præsentation af hans mangefacetterede maleriske praksis. Den følger det formskiftende maleri fra 1990’erne og frem til i dag, hvor Tal R er internationalt anerkendt som en markant fornyer af det figurative maleri.

Bogen er skrevet af Pernille Albrethsen, kunstkritiker på Weekendavisen og København-redaktør for det skandinaviske onlinemagasin Kunstkritikk. Hun har en cand.mag. i moderne kultur fra Københavns Universitet og New York University.

François Halard 3: New Vision

For the past four decades François Halard has had the most privileged view on the world of art, interior design, and culture. From his perch as the photographer of choice of Vogue to World of Interiors, he has captured many of the world’s most cherished spaces. Many of these have been catalogued in the first two volumes of his Rizzoli series. New Vision is the final of his three-volume magnum opus.

From film director Michelangelo Antonioni’s and actress Monica Vitti’s modernist hideaway in Sardenia to the painter Cy Twombly’s family retreat on the Italian coast, from Isamu Noguchi’s private studio in Japan to Luis Barragan’s lost masterpiece in Mexico, these are Halard’s most personal and intimate images yet published. Going beyond mere documentation, these photographs are the results of decades of a trained eye to see beyond the space into its essential soul. As the lover and collector of art and objects himself, each of Halard’s photo is a masterclass in acquiring by looking. Traversing between interior portraiture, authentication, and a cultural x-ray vision, the photographs collected here are a testament to a personal and unique visual imagination.

Pharell: Carbon, Pressure & Time: A Book of Jewels

With pieces drawn from the extensive personal collection of Pharrell Williams, this is a stunning and unprecedented exploration of the “bling” in hip-hop culture and fashion.

Few recording artists have had a greater hand in incorporating the culture of hip-hop into contemporary luxury than Pharrell Williams. Collaborating with Louis Vuitton nearly two decades ago, Pharrell was the first to have his designs integrated into the haute joaillerie of the great maisons. His innovative team-ups continue through to the present day, most memorably with Tiffany and Chanel, and the watchmaker Richard Mille.

The most extravagant of these chains, rings, and pendants—crafted in precious metals and studded with gems—are as much a part of Pharrell’s musical performance as they are of his personal style. His designs, which include one-off pieces such as solid-gold cases for mobile phones and handheld game consoles, have been legendary for featuring iconography of Pharrell’s own brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream.

This book was originally published with two different colored covers. Customers will be shipped either of the colors at random. 

Featured in the book are over 100 pieces, many of which he created in tandem with some of the most recognizable designers in the industry—such as Jacob & Co, Yoon & Verbal, and Lorraine Schwartz. With frequent collaborators such as NIGO® and Tyler the Creator, Pharrell discusses his role in the evolution of hip-hop jewelry, the processes involved in the creation of his one-of-a-kind custom pieces, and the state of connoisseurship in a growing market for the most extravagant of hip-hop collectibles.

Parklife Hideaways

Parklife Hideaways

Gestalten

Parkitecture, otherwise known as National Park Service Rustic, is the beloved architectural style of the U.S. national parks and the inspiration for this compilation of homes and off-grid hideaways nestled in some of North America’s most beautiful natural landscapes.

 

Made in collaboration with Parks Project, Parklife Hideaways shines a light on magical homes built to make minimal impact while celebrating the natural features of the surrounding landscapes and their transcendent vistas.

From the verdant forests of New York State and British Columbia to the snow-covered peaks of Alaska; from the sunset-blessed deserts of Arizona to the rugged California coast, these unique sanctuaries are a testament to conservation and how human design can partner with nature.

Among them are cabins, cozy nooks inspired by treehouses; A-frame structures and desert retreats open to the vastness of the sky. We look at the evolution of parkitecture styles over the decades, as well as the ways in which people adapt to living in remote places. And we meet some of the mavericks who make the dream of living in nature a daily, mindful reality, preserving it for generations to come.
