For the past twenty years, New York-based design gallery R & Company has been a pioneer in discovering, curating, archiving, and presenting rare, exceptional, and iconic works to individuals and institutions. Through their groundbreaking exhibitions and publications, the gallery has been at the forefront of the collectible design movement. Published on the occasion of R & Company’s twentieth anniversary, this book offers new critical perspectives on the designers, themes, and emerging trends R & Company has uncovered, re-discovered, and elevated, including: the emergence of a market for Brazilian design; the championing of un-heralded American mid-century masters; the fostering of a material-focused contemporary design program; and the gallery’s passion for so-called “difficult” design. Unfolding through essays from leading writers on art, design, and craft, and illustrated by hundreds of archival, new, and behind-the-scenes gallery images, interior photos of collectors’ homes, and designers’ studios, it is a dynamic overview of the design market’s explosive past two decades, and its vibrant future. Featured designers include Wendell Castle, Rogan Gregory, Greta Magnusson Grossman, The Haas Brothers, Verner Panton, Sergio Rodrigues, Katie Stout, Studio65, Joaquim Tenreiro, Thaddeus Wolfe, Jeff Zimmerman and many more.:

Software art is a practice that rewards software as a cultural phenomenon that defines one of the principal domains of our existence today. Thus, software is not regarded as an invisible layer, but rather as a decisive level and a language working at reproduction of certain orders, whether aesthetic, cultural, social or political. Software art creatively questions and redefines software and its ways of functioning, thus, influencing on composition and functioning of the basic infrastructures of digital society. In that way, software cultures become inseparable from digital work, social institutions and cultural manifestations of today.

For Ebeltoft’s 700 year jubilee in 2001, this exhibition celebrated a varied spectrum of glass art that, in one way or another, is based on a religious subject or theme. Because this definition is open and accepting of many directions and interpretations of religion, the viewer must, at times, be probed to discover themselves how a piece has been infused with a religious aspect. An exciting exploration of the relationship between contemporary glass and religion.

In the winter of 1996-97, four Swedish and two British artists took part in an exhibition with Torbjörn Lenskog’s collection of 20th century products at the Swedish National Museum of Art. The collection was the result of a passionate design expert’s taste for the looks of industrial modernism. But it also provided a telling example of the difficulties of classifying design into styles, epochs, and ideals. Various interviews in this work address everything from the mentality of collecting, through modernism’s ideologies of purity and cleanliness, to the cultural malleability of industrial products. This CD-ROM is a short encyclopedic text for historical design. Included are two CD-ROMs with 60 documentary film clips, 400 photos, and 100 Quicktime VR Objects, as well as one 45 RPM LP containing music.
