The American Art Book [Bok / Häftad]

Norway Calling, the book of contemporary Norwegian design, is a kind of answer to the question of why Norwegian design is arousing such pleasure and curiosity today the world over. It is the first book to mirror the exciting northern trend, introducing some of the principal figures and some of their most important projects - an excellent opportunity for design-lovers to acquaint themselves with the vigorous development of Norwegian design after such titans as Sverre Fehn, Grete Prytz Kittelsen and Arne Korsmo. After years of silence there proved to be a new, living world of Norwegian design. Now widley known designers and architects such as Snøhetta, Daniel Rybakken, Norway Says and Arne & Carlos bare witness to this forceful trend.

8 postcard books - 72 photos Scandinavia in a new perspective During the brightest time of the year, eight Scandinavian photojournalists jumped on separate trains and went on a collective interrail trip to explore Scandinavia. The result is a playful insight to Scandinavia today, presented in the form of eight postcard books. Seeking the familiar rather than the exotic, they went looking for stories in their own back yards: Sweden, Norway and Denmark.The eight photographers: Oddleiv Apneseth, Elin Berge, Johan Bävman, Pieter Ten Hoopen, Eivind H Natvig, Chris Maluszynski, Åsa Sjöström, and Knut Egil Wang formed new views of their home countries, sometimes challenging old stereotypes in the process. Letting their paths cross along the way, they explored and questioned their own ways of looking and telling stories as they for the first time worked side by side as photographers - making powerful use of their collective in working towards the common goal of the project. The result is a collection of photographic stories presented in the form of postcards from the road. A playful insight to Scandinavia today, signed Moment Agency. This first volume of Scandinavian Moments demonstrates the strength of working as a group of individual storytellers, and is the start of a series of group projects by Moment Agency, Scandinavia s leading photojournalist agency.

I was so amazed and honored to be included. It s so good to see the culture being embraced and spread around like this all across the world!   <b>Bun B</b> </p><p>That s a really dope one bro, all my Brooklyn n----s hitting me bout it. They love it.   <b>Prodigy</b>    </p><p>Every time I write a lyric about my city, it s like a little love note. But never in a million years did I think that those words would be printed up and hand delivered. I was beyond stoked. And when he posted those same lyrics on the walls of my favorite art gallery in the city next to a bunch of other MC s I respect?! That was the icing on my vegan cupcake. Thanks Jay Shells.  <b>Murs</b></p><p>At the time, Instagram was fairly new and s till mostly a photography app. I was running around historical locations in Queens taking pics for my account, when someone sent me a pic of the quote. I was like no way in hell. I drove to the location and took crazy pics. I was really proud to show everyone because South Jamaica is so influential to my career. <b>Pharoahe Monch</b> </p><p>Felt real good hearing and seeing my lyrics used for Rap Quotes signs by Jay Shells. What made it most special is for the people in my hood to be proud for me to be rappin naming the corners we stood on and the people we lost. <b>Thirstin Howl III </b> </p><p>My phone was blowing up the day my sign went up on the corner of the block I was raised on. My family was so proud. It meant and s till means a lot to me. I have a framed picture of it in my home.  <b>Tone Trump</b></p><p>I remember going back to my neighborhood to see the sign go up. It was a nostalgic moment to be standing next to the field where I played sports, behind the housing project building where I was raised. I took a photo and posted it. The next day it was stolen, that s Brownsville.  <b>Masta Ace</b> </p><p>When I first started seeing the Jay Shells street signs, I immediately thought about how the rhythm and poetry of hip hop has allowed generations to connect and travel the world using their imagination. I thought about the streets that I ve mentioned in my own stories, and how important they ve been to my development as a person and as an artist. I even imagined how some of my lyrics might look in this unique creative format, so I feel honored and s till a bit shocked that it manifested almost exactly as I saw it. Having my art presented in such an authentic and dynamic way means much more to me than having my name in corporate lights. Salute to Jay Shells.  <b>Rakaa (Iriscience), Dilated Peoples</b>  </p><p>Taking lyrics from well-known rap songs, artist Jay Shells creates street signs and installs them at the physical locations referenced on the tracks. The Rap Quotes project is one of the greatest hip-hop themed street art projects of all time ...  <b>Andrew Lasane, Complex </b> </p>

There is plenty of creativity within the international graffiti and street art scene. Writing text messages in public spaces has been a unique art form and a means of communication between humans for over 30,000 years. Many street artists work only with text, written messages or poems, and not necessarily only with colourful murals, styles, tags and logos. Street Messages is the first publication that delivers a deep insight into this literary form of expression in the world of global street art. The streets are full of artistic and poetic forms of expression messages written by graffiti and street artists. Street Messages offers a historic background to written messages in public spaces and introduces more than 80 artists from across the world who work exclusively or partly with text.The vast body of information and numerous exclusive quotes and words of wisdom makes Street Messages the first book to shed some light on this as yet undocumented form of street art culture. Features artwork by Banksy, Dolk, Ben Eine, Faith 47, Flint..., Kid Acne, Know Hope, Mobstr, Skki and many more. Nicholas Ganz aka Keinom is a freelance photographer and author from Essen, Germany. He started to paint in the streets in 1994 and has been documenting graffiti and street art ever since.

In 2006, he released Graffiti Women and went on to write several books about Burma/Myanmar.
