Kovács -- Anton Parsons -- Maarten de Reus -- Peter St John -- Paula Scher -- Pierre di Sciullo -- Lawrence Weiner."This volume is an exploration of typographical installations created between the mid-twentieth century and the present day, selected from the most important works throughout the world."--Introduction."We are bombarded with words today. Public spaces are saturated with a discordant mix of messages, but sometimes a sentence, a word, or even an individual letter stops us in our tracks. LetterScapes features thirty-seven typographic installations in public spaces that demand attention with their graphic impact and communicative power. The installations can be found throughout the world, from the United States to Europe to Asia. Created in a variety of materials, they vary from huge signs on roofs to a stream of consciousness embedded in a road to structures that appear to be functional or decorative, but are in fact made up of letters of the alphabet. The book features projects by artists and designers including Joan Brossa, Maya Lin, Lawrence Weiner, Pentagram, and Paula Scher. Interviews provide insight into why the artists chose words over images to transmit the message, how the locations were chosen, how materials and typefaces were selected, and how each work connects with its "landscape." Specially drawn maps show the locations for all those interested in discovering this unique kind of public art for themselves."--Publisher's description.

Jenny Holzer : dust paintings. by Holzer, Jenny,1950-artist.(CARDINAL)179435; Cole, Henri,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)748418; Cheim & Read,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)227709;
Includes bibliographical references."Cheim & Read is pleased to present Dust Paintings, an exhibition of recent painting by Jenny Holzer. A catalogue with an essay by the poet Henri Cole accompanies the exhibition. Jenny Holzer has used government documents as a source for her work since 2004. Language has been Holzer's primary medium since the late 1970s. Placed on electric signs or stone benches, Holzer's text investigates how ideas are transformed from argument or opinion into fact. While her work has a conceptual base, she involves her viewer through what's intensely physical. Turning to government documents in 2004, months after the invasion of Iraq by the United States and the United Kingdom, Holzer tried to reconstruct the path to war from the language of its architects and executors. The documents painted most recently trace the political fallout and human wreckage in the global war on terror. Holzer's new works, hand-rendered, return flesh to events"--Provided by publisher.
