Obsessive Consumption What Did You Buy Today? Kate Bingaman-Burt

Our daily lives are filled with consumption—$1.50 for a cup of coffee, $5.95 for a magazine, $17.99 for headphones, $1.79 for cough drops, $36.00 for a haircut. Whether bought out of necessity or indulgence, purchased alone or in a group, every- thing we buy has its own story to tell. We buy art supplies while feeling inspired, CDs while shopping with friends, and a new pair of jeans to give us a lift when we are feeling blue. Yet, these powerfully emotional experiences can be fleeting—quickly erased by the pull of the next “must-have” acquisition. In Obsessive Consumption, Portland-based artist Kate Bingaman- Burt holds up a mirror to her own obsession with shopping and acquisition. Faced with a mounting pile of postgraduation credit card debt, Bingaman-Burt concocted a unique artistic response to this all-too-common dilemma. She picked up a pen and began drawing her monthly credit card statements, painstakingly recreating every last ledger line and decimal point, vowing to continue serving her artistic penance until her debt was repaid. SHIPPING March 2010 As a relief from this project—turning the idea of “retail therapy” on its ear—Bingaman-Burt began drawing one of her purchases 6 X 8 IN / 15 X 20 CM 208 PP / 550 COLOR from each day, losing herself in the items, patterns, simple lines, paperback and typography. Obsessive Consumption represents a selection of three years 978-1-56898-890-0 $19.95 / £12.99 of Bingaman-Burt’s delightful ink drawings of sundry items. Accompanied by witty and insightful annotations, these drawings mock her own relationship with her purchases and put a personal face on the mass-produced items of our shared experience. Readers can catch a glimpse into the life of the artist from the collection, which includes wedding bands, a dog, a moving truck, handmade items from friends, Mississippi beer, Portland pizza, and lots of pens and drawing paper to support her drawing habit. A celebration of the beauty of the everyday, Obsessive Consumption presents a microcosm of consumer culture that will appeal to everyone from a thirteen-year-old mall- dweller to a middle-aged anticonsumerism advocate.

Cartographies of Time Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton

What does history look like? How do you draw time?

From the most ancient images to the contemporary, the line has served as the central figure in the representation of time. The linear metaphor is ubiquitous in everyday visual representations of time—in almanacs, calendars, charts, and graphs of all sorts. Even our everyday speech is filled with talk of time having a “before” and an “after” or being “long” and “short.” The timeline is such a familiar part of our mental furniture that it is sometimes hard to remember that we invented it in the first place. And yet, in its modern form, the timeline is not even 250 years old. The story of what came before has never been fully told, until now. Cartographies of Time is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. Authors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to SHIPPING march 2010 websites, Cartographies of Time features a wide variety of timelines

8.5 X 10.5 IN / 22 X 27 CM that in their own unique ways—curving, crossing, branching— 272 PP / 268 COLOR / 40 B+W defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long HARDCOVER timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a

978-1-56898-763-7 protective box. Another timeline uses the different parts of the $50.00 / £30.00 human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony. Ladders created by missionaries in eighteenth- century Oregon illustrate Bible stories in a vertical format to convert Native Americans. Also included is the April 1912 Marconi North Atlantic Communication chart, which tracked ships, including the Titanic, at points in time rather than by their geographic location, alongside little-known works by famous figures, including a historical chronology by the mapmaker Gerardus Mercator and a chronological board game patented by Mark Twain. Presented in a lavishly illustrated edition, Cartographies of Time is a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played in our evolving conception of history.

Bird Watching Paula McCartney

You have now before you a representation of one of the most richly coloured of birds, and one whose history is in some degree peculiar. —John James Audubon, The Birds of America

A spotted wren perches on the limb of a pine tree in a field of daisies. A song sparrow stands ready to take flight from a snow-covered limb against a winter landscape. For many, these descriptions depict quintessential experiences of nature. As photographs in a bird-watcher’s field journal they become something else entirely. Precious and desirable for being so rare, they transform into a kind of trophy that rewards the bird- watcher for his or her skill, tireless patience, and mastery over nature. At first glance, conceptual artist Paula McCartney’sBird Watching seems to be a most exemplary specimen of a bird- watching journal. Handwritten notations recording species, SHIPPING fEBRUARy 2010 location, size, and markings describe well-rendered and flaw- lessly composed photographs of a wide variety of passerines, or 8 X 10 IN / 20 X 25 CM 120 PP / 40 COLOR / 5 B+W perching birds, in their natural settings in locations across the HARdCOVER United States. Page after page of the most wonderfully diverse species of birds are perfectly posed in picturesque natural 978-1-56898-855-9 $50.00 / £30.00 settings—a bird-watcher’s dream. On second glance, however, the birds appear a bit too carefully arranged amid the tangle of brush and branches. An even closer look reveals stiff wire protrusions mounting each bird to its perch, matted tufts of overdyed faux feathers forming wings and splashes of paint creating eyes and beaks. McCartney has activated her atmospheric landscapes by adding synthetic decorative birds purchased at craft stores. This startling revela- tion has you wondering if the artificial might ultimately be more satisfying than the natural. Part document and part fiction, Paula McCartney’s Bird Watching is a fanciful, homespun field guide to a woodland twilight zone where our unconscious need to control nature is indulged and our search for an unattainable ideal natural experience is fulfilled. Featuring a design that mimics the tactility of a real bird-watching journal and including essays by Darius Himes and Karen Irvine, this book will appeal to the dreamy naturalist in all of us.

BEE Rose-Lynn Fisher with a foreword by Verlyn Klinkenborg

Of the ten million or so different species of insects on our planet, none is more fascinating than the honeybee. One of the oldest forms of animal life still in existence from the Neolithic Age, bees have been worshipped and mythologized since the begin- ning of human history. Known popularly for their industrious- ness (“as busy as a bee”) and highly valued for their role in agricultural pollination (every third bite we take depends on them), bees are now kept by a quarter-million beekeepers in the United States alone, and millions more around the world. Honeybees were the first creatures examined by seven- teenth-century scientists whose primitive microscopes suggested a complex system of construction. Now, magnified hundreds to thousands of times with a latest generation high-resolution scanning electron microscope, honeybees appear as architectural masterpieces—an elegant fusion of form and function. Melding art and science, photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher SHIPPING april 2010 puts this modern tool to creative use in order to reveal the 7.75 X 9.25 IN / 19.7 X 23.5 CM microscopic majesty of these natural wonders. BEE presents 128 PP / 60 B+W sixty astonishing photographs of honeybee anatomy in magnifi- hardcover cations ranging from 10x to 5000x. Rendered in stunning detail, 978-1-56898-944-0 Fisher’s photographs uncover the strange beauty of the honey- $29.95 / £19.99 bee’s pattern, form, and structure. Comprising 6,900 hexagonal lenses, their eyes resemble the structure of a honeycomb. The honeybee’s proboscis—a strawlike appendage used to suck nectar out of flowers, folds resembles a long, slender hairy tongue. Its six-legged exoskeleton is fuzzy with hairs that build up a static charge as the bee flies in order to electrically attract pollen. Wings clasp together with tiny hooks and a double-edged stinger resembles a serrated hypodermic needle. The honeybee’s three pairs of segmented legs are a revelation, with their antennae cleaners, sharp-pointed claws, and baskets to carry pollen to the hive. These visual discoveries, made otherworldly through Fisher’s lens, expand the boundaries of our thinking about the natural world and stimulate our imaginations. BEE features a foreword by nature writer and New York Times editorial board member Verlyn Klinkenborg.

Natural Houses The Residential Architecture of Andersson-Wise Arthur Andersson and Chris Wise

For Arthur Andersson and Chris Wise, the fundamental elements that give buildings meaning are found in nature. Imbuing day-to-day activities with poetry and awe, their designs address both pragmatic needs and the psychological yearning for refuge and contemplation, centering and escape, joy and comfort. Their work is best experienced through the senses. Tactility, expressed through an eloquence of craft, the use of textured materials, and the logical design of structural systems, gives their buildings a rightness within the landscape. In their hands, daylight becomes a building material. Small wall apertures, three-sided dormers, clerestories, and other details grab, bend, and thread sunlight from one end of their houses to the other. Full of light and atmosphere, the houses are the physical embodiment of the great Charles Moore’s influential SHIPPING april 2010 tenet that architecture is about enhancing a sense of place.

8 X 10.25 IN / 20 X 25 CM Natural Houses presents seven of the Austin, Texas–based 176 PP / 225 COLOR / 25 B+W firm’s exquisitely crafted projects. Precise and cool, with forms Hardcover often derived from the American vernacular of barns and

978-1-56898-879-5 cottages, these are painstakingly crafted houses made from $40.00 / £25.00 regionally appropriate and aesthetically timeless materials. Natural Houses presents a range of sites and residences—from a small cabin in the woods to a multibuilding camp. Sited on a cliff, the House Above Lake Austin uses terraces to descend its steeply hilly site. The building’s simple materials celebrate the site and climate not by drawing attention to themselves, but by blending in. The stone foundation is similarly tied to the natural stone of the mountain. Smooth plaster walls above the stone foundation appear to have been chiseled from the rock itself. In a deceptively simple boathouse the walls fold down to become impromptu diving platforms. Exceptional photography captures the light and atmosphere of each project setting and illustrates how the firm rigorously expresses the design concept through detailing and construction. An introduction by Rick Sundberg of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects and essays by Jen Renzi and Frederick Steiner chart the firm’s evolution and influences.

Modern North Architecture on the Frozen Edge Julie Decker

The geographic region around the North Pole is a raw and exotic area of untouched nature and inescapable beauty. Unique among the Earth’s ecosystems, it includes both a vast, ice-cov- ered ocean and a treeless region of tundra. Building in this extremely cold climate requires an advanced degree of ingenuity and resolve. Ecological conditions including high winds, snowdrifts, and permafrost, combined with periods of little or no sunlight, present seemingly impossible logistical hurdles. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of resident and invited architects creating buildings above 60 degrees latitude. The time has come for a new definition of a northern building––one that is both extraordinarily responsive to place and aesthetically provocative. In Modern North, author Julie Decker presents thirty-four of SHIPPING March 2010 the most compelling and far-ranging possibilities of contempo- 8.5 x 9 IN / 21.6 X 23 CM rary architecture in the North. These buildings—located in 240 PP / 315 COLOR / 135 B+W northern Canada, Scandinavia, and Alaska—are united in the hardcover way they embrace extreme conditions. Rather than shut them 978-1-56898-899-3 out, these conditions are welcomed and often formed into the $45.00 / £30.00 buildings’ structures and materials, as in the way architecture is employed to mediate the harshness of the low-lying sun without replacing it with the harshness of artificial lights. The architects of Modern North exploit the natural topography to provide visual stimulation in places that sometimes offer little more than a whitescape. Modern North includes innovative institutional and residential structures by both established and up-and-coming architects, including a-lab, David Chipperfield, Jarmund/ Vigsnæs, Studio Granda, Shim-Sutcliffe, and Snøhetta. Essays by Brian Carter, Juhani Pallasmaa, Edwin Crittenden, and Lisa Rochon place the projects in the context of a new architectural response to the North.

Newtown Creek A Photographic Survey of New York’s Industrial Waterway Anthony Hamboussi

Newtown Creek is a tributary of New York’s East River that forms part of the border between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Before the mid-1800s, this three-and-a-half-mile-long meandering creek flowed through wetlands and marshes rich in herbs, grasses, fish, waterfowl, and oysters. During the Industrial Revolution, when its volume of commercial shipping traffic exceeded that of the Mississippi River, the creek was widened,

SHIPPING march 2010 deepened, and bulkheaded to accommodate bigger barges, destroying all its freshwater sources. As one of the oldest 9.6 X 6.5 IN / 24.4 X 17 CM continuous industrial areas in the nation, it is now one of the 432 PP / 237 COLOR / 4 B+W HARDCOVER most polluted. The creek water contains hundreds of years of discarded toxins; an estimated thirty million gallons of spilled oil; 978-1-56898-858-0 raw sewage; and a fifteen-foot-thick layer of congealed sludge on $55.00 / £35.00 its bottom. It is a dead waterway—desolate in spots, disgusting in others, but far from abandoned. At the heart of the city’s industrial backyard, Newtown Creek hosts many uses critical to the functioning of an enormous metropolis—sewage treatment, waste transfer, scrap yards, tow pounds, warehousing, manufac- turing, and acres of heavy infrastructure. Yet, despite its role in the functioning of New York’s complex urban machinery, its waterfront is largely unknown to residents and visitors alike. Newtown Creek is the first extensive documentation of this forgotten landscape. Anthony Hamboussi’s five-year photo- graphic survey captures the creek at a critical moment when gentrification and revitalization are just starting to change the area. From the ruins of Morgan Oil Company and the Newtown Metal Corporation to the footprints of the former Maspeth gash- olders, Newtown Creek is a lost chapter in the visual history of industrial New York framed at the moment of its disappearance and transformation. An insightful essay by urban planner Paul Parkhill puts Hamboussi’s work into context.

Anthony Hamboussi is a photographer who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He is a recipient of numerous fellowships and has exhibited internationally.

Exploring Materials Creative Design for Everyday Objects Inna Alesina and Ellen Lupton

Materials are like words. The richer your design vocabulary, the more distinctive the design solutions you can express. Sketching ideas with a pencil or rendering them with computer software are useful experiences, but there is no substitute for confronting physical forms and materials directly. Exploring Materials is an action-oriented, accessible guide to design thinking that addresses both the “how” and “why” of product design. In place of the abstraction of pure forms or the whimsy of virtual objects, it encourages designers to make and test real objects in a studio environment. Best-selling author Ellen Lupton (Thinking with Type) and her colleague Inna Alesina examine materials from several points of view, including traditional uses, experimental uses, techniques and directions for prototyping with everyday objects, and environmental implications.

978-1-56898-768-2 for sitting and one for a method for carrying. By considering $35.00 / £20.00 what is needed instead of what specific product can be made, designers examine the methodology of designing. The core of the book is a visual glossary of thirty-two materials—from corru- gated cardboard to molded felt to plastic film. It highlights the materials’ behaviors and properties—which suggest different types of structure, surface, and connection—and it shows experimental uses of these materials, demonstrating how designers from around the world have exploited their character- istics in inventive ways. The book concludes with a section on making it real, moving beyond the prototype to create a product that can be manufactured and marketed. Exploring Materials contains everything designers need not only to jump-start their design process, but also to follow a project through from idea to prototype to finished object.

Inna Alesina is an independent product designer and a faculty member in the environmental design department at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
