"Wittgenstein’s dictionary for children: a rare and intriguing addition to the philosopher’s corpus, in English for the first time“I had never thought the dictionaries would be so frightfully expensive. I think, if I live long enough, I will produce a small dictionary for elementary schools. It appears to me to be an urgent need.” –Ludwig WittgensteinIn 1925, Ludwig Wittgenstein, arguably one of the most influential philosophers of the 2 ..."

"Drawing on the language and conventions of media and advertizing, Israeli-born artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) focuses his attention on the surfaces and histories of the things and people he captures. The first monograph devoted to his work, this volume surveys Lassry's visually seductive photographs and films, which thematize the relationship between the image and the picture as an object."
"Finally Available~Since 1992, Dia has presented the Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art. Like the Foundation's "Discussions in Contemporary Culture" symposia series, the Lehman lectures are an example of Dia's ongoing commitment to cross-disciplinary critical and intellectual discourse.

"One of the pioneers of performance and multimedia work, constantly cited as key to the burgeoning postwar genres now considered standard fare in art galleries and museums, Robert Whitman's work of the 1960s and 70s has long been inaccessible because of its ephemeral nature. This publication and the exhibition it accompanies are the first to reexamine his seminal early work, begun under the influence of Allan Kaprow in the late 50s. Earl ..."

"A do-it-yourself magazine, Charley is an inclusive publication relying on assimilation, rather than on selection: Charley is a machine for redistribution, a mechanism for spreading and exploiting information, rumors, and communication. Like most information, it is partial, unstable, and untrustworthy. There are no hierarchies and no favorites in Charley; it flirts equally with celebrity and failure. Charley is a multiform creature, boun ..."

"Wade Guyton (b. 1972, Indiana), Seth Price (b. 1973, Jerusalem), Josh Smith (b. 1976, Tennessee) and Kelley Walker (b. 1969, Georgia) work both together and apart in New York.

This, their first book together, ..."
