Eija-Liisa Ahtila has manifested her role as one of the most important video artists of her generation on the international scene. Through the diversity of modern media she explores the topics of love, sexuality, wrath, identity, loneliness, seperation, vulnerability and death. Her tense, but precise stories tells us of human relations and circumstances - some ordinary, others extreme, but all deeply relevant.

Sterling Silver jewelry and tableware that was sold at the Jensen store in New York City included designs by American craftsmen, especially William De Matteo and Alphonse La Paglia, in the late 1940s. This is the story of these two silversmiths' work and its impact on fancy goods of the mid-20th century period. Silver tea sets, candelabra, centerpieces, bowls, serving spoons, and women’s jewelry sets were made in original designs that incorporated Danish styles for which the store was famous. Today, these are vintage items that are valuable and highly popular among collectors of fine traditional style decorative arts. Many identifying marks, catalog pages, and original advertisements are presented and discussed. Through newly found documentation, original working drawings, and careful analysis, these vintage silver items finally can be identified and appreciated for their specialty status among the finest luxury goods worldwide.

COLOR F .is Morten Andersen’s 10th book since the debut with FAST CITY in 1999. The book contains new work from Oslo and can be seen as a follow up to the long out of print OSLO F from 2005, but in colors....as opposed to the more direct and raw expression in his earlier b/w work. Maybe a softer temperature, but still irritated...pissed off maybe.

The New York City described by Morten Andersen in Jetlag and Alkohol is brutal, tragic, funny, filthy, and beautiful from the inside out, which is how Andersen experiences it, as a fearless explorer with a sincere desire to hear the stories of its inhabitants and to send them back out into the world as hauntingly beautiful black and white images. Taken in 1990 and 1991, Andersen's photographs depict the denizens of dark alleys, half-empty subway cars, all-night diners, and cheap bars with the gritty poetry of a Tom Waits song. With an introductory text in English by Terje Thorsen.

Blå skog/Blue Forest is the manifestation of his long running forest project, the woods seen in glimpses and openings towards something bigger, captured on tungsten film and in medium format. Through subjective color tones Andersen lets us see the the forest in an un-romantizised and alien fashion which begets a renewed fascination by the landscape.

This book is to inspire others to create their own textile pictures. Wiklund documents her time spent in Lappland, Sweden. She often went out into nature and painted with watercolors the nature surrounding her. From there she wove these pictures using different traditional techniques but also strayed from certain rules, using her imagination and creating new ideas. She gives advice on different weaving techniques and hopes the book will give inspiration for others to create their own unique patterns. Full color pictures included.
