Make New History⁣ Chicago Architecture Biennial ⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ Designed by #ZakGroup / Make New History, the companion publication to the 2017 Chicago #Architecture Biennial, invites speculation on the status and importance of historical material to the field of architecture today. The book brings together an eminent collection of historians, #curators and practitioners and features over a hundred artists and #architects from the exhibition. The 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial focuses on the efforts of contemporary architects to align their work with versions of history. The act of looking to the past to inform the present has always been central to architecture. The biennial and hence the book present the chance to consider anew the role history plays in the field today and to try to rethink this collective project of architecture. Being the largest architecture and #design exhibition in North America, the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial presents the altering global impact of innovation and #creativity regarding design and architecture. Visitors are invited to explore the impact and influence of architecture today and how it can and will make new history in different places all around the world.

The Archive in Black + White

Newly arrived and long awaited: "An Exhibition Always Hides Another Exhibition: Texts on Hans Ulrich Obrist" (Sternberg, 2019)

The third book of a series of books of work by and about Obrist, "An Exhibition Always Hides Another Exhibition" constructs a visual and verbal portrait of Obrist as both a curator and cultural interlocutor.  The texts include character sketches, scholarly notes, drawings, and personal anecdotes-- all of which attempt to give shape and form to two the questions--"who is HUO" and "What does HUO do?" Contributors include Etel Adnan, Daniel Birnbaum, Michael Diers, Jimmie Durham, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Giorgo Grigffa, Boris Groys, Koo Jeong A, Bruno Latour, Gerhard Richter, Agnès Varda, and others.  

 Our contribution is an essay entitled "The Obrist Factor," which traces the history of, and rationale behind, the Hans Ulrich Obrist archive of publications and publication projects we have been working on for the past 22 years.

 Like the first two volumes in the series, this one was also designed by the Zak Group in London, under the leadership of Zak Kyes.  The cover art is by Alex Katz.
