“Surface Disorder sees the release of the music from Jonathan Uliel Saldanha’s large-scale exhibition of the same name that occurred in Porto & Lisbon, (2024-25). As with much of his work, there is a Ballardian sense of a near-future in dystopia. And since we’re already living the apocalypse, there’s never a hidden moral to veer away from the torment. Instead, Uliel Saldanha dives into it and catalyzes it further. Information from Angels feels like a cunty John Dee AI (credited as The Mouth) becoming an oracle of information overload, accompanied by an instrumental bidirectionally that splits into a lush harmonic layer of blissful punctuated pads and another that is a speedy but subdued melodic bassline. The Mouth intones a 15-minute fever dream that flows through themes that have occupied Uliel Saldanha for quite some time. On Swarming the Pit, the intricacy of Jonathan Uliel Saldanha sonic wizardry is on full display. A constantly moving swarm of granulated particulates of sonic material morph into a variety of textures: coins or gunshell casings hit the floor, engines rev their monstrosity, rubber-like pulses are splayed into spectral blurs and pops. This is clearly an update on music conrète’s obsessions. The Mouth on the closing track, Wolf & Virus Dialogues, has a completely different texture from the first, alerting the listener to the uncanny nature of its genesis. Here the instrumental sounds are all triggered by the articulations of the voice: a weird unison, it serves as its own artificial accompaniment. The reiteration of a self-model (a rabid ‘my’) creates a greater tension between computational self-certainty and the terror of its inevitable actualization.”

“This book is the result of discourse, between Oliver Knight, Rory McGrath (OK-RM) and James Langdon, in London and Berlin. It was made and remade as an idea of itself: versions of it were spoken aloud, thought through, dismissed. It began to manifest in text before it had any material specifications. Its happening as an exhibition, in Hangzhou, concentrated it and gave it structure. Negotiation of its production as an industrial design object gave its pages gravity and specificity. In its final phase it became a collective pursuit of synchronicity, its sequences of technical parameters brought into rhythm with its content. This book is A Meaningful Order by OK-RM. Across its 328 pages it holds a new history of the distributed realities of design. It depicts designed objects on their own terms to give an account of vision, material, and curiosity—representing a selection of the vast archive of more than 16 years of work from OK-RM through an orchestration of the lithographic process with a special set of colours. It is a site for committed study and experimentation, away from the structures of academe. It generates examples, prototypes, and models. It stages a dialogue rendered in a designerly writing through 26 alphabetised chapters (A–Z). It is unashamedly performative in its play with language, direction, and story. It captures the ongoing conversation between the editors, who are makers and thinkers of design, including a long form discussion in the form of an interview with Jack Self and is introduced by Lila Matsumoto. In this social arena, the book is considered as everyday object and object of art. It examines designed objects and their meanings, which emerge from the interplay of form and context. What does it do? Why does it do it? How does it do it? It lays out new ideas about how designed objects relate to the cultures that they are borne from and the cultures they can create. It strives for transparency, but not at the cost of transcendence.”

“PRELUDE Transgression In The UK, by Toby Mott. This visual archive explores the UK’s fe**sh and transgressive scenes from the 1980s onwards, featuring material from Mott’s collection. The book includes pre-internet items, club flyers, posters, and fashion catalogues, documenting this underground movement. PRELUDE highlights the influence of publications like Skin Two magazine and clubs such as Torture Garden, where fashion, music, and art combined. Mott’s collection traces how leather, latex, punk, and goth subcultures moved from Soho to mainstream fashion. From London’s Kensington Market to Manchester’s Affleck’s Palace, this book offers a look into the culture that shaped ideas of self-expression. PRELUDE marks a movement that continues to challenge norms.”

“Shadow Play : A raw, elegant debut book from 20-year-old Louise Bourke—a window into the living, breathing goth subculture of London. Real people. Real scenes. Real shadows. Born in Acton, raised in chaos, and forged through foster care, Louise focuses her attention and art on the world she knows—goth clubs, tattoo culture, charity shop fashion, photography, late-night rituals, and quiet rebellion.Unfiltered. Unsentimental. Real people in a shadow world. A dark romance of the present. A story behind the eyeliner.“

“Personal correspondence between Genesis P-Orridge and Jean-Pierre Turmel over a fifteen-year period. This book pays tribute to one of counter-culture’s single most iconic figures of the past fifty odd years, someone who has over the course of he/r career influenced countless fellow artists and theorists. Comprised of an exclusive unpublished interview with the artist conducted by Nicolas Ballet in 2016, theoretical texts on he/r work, and archival documents from the personal collection of Jean-Pierre Turmel. Comprised theoretical texts on he/r work, and archival documents from the personal collection of Jean-Pierre Turmel. The Last Slogan offers a completely new perspective on the work of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.The book collects multiple letters sent by Genesis to Jean-Pierre Turmel from the mid-1970s till early 1990s. These unique personal archives provide an unequaled insight into Genesis Breyer P-Orridge’s life-long journey via a deeply intimate correspondence with a close friend and associate, an intellectual sparring-partner of sorts, in which the artist discusses he/r inner thoughts, strategies, doubts and plans without any of the usual control filters.”

“Peter Shire’s Grand Tour: A Snapshot of Design History, 1980–1989, edited by Christoph Radl, is a deeply personal photo diary chronicling the decade of Memphis—‘the last design revolution’, headed by maestro Ettore Sottsass, the leaning tower of Italian design. Peter didn’t know it at the time, but his snapshots of Italy in the ‘80s (with a sidequest to Vienna) were the serendipitous beginning, middle, and end of something big. Peter Shire’s Grand Tour pairs candid pictures with personal interludes to trace the heady, unpolished brilliance of a movement before it knew what it was. With the unwitting eye of a tourist-turned-historian, Peter’s camera captured it all—from Caravaggio at the Uffizi to storefronts of women’s lingerie shops and beautiful sunsets, alongside rogue selfies and a of Memphis Group legends including Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, and Matteo Thun. Christoph Radl, art director and graphic designer, moved to Milan in the ‘70s, getting his golden chance to work at the studio Sottsass Associati in 1980. From there, he went on to become the graphic designer of Memphis and has been friends with Peter ever since. ‘I was there too, and I had no idea what was going on … It took me many years before I finally started to understand what I’d been a witness to. But I didn’t take pictures. Fortunately, Peter did’. This book expands on Apartamento’s long-standing exploration of Memphis, Italian Radical Design, and their peripheries. It follows early features on Nathalie Du Pasquier, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Santi Caleca, Peter Shire himself, as well as conversations with Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra, and Lapo Binazzi, and more. Peter Shire’s Grand Tour offers an unfiltered snapshot into design history, seen through the eyes of a young artist who was simply living it—an outsider, in a way, on the inside. Looking outside-in or inside-out?”
