The journal whose very name promises more to come delivers two issues this season. There aren't too many places to find intelligent, passionate, and witty writing about the past, present, and future of visual culture. Dot Dot Dot , the brilliant journal edited by Stuart Bailey and Peter Bilak, is one of the few we've found, and we're happy to be able to present it in our catalog. Issue 8 contains articles by Ryan Gander, Paul Elliman, Stuart Bailey, Diedrich Diederichsen, Anna Gwendoline Jackson, Momus, Brian McMullen, Antonin Kosik, David Reinfurt, Graham Meyer, Katherine Gillieson, Karel Martens, and Peter Bilak, among others. Articles range from "Why Are All These BooksOrange?" to "A Coming of Age Reading Checklist" to "City Turned Upside Down" and concluding with "About Nothing, Really."
I enjoyed the first half of the essay about Stewart Brand. While having read “How Buildings Learn” a few years ago, I didn’t know the scope of Brand’s life and work. It has inspired me to investigate his work further and attempt to obtain copies of the Whole Earth Catalog.
“Towards a Representations of the English Breakfast as a Modular System”, indulged my love for ultra-dry British design humor.
