Reading Until I Sleep: Manuel Raeder.
Author: Joel Mu

Reading Until I Sleep reflects on the work of designer and publisher Manuel Raeder. His practice unfolds between readers and books, artists and places, bodies and infrastructures, materials and memories, working with objects that bear their histories openly and resist disposability by insisting on the ongoing life of things. The essay brings multiple perspectives into contact with the inequities that determine who can work, rest, make and be seen; within this landscape, Raeder’s practice, like reading and sleep, becomes an act of resistance, an interval that reopens the possibility of relation, autonomy and care. Across two decades he has developed a distinctive body of work spanning books, furniture, textiles, exhibitions and long-term collaborations, founding Studio Manuel Raeder and remaining co-founder of BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE, which continues as a collaborative team based in his Berlin studio.

The Billboard Image: In, Around and About. Author: Rica Cerbarano
——
Billboards are urban devices with significant potential for exploring the mechanisms that shape our perception of photographs in everyday life. As ‘contemporary visual monuments’ accessible to all, they foster open discussions about the everyday imagery that permeates that permeates our field of vision in public spaces. Drawing from an awareness of photography’s essential role in defining both personal identity and social belonging, this publication explores various practices: the rise of billboards as sought-after advertising spaces, the work of historical and contemporary artists who engage with them as sites of reflection, and cultural initiatives that transform them into a democratic exhibition format.
In an era dominated by online image consumption, ‘The Billboard Image: In, Around and About’ emphasizes the importance of bringing the focus back to the experience in physical space and cultivating consciousness of the photographs we passively encounter in the public realm—the place where opinions, value systems, power dynamics, and civic consciousness take shape. As public spaces become more fragmented by privatization, gentrification, and individualism, understanding the role of billboards in transforming urban space and, crucially, our collective imagination, is an essential step in reclaiming the spaces we inhabit.

Scene 1: The painter-iconographer “describes any subject through drawing.” Working in a studio or, from direct observation, in the midst of nature, they produce an image based on an object. They were already engaged in what Erwin Panofsky referred to as iconographies.
Scene 2: The painter-iconographer creates an image based on another image or metaphorical text, such as a painting, a photograph, or even an ekphrasis. In other words, the most complete possible textual representation or depiction of an image was one of the primary means of distributing it.
Scene 3: The artist—and no longer exclusively the painter-iconographer—selects an existing, “ready-made” image. In doing so, the artist becomes part of the body of professions linked to the multiplicity of images. The artist becomes a kind of librarian, curator, artistic director, editor: an iconographer aligned with what typographers and graphic designers have long asserted as an inherent means of regenerating the old tradition of illustration.
Scene 4: What happens, then, when contemporary graphic designers appear to take up the torch of an iconography that so-called iconographer-artists had already reclaimed—since the beginning of the last century—from graphic designers themselves, along with their culture and skills?

n°52 — A Mode of Representation: 3D. Author: Manon Bruet + carte blanche by Harriet Davey


Through a combination of critical texts and a visual essay, this issue of Faire explores 3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics. From the early visuals used as Mac screensavers to the creation of entirely virtual worlds, this issue aims to examine various approaches to representing reality and to highlight some of the aesthetic and economic issues associated with the development of this now indispensable method of image production.

n°52 — Un mode de représentation : la 3D. Auteure : Manon Bruet + illustrations de Harriet Davey

À travers l’articulation de textes critiques et d’un essai visuel, ce numéro de la r***e Faire s’intéresse à la 3D, aussi appelée synthèse d’images tridimensionnelles.
Des premiers visuels utilisés comme économiseurs d’écran Mac à la création de monde totalement virtuels, il s’agira d’explorer plusieurs postures face à la représentation du réel et de mettre en lumière certains des enjeux esthétiques et économiques liés au développement de ce mode de fabrication d’images désormais devenu incontournable.

50— A Site: The Palace of Typographic Masonry. 
Authors: Thierry Chancogne & Richard Niessen 

The “About” section of the Palace of Typographic Masonry website reads as follows: “The Palace of Typographic Masonry was established as a foundation on May 15, 2018. The foundation pursues the following objectives:
1. Provide a physical and/or virtual environment for the creation of graphic design and a platform for the publication and presentation of associated work-graphic or otherwise;
2. Build a reference framework for graphic design;
3. Familiarize a diverse audience with a varied and relevant graphic design landscape;
4. Draw attention to graphic design as a unique discipline and profession;
5. Promote the recognition of individuals who have proven important to graphie design as a profession and/or the development of the field.”
Over the course of four epistolary exchanges, Thierry Chancogne and Richard Niessen have a palatial discussion of the content, issues, and the principles of classification of this palace of “the splendor and variety of graphic languages,” a place dedicated to the promotion, dissemination, and support of an open and adventurous approach to our discipline of graphism, graphic design, and typography.

🧶 issue 49 is now available🎩
— Lawrence Weiner: We Are Ships at Sea, Not Ducks On a Pond. 
Author: Joris Kritis 
with interviews with & Linda van Deursen

Lawrence Weiner’s use of graphic design has always been of fascination for graphic designers. ‘What makes Weiner’s work seductive to graphic designers is his resolutely non-apologetic method of displaying words without need for any explanation.’* But in this text a comparative analysis is made of different voices about Weiner’s use of graphics & typography. Next to a speculative history of Weiner’s formal language, two interviews—with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato—pay attention to Weiner’s enduring legacy.

— Lawrence Weiner : Nous sommes des navires sur la mer, pas des canards dans une mare.
Auteur :
Entretiens avec Nora Turato et Linda van Deursen

Les graphistes ont toujours été fascinés par la manière dont Lawrence Weiner fait usage du design graphique. « Ce qui rend le travail de Weiner si séduisant aux yeux des graphistes, c’est sa méthode résolument assumée d’exposer des mots sans aucun besoin d’explications.* » Ce texte réalise néanmoins une analyse comparative de différentes voix évoquant l’usage que fait Weiner du graphisme et de la typographie.
