Since 2004, the London gallery Elms Lesters Painting Rooms has hosted seminal exhibits of contemporary artists, including graffiti artists Futura, Delta (Boris Tellegen), Space Invader, KAWS, and others. Here, graphic designer Iain Cadby documents the graphic components that accompanied exhibitions held between 2008 and 2014. The graphic design for each exhibition is examined, including specific visual language or identity design and accompanying projects, including books. The text by GavinLucas provides a historical overview of the period, putting the gallery, the artistic movement of street art, and graphic design into context.

Saudi Arabia's leading artist presents an insider's view of the modern Middle East, drawing on personal and historical archives to explore religion, oil, geopolitics, and regional conflict from 1979 to the present - a moment of major social transformation in the Kingdom.
In 2014, Trevor Appleson took to the streets of Birmingham, England, photographing young people as they shopped, partied, studied, and just hung out. Appleson invited his sitters to not just pose for their portraits, but also to create their own archives using what was important to them. The result is a fascinating mix of the physical and the digital, from crumpled diaries to blog pages, from memory boxes to online search histories. Portable Studio gives unique insight into the lives of its subjects, their culture, self-image, and talismans. Interviews and commentaries from academics and historians contextualize the project and complete these multifaceted representations of identity.
Two key volumes chart the phenomenon of sneaker culture in a rich tapestry of stunning images and compelling stories The universe of collectable sneakers, a contemporary phenomenon of global proportions, is presented here in two groundbreaking volumes. In the brand-new Next Size Up, voices from the worlds of fashion, sport, design, art, and music speak to today’s sneaker culture explosion from every angle. And a reprint of 1998’s hugely successful Size Isn’t Everything, which set the template for all other sneaker books that followed it, brings the story back to its roots, offering a freeze-frame of sneakers’ earliest heroes, from Snoop Dogg and Spike Jonze to athletes, teen idols, moguls, and more. Covering much more than design, including issues such as criminality, counterfeiting, value for money, fashion, and beyond, these two books offer a complete and highly covetable tribute to what is much more than a fashion obsession.
A visual survey of the public myths and collective symbols used in the making of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the subsequent war with Iraq, from the fiery words of Ayatollah Khomeini to revolutionary posters, graffiti, slogans, murals, posters and banners.
Stretching Thoughts is an explosion of visual narratives presenting the complete works of architect, painter, and sculptor Nadim Karam (b. 1957), who has created large-scale art projects in cities from Beirut, Prague, and London to Melbourne and Nara. Karam spent a decade studying in Japan before returning to his native Beirut to open Atelier Hapsitus, which has become renowned for urban regeneration projects. The book features the artist's personal commentary on the adversity of the Middle East as well as a distinct narrative presenting his paintings--published for the first time--and offering his musings on life, war, dreams, and the human condition. Engaged in an artistic battle against the causes of chaos and trauma afflicting the region, Karam's work is at once poignant and provocative, but resolutely optimistic.
This body of work by Ida Taavitsainen, a young talent with an original point of view, examines some of the many roles clothing plays - her wardrobe is witness to presence just as much as it is about fashion - but it is not only about the roles of clothes, it is a family history told through materials and a family album without people in it.
Offers 400 compelling images, action shots, portraiture and gritty behind the scenes imagery - plus the best graphics, fashion and gear.

In "Tunnels," Portuguese photographer Andri Prmncipe explores the boundaries of knowing oneself and others through themes such as isolation and absence. By photographing people from behind, while hiding or through windows, Prmncipe captures images that deal with issues such as loneliness and the difficulty of communicating, while also reflecting on the limits of the photographic medium. This book, the first in a trilogy on the artist's work, is edited like a novel, dealing with abstract, non-pictorial themes that are usually associated with literature or film.
