An in-depth look at the Shonandai Cultural Centre, one of the groundbreaking buildings in 1980s Japan and the masterpiece of Japanese architect Itsuko Hasegawa, presented in photographs and technical drawings. The Shonandai Cultural Centre was the first major public project of Itsuko Hasegawa. Shonandai belongs to a different time – the 1980s – and a different place, Japan, but it shares the desire of earlier generations to “overcome” modernism. Hasegawa achieves this in the most outlandish way, possible perhaps only in Japan in the 1980s. This is where the 1960s techno avant-garde comes full circle. Illustrated with photographs by Stefano Graziani, this book is part of the Everything without Content series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis and successor to previous books on Aldo and Hannie Van Eyck and Giancarlo de Carlo.

Ship of Fools / The Dockers’ Museum is the project on which the US artist and writer Allan Sekula worked during the last three years of his life. The work consists, first, of a corpus of thirty-three framed photographs and two slide projections of in total over one hundred images, all made by the artist (Ship of Fools); second, it contains a gigantic collection of various objects, graphic images, postcards, and prints which the artist purchased, mostly online (The Dockers’ Museum). Sekula dedicated this work to both historical and contemporary labor solidarity in and around the docks.
