Rabbit at Rest
Cosima von Bonin
Published by Ursula Bickle Stiftung, Kraichtal, 2000, 64 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 22 × 29.7 cm, German/English
Price: €22

Produced on the occasion of Cosima von Bonin’s exhibition Rabbit at Rest at Ursula Bickle Stiftung, September 17–October 15, 2000.

Cosima von Bonin came of age as an artist in the 1990s amid the storied art scene in Cologne. In her practice, mixed references to art history, popular culture, and music are seen in tandem with a destabilising approach to craft and domestic activities. Many of her recent installations are populated with casts of cartoonish fabric characters–fish, whales, mushrooms, dogs, rockets–whose endearing appearances conjure a range of contradictions: delight and horror, softness and rigidity, and humour and sorrow.

Designed by Yvonne Quirmbach and Reile Hertz.

Anthony Froshaug: Typography & Texts / Documents of a Life
Robin Kinross (editor)
Published by Hyphen Press, London, 2000, 2 volumes: 254, 270 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, English
Price: €140

Presents the work and life of this essential typographer, until now too little known outside the circle of his friends and students. Froshaug was a deep and charismatic thinker-practitioner, whose insights return us to the fundamentals of typography. The book consists of two interacting volumes: the solid record of the work is placed against the contingencies of the life. A traditional monograph is unsettled by an exploration in documentary.

Are Plants People?
Mark Borthwick
Published by Purple Books, Paris, 2000, 32 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 11 × 15 cm, English/French
Price: €130

Mark Borthwick belongs to a generation of photographers who, in the 1990s, changed fashion’s imagery. Breaking the conventions of fashion photography, he developed a style that was at once intuitive and personal, integrating elements, props, attitudes, that touch contemporary art, environmental issues, interior and architectural design, and a reverence for clothes as works of art.
