Louis Luthi - A Die With Twenty-six Faces

ROMA Publications 2018 ISBN 9789492811394 Acqn 29306
Pb 13x20cm 104pp col ills £19.75

In 'A Die With Twenty-Six Faces', the author guides us through his collection of books with letters
for titles, referred to as "alphabet books". Some of these titles are familiar, such as John Updike's
'S.', Georges Perec's 'W', and Louis Zukofsky's 'A'. Others are obscure, perhaps even imaginary,
like Arnold Skemer's 'C' and 'D', or Zach Sodenstern's 'A'. Tracing connections between these
books, the author elaborates on the symbolic content of letters, Joycean characters, Franz Kafka,
Guy Davenport, and libraries within libraries. Designed by the author and mixing essay and
fiction, the book is a playful meditation on contemporary literature, typography, and book
collecting.

Jeff Weber - An Attempt At A Personal Epistemology | Kunsthalle Leipzig

ROMA Publications 2018 ISBN 9789492811387 Acqn 29266
Pb 11x19cm 522pp col ills £28

This book is the result of Jeff Weber's long-term project as Kunsthalle Leipzig, an institution which
worked as an extension of his photographic practice and functioned as a conceptual frame to
invite others to actively participate. His sequence of images documenting the renovation of the
Leipzig apartments reflects the wish for a place created with a minimum of means and invested
with freedom. Light seems to become a physical object in Weber's pictures, "yet the quality of
grey tones… is mysterious," writes Robert Beavers. Besides many photos and posters from the
Kunsthalle, the book includes a critical text by Michael Baers and a conversation with the artist
and Marie-France Rafael.
