A Brief History of Curating
o
This on my wish-list publication is dedicated to pioneering curators and presents a unique collection of interviews by Hans Ulrich Obrist: Anne d'Harnoncourt, Werner Hofmann, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, Seth Siegelaub, Walter Zanini, Johannes Cladders, Lucy Lippard, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hulten, and Harald Szeemann are thus gathered in this volume. The contributions map the development of the curatorial field, from early independent curating in the 1960s and 1970s and the experimental institutional programs developed in Europe and in the USA at this time, through Documenta and the development of biennales.

Field Guide to Living
Not only a book on people's dysfunctional relationship with nature, William Wegman's Field Guide to North America and Other Regions is a charming, large-format, diary-like set of suggestions for human beings to live more congruously with their natural world. Featuring only a few of Wegman's signature photographs, this volume contains the artist's watercolors, sketches (Hansel and Gretel, "Paw Prints"), collages, diagrams, drawings, recipes ( Cinnamon Teal Duck Cake), and maps, along with several vintage images that revolve around the theme of nature.

Tree House Love
La Cabane Perchee is a French architectural firm devoted exclusively to the creation of treehouses. They maintain the integrity of the tree without breaking any branches or using nails in the tree when they build. Their website also hosts a series of other locations that offer tree houses for rent. How cool is that?Thats what we all need, instead of a country home, we all need treehouses.
