The art work presented in Call Ampersand Response features a unique interaction between two Canadian artists, co-published by Neives and Artexte."Over a period of several months, Dumontier and Lexier sustained an image-based correspondence by sending each other scans of book covers, found objects, drawings and illustrations belonging to each artist’s respective collection. The project is based on the idea that their collections speak of their shared artistic affinities while informing their practices. Two rules dictated their conduct: each image was to function as a 'call' seeking a 'response' from the other artist, and the dialogue was to end when an image recalling the project’s opening image emerged, thereby constituting a narrative loop."

Porter has recently released a new series under the 'Lite' title. Taking advantage of Gore's lightweight, durable and functional fabrics, the range of bags comes in three colours and several styles. The tote bag is one of the best while the Boston bag also looks to be a useful option.

I discovered this book quite recently, when working on a forthcoming feature for the magazine. Having taken notes regarding its author it didn't take too long for me to track down more information courtesy of the book's publisher MACK: "The aesthetics of science, nature and the materiality of things are recurring themes in Mårten Lange’s work and in Another Language, his first major publication, Lange delves even deeper with this fascination for the natural world. Combining images of flora, fauna and natural phenomena in an intimate and beautifully crafted book, Lange teases out a subtle narrative - a meteor crashes, a landmass is visible and a distant planet occupies the final page - but the book is more akin to the workings of a scientist collecting specimens."
