Royal Chambers - Wang & Soderstrom

Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789189270428 Acqn 33358

Hb 20x28cm 240pp col ills £48

In Royal Chambers, Wang & Soderstrom present an assembly of five works that investigate our
relationship to the term home across the digital and environmental developments of our time.
Together they describe an entanglement of shifting power structures and perspectives in a rapidly
changing 'phygital' world. The book offers insights into the processes behind the works, as well as
essays from five contributing writers that unfold the idea of home as a multifaceted eco system. It
also includes a short biography of Wang & Soderstrom, photos of their studio and an index of
selected works from 2016-2022.

In a hybrid practice that spans the physical and the digital, Wang & Soderstrom reflect upon how
the world is changing through technology. Between the visceral present, clear as mud, and the
future - often clearer than we give it credit for - Royal Chambers posits an expanded idea of
home, of care and connection from micro to macro, to shine light on a more integrated and
nuanced notion of life and living.

Tove Kjellmark - The Horse, the Robot & the Immeasurable
Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789189270497 Acqn 33364
Hb 22x27cm 256pp col ills £53

This book presents the practice of artist Tove Kjellmark and her extensive artistic research project
'The Horse, the Robot and the Immeasurable: A Practice-Based Exploration of Matter as a
Movement That Constantly Takes on New Shapes'. With the relationship horse-human-robot in
focus, the aim is to challenge the limits of measurability, investigate liminal states and
sedimentary expressions sprung from translations between materiality and immateriality through
digital, analogue and performative techniques. Fragments of the horse's spirit, traces of
movement shaped as physical echoes, imprints that remain after many digital translations from
the encounter with a horse's physicality. The term 'translation' is used in its double meaning: as
the transformation of a language or medium into another, and as the movement of a body from
one point in space to another.

Handwerk No. 7 - The Construction Issue
Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9788797229699 Acqn 33370
Pb 21x28cm 160pp col ills £31

Handwerk bookazine no. 8 takes us on a fashion-themed tour of Denmark. It starts out in

Randers, with a visit to the Rhanders glove factory. On the way from Randers to Copenhagen, we
meet Soren Nikolaj Skyt - who runs the knitwear company S. N. S. Herning, founded by his
grandfather in 1919 - as well as the next generation of designers at Design School Kolding.

In the southern part of the island of Funen, we meet weaver and textile designer Stine Skytte, and
in the main city of the island, Odense, we talk fashion history at the museum Tidens Samling. In
Copenhagen, we have a chat with designer Jan Machenhauer and cap-maker Wilgart, among
others, and visit designer and shoe manufacturer Eva Bartels. Shoes are also the topic of
conversation with Alain Leber - the former head designer for Louis Vuitton and Burberry, who
recently launched his own shoe brand Monsieur L. Our tour ends in Scania in southern Sweden,
where we meet Karl Berglund, who went from a career in fashion to life as a saffron farmer.

The Handwerk bookazine is based in Denmark and is published by designer, photographer and
writer Rigetta Klint. In the publication, Klint draws on her lengthy experience and career - initially
as a practicing craftsperson and designer, and later as a writer and photographer. Her approach
is driven by high standards and dedication.

With a clear and consistent emphasis on craftsmanship and materiality, the Handwerk bookazine
portrays the living and changing practice of design and craft through in-depth interviews and
portraits painted in both words and images. It focuses on craft in its own right and as a necessary
basis for architecture, art, fashion, interior design, as well as for a good meal.

Heart and Soil – Jenny Carlsson Grip
Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789189270527 Acqn 33373
Hb 24x29cm 246pp col ills £42

'In the studio, I think about colour meetings, the roar of pouring rain in a potato field, the squelch
of dripping oil goo between the fingers and the very brightest Kings Blue deep.'

'Jenny Carlsson Grip tests the materiality of the oil colour by applying layer upon layer and trying
to bring forth a discovery. She paints with brushes, spatulas, broad scrapers and directly with her
hands. Ploughing the colour. Weeds, grass and vegetation in very physical form have been
attached to the paintings. The works become tactile and open up in a sensory and sincere way.
We can follow her movements as she paints. A pulse beating. Her paintings have a rhythmic and
a musical depth that bursts up in a short staccato whose application seeps into the body.' - Torun
Ekstrand

In the extensive monography Heart and Soil, we follow Jenny Carlsson Grip's painting practice
during a decade's worth of exhibitions and excursions into the landscape of oil painting. With high
quality documentations of paintings, paper works and public commissions, accompanied by
immersive texts charting the painterly process from the study years through the major
breakthrough and beyond, the walk goes into a place where the colour is in itself nature, a base
matter that builds walls, runs in the ditches and claws towards the skies.
