A monolith is defined as a single, large, unified structure. An apt name for the first complete monograph on the work of Dutch painter Robert Zandvliet (b. 1970). This monumental volume reveals the ongoing tension between experimentation and striking consistency in his body of work.

The Atlas of Textscapes offers an overview of text drawings from a forty-year period by Tanja Smit, created directly on magazine articles and newspaper pages. The result is a collection of surprising patterns and a broad investigation into layout, words, language, and content. A critical investigation that is simultaneously an ode to language, slowness and the rapidly disappearing printed matter from our society.
