Of Bridges & Border Vol. II - New book ! - We are looking for your collaboration
Of Bridges & Border Vol. II
http://www.ofbridgesandborders.com
We have just finished printing the second volume of the book of our project Of Bridges & Borders, edited with JRP|Ringier, and designed by Baldinger – Vu-Huu.
It is a book (with Spanish and English translations) that we have been working on since 2011 and which forms part of the collaborative project that we have carried out since 2009 among contemporary artists, managers and thinkers, thus entering a new phase, which complements and enriches it in the development of the theme that we address through Of Bridges & Borders.
Anthropologists, philosophers, artists, researchers, sociologists, publishers, graphic designers and architects join the project, gathering them in this new book. Through unique stories and complex research, the essays deal with new technologies, contemporary art, migrations and city development, innovations in construction, freedom of expression and utopian urbanism.
From 2011 to date, these are the people who joined Of Bridges & Borders with their invaluable participation in the second book:
