\n1. Rave: Rave and its influence on Art and Culture<\/h3>\n

Edited by Nav Haq | Black Dog Publishing<\/strong> \n“RAVE” is one of the first publications to critically engage with the historical rave movement that emerged in Europe after the industrial revolution. Exploring the period that transformed the way we party from the 1980s and 1990s until today, the book analyses the social, political and economic conditions that led to the growth of the dance boom in relation to contemporary art and visual culture. Combining texts by Mark Fisher and Kodwo Eshun, interviews with designers and producers as well as work from various artists such as Rineke Dijkstra, Aleksandra Domanovic and Daniel Pflumm combine for a celebration of\u00a0rave culture’s expansive influences.

2. The New Curator<\/h3>\n

By Natasha Hoare, Coline Milliard, Rafal Niemojewski, Ben Borthwick and Jonathan Watkins | Laurence King Publishing<\/strong> \nWith the growth of social media and the internet, the role of curators has become a bit of a blur. This book gives an insight into the complexity and richness of curating, with special emphasis on prominent\u00a0exhibitions including\u00a0the “Ghetto Biennale” in Haiti and\u00a0digital artworks by Amalia Web. Each of the 25 highly detailed case studies consists of an interview with the curator and the story of show-making.

3. Undercover<\/h3>\n

By Jun Takahashi | Rizzoli<\/strong> \n“Undercover” is the\u00a0first book to focus on the work of Jun Takahashi, the iconic Japanese designer who stands behind streetwear brand UNDERCOVER. The publication provides a comprehensive look at Takahashi’s fashion endeavours through sketches, graphics, photographs and his most innovative designs to date. Tracing the whole story behind one of the most fascinating and multi-faced contemporary brands, “Undercover” begins with the opening of the brand’s first Harajuku store to collaborations with brands such as Comme de Garcons.

4. Gus Van Sant: Icons<\/h3>\n

By Matthieu Orl\u00e9ans | Actes Stud<\/strong> \nThis book pays tribute to the cinematographic work of Gus Van Sant, the cult director responsible for classics like Milk, Drugstore and Elephant among others. “Icons” explores the entire scope of Vans Sant’s cinematographic work through photographs, essays, sketches, polaroids, paintings and analyses. It also features an unpublished interview with the filmmaker conducted in Portland in June 2015, in which he discusses his inspirations that include visual artists like William Burroughs, William Eggleston<\/a> and Harmony Korine. It’s a beautifully printed album that offers a comprehensive insight into the Kentucky director’s creative process.
