Nothing About Interior
Architecture

Often dissident, sometimes adherent, Nothing About is, in essence, indefinable because it is adaptive and fluid. Speculative or hands-on, this discipline - if we can call it that - displays all the ambivalences of our contemporary lifestyles: superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, and often regarded as futile, even though it could nonetheless destroy the most beautiful of insides. This book brings together a variety of intellectual tools and insights - polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and
criminal, spanning media, technology, the arts and other, often undefined fields - that analyze the impact of the
discipline on contemporary design. In the end, what makes Nothing About charming is that this inside - insofar as it is still defined as such - has only the humble ambition of accompanying beings, both animate and inanimate, within their environment, like a friend who is never far away.

Philippe Parreno H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS Hypothesis

—-
The exhibition is conceived as a scripted space, like an automaton, producing different temporalities, a rhythm, an itinerary, and a duration. The visitor is guided through the spaces by the appearance and orchestration of sounds and images... a mental choreography. – Philippe Parreno
Philippe Parreno is interested more in the dynamics of how a work of art is shown to the public than in its actual production, and in his films, installations, performances and texts, he subverts the codes normally applied to exhibition spaces. He places the construction of the exhibition at the heart of his process, approaching it through different formats and redefining the exhibition experience as a coherent object rather than as a collection of individual works.
Produced in conjunction with the H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS exhibition – curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Alex Poots, with consulting curator Tom Eccles, in the spaces of the Park Avenue Armory in New York – and with Hypothesis – curated by Andrea Lissoni at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan – this monograph offers a rich critical overview of his work, with essays by Cyril Béghin, Molly Nesbit, Brian O’Doherty and Adam Thirlwell, and two interviews with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Andrea Lissoni.
It is thus an invaluable research tool for studying one of the most influential and charismatic figures on the contemporary art scene.

As we are committed to support art, fashion and culture, we are delighted to have Kinae with heir practice ESEU266 a Sydney-based design studio grounded in a process-led approach to making, next month in residency at Between Lines.

Entrée:

28.5. Thursday 11 - 5pm
29.5. Friday 11 - 4pm / 2
A night gathering
5 - 9pm 🍷
30.5. Saturday 11 - 4pm

Residency:
04.06. - 04.07.2026

ESEU266 creates clothing shaped around the individual wearer. Working from a bespoke studio model, the practice focuses on form, fabric, and fit-developing garments that respond naturally to the body and the way they’re lived in.
Produced in collaboration with local makers, each piece is developed with an emphasis on precision, longevity and ease. Rather than designing around seasons or trends, ESEU266 approaches clothing as an ongoing process of refinement-creating garments that support everyday life with clarity and intention.

We will be in Berlin this June and we are so happy Kinae is looking after the store during her residence, open Thursday-Saturday from 11-4!

Passing through moving in and getting away with it - Gordon Matta-Clark

New York City - Graffiti Photographs, 1972–73

—-
From 1972 to 1973, Gordon Matta-Clark took over fifteen hundred photographs of graffiti in New York City. These pictures are some of the earliest documentation of an emerging art form, and are an under-recognized body of work from Matta-Clark—an artist who used the city’s crumbling infrastructure to reveal the social and political implications of architecture and urban design.
This publication features every frame from every roll of film Matta-Clark shot, organized according to the sequence of contact sheets in the artist’s archive. Taken together, these pictures demonstrate Matta-Clark’s obsession with the graffiti that had exploded across the city’s walls, subways, and buses, and show him growing bolder as he moved from photographing on the streets and subway platforms, to trespassing in outer borough train yards. While he was out on these documentary missions, Matta-Clark also photographed abandoned architecture, infrastructure, and the social life of the city. Those pictures are included as well, as they show the relationship between graffiti and themes that are more commonly associated with the artist’s work.
An essay by Antonio Sergio Bessa and a text by Jonathan Lethem accompany the photographs

Andreas Gehrke - ICC Berlin

—-
This collection of 16 postcards depicts the International Congress Centre Berlin (ICC Berlin), one of Europe’s largest and most renowned convention centers. Architects Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte designed and created its futuristic aluminum facade and high-tech architecture between 1973 and 1979. For decades the ICC hosted an array of events – including international conventions, cultural events, and media productions – with a capacity of around 14,500 seats in 80 halls and rooms. Artist Frank Oehring also crucially shaped the ICC’s identity with his color-coded orientation and information system and a monumental neon light sculpture in the ICC’s center atrium call the “Grosse Lichtplastik,” which symbolizes the “brain” or nerve center of the building.

Since 2014, the ICC has been closed, and a concept process for revitalization with a focus on innovation, culture, and the creative industries is currently underway. The building has been listed as a protected monument since 2019, and demolition is politically rejected. Investors have been invited to independently refurbish and operate the ICC under a new concept, with the ultimate aim of reopening the ICC as a publicly accessibly center for creativity and encounter. Andreas Gehrke captured the striking images on the postcards in this interim period – one in which the ICC finds itself in a liminal time and space.

Sixty - Albrecht Fuchs
Sixty Photographs From Four Decades

—-
Albrecht Fuchs has been photographing artists and their extended circle since the late 1980s. This circle also includes actors, designers, composers and others. He developed his style of distinctive and coherent portraits early on. And it is also said that he takes the same picture again and again with inimitable perfection – always a kind of self-portrait. In this new book, we present sixty of his most important subjects from four decades, all of which have never been published in a book before

Notes on Experimental Jetset Vol. 1

—-
The first publication on the work of Experimental Jetset features almost two decades of graphic design praxis. Rather than a monolithic monograph, it is a very loose, personal archive, with essays by Linda van Deursen, Mark Owens, and Ian Svenonius, plus two photographic chapters with a selection of work by the studio, covering both printed matter and the documentation of site-specific pieces and installations. To conclude is a glossary-like anthology of texts (fragments of interviews, lectures, correspondence, etc.) previously written by Experimental Jetset, selected, edited, and structured by Jon Sueda. Design by Experimental Jetset.
