Read Kate Mondloch's interesting review of Maeve Connolly's seminal monograph, The Place of Artists' Cinema.
'It is not uncommon to find, in a book one has been invited to review, a reference to the commissioning journal: after all, the journal has some affinity to a text if they’ve chosen to review it. A reference to Jump Cut in Maeve Connolly’s The Place of Artists’ Cinema: Space, Site and Screen, however, does more than suggest affinities in readership. It also handily reveals the hybrid and category-defying nature of contemporary artists’ film and video, the subject of Connolly’s book, and a genre she calls “artists’ cinema.” It was Jump Cut, we learn on page 139, that published convicted felon John “Sonny” Wojtowicz’ letter protesting his treatment as a criminal and contesting the accuracy of Dog Day Afternoon (Sidney Lumet, 1975)—the Warner Brothers film based around his attempted robbery of the Chase Manhattan Bank in Brooklyn in 1972.'

Papers are invited for Design Ecologies, a new international and trans-disciplinary peer-reviewed journal that aims to foreground the inextricable connection between human communication and ecological accountability in architectural design. This burgeoning field has the potential to become a far-reaching discipline, forging a community that crosses over into and out of architecture, environment, interaction, urbanism, and performing arts and communication.
