TADA's Revolution is a playful, visual journey into the fantastical and imaginative miniature worlds of Los Angeles-based artist, Susan Chi. Chronicling the various adventures and stories of toys and miniature animal characters, the book is a wondrous showcase of carefully and meticulously-crafted and detailed sets, using all miniature items, objects, and furniture hand- made by Chi or from the artist's own collection of vintage toys curated specially from auctions, toy stores, and flea markets around the world. Each of the photo stories gleefully portrays the often absurd moments and artificiality of human nature and modern life, while relaying such universal themes as mischief, honesty, curiosity, compassion, fear, and wonder.

This catalog offers a complete overview of all facets of Luis Gordillo's art: paintings, drawings, photographs and collages. It affirms the importance seriality and repetition have for Luis Gordillo, and his idea that an image submitted to ongoing reproduction never arrives at a definitive state. Gordillo has used varying styles and influences, such as Surrealism, expressive automatism and, later on, gesturalism and serial calligraphy. In the 80s figuration ceased having importance for his work, which gained in symbolic complexity and hinted at the artist's growing interest in the terminology and actual images of the world of science.
