[edit] Publications

  • Ciudad Moderna

Photography, graphics and video stills from his eponymous short film, is his homage to Mexican modernist architecture, and to the alluring aesthetics of mid-century Latin America. It includes essays by Craig Buckley, Priamo Lozada and Itala Schmelz.

  • Appendices, Illustrations & Notes

This surreal and funny artist’s book is a collaboration between conceptual artist Terence Gower and writer Mónica de la Torre, who have created an anthology of meaningless book-marketing blurbs, reviews of dubious exhibitions, evil-spirited notes by editors, and obsessional letters addressed to a psychiatrist.

  • Display Architecture

Display Architecture is a survey of Terence Gower's recent work on Modernist strategies of display and representation in architecture. The book focuses on one of this artist's principal subjects: exhibition pavilions and display architecture. It also includes essys by Juan Carlos Cano, Michel Blancsubé and Moises Puente.
