Iris Van Bebber
Visual artist Iris Van Bebber (Xanten, Germany) asked tension headache to compose English language descriptive content for a web site cataloging her installations and other works.
soundbodies II (.pdf)
…"With this installation I sought to create an environment where elements rooted in different fascinations could intersect. In a sense it is almost like a very strong cocktail, but one into which the viewer pours their entire body (in this case, by walking into a room) rather than the other way around…"
photophonie I (.pdf)
…"The act of taking pictures requires that we devote our concentration to visual concerns. However, the sounds of a camera offer important technical information about the process of taking photos and we react to them when we use a camera…"
destillaat (.pdf)
…"In addition to their print business, Extrapool presents an internationally-renowned audio arts and improvised music program at their space in Nijmegen, Holland. In the preparation of my piece, I considered how I might make a sound distillation of the space itself. …"

Royal Oak Foundation | Bookstore Blurbs
On the The Royal Oak Foundation's web site, each book offered in their on-line shop requires an accompanying brief description. A few examples:
Ghosts Sian Evans
"A guide to several National Trust properties based on the etherial phenomenon associated with them. Topped highwaymen, murdered tryst partners and wasting shut-ins populate this hauntingly rendered book, along with more famous shades like T.E. Lawrence and G.B. Shaw. Tales from Trust properties fit for a dark and stormy night."
Good Pub Guide 2010
"Even if you're the kind of person for whom every pub is "good", you will appreciate the care and effort taken by the editors of this publication in identifying the best of Britian's public houses. Don't worry, there will still be plenty of your own research to enjoy: they have "winnowed down" the field to a mere 5000 establishments! Their focus is on independence, "real" brews in good condition, and conviviality. They also include special mentions for those pubs worthy of inclusion which also feature accommodations."
Britain By Britrail 2010 - 11 LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski
