A user-friendly manual to research methods in art and design practices This volume presents the Circle of Doing Research: a model to get you started in art and design research. Conceived within the contextual setting of the art school, it is holistic, multidisciplinary and prioritizes practice. It consists of six actions. The basis of the circle is formed by the following: research by making, research of context and participatory research, where information, prototypes, encounters and experiences are gathered and produced. The remaining three actions are concerned with documenting research, publicizing research and reflecting on research. The Circle of Doing Research is an open, accessible and non-linear model. Each action can be an entry point, whether you want to start with material experiments, conversations with others, or in the library. All actions are connected and inform each other which encourages a process of iteration and constant reflection. The Circle can be enriched with methods, sources and focal points according to specific disciplines and needs. The book contains research trajectories of art and design students throughout, illustrating the rich possibilities to be uncovered in the unfolding of a research project. This illuminating model can be useful to all, from those beginning to learn about research in art and design to more advanced practitioners.

Hrom do palice - kniha od tří Beranů. Zvláštní, že stejné zvíře je symbolem vzpoury i pokory. Ale není i šťastný život směsí obojího? Propojení či přesypání věcí v hlavě však žádá impuls - a těch je kniha plná. Rady psychiatra, japonská tradiční okénka, různé pohledy tří generací. Chcete se hezky bát strašidel, nebo umět psát levou rukou? Nebo se jen postavit na nohy, když vás život srazí na zem? Podle reakce na ranní budík vás autoři hned nasměrují ke správné kapitole: o pomíjivosti, o spánku a paměti, o naslouchání či o předsevzetích. Témat je řada - s kým se srovnávat, stereotyp versus řád, japonské hledání smyslu života, zdroje duchovní energie, o co se opřít a o co radši ne, význam odpočinku. Zlomek vteřiny, ve kterém se slunce zableskne a pak docela zmizí, prý odhaluje tajemství. A Monetovo Japonskem inspirované vnímání přírody je zároveň vzpourou proti šílenství doby. Kniha vám pomůže všímat si záblesků štěstí i ve svém životě a lépe volit, kdy být beran a kdy beránek.

A photobook dedicated to players throughout time who have tried their hand at the beloved cerebral game, featuring text penned by chess enthusiast and acclaimed author Martin Amis This is a book for chess Grandmasters, novices and inquiring laymen alike. It is a book for anyone who has wondered, as Martin Amis wryly asks in his contributing text, “What are they playing at?” Marcel Duchamp’s iconic quote, “All chess players are artists,” resonates throughout the volume. David Hockney likened the game’s strategic thinking to that of making art: “Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.” “Chess is war over the board,” said Bobby Fischer, Grandmaster and World Chess Champion, but here John Lennon and Yoko Ono checkmate this notion, with their all-white chess “peace” set. Chess Players: From Charlie Chaplin to Wu-Tang Clan compiles photographs of notable figures playing the beloved game of strategy over the course of 130 years. The volume strings together zany and remarkable moments in time. In one image, players are captured on board a steamship crossing the Atlantic in 1888; in another, an astronaut studies a board in space. And, as the title suggests, Hollywood celebrities frequent the book’s pages, playing chess on and off the screen: Humphrey Bogart deploys a Sicilian Defense against Lauren Bacall, while Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen plot their next gambit in the iconic chess seduction scene from The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). Featuring an introduction by Dylan Loeb McClain, former chess columnist for the New York Times, the photographs in Chess Players evince the enduring attraction of this cerebral game. The volume also features an interview with Viswanathan Anand, who is inarguably one of the greatest chess players in history.
