Art Fond
Zbierka ART FOND – Stredoeurópsky fond súčasného umenia predstavuje 20 popredných osobností slovenskej výtvarnej scény, na ktorú nastupovali od šesťdesiatych rokov 20. storočia. Ich diela sa stali nielen autentickým svedectvom obdobia socialistického Československa, kde pôsobili na alternatívnej a neoficiálnej scéne, ale dokázali obohatiť i súdobé medzinárodné tendencie. Napríklad pop-art, kinetické umenie, nová figurácia, nový realizmus, sound art, mail art cˇi iné konceptuálne tendencie. Ich jedinečná tvorba patrí ku kľúčovým kapitolám našich dejín umenia a zanecháva významnú stopu aj na medzinárodnej výtvarnej scéne. Nielen pre umeleckú hodnotu, ale aj pre bytostné posolstvo, ktoré je dodnes naliehavé.
Zbierka ART FOND sa postupne formuje od roku 2014, odkedy napomáha v rozvoji súčasného slovenského vizuálneho umenia a filozofie zberateľstva.

Umění a evoluce / Art and Evolution
Knihu Umění a evoluce vydává nakladatelství UMPRUM u příležitosti životního jubilea profesora Jindřicha Vybírala.
Je sestavena z textů od předních tuzemských i zahraničních historiků umění a architektury, kteří ve svých příspěvcích publikovaných v češtině, slovenštině, angličtině a němčině v nejširším slova smyslu navazují na práci oslavence: odhalují přehlížené kontinuity a demaskují mnohdy zavádějící obrazy revoluce v umění a architektuře 19. a 20. století.
Klasickou knihu, představující uzavřený systém, doprovází její potenciální evoluční nástupce: digitální tabula gratulatoria. Instagramová stránka Festschrift_JV je v kontrastu k tištěné publikaci otevřená: svým příspěvkem na ni může přispět kdokoli, kdykoli a odkudkoli.
Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy - Art Cartography in the Centre of Europe 1960-2011
Medzinárodný výstavný projekt MAPY / MAPS (Umelecká kartografia v strede Európy 1960-2011) prezentuje známe, menej známe aj doteraz nevystavené diela autorov tvoriacich v 60. a 70. rokoch 20. storočia v oblasti konceptuálneho umenia a land-artu, v 80. rokoch aj v maľbe a fotografii, reflektuje neo-konceptuálne tendencie objektu a inštalácie v 90. rokoch 20. storočia. Výberovo predstavuje aj mladú generáciu autorov, ktorí mapu a princíp mapovania, sietí, ciest, myslenia a výskumu pomocou mapy často využívajú ako metaforu samotnej tvorby diela. Mapy sa stali v umení uplynulých päťdesiatych rokov dôležitým nositeľom kultúrnych významov ako médium utopických vízií, mentálnych archeológií, futurologických projektov či projekcií teritoriálnych alebo politických frustrácií.
V umeleckohistorickej sonde výstava sleduje na "mape" diel viac ako päťdesiatich autorov vzťah umelcov ku každodennej realite, počnúc prelínaním umenia a života v neoavantgardných tendenciách 60. rokov až po priamočiaru manifestáciu života v umení umožnenú novými médiami. Mapuje kartografické interpretácie na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne v konfrontácii s vybranými dielami autorov z ostatných krajín V4: Česka, Poľska a Maďarska.
Výstava je zostavená chronologicky, a zároveň tematicky. Na predstavených dielach možno sledovať uvažovanie umelcov o hraniciach, obmedzeniach, spôsoboch ich virtuálneho slobodného prekračovania či redefinovania, zmenách mierky či pozícií štátov a kontinentov. Autori a autorky v mapách zaznamenávajú svoje zážitky z fyzickej prítomnosti v krajine a orientácie v mestskom či prírodnom teréne. Umelecké mapy sú však aj nástrojom subjektívnych mentálnych kartografií. Metaforická podstata mapy poskytuje nekonečné možnosti vyjadrovania v tvorivých systémoch individuálnych mytológií, hľadanie stratených rajov, objavovanie bájnych a zakladanie nových krajín, či snívanie o vesmíre. Každý z autorov vyznačuje svojím zápisom predovšetkým vlastné súradnice na mape.
Katalóg je koncipovaný ako atlas umeleckých máp s odkazmi, témami a návodmi na ich kritické čítanie.
Breakdowns
The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form...and how it formed him!
**In a new flexibound format with an updated afterword**
This book opens with Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, creating vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped Art Spiegelman. It traces the artist's evolution from a MAD-comics obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the effect of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son.
The second part presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s, the book that triggers these memories. Breakdowns established the mode of formally sophisticated comics that transformed the medium, and includes the prototype of Maus, cubist experiments, an essay on humor, and the definitive genre-twisting pulp story "Ace Hole-Midget Detective."
Pulling all this together is an illustrated essay that looks back at the sixties as the artist pushes sixty, and explains the obsessions that brought these works into being. Poignant, funny, complex, and innovative, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.

Gwen and Art Are Not in Love
Gwen, the quick-witted Princess of England, and Arthur, future lord and general gadabout, have been betrothed since birth. Unfortunately, the only thing they can agree on is that they hate each other.
When Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers where Gwen hides her diary (complete with racy entries about Bridget Leclair, the kingdom's only female knight), they become reluctant allies. By pretending to fall for each other, their mutual protection will be assured.
But how long can they keep up the ruse? With Gwen growing closer to Bridget, and Art becoming unaccountably fond of Gabriel, Gwen's infuriatingly serious, bookish brother, the path to true love is looking far from straight ...

What is Black Art?
A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade'
What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.
The Art of Being
How can we realise and actualise love, reason and meaningful, productive work?
If the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from having - to psychological and spiritual happiness - being. The Art of Being remains one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon.
Fromm here offers a path to true wellbeing and a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be lived without pain. The tantalising 'spiritual smorgasbord' offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of 'easy awareness'. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation rather than material gain.
This volume is a sequel to one of Erich Fromm's most popular works, To Have or to Be. In this book, Fromm examines the true paths - as opposed to false directions - that will lead us to self-knowledge and enlightenment. This edition, commemorating thirty years since the first English publication of The Art of Being, features an updated introduction from editor Rainer Funk.
20th Century Indian Art
A landmark volume presenting the history of Indian art across the subcontinent and South Asia from the late 19th century to the present day, published in association with Art Alive.
Recent decades have seen significant growth in the interest, acquisition and exhibition of modern Indian and South Asian art and artists by major international museums. This essential textbook, primarily aimed at students, presents an engaging, informative history of modern art from the subcontinent as seen through the eyes of prominent Indian academics.
Illustrated throughout with strong narrative content, key experts contribute multiple perspectives on modernism, modernity and plurality, and expansive ideas about contemporary art practices. A range of subjects and topics feature including Group 1890, the Madras Art Movement, Regional Modern and Dalit art, as well as artists such as Amrita Sher-Gil and Raqs Media Collective. This book also has sections devoted to the art of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and other parts of South Asia.
Together with lively academic discussions and a selection of absorbing interviews with artists, this title meets a clear demand for a comprehensive and authoritative sourcebook on modern, postmodern and contemporary Indian art. It is the definitive reference for anyone with an interest in Indian art and non-Western art histories.

The Art of Living
With all the wit, knowledge and wisdom of one of the UK's foremost cultural commentators, Stephen Bayley takes the reader on a satirical roller-coaster ride through the world of art and design in the late 20th century.
Someone once said you can find beauty anywhere. But all Eustace Dunne can see is ugliness.
The buildings are grey, the people are tired and unimaginative, the food is inedible and life is drab, drab, drab.
Growing up in an England ravaged by the Second World War, Eustace resolves to make things beautiful again. A mercurial stint in art school gives him a springboard into a world that is changing so fast you have to hold on tight to keep up. And in that world, ambition, timing and a modicum of talent can transform you into anything you want to be.
Before long he's an artist, a designer, a restaurateur, an entrepreneur, a genius. But becoming a bastion of perfect taste can be a grubby business. Eustace's charm may have secured his influence on the homes and hearts of a nation, but there are still people out there who know where the bodies are buried...
Art of business Wars
Based on the chart-topping BUSINESS WARS podcast re-imagined using Sun Tzu's THE ART OF WAR as a guide, THE ART OF BUSINESS WARS features stories and lessons from history's greatest business rivalries revealing why some companies triumph while others crumble.
Business is a fight for survival. In business as in war, leaders match their wills in pursuit of opposing outcomes, they devise strategies, and marshal resources for victory. Success can turn on the smallest of details; a single tactical blunder can topple an empire. Ultimately, one side triumphs - and victory is all that matters.
In The Art of Business Wars, David Brown, host of the hit podcast Business Wars, masterfully frames some of the biggest business rivalries in history using revered Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu's insights and pragmatic advice. Each rivalry tells a story of combined wits, strategies, and resources. Brown chronicles the rise of companies as they vanquish rivals, formulate innovative plans, and adapt to keep up with shifting needs. The goal? Stay ahead of the competition and emerge victorious.
By compiling powerful insights uncovered over hundreds of podcast episodes and more than a year of in-depth research, Brown has developed a formula for business intrigue rich in popular history. The stories in The Art of Business Wars will inspire you, and the lessons you can draw from them - about determination, ingenuity, patience, grit, subtlety, and other traits that contribute to a victorious enterprise - are invaluable, whether you're a creative freelancer or the CEO of a multinational manufacturer.
