Marina Abramovic. Free Interdisciplinary Performance Lab
The pioneer of performance art and her class
With the first appointment of the outstanding performance artist Marina Abramovic to the Pina Bausch Professorship at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the focus in the 202323 academic year was placed on transdisciplinarity, artistic daring and social awareness.
The project supervised by Abramovic, entitled "Free Interdisciplinary Performance Laboratory (FIPL)", was realised in a class put together by her, in which she brought together over 20 students from the fields of music (classical and jazz, instrumental, vocal and composition), dance, design, photography, (physical) theatre and directing. The students developed individual or collective concepts for performances and learnt how to develop a longterm performative work form in an experiencebased process. In a workshop entitled "Cleaning the House", which was organised according to a method developed by Marina Abramovic, the students developed a sense of the presence required in performances, including the exploration of their individual physical and mental limits.
Surrealism - Worlds in Dialogue
Surrealism revolutionised art with fantastic, radically subjective motifs. As a political and international movement, the artists wanted to change society. The topicality of their ideas enables a fascinating comparison between important pioneers of Surrealism and the following generations of artists.
In a world that is increasingly dominated by technology, the examination of one’s own consciousness that was characteristic of Surrealism is moving into focus once more. What effects are technologies having on our society? What is it that makes us human? Topics like the search for identity, irrationality and the game of perception can be found in the works of René Magritte and Claude Cahun as well as David Lynch and Cindy Sherman. Some 120 top-class paintings, photographs, film sequences, collages and sculptures provide an exciting tour through 100 years of surreal worlds.
Artists include Hans Bellmer, Luis Bunuel, Marco Brambilla, Claude Cahun, George Condo, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Alfred Hitchcock, Sarah Lucas, David Lynch, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Meret Oppenheim, Tony Oursler, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Penny Slinger, Dorothea Tanning, Erwin Wurm.
Príbeh kultúr
Od pravekého umenia po K-pop
Načo je dobré umenie? Prečo by nás mala zaujímať minulosť?
Ľudstvo sa už tisícročia snaží pochopiť a odovzdať budúcim generáciám nielen „know-how“ života (vedieť ako), ale aj „know-why“ (vedieť prečo) – zmysel a cieľ našej existencie vyjadrený v umení, architektúre, náboženstve a filozofii. Toto kľúčové odovzdávanie vedomostí si vyžadovalo výrazné začlenenie poznatkov z minulosti a z iných kultúr. Uznávaný autor nás vo svojej knihe prevedie zlomovými okamihmi svetových dejín, na príklade ktorých ukazuje, ako sa jednotlivé, zdanlivo nesúvisiace kultúry navzájom prelínali, obohacovali a ovlyvnili tak vývoj ľudstva ako celku. Od strateného mesta Nefertiti až po divadlo čiernej Afriky, od antickej drámy cez čínske cestovateľské denníky až po arabské a aztécke knižnice, od Pompejí až po časovú kapsulu zanechanú na Mesiaci – autor nám vyrozpráva strhujúci príbeh ľudských úspechov dosiahnutých prostredníctvom našich kolektívnych strát a znovuobjavení, príbeh hier o moc a hrdinských ciest.

Eseje o goetheanizme v umení
Publikácia Eseje o goetheanizme v umení vychádza z Filozofie slobody Rudolfa Steinera, z pevných základov svetonázoru formujúceho sa z Prírodovedeckých spisov a z estetiky Johanna Wolfganga Goetheho.
Autorka v publikácii oslovuje širšiu, "nezasvätenú" verejnosť, pričom volí moderný, širokej populácii, zrozumiteľný jazyk, štýl a formu, aby priblížila filozofiu antropozofie, zvlášť v oblasti goetheanistického výtvarného umenia a antropozofickej umeleckej terapie. Autorka zdôrazňuje dôležitosť metamorfózy v Goetheovskom zmysle, neustály vývoj, dynamiku, zmenu a pohyb v priestore a čase, univerzálne zákonitosti, ktoré vyžadujú „tvorivé myslenie, ktorého koniec nenachádza“.
Z vlastného uhla pohľadu, v esejách, sa snaží odpovedať na otázky, s ktorými sa stretáva na Slovensku: Aké je goetheanistické umenie? Aká je antropozofická medicína? Aké sú metódy antropozofickej umeleckej terapie?
Kniha obsahuje ilustrácie, výtvarné práce, fotografie autorské aj reprodukcie obrazov významných slovenských a súčasných zahraničných umelcov. Jej súčasťou je svetoznáma Goetheho Rozprávka o zelenom hadovi a krásnej Ľalii.
Hieronymus Bosch & the Other Renaissance
A marvelous art book that reveals the unknown face of the Renaissance and the craze for monsters.
Hieronymous Bosch is known throughout the world as a painter of monstrous creatures and fantastic scenes that seem the output of dreamlike visions. His fame did not begin in the Netherlands, where the artist was born, but in 16th-century southern Europe, which was artistically dominated by themes and styles typical of Renaissance classicism, very far from those of the Flemish painter.
This book, in addition to presenting Bosch, aims to illustrate the success of his art in the high societies of Italy, Spain, and the Americas in the period between the 16th and early 17th centuries, with particular reference to the collecting trends of the time in these two countries, where the works of Bosch and his followers were in great demand (by the Spanish Habsburgs, the Grimani in Venice, etc.). These works, in turn, inspired a large number of painters, draftsmen, engravers, and other prominent artists, including his successor, the much-renowned Bruegel the Elder.
The book thus sheds new and surprising light on a particular “Renaissance” that has always remained in the shadows compared to the classicism of Raphael, Titian, and Parmigianino, but which had actually a strong artistic and cultural impact in various parts of Europe, with often grotesque or “anticlassical” expressions such as the cycle of tapestries by Bosch at the Escorial, the paintings by masters such as Titian and El Greco, the works of engravers such as Giorgio Ghisi, and sculptors and decorators such as Bernardo Buontalenti, and finally, the culture of the Wunderkammer.
HR Giger
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. In retrospect, this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger’s biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.
This book was begun shortly before the artist’s untimely death and shows the complete story of Giger’s life and art, his sculptures, film work, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist’s museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of Giger’s oeuvre and world while an extensive artist biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger’s own writings.

Colour and Culture
A groundbreaking, award-winning analysis of colour in Western culture, from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century by one of the most foremost authors on the subject.
What does the language of colour tell us? Where does one colour begin and another end? Is it a radiant visual stimulus, an intangible function of light, or a material substance to be moulded and arrayed? Colour is fundamental to art, yet so diverse that it has hardly ever been studied in a comprehensive way. Art historian John Gage considers every conceivable aspect of the subject in this groundbreaking analysis of colour in Western culture, from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century.
Gage describes the first theories of colour, articulated by Greek philosophers, and subsequent attempts by the Romans and their Renaissance disciples to organize it systematically or endow it with symbolic power. He unfolds its religious significance and its use in heraldry, as well as how Renaissance artists approached colour with the help of alchemists. He explores the analysis of the spectrum undertaken by Newton and continued in the nineteenth century by artists such as Seurat, traces the influence of Goethe's colour theory, and considers the extraordinary theories and practices that attempted to unite colour and music, or make colour into an entirely abstract language of its own.
The first-ever undertaking to suggest answers to many perennial questions about the role of colour in Western art and thought, this study throws fresh light on the hidden meanings of many familiar masterpieces.

The Little Book of Art History
An easy and extensive introduction to art history that appeals to both younger and older readers.
This book gives everyone, young and old, an easy and accessible introduction to the history of art – from cave paintings to contemporary art. With humorous illustrations and texts written in an approachable language, the book provides an overview of both isms, styles, and significant artists not only making the reader better equipped to meet art in real life but also inspiring us to actually seek it out.
The Danish version of The Little Book of Art History was first published in 2014 and has been acclaimed by readers and critics alike. In March 2023 the book was published in its fourth edition, which had been extended with 90 extra pages. The additions were made with focus on broadening the selection of represented artists – in terms of geography, culture and gender – and genres, including performance, street art and video art.
The book is richly illustrated with original drawings by the author himself and also contains a time line of art history from 30,000 BC up until today and a glossary, which are both illustrated.
A Chronology of Art
Most surveys of the history of art come neatly packaged. They are divided up into historic periods, artistic schools and movements, and the careers of individual painters. They may make the subject appear more manageable, but they are oversimplifications. In reality, movements and careers overlapped and intertwined, reacting to events in the world around them.
A Chronology of Art places the genuine developments of the art world into sharp focus. By prioritizing a purely chronological approach and side-stepping the clichés of conventional, academic pigeonholes, it presents an entirely fresh perspective on the subject. The book is structured around a central timeline, which features lavish illustrations of paintings, together with commentaries, and additional information about the social, political and cultural events of the period. The text is divided into four historical sections, becoming more detailed as it nears the present. From 1800 onward, each spread covers a five-year span, which is far more comprehensive than other surveys of this kind. The chronological spreads are interwoven with lively ‘In Focus’ features, highlighting social, stylistic and technical developments.
Gombrich: Tajemství obrazu a jazyk umění, 5. vydání
Ernst Hans Gombrich (1909–2001) je bezesporu nejznámějším a nejpopulárnějším historikem umění dvacátého století. Široká veřejnost ho zná jako autora Příběhu umění, fascinujícího bestselleru, jehož se ve světě prodalo přes šest milionů výtisků. Byl však především uznávaným badatelem a teoretikem v oblasti umění, jehož podnětné odborné práce si zaslouží pozornost.
Kniha Gombrich. Tajemství obrazu a jazyk umění je především čtivým a přístupným úvodem do dějin a teorie umění. Jejím cílem není, řečeno s Gombrichem, poskytovat čtenáři výčet suchých dat, periodizací a nezáživných popisů známých děl, ale chce je naučit obrazy pozorně vnímat a dějinám umění skutečně porozumět.
Kniha vznikla na základě autorova dlouholetého zájmu o otázky spojené se vznikem a interpretací uměleckého díla. Neomezuje se pouze na dějiny umění, ale pohybuje se i v oblasti estetiky, filosofie, psychologie a také sociobiologie, přičemž odkazuje jak na významné Gombrichovy vídeňské současníky, kteří ho ovlivnili (např. filosofa Karla R. Poppera či etologa Konrada Lorenze), tak na jeho následovníky zabývající se psychologií obrazového znázorňování.
Úspěšná publikace, označovaná kritikou za „druhý příběh umění“, vychází v pátém vydání, tentokrát v měkké vazbě s barevnými reprodukcemi.
The Power of Art
A dazzling new history of the world and a popular introduction to art history by a renowned expert
To read most histories of art, you might be forgiven for supposing that great artists are superhuman, and the knowledge of different movements, periods and styles is essential to truly appreciate art.
It's time to look at art in a new way.
THE POWER OF ART delves into the stories behind remarkable acts of creation in fifteen global cities at pivotal moments of artistic brilliance. It shows how art is an integral part of our daily lives, embedded in the very fabric of our existence. From the enduring wonders of ancient Babylon to the menacing pastel architecture of contemporary Pyongyang, eminent curator Caroline Campbell intertwines the stories of artists with the broader social, cultural and political landscapes of their time.
In each vivid episode, Campbell reveals how art, in all its forms, is a testament to humanity's inventiveness and ingenuity: it has served our fundamental needs for shelter, sustenance, spirituality, pleasure, order and community. But it can also evoke envy, anger, greed, and even be used as a means of social control.
Spanning thousands of years of creativity, THE POWER OF ART will ignite your imagination and open your eyes to the art that surrounds us, whether it be a painting in a gallery, a public sculpture or an everyday object with hidden beauty.

Podmínky a předpoklady
Publikace vychází z disertační práce, jež se soustředí na šedesátá léta, které bylo pro československou výtvarnou kritiku důležitým obdobím. Autorka v jednotlivých částech knihy hledá odpověď na otázku, jak pracovat s kritikou a nabízí možné vymezení výtvarné kritiky jako žánru. Dále se zaměřuje na vnější podmínky, jež nemohli kritici a kritičky sami ovlivnit, ale mohli s nimi pracovat, využívat jejich možnosti a samozřejmě se také museli přizpůsobovat jejich pravidlům. Třetí část textu se pak věnuje vnitřním oborovým předpokladům, které formovaly diskurz i podobu jednotlivých textů.
