A History of the World (in Dingbats)
The phenomenally creative musician and filmmaker David Byrne presents new artwork that explores daily life in surprising ways, with unique reflections on shared human experiences - a book for our time from a highly influential artist
Through striking and humorous figurative drawings, the iconic artist and musician David Byrne depicts daily life in intriguing ways. His illustrations, created while under quarantine, expand on the dingbat, a typographic ornament used to illuminate or break up blocks of text, to explore the nuances of life under lockdown and evoke the complex, global systems the pandemic cast in bright light. Edited and designed by Alex Kalman in close collaboration with Byrne, this unique book reflects on shared experiences and presents history as a story that is continually undergoing revision.
Reči a úvahy o choreografii ľudového tanca
Nie je to učebnica, ale veľa vás naučí. Nie je to príručka, ale je vhodné, aby ju mal po ruke každý, kto sa zaoberá folklórom. Prináša veľké množstvo súčasných poznatkov o choreografickej práci ako aj skúsenosti, názory a úvahy mnohých majstrov choreografie. Jano Blaho.
Vlado Urban vo svojej knihe žiada iných choreografov, aby vyjadrili svoj názor, svoj pohľad, čo de facto znamená, že rešpektuje, toleruje a vníma aj iné pohľady na umeleckú tvorbu, ako svoj vlastný. A to by podľa mňa malo byť základom akéhokoľvek umenia – úcta, pokora a tolerancia k práci iných, pretože neexistuje jediná správna definícia umeleckej tvorby. V tom je táto práca krásna.

Anna Atkins
The English illustrator Anna Atkins (1799-1871) was in every respect a modern woman. For the publication of her plant collections she used the latest technology, the recently invented cyanotype. In 1843 she used the process to create the first photo book in history, with images of breathtaking beauty and originality which often look like modern art.
At first Anna Atkins worked for and with her father, the zoologist John George Children; later she chose the objects for her scientific compositions herself: algae and ferns. Atkins placed them on light-sensitive paper that turned dark blue in water after being developed, with the exception of the places that had been covered by the plants. Initially alone, and then with her friend Anne Dixon, she produced well over 10,000 copies of her photograms and assembled them in several books like albums. Today these rare copies are regarded as treasures and are preserved in museums and libraries.
Hudba ohně
Rozšířené a upravené vydání kultovní hudební publikace, která oslavila jedenáct let od prvního vydání. Hudba ohně dává českému čtenáři možnost získat ucelený přehled o dějinách černošské hudby a pochopit současné žánry jako rap, house nebo dubstep v jejich historických i myšlenkových souvislostech. Od nedobrovolných pasažérů otrokářských lodí až po dunící reproduktory klubových soundsystémů vypráví hypertextový labyrint osudy revolucionářů, pro něž se hudba stala mocnou zbraní. Kromě vzniku a vývoje dalších hudebních žánrů, jako jsou funk, disco či soul, nabízí i vhled do příbuzných segmentů afroamerické kultury jako gangsta rap, stand-up komika či blaxploitation filmy.
Nové vydání doplňuje příběh černé hudby o události poslední dekády nástup trapu a drillu, úspěchy žen v rapu či vlnu nové angažovanosti afroamerické hudby v souvislosti s hnutím Black Lives Matter. Průvodce od Jamese Browna a Milese Davise přes Prince a Michaela Jacksona ke Kanye Westovi a Drakeovi vás zároveň seznámí s klíčovými termíny, jako jsou remix, sampling, pirátská rádia, voodoo, zombies, afro-futurismus, slam, mixtapes nebo turntablismus.

Stříbrná a modrá: šperky z Číny v Náprstkově muzeu / Silver and Blue: Jewellery from China in the Ná
První práce v českém jazyce, která přináší ucelené informace o šperku z Číny. Zaměřuje se na sbírku v Náprstkově muzeu pocházející z období konce dynastie Čching (16441911). Tím, že tato sbírka zastupuje materiály, techniky výroby a typy, které se objevují během celé historie čínského šperkařství, je možné na jejich příkladu ukázat, jakou roli šperky zastávaly v tradiční čínské společnosti. Kromě toho přibližuje osobnosti a příběhy spojené s touto sbírkou. Práce je určena zájemcům o dějiny šperkařství, sběratelství a čínské umělecké řemeslo. Dvojjazyčné, česko-anglické vydání, bohatý obrazový doprovod.
The present monograph is the first Czech language study to provide comprehensive information about jewellery in China. It focuses on the Late Qing Dynasty (16441911) collection in the Náprstek Museum. However, it represents the materials, techniques, and types that have appeared throughout the history of Chinese jewellery-making and shows the role of jewellery in traditional Chinese society. In addition, it also presents personalities and acquisition histories associated with this collection. This work is intended for those interested in the history of jewellery, collecting, and Chinese arts and crafts.
The Art Of Chinese Living: An Inheritance Of Tradition (In 4 Volumes)
Chronicling the traditions of Chinese life and culture, The Art of Chinese Living is a visual cornucopia and an epic cultural immersion into everything from cuisine and history to art and rituals, calligraphy and music to artefacts and interiors, and from widespread national traditions to the minutiae of daily family life.
Spanning over 1,100 stunning pages and divided into the four seasons, this lavish four-volume set in a cloth-bound slipcase is alive with culture. The passion and research that have gone into producing this masterpiece are palpable on every page, from the 10,000 commissioned photographs and illustrations to the incredible gatefold pages and painstaking detail. It is a love letter to Chinese culture written by a mother keen to share her passion for incredible traditions both big and small with her own children, and those of families around the world - whether looking to rekindle a connection with their own traditions or eager to learn more about China, its history and culture.
From recipes and home-made gift ideas to an epic timeline of Chinese dynasties and cultural artefacts, The Art of Chinese Living is a joy to behold and a treasure to share.
In the words of the author, 'This volume of books is a gift to all the Chinese people, as well as all who have a love for Chinese culture. My objective was to enable everyone to access Chinese culture in their everyday lives, rather than something that could only be appreciated in museums or history books.'
Estetika ambiguity
Setrvávání v ambiguitě stojí v základu naší zkušenosti s uměleckými díly. Dvojznačnost je zakleta v žánru i v obsahu, v pohybu mezi filozofickým zkoumáním a uměleckou expresí, v napětí mezi estetickými postoji zaměřenými na krásno a postoji etickými a politickými. V jednotlivých kapitolách věnovaných dílům Adrieny Šimotové, atonální hudbě nebo současnému politickému videoartu se Bierhanzl odpichuje především od nosných motivů z esteticko-filozofických úvah E. Levinase, R. Barthese a M. Foucaulta a ukazuje umělecké dílo jako odraz vládnoucích poměrů i jako vytváření nové, ryze estetické skutečnosti neredukovatelné na historická a sociální určení.

Investing in Wristwatches: Rolexes
Why do we collect? For some, it is a pursuit of pure passion - those who appreciate the wristwatch as an artform: the intricacy of its mechanics, the finesse of its form. Yet for others, collecting is an investment, and a watch's value is of as much importance as its appearance. All collectors ought to have a guide to models and market value. Investing in Wristwatches: Rolex offers detailed insights into the world of authenticating and pricing high-value wristwatches, which will be of use to collectors from amateur to connoisseur.
This publication includes the vast majority of key Rolex models, along with their relevant auction results. The timepieces featured have been carefully selected by Senior Horological Expert, Osvaldo Patrizzi. These wristwatches excel for a diverse range of reasons, including technical excellence, auction records, design and anecdotal history. A description of each watch is accompanied by its picture, reference and sales values (rights included).
A comparative analysis of auction results, compiled through close collaboration with the Sotheby's auction house, shows, by brand and timepiece, the evolution of prices over time, leading from the Eighties up to the present day. A system to calculate the currency exchange rate at the time of auction sales will also be included in this vital work of reference.

Manifesting a distinct simplicity, monochromatic hues can make a statement in the midst of all the surrounding visual noise. By consciously capitalising on a sole colour or a tonal palette, the designers in PALETTE mini 07 - Monotone have created variety out of singularity without rigour or restraint, as seen through the thoughtful formulations, materials, and techniques that bring their branding, packaging, and interior projects to life.
Rebecca Horn
Reality and fiction, matter and spirit, subject and object - the artist Rebecca Horn constantly blurs these boundaries. Even the different media she uses are not clearly separated but their interweaving is part of her artistic principle. This catalog, published to accompany the artist's comprehensive exhibition at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, is dedicated to this aspect of her work. Essays by renowned authors provide new perspectives on Horn's oeuvre, which spans five decades: from her early body instruments and performances, to her feature films and kinetic sculptures, to her site-specific installations, drawings, and poems. The countless connections to art, literature, and film traditions are illuminated, as well as Horn's proximity to subjects from mythology and myths.
Městská galerie - Obrazy s příběhem
Devět předních českých výtvarníků - devět velkoplošných realizací na zdech domů v brněnském Bronxu!
František Skála, Eva Koťátková, Vendula Chalánková, Milivoj Husák, TIMO a další, včetně světově uznávaného Rusa Marata Danilyana!
Městská galerie v brněnském Bronxu bude už brzy největší pouliční galerií ve střední Evropě. Město Brno a spolek Nový Bronx spojili své síly v projektu, který chce vrátit někdejší sociálně-vyloučenou lokalitu nedaleko brněnského centra zpátky do městského celku. Lokalita známá jako Bronx prochází dynamickou proměnou a Městská galerie chce dále zvýšit její potenciál stát se kreativní čtvrtí s pestrým uličním životem, přitažlivou pro návštěvníky, kteří před sterilním turismem preferují možnost poznávat tak trochu "jiné město".
Příběh celého projektu, který odstartoval v roce 2019, včetně intimních profilů jednotlivých realizací, napsal iniciátor projektu, spisovatel Martin Reiner. Kniha je vybavena skvělými fotografiemi Petra Soldána a několika dalších fotografů.
Kniha vychází s podporou statutárního města Brna.
Ako prežiť umenie
Toto je kniha o tom, ako sa cítime, keď sme trebárs v ateliéri alebo len v triede, pri hrnčiarskom kruhu alebo za klavírom, pred maliarskym stojanom či za fotoaparátom, a snažíme sa robiť to, čo musíme. Hľadáme v nej odpoveď na otázku, ako môžeme naložiť s vlastnou budúcnosťou, ak uprednostíme slobodnú vôľu pred determinizmom a vlastné rozhodnutie pred náhodou. Preskúmajte spolu s nami, ako tento proces prebieha, prečo sa nám niekedy nedarí a z akých dôvodov to už veľa z nás zavesilo na klinec.
Toto je kniha o tom, ako sa robí umenie.

Giger
"At its essence, Giger's art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb." -Ridley Scott
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. Yet 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.
Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger's unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger's life and art, his sculptures, film design, 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 the artist's oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger's own statements.

Lacná kniha Prečo umenie? (-10%)
PREČO UMENIE?
Odpovede na najčastejšie otázky kladené v galériách
Kto je umelec? Prečo chodiť do galérie? Musím umeniu vždy rozumieť? Akú má umenie hodnotu? A ako spoznám umelecké dielo? To je len niekoľko z viac než tridsiatich otázok, na ktoré kniha odpovedá. Otázky sú doplnené o desiatky reprodukcií diel zo zbierok spolupracujúcich inštitúcií a zábavné ilustrácie umelca Kakalíka. Výber otázok je výsledkom práce autorov, ktorí majú niekoľkoročné skúsenosti s galerijným vzdelávaním a prácou so študentmi. Ich cieľom je sprístupniť súčasné umenie, jeho vývoj a historické korene nenásilnou cestou študentom a pedagógom základných a stredných škôl. Aj preto je možné publikáciu vnímať ako "svojráznu učebnicu", ktorá umenie predstavuje naprieč hranicami, pomáha pochopeniu rôznych prístupov v súčasnom umení a zároveň ho predstavuje ako dôležitú súčasť každodenného života.

Keramika Ivett Axamitová
Veľkorysá monografia autora Jozefa Jurinu, nám približuje život a dielo IVETT AXAMITOVEJ. Keramikárka, ktorá na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne pôsobí už viac ako 30 rokov, nám približuje súlad krásy, vznešenosti a duchovna. Veľmi citlivo nás vťahuje do jej tvorby a nákazlivo sa prihovára našej duši. Ľudská duša patrí do okruhu námetov, ktoré výtvarničku zaujímajú, ktoré analyzuje, obmieňa a stvárňuje v rôznych podobách. Oscilácia medzi konkrétnym a abstraktným výrazom otvára jej tvorbe bohaté možnosti improvizácie, použitím farby a materialu v silnej emócii pôsobenia diela v priestore.
Prostredsníctvom monografie nám autor približuje ženu voňajúcu hlinou. Kompozíciu farieb, jemných dotykov a nespútanosť bujnej fantázie. Pec, v ktorej dielo začína svoj život, svoju existenciu. Prihovára sa nám samotná hlina, ktorá hovorí o úmysle tvorcu. Autor nám odovzdáva jasné svedectvo, ktoré všetci potrebujeme.
V hline je základ našej existencie.
V tomto pochopení tkvie úspech ženy voňajúcej hlinou
Spike Lee
Spike Lee is a world-renowned, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, a cultural icon, and one of the most prominent voices on race and racism for more than three decades. His prolific career has included over 35 films, including his directorial debut She's Gotta Have It (1986), his seminal masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989), and more recently, his Oscar-winning film BlacKkKlansman (2018). Spike Lee’s provocative feature films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos, have shone the spotlight on significant stories and have made an indelible mark in both cinematic history and in contemporary society.
This career-spanning monograph titled SPIKE is a visual celebration of his life and career to date. The custom bold, typographic design is inspired by the LOVE/HATE brass rings that Radio Raheem wore in Do the Right Thing and that Spike Lee wore at the 2019 Academy Awards. The gold foil deboss on SPIKE on the vibrant fuchsia front cover is a bold and beautiful, eye-catching design. Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs by David Lee, Spike’s brother and long-time still photographer, SPIKE the book, includes behind-the-scenes, insider images that underscore his creative process and his significant impact on the culture at large. From his critically acclaimed film Malcolm X (1992) starring Denzel Washington, to his recent film Da 5 Bloods (2020) featuring the late Chadwick Boseman, Spike Lee’s work continues to resonate now more than ever.
