Další svazek edice Deset představuje tvorbu mladé úspěšné autorky Anny Krištofíkové, studentky ateliéru kresby AVU. Anna Krištofíková (*1999) ve své tvorbě pracuje s motivem autoportrétu coby nástrojem sebeanalýzy a zkoumání vnitřních krajin duše. Symbolistní poetika metafor masek, klíčů, zámků a nočních motýlů rozehrává důmyslné psychologické rébusy, a zároveň tvoří soukolí melancholických vizí a snů, které je možno vykládat nejen coby výtvarné objekty, ale i jako filozofické alegorie autorčiny vlastní složité kosmologie. Krištofíková nám ve svých dílech připomíná naši vlastní fenomenologickou omylnost a odhrnuje oponu iluzorní reality vnímané prostřednictvím subjektivních mentálních reprezentací.

Druhá strana dojmov


Kniha Druhá strana dojmov problematizuje časovosť umeleckého diela, vzťah medzi umením a sociálnou realitou či vzťahy teórie umenia k umeleckej praxi. Marcel Proust je v nej predstavený nielen ako originálny spisovateľ, ale aj ako jedinečný estetik a filozof. Autor koncipuje pojmy a kategórie potrebné na koherentnú interpretáciu takého zložitého a roz-poruplného umeleckého jazyka, aký vytvoril Marcel Proust. Skúma prechody medzi sociálnym a kontemplatívnym bytím, ale aj rôzne módy vnímania, ktoré nás Proust necháva zažívať prostredníctvom svojho hrdinu: binárne, kaleidoskopické, teleskopické, mikroskopické, kinematografické vnímanie a nakoniec aj stereoskopické vnímanie, ktoré zabezpečuje rozvinutie reality v čase. Namiesto riešenia tradičných „proustologických“ sporov kniha otvára oveľa všeobecnejšiu diskusiu o povahe kreativity a prenose estetických dojmov. Osou celého textu je však problém autonómie umenia, ktorý autor považuje za kľúč k Proustovej estetike.

Notes on Book Design


Insightful texts on book design that explore the visual, tactile, and cultural aspects of books through the perspective of graphic designers Fifty readings on book design, authored by Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Formal Settings, unfold across the pages of this volume. Drawn from a curated selection of titles in the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room – a conceptual bookshop and event space in Berlin – each text focuses on a single book, examining its visual and tactile qualities, from materials and layout to binding and typography. “Our aim is to understand the role and potential of books through a design lens, mapping what they communicate through their physical form.” The authors guide readers through the intricacies of book design, showing how form can become message – how a book can serve as a vessel, a statement, and an object of beauty in its own right. They explore and examine each book as a design object, situating it within the cultural movements, political climates, and economic conditions in which it was produced. This publication reveals how book design can foster shared languages and cultures, create space for the exchange and exploration of ideas, and underscore the social and cultural dimensions of design itself. With an afterword by designer, author, and teacher Prem Krishnamurthy, providing further context and insight into the project.

Women and Their Jewels


The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel, a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewellery is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness. For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jewelled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Begum Om Habibeh, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewellery in the middle of the street... In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewellery expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewellery boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds. The women featured are: Ava Gardner Barbara Hutton Brooke Astor Elizabeth II Elizabeth Taylor Eugénie de Montijo Grace Kelly Helena Rubinstein Jackie Kennedy Diana, Princess of Wales Maria Callas Marie-Antoinette Princess Soraya Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor Begum Om Habibeh

Opera Wars


Blunt, irreverent, and at times wittily subversive, Opera Wars spotlights opera's colorful and sometimes warring personalities, increasingly fierce controversies over content, and the battles being waged for its economic future. Drawing on interviews with dozens of opera insiders-as well as her own experience as an award-winning librettist, trained vocalist, opera company director, and arts commentator-Caitlin Vincent deftly unravels clichés and presumptions, exposing such debates as how much fidelity is owed to long-dead opera composers whose plots often stir racial and gender sensitivities, whether there's any cure for typecasting that leaves talented performers out of work and other performers chained to the same roles, and what explains the bizarre kowtowing of opera companies to the demands of traditionalist patrons. Vincent never shrinks from depicting the industry's top-to-bottom messiness and its stubborn resistance to change. Yet, like a lover who can't quite break away, she always comes back to her veneration for the artform and in these pages stirringly evokes those moments on stage that can be counted on to make ardent fans of the most skeptical.
