Toto je připomínka padesáti let existence Činoherního studia v Ústí nad Labem. Scéna vznikla ve vypjaté normalizační době na troskách politickou mocí zrušeného Kladivadla. Činoherní studio se brzy prosadilo jako neobycejně živé divadlo s osobitou dramaturgií a schopností přitahovat zejména mladé publikum. Originální dramaturgii, režijní a herecký styl si divadlo udrželo i po pádu komunistického režimu. Životní etapy „Činoheráku“ přibližují čtenárům nejen texty mapující vývoj, ale také rozhovory s tvůrci a pamětníky, nebo vzpomínkově laděné příspěvky a výpovědi.

In an age of pandemics the relationship between the health of the city and good sanitation has never been more important. Waste and the City is a call to action on one of modern urban life's most neglected issues: sanitation infrastructure. The Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare the devastating consequences of unequal access to sanitation in cities across the globe. At this critical moment in global public health, Colin McFarlane makes the urgent case for Sanitation for All. The book outlines the worldwide sanitation crisis and offers a vision for a renewed, equitable investment in sanitation that democratises and socialises the modern city. Adopting Henri Lefebvre's concept of 'the right to the city', it uses the notion of 'citylife' to reframe the discourse on sanitation from a narrowly-defined policy discussion to a question of democratic right to public life and health. In doing so, the book shows that sanitation is an urbanizing force whose importance extends beyond hygiene to the very foundation of urban social life.

Over one hundred of the most outstanding photographs taken by photographer, model, and surrealist muse Lee Miller, published in anticipation of the film Lee starring Kate Winslet as Miller. Photojournalist, war correspondent, model, and surrealist muse, Lee Miller was one of the most important women photographers of the twentieth century, working in the fields of photojournalism, fashion, portraiture, and advertising. This book presents over one hundred of Miller’s finest works in a single volume. Introduced to photography at an early age, Miller honed her craft in Paris, where she associated with the surrealists and other avant-garde artists, including Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso. Together with Man Ray, she discovered the distinctive technique of solarization to create mesmerizing halo effects. After establishing her own photographic studio in New York, where she became a prominent commercial photographer, she then moved to the Middle East and Europe before becoming the official war photographer for Vogue, a period during which she took many of her most iconic photographs. This evocative book collects Miller’s most famous documentary, fashion, and war works, as well as photographs of Miller. They are all carefully compiled by her son, photographer Antony Penrose, with a foreword by actress Kate Winslet, who will star as Miller in the film Lee. 2 color and 120 black-and-white illustrations

The third in Dian Hanson’s wildly successful series on erotic body parts explores how the female leg became central to women’s emancipation, from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque shows of the 1800s, the nylon-mania of the ’40s, and the golden age of leg magazines in the ’60s. From the Tip of the Toes to the Top of the Hose Running the gamut of gorgeous gams The female leg is a sexual oddity. Non-genital, and nearly identical in structure to the corresponding male body part, there is no obvious reason why it’s eroticized. Yet, through much of history, across many cultures, the female leg was hidden from sight and treated as such a taboo topic that it became an object of intense sexual obsession. In the Victorian era the word “leg” was so forbidden that it couldn’t be uttered in polite society, lest men be driven wild with lust. Even now, 100 years after women’s legs came out of hiding, their allure remains strong. In this third book of Dian Hanson’s wildly successful body parts series she explores how freeing the female leg became central to women’s liberation, beginning with the post-French Revolution cancan and ending with the 1960’s Sexual Revolution miniskirt. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque “leg shows” of the 1800s, the silk-stockinged flappers of the 1920s, the nylon-mania of the 1940s, the dawn of the stiletto heel in the 1950s, all leading to the golden age of leg magazines in the 1960s. Learn who wore the first high heels, how nylons became a weapon of war, why Betty Grable’s were the million dollar legs, where Elmer Batters got his start, and just what the deal is with feet, while enjoying great vintage photos by Irving Klaw, Batters and other masters of leg art.

The Big Butt Book explores our fascination with female booty from high, round and perky to badonkadonk, in over 400 photos, interspersed with interviews including thic goddess Buffie the Body, porn icon John (Buttman) Stagliano, filmmaker Tinto Brass, and artist Robert Crumb, as well as the best and most bootylicious of contemporary butt models. Sweet cheeks A cornucopia of delectable derri?res The Kama Sutra gives detailed instructions on how to spank it. Contemporary Italians touch it for luck before placing a bet. Americans are having it cosmetically enhanced at rates approaching breast enlargement surgery. The female butt, tush, culo, or derri?re has always inspired awe, fantasy, and slavish devotion. Curiously, its primary purpose is functional rather than aesthetic: butts balance our bodies while running, according to biologists. But ask any pygophiliac—as fundament fans are clinically termed—and you’ll get the same answer: female hindquarters exist to please the eye, the hands, and parts south. A pert posterior causes instant arousal, as Zora Neale Hurston observed in Their Eyes Were Watching God: "The men noticed her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets." Or, as rapper Sir Mix-a-lot proclaimed, "My anaconda don’t want none, unless you’ve got buns, hun." Having all but disappeared from western culture in the breast-obsessed second half of the 20th century, the fully formed fanny is currently enjoying a massive resurgence, attributed by some to American actress Jennifer Lopez, by others to the rise of booty-centric hip hop culture. Yet this rage for shapely butts is nothing new. The ancient Greeks worshipped at the temple of Aphrodite Kallipygos, Goddess of the Beautiful Buttocks, while a womanly rump has always been an object of worship in most of the southern hemisphere. The Big Butt Book explores this perennial fascination with female booty—from small and taut to large and sumptuous—in the fourth installment of Dian Hanson’s critically acclaimed body parts series. Over 400 photos from 1900 to the present day, including works by Elmer Batters, Ellen von Unwerth, Jean-Paul Goude, Ralph Gibson, Richard Kern, Jan Saudek, Ed Fox, Terry Richardson and Sante D’Orazio, of butts ranging from petite Pam Anderson’s to sumptuous Serena Williams’, are contextualized by interviews with porn icon John (Buttman) Stagliano, filmmaker Tinto Brass, artist Robert Crumb, bootylicious butt queens Buffie The Body, Coco and Brazil’s Watermelon Woman,plus Eve Howard and her life-long spanking obsession.

Publikace se snaží nastolit „pragmatický“ přístup k výtvarnému umění a tvorbě obrazů. Ty zde nejsou představovány primárně jako estetický objekt, jímž se jeví na úrovní osobního chápání, ale jsou s mnoha důkazy zkoumány jako významný a ničím jiným nezastupitelný sociální proces, nezbytný k vynalézání a testování nových obrazových znaků, potřebných pro zvládnutí nových sociálních kontextů. Takto založený koncept obrazu, výtvarného umění, jeho teorie a dějin, včetně jeho pedagogiky, zde představuje tuto oblast jako ucelený systém s jistou funkcionalitou a směřováním, mnohdy v protikladu k mínění, že nic takového v umění hledat nelze, neboť nejcennější na něm je jeho nezaměřenost a jeho svoboda, usilování o nezávislost jeho existence a maximalizace jeho estetického účinku, které v kantovské tradici jakýkoli další účel vylučují. V tomto kontextu však už nestačí učit se pouze užívání (kritice) těchto vizuálních znaků jako takových, ale je třeba porozumět celému procesu, v němž znaky vznikají a jsou socializovány. Při tomto zkoumání se postupně vyjevují některé souvislosti, vázané na rehabilitaci pojmu struktura v pojetí Jana Mukařovského - strukturní představa o vývoji umění a o jeho funkčním, pragmatickém začleňování do aktivního fungování society; představa o obraze, o zobrazení jako postupně se vyvíjející struktuře vizuálních znaků (což znamená také ovšem i navyšující se množství jejich vzájemných vztahů!), funkčně směřující skrze individuálně podmíněné jedinečné vnímání a poznávání k sociální kooperaci a koordinaci. Klíčová slova: výtvarné umění, obraz, struktura, interaktivita, sociální kooperace a koordinace. The publication aims to introduce a “pragmatic” approach to visual arts and the creation of images. It presents images not primarily as aesthetic objects, which they seem to be through subjective perception; instead, it uses a body of evidence to examine images as a significant social process that cannot be substituted by anything else and that is essential for the inventing and testing of new visual signs required to deal with new social contexts. This concept of image, visual art and its theory, history and pedagogy is used here to represent the entire area as a coherent system with a certain functionality and orientation; in some parts this concept contradicts the opinion that nothing of that sort can be sought in art because the most valuable aspect of art is its absence of focus, its freedom and striving for an independent existence and for a maximisation of its aesthetic effect, which, in line with the Kantian tradition, rules out any other purpose. In this context, however, it is no longer enough only to learn how to use (or criticise) these visual signs as such; it is necessary to understand the entire process in which these signs are created and socialized. This examination process gradually reveals certain connections related to the restoration of the term “structure” as it was understood by Jan Mukařovský: a structural idea of the development of art and its functional, pragmatic integration into the active functioning of the society; an idea of image, or depiction, as a gradually evolving structure of visual signs (which also implies, of course, an increasing amount of their mutual relations!), functionally striving, through individually conditioned unique perception and cognition, for social cooperation and coordination. Keywords: visual art, image, structure, interaction, social cooperation and coordination.

Rammed earth is a wall building technique that uses earth, chalk, lime and gravel as raw materials. It is an ancient building method that has experienced a renaissance in recent years as people seek greener and more sustainable building materials and naturalconstruction methods. Rammed earth walls are simple to construct, non-combustible, thermally massive, strong and durable. However, they can be labour-intensive to construct without machinery and are susceptible to water damage if not properly protected or maintained. Rammed earth buildings are found on almost every continent, in a range of environments including the temperate and humid regions of northern Europe, semi-arid deserts, mountain and country areas and the tropics. The availability of usable soil and a building design suited to local climatic conditions are factors favouring their use. This book is a compilation of the most relevant international examples of this interesting building technique.

Kniha zachycuje jedinečné setkání Theodora a Jana Pištěka, otce a syna, dvou vynikajících malířů, kteří se představili v roce 2022 na přehlídce Dva světy v pražské Galerii Villa Pellé. Šlo o významnou událost: přes nejužší příbuzenskou vazbu totiž společně nikdy nevystavovali. Theodor je klíčovou osobností hyperrealistického malířství a jeho tvorba kostýmního návrháře mu přinesla světové uznání. Jan zaujímá důležité postavení v postmoderní generaci, jež vstoupila na uměleckou scénu na přelomu osmdesátých a devadesátých 20. století. Každý má svůj nezaměnitelný styl vycházející z osobitého vidění skutečnosti a oba jsou perfekcionisti. Kniha přibližuje úctyhodné rodinné kořeny, ukazuje všechny vystavené obrazy a plastiky a zároveň pro budoucnosti uchovává podobu přehlídky, jež měla mimořádný divácký ohlas.

Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. Philippe Starck defines him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom. This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Featuring designs from award-winning private homes, churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces throughout Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the USA, this XXL-edition brings you up close and personal with a Modernist master. Also available in an Art Edition limited to 100 copies, with an original sketch signed by Tadao Ando and a Natural Oak box designed by Ando.

He’s been called a genius and a poet, but also a misogynist, a pornographer, a monster?but Nobuyoshi Araki’s work transcends simple moralistic classifications. He has said of his work: “There is no conclusion. It’s completely open. It doesn’t go anywhere.” One of the greatest Japanese photographers of our time, Araki’s oeuvre is marked by an unmistakable mastery of composition, color, and tone. Meaning “the beauty of tight binding,” Kinbaku-bi, the traditional Japanese art of erotic bondage has long fascinated the photographer, becoming one of his most important subjects. Araki plays with patterns of subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock. Whether literally or figuratively, his models are certainly immobilized, but in the most tantalizing ways?girls lay bound but defiant, suspended from the ceiling, in traditional dress or nude, face-on, sometimes with a flower subtly positioned between their legs. Araki picks his all-time favorite images of bondage. The result is a testament to his ability to tantalizing balance sexual vulnerability and seduction like no other.

One part history book, one part art book, and one part fascinating memoir, this book is an overview of more than two centuries of tattoo history intermixed with an intimate look at the lives of tattoo artists, and the personal struggles and triumphs, occupational hazards, and artistic courage that have defined so much of this history. For the last forty years, Henk Schiffmacher has poured his heart and soul into his collection, amassing tattoo drawings, designs, photographs, and artifacts from around the world. Each of the book's chapters features many never-before-seen highlights from this collection and includes lithographs, etchings, tattooing instruments, original drawings, and tattoo designs known in the business as flash, among them extremely rare vintage flash sheets from major players in early Western tattooing. The vastness and variety of tattooing around the world is chronicled in the book's hundreds of images, including the indigenous tattooing of the Maori and South Pacific islanders, the ancient traditions of Asia, and the origins of old-school Western tattooing in Europe and the United States. The book also features a dozen original illustrations by Schiffmacher in his inimitable style. Schiffmacher brings a fascinating perspective to tattoo history through his personal reflections and wild tales of adventure. In this book, we learn not only about the history of tattooing, but also about the adventures behind the making of one of the largest tattoo collections in the world, by a self-taught tattoo artist in love with the art and its innovators.
