100 Artists' Manifestos


In this one-of-a-kind volume, indispensable for students of art, architecture and film, Alex Danchev presents 100 Artists' Manifestos, each reproduced with an introduction on the author and the associated movement, in Penguin Modern Classics. This remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years is cacophony of voices from such diverse movements as Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism, Vorticism, Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way film, architecture, fashion, and cookery. Artists' manifestos are nothing if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and frequently offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking demands. This collection gathers together an international array of artists of every stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dali, Oldenburg, Vertov, Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George, together with their allies and collaborators - such figures as Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Editor Alex Danchev is the author of an acclaimed biography of artist Georges Braque and is Professor of International Relations at the University of Nottingham. His other works include Alanbrooke War Diaries: Field Marshall Lord Alanbrooke, The Iraq War and Democratic Politics and On Art and War and Terror. If you enjoyed 100 Artists' Manifestos, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'The Manifesto is remarkable for its imaginative power ... it is the first great modernist work of art' Marshall Berman

Contemporary Japanese Architecture. 40th Ed.


Modern by Tradition A survey of Japan’s contemporary architecture scene Japan's contemporary architecture has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than eight Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize. Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America. Derived from the XL-sized book, this affordable edition highlights 37 architects and 53 exceptional projects by Japanese masters—from Tadao Ando’s Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban’s concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA’s Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki’s 4 World Trade Center to Takashi Suo’s much smaller sustainable dental clinic. An elaborate essay traces the building scene from the Metabolists to today, showing how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.

Flip the Script


Hip hop has long been a vehicle for protest in the United States, used by its primarily African American creators to address issues of prejudice, repression, and exclusion. But the music is now a worldwide phenomenon, and outside the United States it has been taken up by those facing similar struggles. Flip the Script offers a close look at the role of hip hop in Europe, where it has become a politically powerful and commercially successful form of expression for the children and grandchildren of immigrants from former colonies. Through analysis of recorded music and other media, as well as interviews and fieldwork with hip hop communities, J. Griffith Rollefson shows how this music created by black Americans is deployed by Senegalese Parisians, Turkish Berliners, and South Asian Londoners to both differentiate themselves from and relate themselves to the dominant culture. By listening closely to the ways these postcolonial citizens in Europe express their solidarity with African Americans through music, Rollefson shows, we can literally hear the hybrid realities of a global double consciousness.

Outsider Art


An updated and substantially revised edition of this comprehensive introduction to outsider art, distinguished by its wider international scope and inclusion of global developments since 2000. Outsider Art is the work produced outside the mainstream of modern art by self-taught, untrained visionaries, spiritualists, recluses, folk artists, psychiatric patients, prisoners and others beyond the imposed margins of society and the art market. Coined by Roger Cardinal in 1972, the term in English derived from Jean Dubuffet's 'Art Brut' - literally 'raw art', 'uncooked' by culture, unaffected by fashion, unmoved by artistic standards. In this comprehensive and indispensable guide, Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of Outsider Art - first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists, now appreciated by a wider public - while providing fresh insights into the achievements of both major figures and newly discovered artists as well as the emergence of specialized studios, as the relationship between outsider art and the contemporary mainstream art world has developed and become more intertwined. From spirit-guided Madge Gill to schizophrenic Adolf Wolfli, Rosemarie Koczy's expressions of trauma to Nek Chand's outdoor creations, these individuals passionately and obsessively pursue the pictorial expression of their vision. Now illustrated in full colour, with the exception of some archival photographs, this new edition has been substantially revised with a greater focus on global Outsider art as well as including more recent talents to the field.

Bohumil Južnič


Bohumil Južnič (1895–1963) byl předním československým designérem. Ačkoliv se celý život věnoval vojenskému povolání, jeho záliba v průmyslovém designu přerostla v další profesi. Významně ovlivnil rozvoj uměleckého průmyslu, obzvlášť ve třicátých letech, kdy poskytoval své návrhy kovových předmětů denní potřeby Krásné jizbě DP a Topičově salonu v Praze. Specializoval se především na design vybavení určeného ke stolování, kterému dodával elegantní, funkční tvar. Svůj návrhářský potenciál uplatnil i v ostatních průmyslových odvětvích. Od roku 1932 navrhoval textil, zejména koberce. Pro Topičův salon projektoval drobný nábytek a navrhl skleněný nápojový servis. S příchodem války začal Bohumil Južnič navrhovat první výrobky ze soustruženého a řezaného dřeva. Tomuto materiálu se věnoval celá čtyřicátá léta. Zájem o jeho dřevěné mísy, dózy a ostatní předměty, spojené zejména se stolováním, přetrvával i v padesátých letech. V té době rozšířil své pole působnosti o návrhy funkční i dekorativní keramiky, smaltovaného nádobí, hraček, šperků a bižuterie. Publikace přibližuje Južničovu tvorbu dokumentovanou návrhy z autorovy pozůstalosti i realizacemi nejen ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze.

Paula Scher: Works


The definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner, Paula Scher. Paula Scher is one of the most influential graphic designers in the world. Described as the ‘master conjurer of the instantly familiar’, Scher straddles the line between pop culture and fine art in her work. Iconic, smart and accessible, her images have entered the American vernacular. Paula Scher: Works is the definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner. Published by Unit Editions, the 522-page book presents the most extensive monograph of Scher’s career to date, featuring over 300 projects from from her early days in the music industry as an art director with CBS and Atlantic Records, through the launch of her first studio, Koppel & Scher, to her 25-year engagement with Pentagram. Co-edited by Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy, the book organizes Scher’s work chronologically into several thematic sections. It opens with a long interview with the designer, then moves into her record covers from the 1970s and 80s. Central chapters look at her innovative approach to identity design and environmental graphics and its impact on contemporary New York’s urban fabric ? as seen in work for clients from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack ? as well as her logos for global corporations and cultural institutions. A large section on authorship is devoted to the designer’s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Scher’s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, a prolific artistic practice that complements her still-growing graphic legacy, as well as her longstanding collaboration with The Public Theater, which spans over twenty years.

Kabinety


Mistrovská díla uměleckého řemesla 16. A 17. století z českých sbírek Podrobný katalog představuje výběr vzácných kabinetů ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze a Národního památkového ústavu, ale i z oblastních a soukromých sbírek. Soubor reprezentuje tvorbu předních evropských výrobních center s ukázkami nejdůležitějších výzdobných technik, jako například piktoriální intarzie, marketerie, reliéfní řezby, florentská mozaika či dekorace miniaturní malbou a drobnými plastikami. Kabinety 16. a 17. století patří k nejzajímavějším realizacím v historii uměleckého řemesla. Už prvotním posláním jako schrána pro uschování drahocenných předmětů a svým výrazně uměleckým charakterem se kabinet vždy vymykal běžným kategoriím nábytkové tvorby. Jeho kořeny lze sledovat již ve vyspělých kulturách starověku, přední místo zaujímal v luxusním mobiliáři na panovnických dvorech evropského novověku, avšak svou vrcholnou roli sehrál v éře manýrismu a časného baroku, kdy se jako Kunstkammer en miniature stal svébytným uměleckým dílem, reprezentujícím složitý myšlenkový svět idejí novověké přírodní filosofie. Vydání české s anglickým a německým resumé.

Kritika a autonomie českého umění (1859–1892)


Chápání umělecké tvorby jako autonomní činnosti s vlastními pravidly a také kritérii hodnocení úspěchu se dnes zdá být takřka přirozené, jeho nesamozřejmost si uvědomujeme snad nejčastěji při soudních procesech vedených proti autorům děl s kontroverzním obsahem. Bývaly ovšem doby, kdy ani svět umění nebyl v pohledu na autonomii své produkce jednotný – primát estetična při hodnocení se musel prosadit ve spletitých diskusích nad konkrétními díly. Těžiště těchto negociací autoři knihy hledají v období počátků parlamentarismu na našem území, kdy rostoucí sebevědomí umělecké sféry vyjadřovala nejen samotná produkce, ale například i budování reprezentativních veřejných prostorů (pražské Národní divadlo, Rudolfinum). Mezioborový výzkum, inspirovaný sociologickým a literárněhistorickým studiem autonomizace umění francouzského (P. Bourdieu, M. Einfalt), je zaměřen na kritický ohlas literární, výtvarné a hudební produkce, která v letech 1859 až 1892 vzbuzovala otázky související se závazky tvůrců ke společnosti. Současně sleduje proměny samotné kritiky, která rostoucí míru autonomie reflektovala a ujasňovala si při tom vlastní vztahy k publiku a tvůrcům. Kolektivní monografie představuje výsledky zkoumání dobových periodik a dalších pramenů včetně archivních, které umožňují zachytit soudobou kritickou praxi v celé její šíři. Výklad je doplněn obrazovou přílohou prezentující kromě diskutovaných výtvarných děl také dobově typické formy propagace umělecké produkce.
