Walkable City


TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WINNER OF THE GREEN PRIZE FOR SUSTAINABLE LITERATURE Updated with 100+ pages of new material and a foreword by Janette Sadik-Khan The bestselling urban planning book of the past decade, translated into seven languages, Walkable City has changed the conversation on community design across America and beyond. It is reissued here with an extensive update, including eight new chapters covering housing equity, COVID, Uber, autonomous vehicles, urban forests, and more. Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. Making downtown into a walkable, viable community is the essential fix for the typical American city; it is eminently achievable and its benefits are manifold. Walkable City bursting with sharp observations and key insights into how urban change happens lays out a practical, necessary, and inspiring vision for how to make American cities the best they can be.

In the Eye of the Storm


A major study of Ukrainian art from 1900 to the mid-1930s - with loans from major museums in Ukraine, elsewhere in Europe, the United States (including MoMA) and Israel. How does artistic life flourish during revolution and conflict? Ukraine in the early 1900s endured unimaginable political upheaval, yet this became a period of true renaissance in Ukrainian art, literature, theatre and cinema. In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s presents the ground-breaking art produced in Ukraine in the early 20th century, focusing on the three key cultural centres of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. Against a complicated socio-political backdrop of collapsing empires, World War I, the revolutions of 1917 with the ensuing Ukrainian War of Independence, and the eventual creation of Soviet Ukraine, several strands of distinctly Ukrainian art emerged. While emigres such as Sonia Delaunay and Alexander Archipenko found fame outside their homeland, the followers of Mykhailo Boichuk focused on Byzantine revivalism, and the artists of the Kultur Lige sought to promote the development of contemporary Yiddish culture. The first avant-garde exhibitions in Ukraine featured the radical art of Davyd Burliuk and Alexandra Exter, and the dynamic canvases of the Kyiv-based Cubo-Futurist Oleksandr Bohomazov. In Kharkiv, Vasyl Yermilov championed the industrial art of Constructivism, while Vadym Meller, Anatol Petrytskyi, Oleksandr Khvostenko-Khvostov and Borys Kosarev revolutionized theatre design. The attempt to build a national identity in Ukraine resulted in a polyphony of styles and artistic developments across a full range of media - from oil paintings, sketches and sculpture to collages, cinema posters and theatre designs. Twelve internationally renowned scholars, including curators from the National Art Museum of Ukraine, bring to life this astonishing period of creativity in Ukraine and all the movements it encompassed.

Kniha dní


Osobitá a dojemná kniha od autorky titulů Just Kids a M Train obsahuje na 365 fotografií a zamyšlení, jež dokládají jedinečnou estetiku Patti Smith. Inspirací pro vznik tohoto díla byl autorčin populární profil na Instagramu. V roce 2018 zveřejnila na této sociální síti první snímek. Pod obrázkem byla krátká zpráva: „Zdravím všechny.“ Patti Smith, která dříve fotila na polaroid, začala na Instagram přidávat fotky z mobilu, na nichž se objevují děti, topení, boty nebo její habešská kočka Cairo. Sledující těmto miniaturním vhledům do autorčina světa ihned propadli, ať už se jednalo o záběry kávy, rozečtených knih, obrázky z hudebních turné, železničních stanic a zapadlých kaváren nebo o náhrobky jejích hrdinů – Williama Blakea, Dylana Thomase, Sylvie Plathové, Simone Weilové či Alberta Camuse. Po nějaké době tak vznikl ucelený příběh o životě zasvěceném umění, který si získal více než milion sledujících. Kniha také obsahuje staré fotografie, které nejsou k vidění nikde jinde – perly jako dar k výročí, matčina klíčenka či manželova kytara Mosrite. Svůj notes má Patti Smith vždycky po ruce, aby v rozmanitých a zároveň intimních zápisech mohla čtenářům poskytnout zprávy o svých cestách po celém světě. Kniha dní a 365 fotografií, jež obsahuje, nabízí jedinečný způsob, jak nahlédnout do velké mysli vizionářky, básnířky, spisovatelky, umělkyně. Je plná naděje, žalu i hravosti, a proto může být inspirativním dílem pro dnešní nejistou dobu.

Massimo Listri. Cabinet of Curiosities. 40th Ed.


The Wunderkammer, or "cabinet of curiosities," saw collectors gathering objects from many strands of artistic, scientific, and intellectual endeavor, in an ambitious attempt to encompass all of humankind's knowledge in a single room. From the Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici and Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to Archduke Ferdinand II of Habsburg, these aristocratic virtuosos acquired, selected, and displayed the objects in real-life catalogues that represented the entire world-spanning architecture, interior design, painting, sculpture, gemology, geology, botany, biology and taxonomy, astrology, alchemy, anthropology, ethnography, and history. Marvel at the unicorn horns (narwhal tusks), gems, rare coral growths, Murano glasswork, paintings and peculiar mechanical automata. Browse through illustrations of exotic and mythical creatures and discover the famed "Coburg ivories," an astounding collection of crafted artifacts. These collections are nothing short of a journey through time, from the Renaissance and Age of Discovery, the Mannerist and Baroque periods, up to the present day. Many of these cabinets of curiosities no longer exist, others have been meticulously reconstructed, and new ones born. These marvelous cabinets of curiosities can now be explored by all in this collection. To realize this mammoth undertaking, Massimo Listri traveled to seven European countries over several decades; the result is a set of gorgeous photographs, an authoritative yet accessible introduction, and detailed commentary on each of the 19 chambers highlighting the most remarkable items in each collection. Discover how these timeless treasures both describe and defined civilization, the modern concept of the museum, and our very knowledge of the universe.

Fenomén Jože Plečnik


Kniha Fenomén Jože Plečnik je už třetí publikací v řadě „Fenomén“ nakladatelství Grada. Její ambicí je představovat populárním způsobem významné architekty s českými kořeny nebo realizacemi na českém území. Zájemce právě dostává do ruky obrazově výpravnou publikaci o jednom z výjimečných zjevů evropské a také české, resp. československé architektury. Slovinec Jože Plečnik zanechal svou stopu ve Vídni a především v Lublani, kde dostal příležitost realizovat řadu architektonických děl ve městě, které bylo na konci 19. století silně poničeno rozsáhlým zemětřesením. Zároveň je ovšem jeho vliv velmi viditelný i v Čechách, přesněji přímo v Praze. Setkání s prvním československým prezidentem Tomášem G. Masarykem, „zosnované“ Plečnikovým přítelem, architektem Janem Kotěrou, přineslo zásadní změny v koncepci přestavby Pražského hradu, který se tak znovu stal důstojným sídlem nové hlavy nového státu. Plečnik jako člověk silně věřící celoživotně pracoval na sakrálních stavbách ve Vídni i v Lublani, v Praze je pak jeho nepominutelnou stopou kostel Nejsvětějšího srdce Páně na Královských Vinohradech. Těch „královských“ atributů je u této stavby ale více. Také o tom se dočtete v naší knize, doprovozené aktuálními i dobovými fotografiemi a především – jako v celé dosavadní ediční řadě – kresbami architekta a propagátora architektury Davida Vávry.

Soviet Playgrounds


A photographic survey of Soviet-era playgrounds found in former members of the USSR, such as Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Through five chapters containing more than 150 photographs, the book documents the mass-produced, yet diverse play equipment installed in the communal spaces of socialist-era housing estates, such as rocket slides and earth-shaped climbers, spaceships and animal-themed ladders, cosmic roundabouts and bizarre objects that would probably raise safety concerns nowadays. From Riga to Dushanbe and all the way from Kyiv to Vladivostok, children dreamt of becoming cosmonauts, and enjoyed the many space-themed playscapes which had proliferated since the onset of the Cold War era. While some are still in use, others are slowly disappearing to make way for modern equipment, or, more recently, being destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, becoming only a faint memory of a Soviet childhood. Includes a foreword by the Ukrainian urban planner Mykola Gorokhov and informative maps of the playgrounds featured in every chapter. Pictures were taken by Zupagrafika, with contributions by local photographers.

Kandinsky: Incarnating Beauty


A teacher to Jacques Lacan, André Breton, and Albert Camus, Koj?ve defined art as the act of extracting the beautiful from objective reality. His poetic text, “The Concrete Paintings of Kandinsky,” endorses nonrepresentational art as uniquely manifesting beauty. Taking the paintings of his renowned uncle, Wassily Kandinsky, as his inspiration, Kojeve suggests that in creating (rather than replicating) beauty, the paintings are themselves complete universes as concrete as the natural world. Koj?ve’s text considers the utility and necessity of beauty in life, and ultimately poses the involuted question: What is beauty? Including personal letters between Kandinsky and his nephew, this book further elaborates the unique relationship between artist and philosopher. An introduction by Boris Groys contextualizes Kojeve’s life and writings.

Strange Impressions


Most known for her bold and darkly painted portraits, Brooks was revolutionary in her feminist renderings of women in resistance. Openly queer, she challenged conceptions of gender and sexuality in her art, which also served as her refuge. While many of her male counterparts were disfiguring and cubing their subjects—often women—Brooks gave personhood and power to the figures she painted. Her frank approach to her complicated relationship with her mother, faith, wealth, sexuality, and gender is complemented by a keen wit that echoes the gray tones of her work. Though her paintings are held in major collections, Brooks’s influence in modernist circles of the early twentieth century is largely underexplored. This new publication, guided by Brooks’s own impressionistic musings, bridges an important gap between the art and the artist. An introduction by Lauren O’Neill-Butler explores Brooks’s role as an artist in the early twentieth century through the lens of gender and sexuality.

Feministické divadlo a jeho slovenská cesta


Často sa v súvislosti s činnosťou žien, napr. v autorskej tvorbe, pri manažovaní divadla, v teatrológii, konštatuje tzv. pragmatický rozpor, ktorý „nehovorí o tom, o čom nie je možné hovoriť, ale ukazuje, že je tu niečo, o čom sa hovoriť nedá...“  Na tento rozpor narážam v praxi a v osobnom živote stále. (Iveta Škripková) Monografia Ivety Škripkovej Feministické divadlo a jeho slovenská cesta je vôbec prvou odbornou publikáciou, ktorá sa venuje prieniku feministického umenia a filozofie do slovenskej divadelnej praxe. Vzácnym prínosom textu významnej slovenskej divadelníčky – autorky, režisérky, divadelnej manažérky a v neposlednom rade teoretičky – Ivety Škripkovej je práve zameranie sa na dokumentáciu a hĺbkovú analýzu feministického divadla na Slovenska od deväťdesiatych rokov. No publikácia neprináša len pohľad na aktivity banskobystrického zoskupenia T.W.I.G.A a zaujímavý pohľad na súčasnú slovenskú drámu a divadelnú prax. Čitateľ sa okrem fundovaného pohľadu na slovenské divadlo oboznámi so svetovými teoretickými koncepciami feminizmov, feministickou filozofiou, feministickým divadlom, s prínosmi a dielami najvýznamnejších feministických autoriek a umelkýň. Ide o výberový a subjektívny exkurz do problematiky – aj v tom tkvie jeho výnimočnosť, pretože čitateľa zároveň nabáda k úvahe o zdrojových myšlienkových kódoch súčasného slovenského feministického divadla. Ivetu Škripkovú môžeme považovať za jeho iniciátorku a zakladateľku.
