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.

The Aston Martin Book


One icon meets another: For true automotive enthusiasts, it was no surprise that the paths of Aston Martin and René Staud would cross at some point. The British brand's meteoric success story began almost exactly 110 years ago. Its claim of building road-ready racing cars has always remained intact. Legendary victories at Le Mans or the Nürburgring, for example, contributed to Aston Martin's appeal, as did the fact that Her Majesty's secret agent, James Bond, drove the elegant, British-built DB5 as early as 1964. In this new edition of the best-selling book, multiple award-winning automotive photographer René Staud presents breathtaking new photographs of both old and present-day models - even those knowledgeable about the brand will discover stories not yet heard. Text in English and German.

The Recorder


The fascinating story of a hugely popular instrument, detailing its rich and varied history from the Middle Ages to the present The recorder is perhaps best known today for its educational role. Although it is frequently regarded as a stepping-stone on the path toward higher musical pursuits, this role is just one recent facet of the recorder’s fascinating history—which spans professional and amateur music-making since the Middle Ages. In this new addition to the Yale Musical Instrument Series, David Lasocki and Robert Ehrlich trace the evolution of the recorder. Emerging from a variety of flutes played by fourteenth-century soldiers, shepherds, and watchmen, the recorder swiftly became an artistic instrument for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by the greatest Baroque composers, including Bach and Handel, in the twentieth century it played a vital role in the Early Music Revival and achieved international popularity and notoriety in mass education. Overall, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a case for the recorder being surprisingly present, and significant, throughout Western music history.
