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.

Maria Bartuszová - Catalogue Raisonné (GB)


“My breath is a part of the universe pulsating.” Czech-born Slovak sculptor Maria Bartuszová (1936 – 1996) studied at the Ceramics and Porcelain Studio at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, and spent most of her life in Košice, Slovakia. This Catalogue Raisonné provides a comprehensive overview of her sculpture, her original techniques and methods, and themes and ideas she explored that have remained undiscovered for a long time. A distinctiveness of Maria Bartuszová's approach is her concentration on the intimate experience of art, perceiving the creativity of nature and being connected to the laws of the universe. She used her knowledge of natural sciences, combined with a holistic approach, and her skill of intuitive guidance and the imaginative activity of play, as a conceptual method while experimenting with materials and the technical potential of sculpture. Her morphological thinking sought ideal form and haptic attraction, which encourages the viewer to touching – forging a certain closeness and intimate experience based on physical and mental participation. Maria Bartuszová’s work exudes fascination with life, but also humility towards it, both of which are the driving force behind her creativity. This project has been supported using public funds provided by Slovak Arts Council.

Birds


"One need not ponder whether Birds: Poetry in the Sky is more a bird book or an art book: it fits each category. But whatever shelf it belongs on is really irrelevant - it's enough to say that the book is magnificent." - 10,000 Birds "...This is photographic art of birds 'where they live' and where humans must watch in awe." - Wildlife Australia The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as well. "The camera is my brush," is how he describes his style. His photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty speak for itself - which is why he forgoes any image editing. He was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of hummingbirds' wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its colourful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops. Text in English and German.

The Stars' Share / La part des etoiles


Sir Paul Smith, with a wry grin in front of a bookshelf. Javier Bardem, utterly relaxed, in sneakers in a sunny field. Rasmus Kofoed, chef at Geranium in Copenhagen, one of the best restaurants in the world, atop an ivy-covered wall. What all these portraits have in common - along with a sense of closeness and privacy - is a glass. For this is how Gerard-Philippe Mabillard photographs his friends and acquaintances, all celebrities from the world of film, art, fashion, design, and culture. Mabillard himself worked as a creative professional before taking the position of director of the Vin du Valais non-profit association. For him, the glass, filled with wine or water, is the link between the people he portrays: a symbol of friendship and community. Through his photography project, Mabillard is supporting the NGO Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia. Text in English and French.
