Creature


A beautiful collection of paintings, drawings and reflections on creatures, our constant companions, from the masterful narrative artist Shaun Tan. A creature does not necessarily represent one thing or another; it just is. A mysterious being in a mysterious world, much like you and me, trying to fit in, trying to be unique, or just trying to make sense of things as best we can, to exist. World-renowned artist Shaun Tan turns his hand to the theme of creatures. The first thing Shaun ever drew as a child was a creature, and they are still at the heart of his work. This volume collects together unseen and stand-alone drawings and paintings, along with rich and thoughtful commentary from Shaun on his inspirations. Delving deep into the timeless allure of non-human creatures, and what they might tell us about our 'normal' human selves, this book is perfect for artists, writers and dreamers alike.

World Textiles


An updated edition of this indispensable reference, surveying the history of textiles from 25,000 years ago to the present. The history of textiles, more than that of any other artefact, is a history of human ingenuity. From the very earliest needles of 50,000 years ago to the smart textiles of today, textiles have been fundamental to human existence, and enjoyed, prized and valued by every culture. Silks from China, cottons from India, tapestries from Flanders, dyes from South America - the appeal of different weaves, colours and patterns was long a motivation for trade, the exchange of ideas and sometimes even war. Mary Schoeser's groundbreaking book, now revised and updated to incorporate new research, presents a chronological survey of textiles around the world from prehistory to the present. It explores how they are made, what they are made from, how they function in society and the ways in which they are valued and given meaning as well as reflecting on the environmental challenges they present today. World Textiles offers an invaluable introduction to this vast and fascinating subject for makers, designers, textile and fashion professionals, collectors and students alike.

Long Road


Ever since Pearl Jam first blasted onto the Seattle grunge scene three decades ago with their debut album, Ten, they have sold 85M+ albums, performed for hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, and have even been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In Long Road: Pearl Jam and the Soundtrack Of A Generation, music critic and journalist Steven Hyden celebrates the life, career, and music of this legendary group, widely considered to be one of the greatest American rock bands of all time. Long Road is structured like a mix tape, using 18 different Pearl Jam classics as starting points for telling a mix of personal and universal stories. Each chapter tells the tale of this great band - how they got to where they are, what drove them to greatness, and why it matters now. Much like the generation it emerged from, Pearl Jam is a mass of contradictions. They were an enormously successful mainstream rock band who felt deeply uncomfortable with the pursuit of capitalistic spoils. They were progressive activists who spoke in favor of abortion rights and against the Ticketmaster monopoly, and yet they epitomized the sound of traditional, male-dominated rock 'n' roll. They were looked at as spokesmen for their generation, even though they ultimately projected profound confusion and alienation. They triumphed, and failed, in equal doses - the quintessential Gen-X tale. Impressive as their stats, accolades, and longevity may be, Hyden also argues that Pearl Jam's most definitive accomplishment lies in the impact their music had on Generation X as a whole. Pearl Jam's music helped an entire generation of listeners connect with the glory of bygone rock mythology, and made it relevant during a period in which tremendous American economic prosperity belied a darkness at the heart of American youth. More than just a chronicle of the band's career, this book is also a story about Gen- X itself, who like Pearl Jam came from angsty, outspoken roots and then evolved into an establishment institution, without ever fully shaking off their uncertain, outsider past. For so many Gen-Xers growing up at the time, Pearl Jam's music was a beacon that offered both solace and guidance. They taught an entire generation how to grow up without losing the purest and most essential parts of themselves. Written with his celebrated blend of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, Hyden explores Pearl Jam's path from Ten to now. It's a chance for new fans and old fans alike to geek out over Pearl Jam minutia-the B-sides, the beloved deep cuts, the concert bootlegs-and explore the multitude of reasons why Pearl Jam's music resonated with so many people. As Hyden explains, "Most songs pass through our lives and are swiftly forgotten. But Pearl Jam is forever."

Photography – A Feminist History


How did the abolitionist movement interact with women's entry into the field of photography? What does the medium have to do with menstrual taboos? Is there even such a thing as a 'feminist image'? Whether working in the studio or on the front line, women have contributed to every aspect of photography's short history. For some, gender is front and centre; for others, it's merely incidental. All have been affected by the power structures beyond their camera lenses. Far too many have been, and continue to be, overlooked. Mapping photographic developments against shifting gender rights and roles, Photography - A Feminist History shines a light on how photography has borne witness to women's movements and made the causes for which they fight visible, and how, in turn, different approaches to feminism have given us ways of understanding photographs. Authoritative and international in scope, Photography - A Feminist History features over 140 photographers, with ten thematic essays, and extended profiles on 75 key practitioners, many informed by conversations with the author.

Co je to archeologie médií?


Finský teoretik médií Jussi Parrika v této publikaci představuje vznikající oblast archeologie médií. Je to způsob uvažování o kulturách nových médií prostřednictvím poznatků o médiích, jež byla nová v minulosti, a to často s důrazem na zapomenuté či bizarní aparáty, postupy a vynálezy. Archeologie médií však není jednou metodologií nebo teorií. Autor ji proto uvádí do kontextu dalších klíčových odvětví mediálních studií, jako jsou filmová či softwarová studia, genealogie imaginárních médií, německá teorie médií či teorie materiality médií.

Jussi Parikka: Od archeologie ke geologii médií


Předložená kniha se snaží tuzemskému čtenáři v základních konturách a na hlavních uzlových bodech představit myšlení čelního finského teoretika médií Jussiho Parikky. Parikka je proponentem tzv. „archeologie médií“, která problematizuje tradiční chápání dějin médií, technologického vývoje a jeho vztahu ke společnosti či binární opozici mezi člověkem a strojem. Archeologie médií (a geologie médií rovněž) začíná být ve světovém kontextu konstituována jako samostatný univerzitní obor a vědecko-výzkumný přístup. I proto se zdá být nutné věnovat jednomu z jejích hlavních zástupců samostatnou, byť jakkoliv stručnou, česky psanou monografii, která je doplněna překladem jedné z Parikkových studií a rozhovorem s ním.

Frederic Chaubin. CCCP. Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed. 40th Ed.


Elected the architectural book of the year by the International Artbook and Film Festival in Perpignan, France, Frederic Chaubin's Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed explores 90 buildings in 14 former Soviet Republics. Each of these structures expresses what Chaubin considers the fourth age of Soviet architecture, an unknown burgeoning that took place from 1970 until 1990. Contrary to the 1920s and 1950s, no "school" or main trend emerges here. These buildings represent a chaotic impulse brought about by a decaying system. Taking advantage of the collapsing monolithic structure, architects went far beyond modernism, going back to the roots or freely innovating. Some of the daring ones completed projects that the Constructivists would have dreamt of (Druzhba Sanatorium, Yalta), others expressed their imagination in an expressionist way (Palace of Weddings, Tbilisi). A summer camp, inspired by sketches of a prototype lunar base, lays claim to Suprematist influence (Prometheus youth camp, Bogatyr). Then comes the "speaking architecture" widespread in the last years of the USSR: a crematorium adorned with concrete flames (Crematorium, Kiev), a technological institute with a flying saucer crashed on the roof (Institute of Scientific Research, Kiev), a political center watching you like Big Brother (House of Soviets, Kaliningrad). In their puzzle of styles, their outlandish strategies, these buildings are extraordinary remnants of a collapsing system.In their diversity and local exoticism, they testify both to the vast geography of the USSR and its encroaching end of the Soviet Union, the holes in a widening net. At the same time, they immortalize many of the ideological dreams of the country and its time, from an obsession with the cosmos to the rebirth of identity. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.

Ilustrovaný příběh umění


Tato kniha je úchvatnou vizuální cestou, během které zažijete povznášející sílu umění. Seznámíte se s pracemi více než 700 umělců a na kvalitních ilustracích si prohlédnete nejen 2500 jejich děl včetně těch nejzásadnějších, nejznámějších či klíčových z hlediska daného hnutí, směru, období nebo samotného tvůrce, ale i různé technické detaily a další zajímavé podrobnosti. Umění se neustále vyvíjí. Od okamžiku, kdy prehistoričtí umělci začali zdobit své jeskyně, malíři pořád hledali nové způsoby, jak zobrazit svět kolem sebe. Někdy ostatní vede do neprobádaného uměleckého území osamělý génius – někdo jako Giotto, Leonardo či Picasso. Jindy zkoumají nový styl nebo myšlenku skupiny podobně naladěných malířů a vytvoří tak celé umělecké hnutí. Tato kniha sleduje v plné šíři rozvoj nejvýznamnějších uměleckých hnutí, od prvních zdrojů inspirace až po mimořádná mistrovská díla, jimiž jejich sláva vrcholí. Počínaje zásadním klíčovým okamžikem – obrazem, který udával směr celého hnutí nebo ztělesňoval mnohé z jeho charakteristických rysů – jsou zde zkoumány nejrůznější další vlivy, ať už je to chemik, který namíchá zcela nový pigment, archeolog, jenž odkryje zapomenutý poklad, nebo umělecký mecenáš, který zpochybňuje stávající zvyklosti. V širším smyslu mají vliv i zásadní společenské a politické události. Francouzská revoluce inspirovala jak neoklasicistní, tak i romantické malíře, vynález knihtisku vedl k intenzivnější výměně myšlenek v době renesance a šíření železnic umožnilo cesty do nových lokalit a změnilo způsob, jímž tvořili impresionisté. Bohatě ilustrované časové osy osvětlují jednotlivá významná umělecká hnutí přehledněji než kdy dříve. Zásadní díla, která stála za změnami směřování ve výtvarném umění, se zde představují poprvé, včetně zhodnocení jejich původu a vlivu. Nejslavnější mistrovská díla jsou propojena s životy umělců a soudobými událostmi, aby tak vypověděla příběh malířství v jeho úplnosti. Poznejte umění ze zcela nové perspektivy.

Architecture


A groundbreaking history of architecture told through the relationship between buildings and energy The story of architecture is the story of humanity. The buildings we live in, from the humblest pre-historic huts to today's skyscrapers, reveal our priorities and ambitions, our family structures and power structures. And to an extent that hasn't been explored until now, architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy, from fire to farming to fossil fuels. In this ground-breaking history of world architecture, Barnabas Calder takes us on a dazzling tour of some of the most astonishing buildings of the past fifteen thousand years, from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. He reveals how every building - from the Parthenon to the Great Mosque of Damascus to a typical Georgian house - was influenced by the energy available to its architects, and why this matters. Today architecture consumes so much energy that 40% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from the construction and running of buildings. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change then now, more than ever, we need beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not demolish - those that remain. Both a celebration of human ingenuity and a passionate call for greater sustainability, this is a history of architecture for our times.

Totally Wired


A raucous yet reflective look back at the evolution of the music press and the passionate rock and pop journalists who defined the music of the 20th century. Totally Wired is the definitive story of the music press on both sides of the Atlantic, tracing the rise and fall of the creatively fertile media sector which grew from humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago to become a multi-billion business that tested the limits of journalistic endeavour. Covering the music press's evolution from the 1950s to the 2000s, through rock & roll, Mod, the Summer of Love, Glam, Punk, Pop, Reggae, R& B and Hip Hop, Paul Gorman chronicles the development of individual magazines from Tin Pan Alley beginnings and the countercultural foundation of Rolling Stone, the underground press and the 70s heyday of NME, Melody Maker and Sounds. Illuminated by the author's first-hand interviews, Gorman paints a complete picture of the scene exploring the role played by such writers as Lester Bangs, Charles Shaar Murray, and Nick Kent in the development of the careers of the likes of David Bowie, The Clash, and Led Zeppelin, and tackling head on the entrenched sexism and racism faced by women and people from marginalized backgrounds by shining a spotlight on those publications and individuals whose contributions have often been unfairly overlooked. Evoking the music press's kaleidoscopic visual identities, Totally Wired is illustrated with rare and legendary magazine artwork throughout. What emerges is a compelling narrative containing conflicting stories of unbound talent, blind ambition, and sometimes bitter rivalries which make Totally Wired a rollercoaster and riveting read.

What is Black Art?


A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade' What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.
