Jak funguje hudba
Hudba je radost, ale taky fyzika, technologie a obchod.
Světoznámý hudebník David Byrne nadšeně a zároveň erudovaně zkoumá hudbu od prvotního nápadu po finální nahrávku a distribuci. Kniha Jak funguje hudba ohledává, proč nás vzrušuje symfonie, které písně jsou schopné nás dojmout a jak obecně hudba utváří lidskou zkušenost. Byrne zároveň vysvětluje, jak v každé fázi jejího vzniku a šíření hudbu ovlivňují a formují politické, ekonomické či společenské podmínky a jak nástup nahrávací technologie ve dvacátém století navždy změnil náš vztah k hraní, produkci a poslechu hudby. David Byrne tak o hudbě vypráví nejen jako insider hudebního průmyslu a profesionální muzikant, ale rovněž coby historik a antropolog, pamětník a sociolog. Zákonitosti hudební produkce přitom odhaluje a ukazuje i na své vlastní tvorbě s Talking Heads a mnoha spolupracovníky, od Briana Ena po Fatboy Slima, nebo na hudbě umělců, jako jsou Patti Smith, Ramones, Blondie a další.
The New York Timer bestseller
Music’s Odyssey
A triumphant journey through the history of Western classical music and its great composers
'My aim in this book is to offer an invitation to the glorious long voyage of Western classical music for all those who enjoy and love it, and seek to deepen their enjoyment and love without getting caught up in musicology and technicalities: an entry to Aladdin's cave, an injunction to 'taste and see' re-angled for the sense of hearing in all its complex and various modes. Not historical, but broadly chronological and thematic, from the earliest adventures in notation up to the present day - some fourteen centuries of continuity and interruptions, revolutions and renewals, complements and contrasts, via many detailed descriptions of individual composers and individual pieces.
'In part, it is an account of how music is made - its core of practice, skills, conventions, traditions - but also an attempt to chart the evolution of expression, what is being said, what felt, what communicated 'from the heart to the heart' - how music works upon its listeners, how it moves and stirs, how it reaches and appeals to the highest flights and deepest places (and everything between) of the organising pattern-making mind, the ebb and flow of the sensual body, the centres of emotion.
'Everything is within the art itself, at whatever epoch, in whatever idiom, whatever genre or intention. Nor is evaluation eschewed - why, as well as how, it is so good and why sometimes so deplorable. The style throughout is inherently allusive and I have tried everywhere to preserve the intonations and rhythms of speech - spontaneous, improvised, natural as breathing'
- Robin Holloway
Designers on Sofas
The first title in a new series from tastemakers Monocle, this is a fun, informative collection of portraits and biographical interviews with 50 architects from all over the world sitting on their sofas revealing their style, wit, personality - and sofa choices.
Bringing architects and their sofas together in a lighthearted way, this book aims to find out what makes some of the world's most famous architects and designers tick. Each of its fifty entries features a portrait of an architect on their sofa, taken at their own home or workplace, sometimes with their family, their pets or with other possessions, each photograph capturing essential details about the architect's life, work and style. An in-depth interview accompanies each entry, so that readers find out not just about their sofa (for example whether or not they designed it, and if not why they chose it, and who it was designed by) but also about their life, their work, what they're passionate about and what they struggle with.
Taken together, this collection of photographic portraits and interviews provides unique insights into the minds and lives of some of the greatest architects of our time. In addition, a special foldout presents 100 architect-designed sofas from the last century with designs by Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Charlotte Perriand, Verner Panton, Cini Boeri, Zaha Hadid, John Pawson, and many more.

Jean Paul Gaultier Catwalk
The tenth volume in the bestselling Catwalk series offers the first ever comprehensive overview of Jean Paul Gaultier’s womenswear collections, from his debut in the late 1970s to his farewell show in 2020.
With 2.5 million copies in print, each high-end, cloth-bound volume in the bestselling Catwalk series features over 1,300 looks as they originally appeared on the catwalk, styled as the designer intended and sported by the world’s top models. These ten treasure troves of inspiration are must-have references for all fashion fans and professionals.
Often introduced as French fashion’s ‘enfant terrible’, Jean Paul Gaultier radically refreshed, re-energized and re-imagined the possibilities of high fashion from the 1980s onwards, blurring boundaries between masculine and feminine, high and low culture and celebrating models of all ages and ethnicities – even drawing icons such as Madonna and Björk onto his runway.
This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Jean Paul Gaultier, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images that showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss to Gigi and Bella Hadid. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Chloé and Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier is the tenth volume in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world’s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
Scorsese on Filmmaking and Faith
'Have I succeeded, in my own life? I don't know. I don't think so. I'm in my eighties now and I just don't know. But then, maybe "success" is the wrong way of framing it. You just try, and when you fail, you keep trying.'
Over the course of eight years, Martin Scorsese and Jesuit theologian Antonio Spadaro discussed filmmaking and faith.
From his Catholic upbringing amidst the brutality of 1950s New York to the heights of Hollywood, Scorsese sketches a unique self-portrait. And from Mean Streets to Killers of the Flower Moon - and especially the spiritual reckonings of The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence - he grants readers a new understanding of his films.
Reflecting on grace and violence, fear and hope, passion and belief, these rich and intimate conversations offer a remarkable insight into the director's life and work.

Taylor's Version
An original exploration and celebration of Taylor Swift, the world's biggest music star, as taught at the world's most prestigious university.
One of the biggest stars in the world, Taylor Swift became so popular for many reasons - but first and last thanks to her songs. In Taylor's Version, award-winning literary critic Professor Stephanie Burt charts the extraordinary journey from Swift's teen country debut to her most recent record-breaking achievement as the highest-grossing touring artist in the world. Based on her Harvard University course, Taylor Swift and Her World, Burt offers the first serious study of Swift that pays close attention to her talent as a songwriter first and foremost.
Drawing from musical and cultural criticism, poetry, economic theory, American history, as well as personal experience, Burt presents an insightful and heartfelt critical appreciation of Swift that delves into her life, her celebrity and her artistry. She explores how Swift's musical and public persona reflect her life and her craft, at once intimate and relatable. She considers the international community Swift's work has fostered, and she shows what makes Swift's body of work so important across styles, genres and generations.
Tracing a path through the Eras, Taylor's Version is a literary deep-dive into Swift's particular form of genius, revealing the remarkable impact of her career and showing how her songs - how music itself - can change lives.

In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband's U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady of the United States and today as one of the country's most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.
Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama's trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.
Obama's intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life - from the colourful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.
In The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how - when wielded with grace and care - they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you're wearing something that's intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.

Človek na okrAI. Postantropocén Viery Čakányovej
Monografia Jany Dudkovej Človek na okraAI. Postantropocén Viery Čákaynovej je analýzou doterajšej filmovej tvorby Viery Čákanyovej, ktorá do slovenskej kinematografie prináša úvahy o potrebe posthumanistického prehodnotenia ľudskej úlohy a údelu v dejinách planéty. Kniha sa venuje Čákanyovej filmom na pozadí aktuálneho premýšľania post- a transhumanizmu, ekokriticizmu, či nového materializmu, resp. na pozadí aktuálnych úvah o antropocéne a postantropocéne.
Kniha pozostáva zo štyroch kapitol, tie dopĺňa rozhovor autorky s Vierou Čákanyovou. Prvá kapitola nazerá súčasnú tvorbu Viery Čákanyovej v kontexte jej raného vývoja (mimoriadne košatá a zaujímavá študentská a televízna tvorba, ktorá už naznačuje jej budúce záujmy). Ďalšia predstavuje jej známu trilógiu (FREM, Biela na bielej, Poznámky z Eremocénu) z hľadiska opozície umelé vs. umelecké a následne sa monografia zaoberá špecifickými otázkami prehodnocovania úlohy človeka v kontexte planetárnych záujmov cez opozíciu príroda – kultúra a cez predstavenie konceptu transpersonálnej perspektívy ako špecifického prínosu k ekokritickej kinematografii.
Zofia Kulik: Works
The first large-scale English language retrospective of one of Poland's leading contemporary artists, arriving at a transformative moment in her career.
Zofia Kulik's photographs are a psychic collage of the self. Inspired by eroticism, feminism, and the political and social developments of post-war Poland, her expansive work offers a radical critique of not only what it means to be an artist and a woman, but of what it means to be human. Featuring her most pivotal series - including The Splendor of Myself - this expansive publication charts her rich and varied career, journeying from her earlier collaborations as KwieKulik to the development of her solo work.
Shortly after graduating from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1971, Kulik formed the artistic duo KwieKulik with her then partner Przemyslaw Kwiek. Running the Studio of Documentation and Propagation Activities (PDDiU) from their home in Warsaw, the pair created avant-garde films, photographs and objects, as well as performances, installations and interventionist texts. After splitting in 1987, Kulik expressed a new-found desire for her work to be present in museums and institutions. Subsequently developing the black-and-white photomontages for which she is now most famous, Kulik would combine complex patterns with often hundreds of images. Painstakingly detailed and often physically imposing, these images reflect an artist committed to exploring the murky terrains of the psyche.
Bringing together these pivotal works alongside Kulik's lesser-known but no less radical projects, this book features comprehensive yet accessible texts from leading writers to provide a much needed introduction to one of Poland's most important living artists.
