My Private Spa


The evolution from yesterday's purely functional and usually soulless bathroom to today's private oasis that comes in all shapes and sizes - sometimes almost like a piece of art - continues to open up new horizons for newly planned houses and apartments as well as remodeling projects: from introducing elements of ancient bathhouse cultures to the latest materials and products. With a careful choice of projects from all across the globe, this volume showcases an exceptional spectrum ranging from small and intimate baths to wide open spa landscapes - from size S to XL. They all have their own special way of extending an invitation to immerse, relax, and let go. The multitude of concepts presents the coming together of solid and fluid elements in architecture and interior design as an inspiration.

Hry


V roku 2007 vydal Divadelný ústav divadelnú hru Kebab v edícii Vreckovky a dnes prichádza s vydaním troch nových divadelných hier Gianiny Cărbunariu, ktorá sa medzičasom naplno etablovala doma i v zahraničí ako divadelná autorka a režisérka. Zborník obsahuje divadelné hry Michaela, tigrica z nášho mesta (Mihaela, tigrul din oraşul nostru), Solitarita (Solitaritate), Work in Progress. Divadelné hry z rumunského originálu preložila Jana Páleníková. Úvod napísala teatrologička Kinga Boros a z maďarského jazyka preložila Renata Deáková. Pre svoju hru Michaela, tigrica z nášho mesta, ktorá mala premiéru v roku 2012, ako aj pre všetky nasledujúce drámy používa Cărbunariu pomenovanie mockumentary play, čím sa pokúša upozorniť svojich čitateľov a divákov na hravý vzťah skutočnosti a diela. Ide teda o svojho druhu sebareflexívnu dokumentaristiku. Postavy jej hier sa napríklad v javiskových textoch často odvolávajú na výskumy, ktoré boli súčasťou ich tvorivej práce. Mockumentary alebo pseudo-dokumentárny film zobrazuje fiktívne udalosti prostredníctvom dokumentaristických metód. Divadlo Gianiny Cărbunariu práve naopak vychádza zo skutočnej referencie a prezentuje ju, akoby to bola fikcia, aby toto odcudzenie upozornilo diváka ak aj on chce na váhu udalostí tam vonku. Žiadať od tohto divadla vernosť skutočnosti je slepá ulička. Balansuje na hranici skutočnosti a fikcie, ako starosta z hry Solitarita na neviditeľnej hranici medzi hľadiskom a javiskom. Dokumentaristika Gianiny Cărbunariu spočíva v tom, že k jej inscenáciám sa viaže úžasne hlboký prieskum tém, ktoré ju zamestnávajú, nech už ide o historickú udalosť, alebo o niektorý z aspektov súčasnej spoločenskej skutočnosti. Dokumenty a rozhovory vyhrabané z hlbín archívov, v ktorých sa delia jednotliví adepti o svoje vlastné zážitky a názory, sú však pre jej tvorbu len východiskom. Ich fragmenty sa potom v novej štruktúre, koncentrovanejšie objavia v inscenácii. Je to, akoby nám zmenila ,len` uhol pohľadu, a preto sa znova musíme zamyslieť nad tým, čo sme si mysleli, že vieme.

Grécka dráma


Publikácia predstavuje prvýkrát v slovenskom jazyku súčasnú grécku drámu. Zastupujú ju tri divadelné hry, ktorých autormi sú grécki dramatici Dimitris Dimitriadis, Jannis Mavritsakis a Nina Rapi. Hry v tomto výbere sú tematicky rôznorodé, ale spája ich výrazné využívanie abstrakcie. Hra Dimitrisa Dimitriadisa Zacyklenie štvorca prostredníctvom variácií na štyri partnerské situácie skúma možnosť úniku z bludného kruhu. Vo Vitriol Jannisa Mavritsakisa sledujeme príbeh mladého muža, ktorý sa stráca v medziľudských vzťahoch a neschopnosti konať. Anjelský stav od Niny Rapi predstavuje šesť postáv vo zvláštnom stave očistca, kde sa vyrovnávajú s traumami vlastnej minulosti. Súčasťou publikácie je štúdia o gréckom divadle a dráme, ktorej autorkou je grécka teatrologička Sissy Papathanassiou. Do slovenského jazyka divadelné hry i štúdiu prekladala Renáta Mokošová.

Look Again


The art of the past can seem very far away, obscured both by time and by knotty academic theory. Foregrounding the experience of the contemporary viewer, Look Again shows how this need not be the case. Ossian Ward's simple, ten-step programme acts as an aid to looking, breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old Masters into intuitive categories - from Art as Honesty to Art as Vision. Look Again's novel approach is influenced by John Berger's Ways of Seeing, but is here updated for the art world of the 21st century. Key to this book is an emphasis on ways of experiencing Old Masters - more than just looking. Just as contemporary art should be judged by how it moves us, cajoles us and envelops us, so too can the great paintings of the world be seen as immersive, captivating, even participatory experiences. Ward does not deny the specific complexities and barriers associated with looking at art from other eras. Instead he offers readers a new formula to help illuminate this kind of art. His method not only provides the viewer with the tools to interpret a work of art, but also assumes that we hold some of this knowledge within ourselves already. In other words, everyone can share the enriching experience of Old Master paintings.

Body


The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the `post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives. Surveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific and vernacular photography - including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo and Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The Photography Book explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body. Supporting the broad range of photography is a foreword by a cultural critic, and an essay by the acclaimed psychologist Professor David Sander, PhD., discussing the neurological representation of our own bodies.

Exotic


A fascinating survey of the enduring human love affair with the exotic and the strange, and its impact on Western culture Exotic explores our obsession with the lure of distant lands and their promise of the weird and wonderful, the beautiful and grotesque. Through a host of evocative images, this book shows how the absorption of `the foreign,' through arts, design, architecture, and other cultural elements, has consistently enriched Western society, contributing to it cultural dynamism and artistic energy. Exotic's focus is especially relevant to the modern globalized world in which our engagement with cultures and traditions from around the globe is easier - and potentially more fraught - than ever before.

Berenice Abbott


This handsome publication presents legendary American photographer Berenice Abbott's work in three categories: her portraits, photographs of the city and scientific photographs. The opening section presents Abbott's portraits of mold-breaking individuals who changed the world from the mid-1920s onward such as Djuna Barnes, the New Yorker's Janet Flanner, Jean Cocteau and James Joyce. The second part offers a dazzling portrait of New York which takes into account Abbott's relations with and her fascination for the work of Eugene Atget by including an introductory group of his photographs, which she printed from his negatives. The third and final section focuses on Abbott's scientific photographs, which she started to produce in the late 1940s. Berenice Abbott was undoubtedly one of the defining portraitists of New York. Shops, people, bridges, streets, interiors, famous buildings under construction seen from outside or from above (the same ones that are visible today from the highway that runs round Manhattan) together make up this portrait. Berenice Abbott (1891-1991) was born in Springfield, Ohio. She began her photography career in 1923, as Man Ray's darkroom assistant. Her work is collected in some of the most prestigious museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art.

The Early Picasso - The Blue and the Rose Period


In its most prestigious exhibition to date, the Fondation Beyeler has devoted itself to the early paintings and sculptures of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) that date from his so-called Blue and Pink periods to early Cubism. The paintings from this stage of his career, all produced between 1901 and 1907, are milestones on the road Picasso took to becoming the most famous artist of the twentieth century. They can be counted among modernism's most beautiful and most emotional works, and are also some of the most precious works of art ever to exist. This comprehensive exhibition and its companion catalogue feature around eighty masterpieces, most of which are only rarely loaned out by famous museums and private collections around the world.EXHIBITIONFebruary 3 - May 26, 2019Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel

August Sander


August Sander (1876-1964) was a documentary photographer whose greatest project lasted his entire working life. His series of portrait studies of the German people spanned three eras - the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany - and every social class, combining to form a fascinating social mirror of the country over a tumultuous period in its history. Working with calm determination, Sander cast the same lucid eye on bankers and boxers, soldiers and circus performers, creating strikingly honest images that fulfil his sole ambition: to tell the truth about humanity.

Bauhaus - Updated Edition


In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany's Bauhaus School of Art and Design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, sculpture to ceramics. This book is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung in Berlin, the world's largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 550 illustrations including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a "total" work of art. As we approach the Bauhaus centennial, this is a defining account of its energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. Featured artists include Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Lilly Reich.

Toulouse-Lautrec and the Stars of Paris


The stars and denizens of Toulouse-Lautrec's bohemian cabaret world Toulouse-Lautrec and the Stars of Paris offers a guided tour of fin-de-siecle Paris at night, bringing a group of its legendary protagonists to life. The six performers at the center of this book--Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, Aristide Bruant, Marcelle Lender, May Belfort and Loie Fuller--were all depicted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and in some ways defined by his iconic renderings. Actors and actresses, comedians, cabaret singers and dancers, these figures were the stars of the new entertainments of 19th-century Paris. This booming nightlife scene coincided with new developments in modern printmaking. Lautrec immortalized the performances and personas of the city's entertainers in colorful lithographs, elevating the advertising poster to the status of high art. Artist and performer collaborated to exploit a new culture of entertainment and mass media, creating a new kind of celebrity in the process. Lavishly illustrated with high-quality, full-color reproductions of Lautrec's iconic images alongside some of his rarely seen sketches, and illuminated by insightful essays, this volume shines a spotlight on the stars of the Paris stage, the birth of modern celebrity culture and the brilliance of the artist who gave them enduring life. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was the descendant of an old and distinguished aristocratic family from the south of France, but he found his true home in the bars and nightclubs of the Montmartre distinct in Paris. In a brief mature career of only 15 years (Lautrec died at age 36 from complications of alcoholism and syphilis), the artist was stunningly prolific, producing approximately 1,000 paintings and watercolors, nearly 5,000 drawings and more than 350 prints and posters.

Posledná večera Leonarda z Vinci


Autor knihy Stano Lajda je súčasný slovenský maliar stojaci na pomyselnej hranici figurálneho realizmu a surrealizmu či fantaskného umenia. Neusiluje sa priradiť k žiadnemu konkrétnemu prúdu a vytrvalo sa venuje figurálnej maľbe. Jeho tvorbu dlhé roky sprevádza fascinácia dielom velikánov dejín výtvarného umenia, najmä však odkazom geniálneho Leonarda da Vinci. Celoživotné skúmanie jeho Poslednej večere – praktické aj teoretické – ho priviedlo k vytvoreniu vernej rekonštrukcie tohoto diela. Práve príbeh obrazu Poslednej večere prináša autor v knihe Leonardo. Je tak určená nielen milovníkom umenia, fanúšikom renesančného človeka a umelca da Vinciho, ale aj študentom umenia a odbornej verejnosti.
