A tribute to French jewelry designer Jean Dinh Van who, in 1965, created a brand that defied all expectations, with innovative pieces designed to be worn by all. An iconoclast by nature, French jeweler Jean Dinh Van worked metal by hand like a sculptor, guided by his instinctive creative impulse. With a modernist vision, he designed jewelry imbued with style that could be worn with anything, anywhere, anytime. He took jewelry “into the streets” with models like the handcuff bracelet that transgressed and revolutionized the traditional codes of Paris’s famed high jewelry district, the Place Vendôme. Dinh Van, the “geometer of jewelry,” placed shape and form at the center of his innovative style. Photographs of his iconic works reveal his distinctive vocabulary, from his predilection to the void to his sublimation of ordinary objects—razor blades, military ID tags, thumbtacks—to his interpretation of the rounded square or the chain link. His artistic flair led to collaborations with many artists and couture designers, including Pierre Cardin, Paco Rabanne, and Thierry Mugler. Published to celebrate the brand’s sixtieth anniversary, this monograph recounts the history of the groundbreaking jewelry designer, his emblematic creations, and how Maison Dinh Van continues to draw inspiration from his legacy, adapting his revolutionary codes to the modern day.

'Empathy is the currency of all music and Joe Mulhall does a great job of explaining how that quality has been used to generate solidarity for the struggle and sympathy for those who suffer injustice' Billy Bragg While the global history of the dictatorships, oppression, racism and state violence over the last century is well known - the role that music played in people's lives during these times is less understood. This book is a collection of stories and hidden histories about how music provided light in the darkest of times over the past century. How it steeled souls and inspired resistance to oppression. Rebel Sounds will explore freedom songs in the Republic of Ireland, the Soviet Union's oppression behind the Berlin Wall, authoritarian dictatorships in Brazil and Nigeria, institutionalised racism and police violence in America and South Africa, street violence in Britain, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and musical resistance in war-torn Ukraine. This is a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music.

Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. All monsters need feeding. Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunting of Hill House, Yellowjackets and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: what's wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it. In Feeding the Monster, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.

V průběhu 19. a 20. století stálo české umění opakovaně před otázkou, co vlastně znamená „skutečně lidové“ a jak s tímto pojmem tvůrčím způsobem pracovat. Předkládaná kniha podrobně sleduje proměny tohoto hledání od počátků národního obrození, kdy Herderovy myšlenky a tehdejší evropská literární praxe probudily zájem o lidovou slovesnost a inspirovaly vznik tzv. ohlasové literatury, až po dobu první republiky, během které architekti a výtvarníci usilující o vytvoření národního stylu dospěli k syntetickým formám v čele s „rondokubismem“ okruhu Pavla Janáka. Autor krok za krokem odhaluje paralely mezi vývojem literatury a výtvarného umění – od kořenů ve sběratelském nadšení přes mechanickou formální nápodobu až po krizi a volání po historické i umělecké pravdivosti. Pozornost věnuje sporům o hranice „pravého“ folkloru, proměnám představ o tvůrčí autonomii lidových vrstev i napětí mezi romantickými vizemi národního ducha a kritickým pohledem inspirovaným hegelovskou filozofií. Výsledkem je intelektuálně podnětný příběh idejí, které po celé století formovaly českou kulturu – od bouřlivých let obrození přes exaltovanou atmosféru vzniku samostatného státu až po meziválečnou modernu. Kniha otevírá čtenáři cestu k hlubšímu porozumění tomu, jak se „lidové“ stalo jedním z nejmocnějších symbolů české národní identity.

V dynamicky se vyvíjejícím světě naší každodennosti hrají stále významnější roli audiovizuální a digitální technologie, a to i pro děti, které do jeho nestálé a proměnlivé reality přicházejí. Jak se mají adaptovat na všudypřítomnou naléhavost digitálních obrazů? Jakým způsobem můžeme v oborovém kontextu vnímat vzdělávací potenciál experimentálních a raných filmů, digitálních her a dalších neprobádaných oblastí ponorné řeky audiovize? V publikaci je filmová a audiovizuální výchova vymezena jako nově emancipovaný obor na pomezí umělecké a pedagogické praxe, který nabízí široké možnosti uplatnění – od formálního vzdělávání a volnočasových aktivit po různá odvětví filmové kultury. Cílem textu je představit transformační procesy, od nichž by filmová a audiovizuální výchova mohla odvíjet svou didaktiku; ta sice čerpá inspiraci z dramatické a výtvarné výchovy, ale vychází při tom ze svébytných výrazových prostředků filmového umění. Publikace systematizuje oborové poznání a pojmenovává cesty, které povedou k postupnému rozvoji didaktiky a infrastruktury.

Iconic photos by Jill Furmanovsky chart the dramatic career of Oasis – on stage, backstage and in the studio – paired with exclusive commentary by Noel Gallagher Jill Furmanovsky’s unparalleled work with Oasis stretches from the end of 1994 – when the band’s debut album, Definitely Maybe, became the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history at the time – to their last tense shows in 2009, which culminated in their split. Jill was given unprecedented access to countless worldwide performances and many recording sessions. In this beautiful volume, overseen and edited by Noel Gallagher, award-winner Furmanovsky presents classic highlights and unseen images from her complete Oasis archive, which she describes as her best body of work, as well as insightful observations taken from notes she made at the time. Organized chronologically, the book depicts more than 500 photographs, contact sheets and sequenced film strips of the band on stage, backstage, on the road, in the studio and behind the scenes. Jill captured the drama of the band’s lifestyle during the 1990s when, as she said, ‘they were on a comet, hanging on for dear life’. The access she was given allowed closeness, and she was able to document the competitive and at times volatile relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher up to their split in 2009, creating a poignant visual diary that is more than the sum of its parts. In this book she extends the visual story to 2025*, capturing the band in rehearsal for the upcoming reunion tour. Accompanying the images is illuminating commentary by Noel Gallagher, who relates the inside stories of the events pictured in many of the shoots and demonstrates an honest and touching relationship between band and photographer. Three essays by music journalists provide context to the band’s story, and an introduction by Jill celebrates the supreme significance of Oasis in her 50+ years photographing musicians. * Definitely…Maybe Jill Furmanovsky has photographed legendary rock musicians for more than 50 years, including Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Blondie, The Clash, The Ramones, The Pretenders, Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Amy Winehouse and Oasis. In 2024 she received a Lifetime Achievement award from Amateur Photography magazine; the Legend of the year award from So.Co for Image of Music Awards; and the Abbey Road ICON award. Noel Gallagher is the primary songwriter, lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of Oasis, the band that defined the era of Cool Britannia. In August 1994 Oasis’s first album, Definitely Maybe, entered the UK charts at number one and received widespread critical and commercial success, as did their next two albums, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) and Be Here Now (1997). The band split in 2009 but are reforming for a worldwide tour in 2025. ‘It’s been an honour to have been associated with her for 30 years’ Noel Gallagher ‘The iconic images by Furmanovsky capture the glorious madness of it all’ Rolling Stone ‘If you look at her Oasis photographs it is one of the great essays in the history of photography’ Gail Buckland, author, curator, photo-historian
