Martin Parr: Beach Therapy


During his long career as a photographer, Martin Parr has always photographed on beaches, particularly in the UK. He has often used the beach as a laboratory to experiment with new cameras and techniques. So far example, when he changed from black and white to medium format colour in the early 80s his first major project was about New Brighton, a run down seaside resort near Liverpool. In recent months he has started exploring the beach with the aid of a telephoto lens. This lens is rarely used in the world of art and documentary photography so it is a challenge to find new ways of using it. Often this involves incorporating the vegetation on the perimeter with the beach as a backdrop, both in and out of focus. So over his long career he has tried everything from a close up macro lens, a medium format wide angled camera and finally this latest offering with the telephoto.

Playing the Game


This history of adidas, one of the world's most innovative global companies, looks beyond the trademark three stripes to show how the company grew and evolved over time. Founded in a small town in Bavaria, Germany, the adidas brand has, for nearly a century, been outfitting international sports stars and pop culture icons such as David Beckham, Zin dine Zidane, and Run-DMC as well as everyday men, women, and children across the globe. The story of this evolution--illustrated with numerous historic photographs--is entwined with history, corporate trends, and the emergence of sports as a major factor in the world economy. Starting with the beginnings of the original Dassler brothers' company in the time of the Weimar Republic and National Socialism, this book reveals the first academically-based look at the history of the family and the adidas company which was officially founded in 1949 after the brothers' separation. Using a worldwide range of sources, the authors also examine brand strategies and globalization since the 1960s. Since its beginnings, the name 'adidas' has been shrouded in legend and, in this special look at the rise of a global company, readers will learn the true story behind the brand.

Graciela Iturbide's Mexico - Photographs


Iturbide is modern Mexico's subtlest, most profound chronicler Graciela Iturbide, best known for her iconic photographs of Mexican indigenous women, has engaged with her homeland as a subject for the past 50 years in images of great variety and depth. The intensely personal, lyrical photographs collected and interpreted in this book show that, for Iturbide, photography is a way of life--as well as a way of seeing and understanding Mexico, with all its beauties, rituals, challenges and contradictions. The Mexico portrayed here is a country in constant transition, defined by tensions and exchanges between new and old, urban and rural, traditional and modern. Iturbide's deep connection with her subjects--among them political protests, celebrations and rituals, desert landscapes, cities, places of burial and Mexico's artistic heritage--produces indelible images that encompass dreams, symbols, reality and daily life. Published to accompany the first major museum exhibition of Iturbide's work on the East Coast, this volume presents more than 100 beautifully reproduced black-and-white photographs, accompanied by illuminating essays inviting readers to share in Graciela Iturbide's personal artistic journey through the country she knows so intimately. One of the most influential photographers active in Latin America today, Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (born 1942) began studying photography in the 1970s with legendary photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Seeking "to explore and articulate the ways in which a vocable such as 'Mexico' is meaningful only when understood as an intricate combination of histories and practices," as she puts it, Iturbide has created a nuanced and sensitive documentary record of contemporary Mexico.

Claude Monet


More than any other artist, Claude Monet represents Impressionist painting. This volume illustrates Monet's career from Realism via Impressionism to a form of painting in which the colo urs and light gradually become detached from the object. It focuses on the artist's colour concept, an aspect of his oeuvre which has hitherto not been examined in detail, as well as his passionate study of subjects from his garden in Giverny. The French "Master of Light" (1840 - 1926) was a key forerunner of twentieth - century painting. He painted by the sea, on the steep coast of Normandy and on the banks of the Seine. Monet's light and colours intera ct on the canvas with a nature that is constantly changing. In order to record the variety of atmospheric impressions, he painted many of his subjects in series. In his study of the world of plants and water in his garden the subject gradually becomes inde pendent of his observation of nature. In this way the artist's late work paved the way for the painting of Abstract

Ve městech a především po venkovské krajině východních Čech je na ni rozptýlena řada památek z oblasti hmotné kultury, které stojí za ochranu a péči, zachování do budoucích let a turistické objevování.

Harminc


Michal Milan Harminc patrí popri D. Jurkovičovi a E. Bellušovi k najvýznamnejším slovenským architektom. Jeho život a výnimočné architektonické dielo mapuje vedecká monografia # Harminc autorov Jany Pohaničovej a Petra Vodrážku. Opiera sa o vedecké poznatky autorov, získané systematickou výskumnou prácou na grantových projektoch doma i v zahraničí. Pútavý životný príbeh, charakteristika jednotlivých tvorivých etáp od historizmov, k moderne a funkcionalizmu spolu s reprezentatívnym typologickým výberom architetových stavieb - to všetko predstavené v roku 150. výročia narodenia a 55. výročia úmrtia nestora, vytvára predpoklad k obohateniu osobnostného spektra slovenskej historiografie architektúry o nové kontexty. Impozantných takmer 300 realizovaných diel rôznych typologických druhov na území bývalého Rakúsko-Uhorska, neskôr Slovenska v rámci vtedajšieho Československa či na pôde nástupníckych štátov - v Maďarsku, v Srbsku, v Rumunsku, no i na Ukrajine ho v rokoch 1887 - 1951 zároveň právom zaradili k najproduktívnejším architektom nielen na Slovensku, ale aj v širšom európskom priestore.Autori v texte prinášajú rad nových poznatkov, ktoré prispievajú k identifikácii architektonických hodnôt Harmincovho diela, a tým aj k ochrane nášho i európskeho kultúrneho dedičstva. Život a dielo tejto výnimočnej osobnosti v knihe ilustrujú vzácne archívne dokumenty (dosiaľ nepublikované), originálne plány, dobové fotografie i aktuálne fotografie, ktoré dotvárajú plastický obraz mohutného architektonického diela nestora. Napriek nesporným vedeckým a odborným hodnotám je kniha nesmierne pútavá aj pre laického čitateľa.

Renaissance People


Like every era, the Renaissance brims with stories. In this book, Robert Davis and Beth Lindsmith highlight dozens of notable lives from between 1400 and 1600. They bring to life wily politicians, eccentric scientists, fiery rebels and stolid reactionaries, as well as a pornographer, an acrobat, an actress, a poetic prostitute, a star comedian and a least one very fretful mother. Some names - Leonardo, Luther, Medici and Machiavelli - are famous, but many others will be new to general readers. Their stories, ninety-four in all, remind us that history is more than dates and abstract concepts: it also arises from the lives of countless individual men and women.

Postkonceptuální antikoncepce


Dialektika předpokladů a reality jednoho projektu Intro z roku 2017: Kateřina Adamová (1977), Michaela Maupicová (1982) a Dana Sahánková (1984) jsou autorky zabývající se především kresbou. Každá s tímto médiem zachází jinak a každá z něho vychází jiným směrem, vstříc jinému horizontu. Název výstavy Postkonceptuální antikoncepce odkazující k radikální kritické tradici DADA, v sobě zrcadlí pro současnost charakteristickou „hru s diskursem“. Výstava si zvolila jako analogon k „hernímu principu současného diskursu“ oblast farmakologie, konkrétně té spjaté s oddálením početí. Pokračování 2018: Antikoncepci v názvu projektu lze ale také vnímat jako ironickou metaforu označující způsob práce, který jde oproti racionálnímu kalkulu spíše cestou intuice a vciťování. Vždyť co je koncepční, to souvisí v první řadě s myšlením, s rozvahou, kalkulem, s nějakým ideovým rozvrhem, jenž sleduje a naplňuje konkrétní cíl. Umělecká tvorba tento moment samozřejmě obsahuje, ale nebývá jediným komponentem uměleckého díla. Petr Vaňous, kurátor výstavy – autor textu.

Anja Niemi: In Character


Anja Niemi: In Character is the first career retrospective/monograph by one of the most exciting talents working in contemporary photography, whose work has emerged as a distinctive force within the venerable tradition of conceptual self-portraiture. A photo-artist who works alone - photographing, staging and acting out the characters in all of her images - Niemi is a constant presence, in character, in her work, developing complex, nuanced narratives through evocative costume and styling, her characters framed and formed within meticulously staged mise-en-scene. In her bewitching `Darlene & Me' series, for example, she reconfigures the concept of the Hitchcock blonde within a pristine Lynchian landscape for her own visual pleasure - and ours - while in `She Could Have Been A Cowboy' she turns the lens to a life lived under the constraints of conformity. Anja Niemi is now at the `breakout moment' in her career, having had exhibitions in Amsterdam, London, New York, Oslo and Paris, and with her first museum retrospective show opening at Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm in February 2019. With over 100 photographs organized into the six series that have marked Niemi's career to date, supported by an essay and interview by Max Houghton, Anja Niemi: In Character is the perfect introduction for those encountering Niemi's work for the first time, and a comprehensive retrospective of her career to date for her long-time followers.
